Fold pre. This is a bad call.

Bluff will get though mostly at these stakes unless villain has a flush or set because generally call-call-jam is a nutted line and the obvious flush came in. Ideally you have A to block more of his flush draws.


This isn't live ... and before it gets moved and I never see it again:

Fold pre. as WereBeer said.

I've seen players call _super_ wide at every decision point on WPTgold, so bluffing with no equity isn't as great. Also seen enough players who love to play any2 and bluff their way out that calling wide on the river might be a lot better than it looks at first glance (no idea how ignition plays).


1. Post belongs in Online NL Hold 'em Cash.

2. Find the actual Hand History file and post the text from that. (Ideally running it through a hand history converter). It's easier for everyone involved, including yourself so you don't have to record your screen and post to YouTube.

3. Fold pre. You can call this hand against 2.5x open against HJ opener HU, but the fact that it's LJ opener, that it's 3x and that there's a cold caller makes this -EV. (Even though the cold caller is pure donating and everyone sucks in MW pots, I don't think it's improving your EV* specifically with this hand specifically.)

* Because you probably aren't great at MW pots either, which brings me to my next point:

4. I would explo fold turn. Definitely not a fold in theory, but people play very straightforward in multiway pots, and B50 followed by someone clicking down 3bbs from pot OTT is generally either going to be TPTK+ or a very nutted draw (which you partially block anyway).

5. Just call OTR. This might sound like it's contradicting the above, but my point stands that you are STILL usually losing, but clicking call here gets you to showdown instantly and you only need to be good 20% of the time. (I'm not shocked if they have a worse T, I just don't think it's worth calling the turn pot-sized bet just to have to fade another card and potential bet.)

River raise is the right idea against this milk bet, but

a) Your sizing gives you bad odds for the play when they're wholly uncapped and can either have the literal nuts or a hand that's very hard to fold at these stakes, like 66 or AAhx. IOW, your size is doubling your opponent's necessary fold frequency for you to profit without doubling the number of combos that are folding

b) Your hand selection isn't ideal both because of the SDV I referenced above and because you'd rather unblock Tx because that's part of the b/f range you're targeting.


Just repost it in the online forum. Locked.
