[Micro] River Bluff on draw heavy Board

[Micro] River Bluff on draw heavy Board

Hi,

getting back in the arena after Years of Hiatus, so no stats on the opponent and lots of easy mistakes... Does my Line make sense until and on the river?

PokerStars - $0.25 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 364.52 BB
SB: 165.6 BB
BB: 53.4 BB
UTG: 218.92 BB
MP: 98.2 BB
CO: 209.88 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 2 2

fold, MP raises to 3 BB, fold, Hero calls 3 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (7.4 BB, 2 players) 6 4 8
MP checks, Hero bets 6 BB, MP calls 6 BB

Turn: (19.4 BB, 2 players) A
MP checks, Hero bets 15 BB, MP calls 15 BB

River: (49.4 BB, 2 players) 5
MP checks, Hero bets 32 BB, MP calls 32 BB

Spoiler
Show

Hero shows 2 2 (One Pair, Twos)
(Pre 53%, Flop 69%, Turn 5%)
MP shows K A (One Pair, Aces)
(Pre 47%, Flop 31%, Turn 95%)
MP wins 108.28 BB

Fold pre. Maybe against a total station with stations in the blinds but we don't have to defend all low PPs on BU. They're low EV

Rest is a suicide mission

folding pre when we are 360bb deep? okay nit- terrible play post flop though. Just check it down- you are really just trying to hit a set

Calling can't be terrible with a fish in the BB, but for clarification we aren't 360bb deep.

At the most, we're 160bb deep if SB calls.

Sure- I didn't say effective stacks. I'm saying WE are literally that deep and thus are afforded more versatility

What do mean by that? you have 200-260 BB that are irrelevant to the hand.

Eff. stacks is what matters though.

If we had 500bb, we'd never call if everyone else had 10bb.

It all matters. The fact that we cover the table matters. Regardless if they all had 1bb


Thanks everyone, really appreciate the feedback.

Was really valuable to get the perspective on playing small pockets IP. Did some homework and will play them less.

Agreed postflop was poor all the way.

Thanks for the help again!
