Line check 1-3

It was a 9 handed table and only the utg2 called my raise.

Edit: Wait, what position are you? You must have opened from UTG? How can V act first?

The only reason to call the turn is to induce, but since you don't know this guy, just shove. As played, call.

(In future, please put pot sizes on each street.)

Ok thank you

I'm also confused by preflop, I'm guessing that there's a certain number of limpers in certain positions and that the OP raised to 8x over that certain number of limpers, but it would be helpful to know (for example, did +2 call closing the action or were there other limpers behind)

You only lose to JT (is this player limp-calling an 8x raise OOP with JTo? If so they are bad enough to have loads of other hands) and this turn lead/river shove can easily be Aces up or similar.

Shove turn, the pot will be 325 with 75 to call so +2 isn't folding anything and you might as well get his money now before the backdoor flush comes in (or doesn't)

I’m sorry, I don’t remember how many limpers there were. It’s hard to remember live poker details sometimes for me.

That's easy, just remember how much you raised pre, hopefuly you're raising depending on the number of limpers then?

I get all the asks on limpers and pot sizes, and that may effect previous streets, but with 200 effective, I don't see how this is anything other than a call as played. If he has JT so be it.

I'm shoving turn fwiw.

SPR is 3.5 otf and you hit a set, youre always getting it in, just a question of how to extract max value. I guess he has JT, oh well.

If SPR were lower OTF (like 100 BB deep and raise to 3BB, so spr of 16) this would be a board and hand youd overbet with. As played im inclined to bet small like 1/3rd pot otf just to extract max value from weak hands, and because its still really easy to get it in.

Obviously you're getting it all in, and obviously betting/raising every street is fine.

I'd raise smaller pre and bet flop smaller, and just get the stacks in on bigger turn and river bets.

You've managed to make turn interesting (/awkward). Betting small with a wide range can some sense given how many made hands you have on this board, but are we deep enough to b/f a bare A for this size? In any case, you can't go wrong with shoving.

Next time post pot size on each street (and in this hand it will become very clear that they dictate the play).

I'm fine with preflop.

On the flop the pot is $50 and we have $175 left, so an SPR of 3.5. With middle set our only goal should be to eventually get all the chips in and never fold. I'd PSB this flop to setup a turn shove if there was a flush draw; without the flush draw it wouldn't be horrible to size smaller and aim to get chips in over 3 streets (but our large bet is still fine, imo).

On the turn the pot is $140 and we have just $130 left. I'd mostly just shove over his donk although slowplaying to induce against aggro opponents / prevent hero folds might not be horrible (although turn adds a lot of draws so much better to shove now, imo).

I beat him into the pot on the river (we're facing a lol $75 bet into $250). Pretty much never consider folding sets at this SPR having gotten in 10%++ of stacks preflop on anything other the the most horrendous runouts.

PRE - I'm confused why we're opening to $25 on the BTN in a 1/3 game. As others said, it would be helpful to know how many limpers there were in front of us. If it was 4, okay, open to $25, but if it was 2-3, I'd probably just go $20. If it was just 1, I'd just open to the usual $15.

FLOP - Assuming there were 2-3 limpers who folded pre, we're betting $45 into ~$55-ish? Seems okay, but with such a shallow starting stack depth, I might bet smaller, hoping V check-raises with KX, KQ, JT, 88, whatever. When we take this size, we're forcing V to fold out a lot of hands that might otherwise call.

TURN - Think I'm just jamming over V's LOL-donk of 1/3 pot. If he got there with JT or slow-played something better, nice hand, good game.

RIVER - it's just a snap call.
