1/2/3 Oaks Card Club CA - Flop Decision

1/2/3 Oaks Card Club CA - Flop Decision

1/2/3

8 handed
UTG Straddle to 6
UTG+1 Bets 20
Hero (UTG+2) raises to 70 with Black Kings (~250 stack)
UTG+3 (V) cold calls and covers hero by a little bit
Folds back round, heads up to the flop

Reads:
- Villain 30ish male, been at table 30mins, nothing out of the ordinary or out of line
- Hero, MAWG, has been at table 45mins, playing TAG, this is my first 3 bet.

Flop is 6h 7d 9h (162ish after rake, may be off 1 or 2 dollars)

Check, Bet Small (60), or Shove (180)?

you have a little over pot, just shove and let him think about it with TT-QQ. unless you have a supernit image i doubt those hands are folding. i certainly couldnt fold TT or QQ and i probably would talk myself into calling with JJ thinking you could easily have AK.


EZ flop shove


Just jam, it's only about a psb. Cold calling 3bets are med to big PP's a lot.


We jammin, hope you like jammin too


Push, but you could bet small on the drier flop. You are almost always ahead here.


Shove.

This was my thinking too. I'm going to break the forum rules and post results, because 6 out of 6 of you said what I did. I shoved, and I'm not sure there needs more debate. Villain hummed tanked for a minute and then called. Turn As, River blank. Hero shows KK, Villain mucks (I suspect TT, JJ, or QQ).

It was my first time playing for a year, and I think I was just second guessing myself, especially since I see a move to betting small on wet flops, and checking more OOP. Just need to keep to my regular low stakes game.


Bet 1/3 pot on flop, 1/2 pot on turn, jam river. Call if he jams at any point, or jam if he raises less than all in.

Why jam flop, and let V get away from worse PP's and AK?

There's nothing to worry about on this board when V calls our 3B next to act. Our K's don't need much protection. If V has AA, we're already beat. Might as well milk his worse PP's and AK for full value over three streets.


Shove, collect your winnings, pick up, and play in the 2-3-5 game. The Oaks 1-2-3 is a fricking rake trap.
