T7s double bored bomb pot

T7s double bored bomb pot

1/3 NLHE 10$ double board bomb pot

Close to our first hand at the table (550$), very small sample with MP, medium (~50 hours live) with BTN, lots of hours with SB.

H in UTG sees T 7 with 550$, everyone covers us.

MP - white woman clearly knows nothing about poker. donks premiums. check calls light. face up. betting range is premium.

BTN - white kid station. tight pre. betting range is thick value or better. mostly face up with the occasional deviation, ex: slam dunk bluff spot when checked to with a 12+ out draw.

SB - Asian turbo station thats studying the game and playing all the time. Improving slowly or not at all. Very sticky post. Hero calling at near 80% frequency on rivers. Only hands I lose to this guy are the ones I bluff.

----- 8 ways

Flop 80 -
T 4 3
T 8 5

Checks to MP who bets 15, BTN calls, SB calls, H x/calls OOP. 4-ways 2nd to act.

Turn 140 -
T 4 3 3
T 8 5 6

SB x, H x, MP bets 30, BTN calls, SB calls, H check shoves 525 total...

I guess it's ok if you get it headsup we have good odds to chop it up.
But......if they all call. This is an atrocious punt.
Yes I'm talking about being results oriented wise.

Any normal person will start thinking wtf you have that becomes nutted on both board. I guess you're trying to rep 3Tcc/43cc. It's fine if they have a fold btn.
But...Hands like A3cc will snap. Hands like boats on top board will snap.
If they are whales, Hands like 79 might call for a chop. Hands like overpairs/AT might call for a chop. 56 might or might not call. I'd assume most of them have no f****** clue in double board hence they'd call alot lighter than what I've listed. lol

So imagine all of them call.....We might be drawing close to dead on both......

And, if they all fold, I'd say well played!!!


Call the turn.


I would fold the flop. Pair of tens with weak kicker on both boards is nothing special. The number of combinations which are ahead of you are too many to count. The turn is definitely a fold.


Been accused of blind aggression, but I can’t compete with you. It’s so likely someone has a better ten, but you sure put max pressure on them.

This is what’s crazy about low stakes and why we beat the rake. What started as a 15 call turns into a monstrous pot.

I can’t think of any better hands that fold and it seems like there are a lot of better hands.

Working on it, but I’m guilty too at times
All you’re doing is folding out the hands you already have beat and getting called by better hands.

Have you ever tried PLO?
Seems like a good fit for you.


Seen this in a similar double-board HH you’ve posted, appears to be a consistent leak in your game. Blasting money MW with a middling strength hand on both boards is a recipe for disaster. A solid strategy here would be to either have one board locked down or good equity on both boards when blasting away. Here you are toast vs AA-JJ, and bad shape vs plethora of better Tx. When the V you describe with multiple lines in the description as being value-heavy for value, bets 2 times MW honestly assess how you are faring if they call your jam - HINT it is not pretty.

May come across as harsh, but seeing someone repeat the same mistake repeatedly is painful. Regardless of the result in this hand, try to hold yourself accountable in future dbl/board bomb pots and stop making the same mistake over and over.


IMO the flop and turn are easy calls to the small bets. Yes, you are in trouble against JJ+ and decent Ts, but there is no evidence anyone has those. On the turn, you have a good draw, so you may have a stronger hand on the river. I don't see fold at all, but the jam is horrendous.


Is this a bluff? Or a value bet?

I get that the other players don't seem very strong, but your hand is basically dead against every other TX and it's somewhat easy to imagine one of the other players deciding you are only playing one board and flicking it in with JT or something.

It might seem like it's hard for the opponents to have a T given that three of them are accounted for, but when preflop ranges are 100% of hands, I think it's actually somewhat likely given the action. And, of course, the MP can always just have an overpair.

I would call flop and call turn FWIW.


I've played a lot of SBBP in NLHE, and think DBBP are terrible because two cards aren't enough to compete on both boards very often ... so you end up chopping or trying to bluff people out a lot (shared top pair, when you have it, or overpairs to both boards are a low frequency exception).

I actually don't mind raising the flop or turn, because again in NLHE it's so difficult for anyone to have better than top pair and the bets are tiny. Saying that shoving all 525 for 2.5x pot seems insane with this hand, it's possible it's better than it looks at first glance because you are maximizing fold equity (see above point about garbage NLHE DBBP games).

Obviously if someone does wake up with T9+/JJ+ and wasn't raising for whatever reason, you are crushed. Also if someone stationed the flop with a J3 you are "slightly" behind (you have 1 out and they have 2-3) and they're never folding now.

There is some chance people will decide you mostly have to have 3x and so hero call with an 8, so that might make it better too. ¯\_(ツ😉_/¯.


Banana, I was right there with you till you shoved. I like call, call.

I'm only a little worried about a better T because the odds are that the 4th T is in the dealer's hand. If B1 had not paired, I could have been OK with the shove. But now you've very likely lost B1 unless you spike the last T.

So all your hope of glory is resting on B2. My rule is that I don't want to be AI if all I can hope for is for a chop and I have anything less than a semi nutted hand.

You **might** be ahead on B2 now, but maybe not. You're behind JJ+, 88, 55, 66, and any 2P. You might be ahead and still lose to a spade flush or a better club flush. Your OESD is weak. It might be a chop or you might catch the str8 but lose to a flush.

call the turn and evaluate river.

Clearly a value-bluff.


I don't think you can scoop if you get called, unless you somehow improve to the best hand on the river.

That would seem to require someone to call with a better T, and you spike a 3-outer on a river 7, that also doesn't complete any draws (65, GSSD's, or hearts on top, and spade draws, gut shots, or J9 on bottom). Or maybe you spike a 9 to make a straight on bottom, and don't chop there, and improve to the best hand or a chop on top if another 3 comes off.

It's a fairly narrow path to total victory if they don't all fold on the turn.

Trying to figure out the ways hero can chop. Maybe you get called by 88 and win on top. Maybe 44/3x wins on top and you win on bottom.

You're kinda praying no one has the case T, and that you're not up against more than one opponent with a very strong hand on either board. That seems like a pretty optimistic parlay.

ETA - this play would make more sense if this was DBPLO, and you had a reasonable expectation of opponents folding strong hands or good draws on either board when they're not nutted on either and / or have nothing on one or the other.


Call the turn. However, if you hit one of your draws on the river, you will have a pretty strong hand and can maybe shove or bet large then. Also, if you hit on the river, you can usually call if someone else bets big.

The action looks weak, but someone could have KT or something and be afraid of a better T or an overpair, but won't fold to your shove.


Result:

We shove, MP pauses for a second then yells *CALL* across the entire casino, BTN and SB each take 30 seconds hating life and fold. BTN says 5X , SB says A-high FD (not sure if or or (he's wide enough OTF to get here with all three)).

T 4 3 3 J
T 8 5 6 7

MP shows 34o...


Actually, you were 86% on one board and 5% on the other. Even though it was a bad beat of sorts, you deserved to get stacked.

The way it ran out, you would have had to fold when this villain would have bet large on the river.

Clearly a value-bluff.

Lol, no one is shoving in a DBBP as a bluff. Maybe a semibluff or sorts.


You were 94.5% on the bottom and 23.4% on the top ... HU on the flop. I still don't like the turn size, but still fine with raising flop or turn.

Even if you raise flop I doubt V is finding a fold, and might even put all the money in then (which is great for you, if you don't fold).

Just like it's difficult to get a good flop on two boards, with two cards, it's also difficult to get good runouts on both boards. Obviously unlucky to get bad runouts on both.

BP of all kinds are higher variance, such is life.
