3-bet Pot with OESD - Tough turn/river decision

3-bet Pot with OESD - Tough turn/river decision

5/5

~$700 effective

BB - Very straightforward reg, plays passive. I've played about 10 sessions with him and haven't noted anything - basically a ghost.

Hero(MP) T 9 opens to $20, BB - 3bets to $80, Hero calls

Flop($190) J J 8

x x

Turn($190) K

x Hero checks

River($190) 2

x, Hero bets $200

My thought process: His range is full of strong hands, and he’s capable of checking all of them. So basically, he’s not capped until the river. But since I checked twice, he might now wake up with AA or AK OTR.
Now I think he’s QQ-TT heavy, and I decide there’s a good chance I can get him to fold.

I like it, especially with the extra info you received by his river check.


I’m betting this flop about half pot after he checks

I don’t see what you bet on this river that doesn’t at least bet the turn. TT-QQ shouldn’t be folding here based on your action

I think the place to bluff is on the turn. I'm looking you up on river with a lot of the hands I 3bet with, and V is a "passive" player 3betting from the BB, so he probably has QQ+, maybe TT.

I was undecided about betting the turn, especially since the K hits both players' ranges. Although fold equity may be higher on the turn if he doesn't have a K, we can't assume that a turn check means he's automatically weak, when he could be super scared of the J (even if holding a K) or planning to checkraise.

At least by the river it seems pretty clear that he's likely capped at one pair.
