Mid Stakes Shorthanded NL Poker Forums

Villian is ALLIN9865. He is pretty TAG, but makes moves as well. I have him as a 21/17.5. I have been very active at this table, 27/22/3 since I sat down. I think his opening range is wide enough for me to 3b him here.

This donk bet through me off?? AAA is possible, as is JJJ and 555, but I think alot of this could be weird combo draws. KQdd, KTdd. Can I ever get an ace to fold here? Fold pre? Fold now? Raise? Call and evaluate?

I think I peel one time

OK, now he has half his stack in with a dry turn card. Ya like a push or a fold?

El foldo. I don't really know if I like the flop peel, personally. If you're peeling the flop, you're doing it specifically because you have a read that he donks air or the diamond draw, and you've got to be willing to get it in on this turn. If you're just going to call/fold, you're spewing chips on the flop because he's not going to check 2 streets after a flop call.

shitty spot... notes come in pretty handy in this spot. have you ever seen him do this before, it is v weird how he doesnt go for a flop c/r and leads twice, i think i might actually shove this. his bet sizing is super gay also...

and imo shove > fold > call

How about a small raise on the flop, and fold to a shove? Chances are you're not in great shape against his shoving range, and he'll need some real sack to put in a 3-bet bluff here without lots of equity. If he calls, chances are you're on the way to a cheap showdown (which is cool, try and do that most of the time)
