Small Stakes Shorthanded NL Poker Forums

Villain is 24/19. 3bet vs steal is only 1/49 in BB. I've never seen him check/raise. I've seen him donk overcards+bdfd on the flop. We have no history. Really weird line. I'm tempted to shove, since I don't see why he would play a flush this way. I would shove with the Ac. What do you think?

I guess you were going for the triple barrel if river blanks to get him to fold 87,65,45 etc..

If so this card is really good for his range so I would fold.

If you werent triple barrelling on blanks your line is bad.

Preflop
His 3b vs steal is only 1/49, but what about calls? 40/49?
Consider raising to 2.0 bb, because your range is the weakest on the BTN+you will keep the SPR higher in 3bet pots, which is good.

Flop
Same here, use lower sizing with the weakest range -> 1/2.

Turn
And again, I'd bet 60-66% max.

River
Not sure if you are aware of the fact that each 7x just made a straight. I wouldn't exclude bd flushes as well. From my experience this a value hand (straight or flush) like 90%++ of the time. So don't try to move him off that. Fold.
