So the guy in the CO opens and i see this guy in the BB with 19% 3bet over 110 hands all which are heavily concentrated in the SB and the BB. His resteal is 25%.
So i let him hang himself and just call hoping he'll squeeze which he does.
Now my question is do i let him bet again and again or do i raise ?
If so do i raise all in or some other amount ?
What if the board was something like Q 9 3 rainbow ? (I would prefer to just call as i feel more confortable )
What if the board is what it is and i have something like JJ ?
A lot of similar spots like this come up and i dont know if i am extracting as much value as i can so please give me your thought on this one.


SB: $11.52 (115.2 bb)
BB: $10 (100 bb)
UTG: $5 (50 bb)
MP: $11.62 (116.2 bb)
CO: $10.40 (104 bb)
Hero (BTN): $12.34 (123.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K

2 folds, CO raises to $0.30, Hero calls $0.30, SB folds, BB raises to $1.40, CO folds, Hero calls $1.10

Flop: ($3.15) 6

You did solid work inducing a squeeze and cbet from your crazy opponent. With this flop, I'd just call again. You're risking an ace falling (only ~9% chance), and you possibly gain another bet. Plus we have the king of spades.

I stick with the plan and slow play until our opponent stops betting.

Maybe you could decide by deciding how much protection you need?

That would mean KK: Q 9 3 easy call.
JJ – mostly raise.

6s5s9c – is complicated flop enough that I don’t know how to think about it. Assuming he 3bets with medium strength suited connectors too he has around 17% draws also 6.2% sets and 17% overpairs. Problem in raising is that if he is aggressive also post flop he sometimes blow you off the hand with worse. So can you really bet/call? if not call might be the answer.

That said if you call spr is low enough to go for stacks so maybe stacking of the way to go and to ensure it raising flop might be?!? the correct place to do it.

=) Like I said too complicated for me.

  • you can let him bet again or you can raise, both are fine against this player type. i like raising to take it down because from how you explained his image - he can have a lot of suited connecting combos in his range.
  • if board was Q-9-3 rainbow, you are more open to call. but i like taking the pot down early or even charging him more if you think he would call because he may have already capped your range (not including KK).
  • i would lean more towards raising with JJ around 3x. his action after may influence your play in later streets.

The info you have on villain is preflop-oriented, so I would be careful not to use that information too much postflop. For example, he could be LAG pre and then tighten up on later streets.

On that flop I have to assume you’re good, but I generally don’t like playing a hand that passively pre and post without the nuts (or more info on villain). I’m probably putting in a baby raise just to see where he’s at.

The more coordinated the board, the faster you want to get the money in. If you flop a set on a dry board, slow playing is fine.

Raise and reraise pre flop should be the optimal play here.As played 3bet pot size on the flop.

I would call or raise a little here... I think you are leading (unless he has Aces). You didn't show that you had a great hand by just calling the 0.30 raise, so Villain doesn't put you on KK. He might just bet with an AQ because he has two overcards, maybe even flush draw.

I would call the flop and hope to get a bet/raise opportunity on the turn. Without the Ks, I think I would put in a small raise here to charge draws. With JJ, I am raising this flop to try to take it down now. Too many scare cards can turn with JJ.

With Q 9 3 flop, yes, easier flat call with KK to induce bet/raise opportunity on turn. With JJ, I flat for pot control with the overcard on the board and see what the turn brings.

In all honesty though, I would have 4-bet pre, which is probably wrong against this V.

Hey guys. I havent been active a lot lately but i wanted to thank you for all your answers.
Reading it all now and again i would probably never be in this spot with JJ as i would most likely 3bet it pre. To be honest lately when i find myself in these spots i try to slowplay this type of villain especially if i have more info on him.
It turned out to be more profitable in my opinion if you do have a plan for later streets and you dont find yourself too attached to your holding.

i think more profitable would be to play 5x S&G x1$ and the other 5$ use at MTT.

Preflop - raise,
reraise.

Flop -- small bet or check to make yr opponent bluff. Or you can make a big bet to make him folds. Anyway, if he doesn't t have 78 he will not risk
If yes. you have big chances to go all in on the tern

Id raise the flop it's to wet to just flat.I do like just shoving pre though i think we get called pretty light here from an aggressive player if we shove all in vs the squeeze.

Flat if your opponent is aggressive. If you have turn stats, then if his turn agg% is high, just call. If he's not, then raise the flop.

Poker is ez. :)
