What do you think about the villains c/r all in on the top left table? For me it seems that there are not many worse hands you can call here. QQ is probably the only hand he can hope you have and call. AA, KK, AK, KJ, JJ all beat his hand and it's very unlikely that you have and call with KT. So QQ is the only hand in your calling range that he beats?

Yeah I think it's bad and he should c/c. If he CRAIs KQ there he's also doing it with AJ as they're essentially the same hand, QQ in my range being the only difference, but AJ blocks AA and AK. He's just not a very good player. A bit unusual and spewy, which is why I cbet QQ to begin with, and why I have no 4b bluffing range there either. His player type is more common on iPoker.

Shouldnt you shove, even if he is strong? So much money already in the pot. Two overs and an open ender + some FE.

I doubt we have any FE at all. c/mr usually has TPTK beat, so my overs won't be live very often. He's kind enough to make it cheap for me to draw by only c/mr, so I rather take advantage of that.

Why do you call the 3bet with 99 OOP vs a very tight player. Its not really strong vs his 3bet range, almost always overcards, youre pretty much forced to play fit or fold when he cbets...

T4o - iso raise - could you explain why you do this

So you consider 3-betting QJo...Dont see any value, hands that you dominate are going to fold (most of them at least) and he's gonna call with AQ, KQ... Im saying I think there's no need to have QJ in the 3b range, or what do u think?

Tight players often flat with hands like AJ KQ in BvB. They 3b polarized, using hands like A5o to bluff. 99 dominates his 3b bluffs. If he was 3betting depolarized, 99 would be the same as 22, but this simply isn't the case here.

Do you think are there any merits to showing this bluff to a fish? What in general is your approach to showing bluffs to the fish? What about strong hands when they fold? I often tend to show my bluffs to a fish which I think might be prone to tilting and willing to play back in a bluffy way. Do you take any other factors into consideration?

T4o - iso raise - could you explain why you do this

I kinda auto raised just because he limped, as most limpers play fit/fold to cbets. Immediately after the raise I mention this spot probably not being so good because of him possibly being tight/passive instead of loose-passive, and thus possibly not folding much to cbets as a result.

But I do immediately profit from the folds I get. Also, playing QJo sure sounds good because he has hands that I dominate in his range etc, but in practice you get yourself in a lot of bad spots postflop. The larger your postflop edge is over him the more inclined you should be to call. The smaller your edge the more inclined you should be to 3b. Against a good MSNL reg I'd probably 3b the majority of the time.

Last hand. On which cards would you barrel third barrel?

Last hand. On which cards would you barrel third barrel?

Probably 100% of rivers, he c/c'd flop really fast, so he's very unlikely to be slowplaying as he'd have taken some time to consider whether he should slowplay or fastplay on the wet board.
