I think I played the turn wrong??

ZedsDeadBa

After recieving a very cheap gutshot, which was nice of them, and then looking for a c/r I think I may have whimped out a little with the amount. Opponent was playin lots of hands but wasnt overly calling like a town cryer so was afraid of losing a customer with a pot size bet, but on reflection I probably could have stacked him on the river had I just punched pot!

hey mate, i had the same situation with the same hand the other night(i hit straight) villain had top pair. i played same as u but jammed on river and got looked up. depends on the oppo though if they call thinking top pair is winning.

why are you 3betting pre?

I might bet flop

raise turn bigger

even as played shove river, its an easy shove if u raise turn bigger

hate the turn minraise sooooo much but everyone loves it at this level, so w/e I guess lol

Probably no need to mash pot and overkill, but raise to £1.10/1.20 or so, then you can comfortably stick him in on river.

Also, KJ is nowhere near strong enough to 3bet pre. You've been given a nice cheap flop with cards that flop well, so leave it at that.

It is if he calls with QJ. I would think it might be possible to 3bet KJ for value at 4NL. Most villains are stations from what I hear so you should be able to widen your 3bet value range IF opener opens wideish . I'm not sure I like it in this spot though

Without being rude I think you played it wrong pre.  KJ is not a raising hand there.  KJ is called the rookie hand for a reason bud.  It looks pretty bud plays badly against a callers range post.

But if you are raising oop there pre, you need to intend fire a solid 2/3rds pot pot on flop.  You cant really raise there with the plan to win the pot at showdown imo.

As it turns out its an action hand.  He leads so strong when the Q falls I likely make a bet that commits his stack on the river regardless of what falls

Because I wanted to play HU against the button, he was calling everything with nothing.

But they were calling with stuff like K3o and Q7o!!!

If you have a feel for the table like you seem to here, then perhaps its not quite so bad.  But I'd still rather go to the gunfight with a bigger gun, you know?

I'm not saying the KJ is a terrible hand.  I'm saying that raising in the SB to then be OOP through streets against that kind of player is needlessly dangerous.  Inflating the pot doesnt really serve any purpose.  That type of player is going to call you down super light, so you need to win at showdown.

Sounds like they are going to stack you at some point anyhow so make it up to 0.08 and play solid post IMO.

The fact they are calling with those junk hands is a solid reason not to raise and exercise a bit of PC, as they likely hold any 2.  In this case you make the nuts.  In many many other cases you miss completely or get an A high flop, then what against the any 2 cowboys?  Tempted to call down K high in an inflated pot (or spiking 2nd pair on later street)?

Ok thanks AMYBR.

You see the problem now?

Flat pre.

Call flop.

DO NOT **** minraise on turn make a normal big raise.

DO NOT half pot bet after being called on river, shovle your stack in to the middle.

pre is fine if they are calling super wide, i would probably 3bet bigger though. i think flop is fine its a pretty bad flop to cbet. make it ~1.20 on turn and shove river
