Upper right table - did you consider turning your hand into a bluff? although you aren´t repping that much, Villain has a one-pair hand most of the time and your 77 won´t win very often (if at all).




Like you said, I don't think I am repping much, and I doubt I can get him to fold very often.

since ur hand is so underrepped cant he have value hands that u beat (at?), figuring he doesn wanna c/f and isnt sure if hell be owned by c/c.
or combos like 79s, 99, 89s as a bluff
u have to figure if he has jj hed c/c and he doesnt rly have sets played in this way so his value range can be only qt or flushes. (not even straights)

also re his pre sizing being on the bigger side. does that weigh his range one way or the other?

None of those assumptions are really reasonable. He just doens't take this line with any worse hand for value. Jamming AT here is basically a bluff.

Preflop sizing shouldnt be relevant vs a regular.

I could be way off here (so jus say if i am and ill be done with it) cuz i dont play these stakes or anything close
but
to me at least it seems crazy to fold.
he bet utg u flatted utg+1 with kk (top of ur range and way underrepped)

he then relinquishes lead on flop and c/c twice.

so to fold realistically he can only have j9 qt or a flush for value that beats u.
qt ud have to give him credit for opening utg to over 3x (so probably can only have qts). then c/c after being pfr (which he would do some percentage of the time forsure but not every time with the 3 combos of qts).
j9, again, hed have to have c/c rather than bet which (to me at least) seems weak and something he forsure wouldnt do every time he has j9 on that flop.
and flushes, again, ud have to give him credit for givin up lead and c/c twice.

so his narrow value range thats ahead of kk is made even more narrow by not playing them in the most standard way possible (or in a way he would 100p of the time)

throwing in even a few random hands that make sense like kqhh or aqhh and with some random bluffs seems like his value range:hands u beat ratio is jus too low to fold.
plus ur hand is somewhere near the top of ur betting-twice-when-checked-to range

Being at the top of my range is not relevant if I believe that he is extremely polarized, and he either jams better for value, or is bluffing with worse.

I'd be closer to calling here with something like AQ, especially AQ w/ Ah.

Top left you c/c 44 on 875 rb board vs a 1/2 pot cbet. Why do you think this is a profitable c/c? Sure, he only bets 1/2 pot but our gutshot is fairly weak and has bad implied odds, I can see a lot of barrels from him given that your range for c/c'ing flop looks capped and even if he does play str8 forward, almost all of his hands have at least 2 overcards and therefore very decent equity vs 44.

You are right, check raising is better.

quick question, what are you doing say with his hand(76s) oop on the k87 board?
do you call two streets or are you turning your hand into a bluff somewhere in the hand?

Turn call is questionable, as is preflop. Can't really see where he could bluff, maybe c/r flop.
