SB = 24/10 over 45H, 3b 12% over 17H. Normal cb 67% 3H, 2nd barrel 0% 2H.

Pre i call in position, its kinda cheap, wanna see a flop.
Post: i flop a double gutter, so imo a call is the best option, looking at his stats; i hope he will give up on the turn and pick up the pot there. Then the turn brings the flush. He checks which seems good. Do we bet, if so how much? Are we shoving the river if called?

Check and bet river IMO.

Check and bet river IMO.

I´d bet the turn for protection and (mostly) check behind river. You can´t rep anything else than AT if you check behind and bet the river which gives him the opportunity to play perfectly against you.

Not crazy about calling the 3bet preflop here, even ip.

As played betting the turn seems fine.
You have decent pe and now some decent fe with the turn scare card.
So this looks an obv bet ott for me.

We rep more hands like JT KJ and other Qx hands by checking and betting river. If you are always betting JT,KJ etc on the turn you are going to own yourself.

Hero bets $15.
SB calls.

River: 7s

Hero bets $64 (pot ~$73)


I bet the turn for 1/3 pot, to set up a river shove, and plan to shove any non club river. Thoughts? Or should i just give up ? What about my turn betsizing ?

is it to soon to make a 4bet bluff? I mean if you can call for value you can prolly 4bet bluff imo.

does the sample size here 45H, mean 45 hands? if so i'd be folding to this pf 3bet for sure

Yes, 45 hands. You think he's too tight to be 3betting light?
