Been posting alot so figured only fair to put up a hand that had me stuck this week:
Live £50 FO 63 seats. 10k starting stack 24 min blinds, solid structure.
Not to far out of the gates, 2nd lvl, say all 8 seats @ table have full 10k stack:
Blinds 50/100. I find JJ utg +1. Make it 250. CO, button and BB calls
CO readless,
Button super laggy
BB is a total nit through streets. Has moves shallow, but would categorise him as being overly tight in general.
My image is pretty aggro as standard. Small ball IP mostly, but anybody paying attention will know that even I have a hand playing from such EP
4 to flop 1050 in pot Js Qs 6c flop. BB checks, I fire 650 expecting to get called pretty wide. CO folds, Button calls, as does BB
3000 in pot, effective stacks have 9000 ish bhind. Js Qs 6c 9h.
BB tank checks. Half pot feels same as 3/4 here. Could bet pot here but I rarely like to do this. Make it 2300.
CO sigh folds, he was who worried me mostly tbf, feel nit folds out most draws.
7600 in pot Js Qs 6c 9c 7d.
BB ships pot sized bet of 6500 ish. Kind of lvld self here as oppo knows I'm virtually always sat there with no hand (in LP), but very rarely sat there with a hand that will call a ship in general. Kind of tight for Tlife overall (as said..... inner lvling war).
What can we do on river?
(I mucked, he showed: will say after a few posts)

I prefer opening bigger ~100BB deep, esp from early position. obv if thats your standard open thats what you make it here
bet flop bigger
turn fine, might go a little bigger to set up easier river shove
river I snapcall, yeah you are beat sometimes, but he can have 2p, worse set, weird bluffs
Aslo, fwiw, both K10 and 86 should def be in the hand from action pre in BB (nrly 6/1 closing action), 86 obv less so - unless 86s
So K10 58 & 810 being the range we are fearful of vs overly tight plyr.
Dont want to get stuck on this one element, was simply saying that even a tight player will obv call last to act pre getting 6/1. Those hands being within the range of our four handed flop.
Obv only the suited 58 810s should be really feared given reads, the K10 being most likely.
Honestly, I think we can narrow down the range of hands that beat us here to one: KT. It's certainly conceivable that he could be playing that with a call in the blinds, with good pot-odds. The only other hand that could possibly beat us, given the post-flop action, is QQ. I don't know too many players that wouldn't 3-bet QQ pre-flop, though I'm sure there are some who wouldn't.
I honestly think that even if we include the unlikely QQ in his range it's far too small a portion of his range to fold to. AQ, KQ, QJ, lower sets, missed flush-draws and missed combo-draws are all in his range here. It's not inconceivable that he has 9sTs here or something like that. Even tight, nitty players can make moves and if the opponent has an understanding of table image, he's going to know that he can get you off alot of hands here.
If he put you on AQ, KQ or something like that, he'd expect to be able to get you off it with the shove. His image being so tight and knowing you to be a thinking player. If he's got the hand here I think you've been coolered and are making a mistake if you don't go broke.
Guess he was a plain non believer on flop. He'd turned a set of 9's
So glad mucked hand instead of hero folding face up
He shows his hand like its the obv nuts..... sigh
I exploded, out in 2 more lvls
Big believer in trusting reads/instinct. Guess in this instance his own belief that his hand was so strong vs my range sent my radar askew.
Against most other players I sigh beat them into pot. Think it is a horrible fold for most part in hinsight..hey-ho
You should have folded face up. It would have done wonders for your image: "I'm so tight that second set isn't good enough for me!"
(Joking aside, I'm never folding 2nd set in a million years here)
As said, i beat unknowns/most knowns into the pot.
Mainly solid knowledge of player that made it tricky.
But yes, still a bad fold I agree
Lots of us post alot and the debates kind of get involved @ times. My brother was over yesterday and was looking through borinloser and my debate on pocket 55's in a spot and was abit huh? Just wanted to demonstrate the diff between armchair analysis and being sat at a table. Being it is easy to say what would be ideal
Am sure a few ppl expected me top say he showed 10K...whadda fold
