DBBP Good Flop Set | Trips, Bad Turn, 3.3 SPR

Those were horrible turn cards for you…

I have to confess I don’t understand two small bets from the button. I’m imagining a world where there’s 900 in the pot and you’re seeing the river with 25 more in your stack than you have now.

As played, I guess you have to call, as a fish most likely has KJss or A4, but even fish get dealt AA95r or KJss84r once in a while.

🤮

Pot flop so we can ship turn. As played have to call but don’t like it.

I bet small on the flop because there weren't any flush draws on either board. I'd bet small with a wide range on hands on the flop.

But yeah, I should've just made this hand easy to play—bet 225 or more on the flop and ship turn.

As played, is betting the turn correct? Is it a mistake to check back?

As played, 550 pot 875 effective ip hu v fish, woat (literally the worst card in the deck for TT) turn on top, ugly ugly turn on bottom, I would check back. Use your position & control pot size. If river top is a non-pairing card esp a spade, and river bottom A-J, you can probably fold if he pots?

AP, I think—after sleeping on it—his most likely hand is AKQJ with a royal draw.

Pot flop, check back turn, evaluate river.

I’m betting turn, we are on both boards.

they're bad turns but it's still a bet call it off

There may not be flush draws, but there are 2 boards. Pot the flop, and fine if you take it on the flop.

Not sure about flop size, I might bet big or small here.

Turn:

I really don't like this size, without reads.

Seems unlikely that KJ4/KJJ just calls flop, but maybe possible trying to draw people in to chop up.

Maybe bare AA plays this way?

Otherwise I'd expect you are significantly in front on one board and probably have a couple less outs than V on the other board. Maybe sometimes fish could have random AQJ that he thinks is good enough to play this way?

Ps. I'm a little worried for you that you seem to always have $1k and everyone always covers. 😉

I don't have a safe box at the casino and the player's bank is a big hassle. So I just bring 5k with me. I start buying in for 1–1.5k so I can last 4–5 hours. I'll start topping up to the maximum at the end of the session if the game is good.

Yesterday I lost three 1k bullets in the first hour and was all-in for my fourth bullet after another hour (thankfully won!). 5k doesn't last long at 5/10/20—it's not uncommon to be in for the full 5k just buying in 1–1.5k at a time.

Why not get a pouch and keep a bunch of pumpkins or purples? I usually bring 20k chips and around 10k cash, no way I’m running out of money if the game is good.

I have a pouch and carry pumpkins to and from the casino. At some point I'll bump it up from 5k to 7k. Maybe I'm just a nit, but you're not worried about going to and from the casino with 20–50k every day?

I don't like the size on the flop because there are many turns you don't like. So you are happy to take the pot now.

Not at all but I would in other areas.

Sizing is really bad on flop and turn. I would pot both. Don't mind taking it on the flop, but that won't happen that much.

Yeah I never know what is good sizing in bomb pots. If it was a single board, I would bet small on a J44 rainbow flop and large (but not full pot) in position on AT8. So my thinking was bet the average of those two bets—half pot on the flop (actual pot size is $252 after $48 time collection).

But again, I should've just made it easy with my stack—pot flop, jam turn.

I've had friends get robbed after leaving Hawaiian Gardens and Horseshoe Hammond. I've heard stories about pros on the Las Vegas Strip too (Doyle Brunson, Greg Raymer, David Sklansky). So I just try to be careful.
