$1/3/6 - TT facing 2x pot on river

$1/3/6 - TT facing 2x pot on river

Villain hasn’t really done anything crazy. Earlier he 4b me in a bu vs sb and i folded A4s in sb and he flashed an A. So i think he’s competent.

blinds 1/3 and straddle to 6
folds to villain in MP and he raises to $20, folds to me in co and 3b to $60 with TT, folds to villain he calls

pot $130ish
flop is J72r
x,x - really should bet small here with whole range i think? decided to x tho

turn Jx, puts a fd
villian tanks for about 30 seconds and x, and at this point maybe i should bet for protection but i x again

river 5x
villian bets 2x pot for $260…hero?

Our hand is so underrepped after checking twice, there’s no way I’m folding even to this size. This also looks very bluff heavy since I don’t expect him to size this big with Jx+.


You didn't mention effective stacks.

If he 4bets light, I'm not sure I'll 3bet w/TT, if I do, I'd do it with the intention of 5bet jamming especially if we 3bet light all the time.

Either put in a bet on flop or turn. I probably bet the flop. If not, I'd bet the turn like 100% of the time for value.

Once he 2x pot the river, I think it's a snap fold.
Yea he doesn't rep much, but at this time, our hand is faced up(weak marginal showdown hand).
But I don't think people live care much about our range. Most ppl only care about their own two cards, bet huge when they have it.
Unless you have reads that he can overbet with bluffs, I don't think we ever calling this live.
Most overbets live are nutted hands.
If I had to guess what Villain had, maybe 55 or JJ.


30 seconds and then check is a pretty strong weakness tell for a thinking player. id call the river. you unblock a lot of whiffed Ax hands.


sorry EFFECTIVE STACK IS $550


Easy call, i wouldnt even be surprised if he does this with 99 or 88 thinking you’ll hero him off with AK


Think I'd prefer a flat and just play a flop in position, especially non-short, especially with no significant dead money, especially hating life if he reraises. If it ends up multiway, whatever, can almost kinda ~setmine / play postflop.

Awkward SPR of ~4 and not surprisingly an overcard has flopped. I would definitely cbet to protect against overs, prolly 1/3 PSB, and then lean to attempting to get to showdown for cheap after that. Ditto thinking for turn as played.

River is tricky because on the one hand we've massively underrepped... but on the other hand no one does this with A high or 2x PSBs as bluffs or thin value with worse. The more I peg him as ABC, the more I fold. The more I peg him as capable of putting in huge money with air, the more I hero call.

Weird one. This is a table-read. Really tough to know what to do, but in game I probably call -- maybe. Definitely a tough one. So few people over-bet bluff here, but he might be "good" enough to do it, if that makes sense. He also might be "good" enough to think you will call w/ TT and he can beat it.

I bet flop, though 😉

Yeah, I think this is most likely or he could be making a move himself with AK. If he has a jack so be it.


As the 3bettor, definitely make a small bet on the flop to maybe 50.

Why call 260 now if you didn’t want to bet 50 on the flop?

OP says V hasn’t done anything crazy and seems competent. I am skeptical. Why would V bet 2x pot on the river? Why not a psb? Because 2x folds out twice as many hands? It’s a huge mistake if V is bluffing.

Or is the 2x bet because V has Jx and is extracting maximum value because hero is underrepped? Tank check on the turn raises suspicion of trapping. Without a good read, I fold.


RESULTS - i called and he had a bluff, k high tho i suspect KQ.

Felt he most likely bets Jx before, and value of 55 and maybe QQ bets smaller. And as someone mentioned i didn’t block all the Ax KQ combos. Didn’t take into account he could be betting 88-99 for value but that’s a good point as well.

I think i like villain bet but i don’t think he needs to go that big to fold out my AK AQ? Pot or maybe slight over bet is fine.
