x flop, as played call turn. You do not have fe vs fish with anything, rather just realize equity. If we hit a Q or an A we can play for his 25bb.
Seconding Sprout. Villain's range is pretty wide when opening Blind v Blind. And AQo doesn't play very well OOP post-flop. Jammy jam all day, my friend.
With CO still to act behind us who has limped in, and looks pretty stationy to me, I'm not convinced I want to be jamming here.
Line looks pretty good to me.
I know our sample size is small, but I don't think it should be ignored that the sb has only raised 3% of hands. In 60 hands he has raised twice prior to this.
This is not a wide fishy limp range we are playing against.
As such calls to shove here I think would be a poor move.
The 3bet is fine, but this guy almost certainly folds none of his raising range to a 3bet. He also has a range here comprising of big Broadway, TT and JJ. Have to think he would jam qq, kk, AA. But this type of player probably not ak.
Flop smashes his range. Yes it hits our range hard to, but villain is not thinking about our range. He is thinking about the pair(S) he has made, or the straight draw to Broadway he has.
As such, check this flop. Villain continues with 100% of his range on this flop. Best case for us is he has AJ, and he won't be folding that here anyway.
As played the turn is kind of annoying because by my reckoning he has about 10bb left. From there it's just a maths problem. You know you get the other 5bb if we hit, you can fold if we miss.
So we are essentially getting 10-1 on our money.
The 4 clean straight outs isn't quite enough, but combined with the times an ace is good here also I think we are probably getting the right price.
Having said all this.... We are playing micros here, and this level of calculation really shouldn't be necessary to beat these guys.
Check the flop, villain will turn his hand face up for you immediately, checking his draws and betting his made hands.
We beat this type of villain by making a better hand than them and taking them to value town..... Don't bluff the fish.
Those are some insane VPIP/PFR gaps, even for micro stakes.
No, don't raise the turn. That's generally a fish, I have the nuts now, and not sure what to do. Occasionally it's weak value or to get a cheap river draw, but usually it's the nuts or close to it w/ this action and stack size.
