T9s 3bet Pot

Hi,

Flop, he's got range advantage and bets 1/3 pot which is fine to value.
Turn, you could have stabbed with your draw.
River, check's the only way since if you bet and get called you're far behind imo.

So in this spot I just fold facing SB 3Bet except if I've got solid reads on vilain.

Hit them with turn small into jam or geo 2 imo- your hand doesn’t have much equity anyways and it’s the only chance you get in making them fold marginal SDV.

Bet turn.

I would like to consider raising on flop
if not then definitely betting on the turn
bluffing the river is good

Either or. Geo 2 = geometric 2 which is 2 equal bet sizes on turn and river. Roughly about b60-70 here.

Thanks I check turn because I was worried about a check push for example, but is true that this is not a nut FD or a combo draw ( in that case maybe a check is best OTT?). As played I bet 75% River

You don't want to raise the flop against a competent opponent here and risk getting blown off your flush draw. If the flop was A37 or similar, then you'd have a more reasonable range to raise.

Actually if we assume villain is range betting flop, which most people do even though theoretically they shouldn't and we allow for a small enough raise size IP (25-30%) we should raise this spot quite a lot. In practice it's a play that works even better, as no one really knows how they should react. It also allows us to realize equity without facing another bet OTT, and assuming river goes xx we can probably overbluff multiple runouts.

It's true we want to protect our equity in spots like these, however when we call flop we gotta have something, so we need to find some bluffs with FDs OTT. The pattern that you see is the lower the flushdraw, the more often it bets (as it gets a lot of better hands to fold, while also unblocking folds, or hands that call turn then fold river). T9 is somewhere in the middle, in theory at least the EV of betting and checking should be equal. In practice, I think people do misplay these spots (overfold, underprotect x range OOP etc.) so betting might overperform.

So the best here is to bet for example small turn and push River, or bet 75% turn and push River?

The raise OTF is good but I dont really apply in this type of boards, but I understand that we can Make folds of better hands or like u said, I raise small OTF to check back turn and have a "free card" and then can Bluff River with more EV

Hmmm whichever work, I don't have a huge preference.

Probably almost always 1/3ish small size on the turn and then you can jam a lot of rivers.

I wouldn’t raise the flop since this looks like a board people are going to give up on later, and they’re going to have a super hard time calling down.
