We 3-bet bluff with J9o but get caught and flop second pair—now what?
Blinds $1-$2, game is $2-$100 spread-limit (max you can raise is $100 over the previous bet). I cover everyone.
HAND: $4 straddle is on. I have Jh9s in BB. UTG ($200)raises to $12 and Button ($200) calls. I don’t believe much in physical tells but trusted this one enough to think UTG was weak and I 3-bet to $45. Straddle folds, UTG indeed folds quickly, but the Buttin ruins my fun by calling. ****!
FLOP: AdJd5c (pot: $100, heads-up).
We:
A) check
B) bet small
C) bet big ?
Villain got all the money in way ahead against a spewy fish and you’re saying he played terrible?
the only possible reasons you're posting this hand is 1. for attention and 2. to brag are you posting this hand?
there's nothing to learn - it's a total ****ing abortion from beginning to end and you should know that by now. if you don't then you're incapable of learning.
Just read the reveal.
Jesus, I couldn't maintain my sanity playing in this game structure.
V's line seems terrible to me. He could have 3B pre. He could have 4B pre and jammed flop. He should have jammed over your flop bet.
You played shenanigans and won, Davo.
Now cut the $h1t and just play poker. No one likes shenanigans.

Villain's play is totally standard for 1/2. Most would not 3! or 4! with AQ and would not raise the 3-bettor with AQ on an ace high board. Just passive call down. Not really terrible in this situation though.
Also, without strong reads, 4-betting AQ in a 1/2 spread limit game would be just awful. A lot of people's 3-bet range is QQ+/AK , KK+, or just AA.

We're only starting $200 deep. Flatting UTG's $12 raise with AQs is borderline. I think 3B or fold would be better. I wouldn't give UTG's opening range too much respect at these stakes. AQs is good enough to 3B from the BTN.
Calling off a $45 3B from the BB is pretty bad. We'll have $155 behind, and the pot will be $100. He should just jam or fold at that point.
He flopped TP2K, with about 1.5 SPR. He's never folding, so he should just jam flop. By not jamming flop, he sets up a situation on the turn where neither opponent can fold, getting 4:1 to call off a jam. He's basically allowing his opponent to realize all his equity.
