PokerStars - $0.10 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (UTG+1): $11.79
MP: $8.54 (VPIP: 16.67, PFR: 9.52, 3Bet Preflop: 10.00, hands: 43)
CO: $8.05 (VPIP: 28.81, PFR: 6.78, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 60)
BTN: $11.76 (VPIP: 16.79, PFR: 12.65, 3Bet Preflop: 3.73, Hands: 414)
SB: $11.36 (VPIP: 37.14, PFR: 16.57, 3Bet Preflop: 2.90, Hands: 177)
BB: $5.68
UTG: $12.91 (VPIP: 35.14, PFR: 2.70, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 38)

SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has K A

fold, Hero raises to $0.30, fold, CO raises to $1.05, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.75

Flop: ($2.25, 2 players) 5 6 A
Hero bets $1.00, CO raises to $3.07, Hero calls $2.07

Turn: ($8.39, 2 players) J
Hero bets $7.67 and is all-in, CO calls $3.93 and is all-in

Villain has seemed pretty passive so far, this is the first time he's 3-bet. I donked the flop because I didn't want him checking behind any one-card flush draws. Did I play it okay?

Thanks

Don't know what to say, actually for me this board very scary. I'd played this hand very passive c/c/c, you try defend your ace on this draw-board, - i think it's loose call, if you do action like this, you must know some more info about your opponent.

Yeah, standard. 3-bet pot on mono board with tptk (A)... you're staking off here w/ these stack sizes. I'd just get it in on the flop honestly.

I dont like donking this board in a 3bet pot.

Check raising much more enjoyable

Aces- I think the PFR is going to be checking back this flop very often, donking it will get value from AQ,AJ, QQw/one club (if it doesn't bet), JJ w/one club.

Eggerdy- I'd make the flop donk a little bigger maybe like $1.50. Your goal is to discourage draws from continuing or at the least make it costly to do so. Also, like John said, you're trying to GII before a club shows so the bigger the better (within reason).

Shouldnt we consider this guy slightly on the passive side???

So when he bets we better be worried??

For sure he's passive, but what beats us on the flop in his 6% 3b. Not much, right? Almost no flushes are there since the Ac is on the board. So what does that leave? Most likely AK or AQ, but maybe pocket pairs with clubs too. Against his range we are doing fine. What do you think he has that he would play this way, Aces?

I actually don't like it either, even though it's so unlikely you're beat. I think you're either up against top set for a tremendous cooler, or AQ, or AK. Possibly KK with the king of clubs, since so much money is already in that he has to call.

So AA/KcKx/AK/AQ are the hands I see played this way.

It doesn't seem like he's the kind of player to reraise you preflop with KQs, so I agree that flushes are impossible.

By gut instinct, I honestly think the best case scenario is that you're up against the same hand, but there's a very big chance he's freerolling you with AsKc or AhKc. But I think I play this the same way, since letting another club roll off on the river is completely disastrous.

I mean as played fold flop

Looks like a set or 2 pair... someone who is protecting or already got a flush


The only hand u beat is kk with a club

But we block some combos.

Did he get lucky with jj?? Or qq with club

But those moves r done by maniacs n aggro guys ...

He must have a flush or set thats the passive guy betting.... prolly flush tho

I agree that, as played, the flop donk bet should be bigger.

I also agree that, as he's passive, him raising the flop is very strong. But I also think that even passive players tend to spaz out in 3-bet pots sometimes. I still think it's possible they might play KxKc or QxQc this way. Maybe that's wishful thinking though:eek:

Thanks for the replies.

Typically, this is overpair with one clubs , villain 3-bet early position i think KK,QQ,JJ aces blocked board an me

flop strong bet broke >> stackoff villain has an incomplete stack
