I think I made a mistake on the turn in this hand - I got abit excited I think ! lol

The villain would be in my top 5 regs at this level, played 100s of hands together. He percieves me as loose, abit spewy sometimes, but he knows I do ok at this level.

He isn't a nit, but he aint spewy either, he's pretty solid, with moves.

It's unraised, so he can literally have any 2 here. When he raises my lead on the flop though, he's never doing this as a bluff in an unraised pot. I decided to make a large 3 bet on the flop - as I believed his range of hands was pretty strong, I can almost narrow it right down to a flopped 2 pair, and sometimes a set.

The shorty gets it in, so we go to the turn with £35 in the middle, and £32 behind.

I really didn't know what bet to make here. I got stuck - I never flop the nuts :(

What would you do, and why?

    I'm guessing he's a nit? I'd bet like 13-14ish.

    With a dry side pot, if he's a thinking player, anything you bet now looks super strong.

    Given that you have less than a PSB left, I would be tempted to jam, and hope he levels himself to call with 2 pair etc...

    Alternative is to flick in a weak bet (£8 - £10?), which he can't fold to, and may even come over the top of.

    well if you bet anything less than the rest of your stack he'll know you're nutted.

    I'd also pot the flop.

    he knows we have a v strong hand anyway. He's called the flop so he has at least 2 pair/set, maybe even A4. If we jam and he's good enough he's going to fold so much - plus with the all in he knows your going to showdown so this is rarely a bluff.

    This is difficult spot to get value, whatever he does (shove/bet weak) isn't wrong. I'd just bet weaker myself. I said 13ish originally but having read the description i'd probs go even lower, maybe just over £10.

    as he the bb and raising that flop i think its safe to assume he has at least 2p so i'd try getting it in on the flop as theres a few cards that will kill our action on the turn

    as played jamming turn is best

    I can't get it in on the flop when he flats my raise to £8, the shorty makes it £3 more - I can't raise again....

    All in, as i put them on set or 2 pair. with your image you are definately getting called unless they have overpair which is unlikely as i doubt they would limp

    if they are calling a value bet then they are calling a shove, get it in and hope their on a set or 2nd nuts would be ideal :)

    If the oppo wasnt good then I would prob bet weaker because they are virtually never folding, but to a good reg our hand looks unbeliveably strong. I think the best way to get called is to shove and level him into thinking that we are trying to get him to fold a made hand so that we get to showdown with decent equity against the shorty.

    i dont get why you are talking about leveling. its a limped pot and we 3bet the flop we always have a set or better.
    i actually think flatting the flop raise is best if we are against a good reg

    Do you not think the fact that he's a good reg, rather than a bad reg/short stacker that's run good etc etc etc is relevant to the discussion and therefore the decision I make?

    I dunno, you moan when people don't include info on the villain, and you moan when they do.

    I have established it is a good time to do a bet.

    I am unsure as to "how much" to bet.

    And I would/should bet different amounts according to a players ability. Obviously.

    I ship it on the turn, betting into a dry pot shows more strength than shipping it there and then.

    Also if you do a small value bet on the turn, it get's called then suddenly the board pairs or the 3rd diamond comes and it stops you from then making another bet and affectly getting it all in.

    'good reg' is relative.


    You have less than the pot back, he has a strong hand obviously, strawberry jam all day.
