We calling to set mine right?

I guess folding is best on flop?

I mean if you know villain doesn't barrel with air then calling is ok? But what most likely happen is if we x/c, turn he'll barrel at high frequencies. We aren't playing for stacks with such hand are we?
Or if villain has a fold button, I guess x/r flop or x/c then x/jam turn is ok? But it's risky/spewy and requires reads/image and we only drawing to 2 outer if V has an overpair.

V probably cbetting range but I don't think he does it with such sizing.
So I'd assume V's range is something like overpairs/fd type hands.
Also HJ vs UTG usually is very narrow of a 3bet range unless V is crazy aggro and/or you have a super wide opening range.


Grunch:

Not much of a read on V. What does "average reg" mean? Winning? Losing? Break even? 3B'ing at close to the correct frequency, with a reasonable range?

PRE - seems fine. With more of a read, I'd think we might have some 4B's here. We can rep all the big PP's when we open UTG, and it's not like we opened for a huge size. Not really loving his somewhat large 3B size, so I'd probably do more calling than 4B'ing.

FLOP - why's he c-betting so large?

Did you consider donking? This board has to be better for our range than for his.

I dunno, man. It seems pretty close between calling and folding. Definitely wouldn't x'r when he takes this sizing. Might make a nitty fold, but wouldn't like it.

If we've seen him do this with AK type hands, I'd be more inclined to continue, especially with the Tc in our hand.


I usually play this spot as a one and done and try to balance with traps ...which admittedly is just sets. I don't have many x/raises for this size OTF. Reasoning is people tremendously under-barrel and play Turn more face up.


So read based, it’s hard to answer
A 3bet from late position is often a wide range
I don’t play this high, but I assume this is even more true at these stakes and this deep.

An average reg to me is not a good player. I find many flaws, but I don’t know what this guy is doing wrong. If I know this guy’s style well, this could be a fold.

The big flop bet could be AK
It looks like villain wants a fold
or does he bet big with big hands?

Most likely I call the flop (which looks strong to villain) and evaluate the turn. I don’t know what villain thinks of you, but my call here looks very strong to villain.

Lot of options:
Could donk or check-raise

I’m watching villain when that turn card flips and zeroing in on his comfort level - giving him a chance to give up on the turn, which happens often.

If you’re playing hands on the internet and posting them in a live forum, it’s a very different game. When you’re playing the people more than the cards, we need reads.


This is a difficult situation, and not at automatic fold, particularly at 5/10.

Yeah I’ve just been folding flip in these spots and kind of feeling like a nit. I only have 2 outs to a bigger OP and I’m gonna get barrel off/sucked out on if I just call. Idk I know I’m folding the best hand a lot…

Also worth noting that the primary bluffs for villain should probably contain a Ten? JT/QT comes to mind

At the end of the day it goes down to ranges.

If V is aggro and has super wide 3bets. I think 4betting preflop or x/c flops is ok.

If V's range consist mainly premiums which is likely here in this spot? We only beat AK, it's fine to fold flop. Unless we know V doesn't barrel much.

Yea I know it sucks folding. But it saves alot of money than x/c flop to find out there's another barrel waiting for you.

But against aggro opponents, maybe x/c'ing multiple streets is a viable option but you have to know what you're doing and have a good read on villain.

Also this might not be relevant. But the more passive lines you take, the more aggro others get. So if they notice you open/call3b alot oop then x/f flops, they will go apeshit on you because they think it absolutely prints.

As for bluffs, KQs/JQs/Axs+/67s+. Aggro players will have lots of suited hands as bluffs.
Then the question becomes do they cbet range?
Even if they cbet range, they're never cbetting range for gigantic sizings like in hand.
