i think what i need to learn among other things is when i decide to continue with a line like repping a flush here when i improve like pairing my ace here i should maybe slow down cause bluffs are generally not as effective when you have a halfway decent hand??? does that sound at all reasonable? is there any logic to that line of thinking??


People in micros don't like folding preflop especially for that size

Would aim for 9bb minimum in SB

MP-BTN 7.5
SBvsLP 9-12
BBvsSB 9-10
BBvsLP 11-13

You have some wiggle room within the values so you don’t have to be too rigid

I'm gonna quote what this person told you and elaborate on it a bit. When playing 100bb deep, you should 3bet larger than 9bb preflop from the small blind when multiple people are in the pot because, in your case, if 3 people have flatted already, there's already a lot of money in the pot, and if you only raise to 9bb then you give them too good of a price to continue.

So you should've 3 bet in this case to something like 14 or 15bb to deny equity for them to flop sets, which we don't want. You are representing a polar range 3 betting here


u could just call pre if u wanted with a suited Ace 4way, u should be 3betting like around 4-5x the open raise OOP without the cold callers or around 3-3.5x IP, here if i 3bet id go 12.5-14bb ish with the cold callers, your hand is way too weak to be betting the turn even though you improved, you need to think if your betting for value or bluffing, in this case i would assume your bluffing because what worse hand will call that big of a sizing on such a dicey turn? KQo with 1 spade is way too thin of a range to target. also in micros draws are the hands i would assume they snap off because they play them passively much more often than aggressively or AQ makes sense


It's a fold pre, tempting as it looks. A7s performs very poorly OOP vs any EP raiser(s). We're wide, they're narrow. So they hit better too often and we get burnt up in the EV grinder

Don't mind the cbet. x/c turn and pray
