Mid Stakes Shorthanded NL Poker Forums

ive been running like SH*T lately, so quick question about this scenario: is this 3barrel +ev or not? how do you play this ..and what makes you decide to 3barrel or c/C flop or something

BTN: $180.75
Hero (SB): $1110.75 up that session and played reasonable enough
BB: $2172.50 24/20 pretty good from what ive seen so far
UTG: $1389.00
CO: $1122.75

Pre Flop: ($15.00) Hero is SB with K T
3 folds, Hero raises to $30, BB calls $20

Flop: ($60.00) 4 A 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $42.00, BB calls $42

Turn: ($144.00) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $112.00, BB calls $112

River: ($368.00) J (2 players)
Hero bets $284.00

and what about the river sizing
flop i shouldve bet 48 or sth?

I give up on the river. I read he has TP and he is not folding to a pot smaller than pot.

yeah

i think whatever he is calling with can either improve, has improved or could turn itself into a bluff, because he has all the opportunity in the position.. but why barrel in the first place then?
he is never going to let me get away with this!?

looking back at the board it feels like i have nothing in my repertoire to make this hand profitable at all.

a) i guess i could checkraise the flop and put in the last bet somewhere?
b) what do you think about checking (planning to call) and c/f the turn ui?

I think you are overreacting. If you think that he is float happy and stabby, you can c/shove turn. C/f turn makes sense if you think that his flop calling range is heavily weighted to hands that are never folding to a turn bet, seems hard to believe in a blind battle.

i think you are underreacting

Check calling is a very weak line. Be very cautious when to take that line. I prefer the aggression. But sometimes it can be a good idea to x call.

Flop is somewhat dry. Only hands we are worried avbout are A7,A4 and some combos draws like 86cc or 45cc, so its really a small range for him he can have. Therefore we can bet flop smaller rather than larger.

If you think he calls/calls/folds then better bigger on the flop maybe an advantage but your $42 bet size is good IMO.

I tend to not 3barrel in these situation and I myself have bene trying more 3barrelings with a more balanced range but its not turning out good lol. I think I would double barrel the turn (for images sake so we get calls from Ax against a triple barrel in future when we have a set/AJ+), but I would c/f the river. Once you create an image of bet/bet/cf draws I think we can triple barrel this but really has to be against the right sort of players.
