What line do you take?

I open CO with QdJc and only get called by the button. He is loose. He cold calls a lot and does 3 bet a decent amount. He can be agro with draws.

9cTs6s...I bet and he raises. What line do you take from here?

Call. If turn goes check/check and bricks out probably bet the river to fold out K-high straight draws and potentially A high flush draws.


FWIW, I usually three bet barrel here depending on turn card etc

Do people fold 89/J9/T7 type hands on this texture enough for this to work?

Check flop...

Barring any reads on the player, I think people check and fold the flop often enough here that I'm betting anything here.

Any particular reason you want to check here? Are you balancing by also checking other hands, or would you check everything?


Reads were given, this is a laggy type player who's likely to punish you for blindly barreling unfavorable board textures.

That's a lot to take from "can be agro with draws". What is the plan for turn cards that don't help us?


Check raise


Eh, never mind me, I thought the villain was the BB. Not sure what I'd do in this spot, it's awfully rare.

Is the thought here that this is a texture that favors a BTN coldcalling range more than a CO opening range and that we should have at least some hands we’re checking here? I certainly think it’s intriguing, particularly against a bad LAG.
