Live - top set on river
Live - top set on river

Live - top set on river

2/2 live, no bring in, 9 handed, timed rake

Villain opens super wide for 5, tighter for 10, doesn't 3bet much. Calls a bit much preflop.

Postflop, he's able to find folds on river, but calls too much on flops/turns with weak range.
Hero played a few a hands vs villain.

1 of them was flop 99k in a limped multiway pot all check. Turn Q he pots for 20 in sb, we call in bb. River 2 He checks we bet 45, h x/r for 100 or whatever we snap folded 9Q.

Effective 660

Preflop
some limpers
V in co opens to 10
Hero flats in btn w/AA23
some callers

6way pot 60
Flop A85
Checks to hero
Hero bets 50
V calls

HU pot 160
Turn K
V checks
Hero bets 150
V calls

Pot 460
River 7
V checks with 350 Behind(I'd expect him to donkship all straights here)

Hero???
We betting right? sizing?

I think another 150 targeting a hand like AK.


Not a great multi way hand, why not pot it from the button pf?

3betting doesn't isolate here. I've learned it the hard way. 3betting leads to multiway pots in this game.
3betting trash AA sucks as well.
Trash AA is best set mining or waiting until someone has a stack shallow enough for me to get most of it in preflop.

I rather 3bet ds qjt9/KKQJ type hands than this trash.


Is AA23r on the button trashier than A6ssA54r in the sb?

She got most of the money in preflop vs most of them.
Her hand was better than ours.

deepstacks was spr 1:1 postflop for HU sidepot.

Here we are we deepstacks playing 500+bb. We 3bet to say 35, like 5 callers. We are miserable in a bloated pot multiway playing deepstacks, unless we hit a set on a non straight or flush board otherwise we hate life every board.

Even if it's headsup playing deepstacks with aaxx is trash. We can't take any heat.

Story would be different say some guy in utg opens for 5, aggro reg 3bets to 20 a gazillion callers then we flat the 3b, then a maniac 4bets in blinds to 150 or whatever then like 2~3 callers we jam for 1200. lol

Trashy AA is only good if we get most of the money in preflop.


I'm not big on 3betting trashy AA here unless you have some fold equity, which you rarely do.

In game we tank a bit, almost snapped check back then decided to bet 275, we wanted max value. Was scared of getting x/r and wanted value.

V tank fold. He said he folded top2(think he meant flop top2), saying how K on turn was bad for him. But he didn't say anything about the straight card on river.

Maybe betting smaller was better.
He seems to be able to make river folds even with hands like trips(paired board). He sounded so logical with his plays yet he's a bit station on pre/flop/turn.
But we might have aggro image in game. We had a few bluffs that got caught in game.

We left shortly after.

Do we prefer this small sizing even vs solid regs? I am genuinely curious, as I don't play live.

I could get behind a shove to try and polarize but I worry we get a lot of hero folds since we are viewed as a nit.

Don't think he is calling $150 on turn with A8. Probably said K was bad because he had AK and it cost him that extra $150 on the turn. Where is the K river when you need it 😉.
