Villain plays 14/9/4 AF over 157 hands. 2% 3bet pre.
I am playing 38/24/2 on this table, 21 hands.


888 Poker - $0.20 NL - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

Hero (UTG): $22.24
MP: $21.25
CO: $7.37
BTN: $7.77
SB: $10.00
BB: $17.17

SB posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.20

Pre Flop: ($0.30) Hero has A:diamond: A:spade:

Hero raises to $0.60, MP calls $0.60, fold, fold, fold, fold

Flop: ($1.50, 2 players) 3:spade: 3:diamond: 9:diamond:
Hero bets $1.12, MP raises to $3.64, Hero raises to $6.77, MP raises to $20.65, Hero ??

I kept thinking of what hands he could be doing this with and I could only come up with QQ or JJ, maybe TT.

IF he flopped a full boat or quads why would he be raising this flop when I am so likely to doable barrel almost any turn vs someone like him. KK QQ JJ I am thinking he raises pre.

His line is pretty weird? What do you do?

Also, my raise on the flop is too small. I clicked (actually tried to but missed) on a button that makes it half pot and I ended up min raising.

Call. 99 is your only concern.

Get stacks in somehow, not folding on any runout so I think flatting the flop raise is best. If he happens to show up with 99/33 here just take a note and laugh at him for repping 4 combos.

I agree with expecting his hand to be TT, JJ, QQ
Makes no sense if he has 33, 99 or 39 for him to make the bet.

But it also can be AA or A3 I think... I lean towards the A3

Still - I would have a terrible time folding - but then again - I tend to lose in cash games :(

I can hardly wait to see what were the cards in his hand.

I'd have to agree. Really 33/99 are the only hands that make sense that have you beat. It's a small raise so maybe A3 assuming he's semi-loose. The small raise also lets hands like 9T or some other 9 with a decent to good kicker. I could definitely see someone who's a bit loose calling A9 and hitting top 2 top kicker and try to force overcards like KJ out.

14/9 has zero 3x hands (except 33).

Again - I am new and learning - and definitely cash games is not my strength, but I think a semi-lose player - 6 player table - may call preflop (also depends on how he perceives the HERO) the .60 raise with Ax.. (which also can be suited). Not a smart call, but I think it is possible - or based on the way the betting went - seems to me a more likely hand then a 99 or a 33 - in my opinion.

14/9 is not semi loose. That means he voluntarily puts $$s in the pot 14% of the time. A 14% range looks like this: 22+,A9s+,ATo+,JTs+,KJo+ BUT here his range is likely much tighter since he's in MP and calling a raise from the player UTG. So basically he never even has 9x here. This is 99/33/TT-QQ and MAYBE KdQd if he plays his draws aggressively.

Yeah villain has 0 3x in his range other than 33 and that's 1 combo and it's unlikely he plays it like this. We can also discount the times he'd play 99 this way. He probably views you as a tard and is valueowning himself with an overpair.

I have no idea why he didn't 3bet KK. I did actually think of folding on flop, glad I didn't.

This hand proves why folding is burning money. His range is wider than 99/33.
