€20 NLHE 6-max: Bottom set,4 to a straight,board pairs. Eff:218bbs

iPoker - €0.20 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 94.2 BB
UTG: 167.4 BB
Hero (MP): 356.4 BB
CO: 207.2 BB
BTN: 218.65 BB
SB: 98 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has :5c4: :5s4:

fold, Hero raises to 2.5 BB, fold, BTN calls 2.5 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (6.5 BB, 2 players) :5h4: :7c4: :8d4:
Hero checks, BTN bets 5 BB, Hero calls 5 BB


Turn: (16.5 BB, 2 players) :6h4:
Hero checks, BTN bets 15 BB, Hero calls 15 BB

River: (46.5 BB, 2 players) 7s
Hero checks, BTN bets 46 BB, Hero raises to 333.9 BB, BTN calls 150.15 BB





I'm not great at deep stack play so I want to post some hands where eff stacks are 200bb+.

His line seemed very consistent with 109/ 99 maybe 44. Really the only hands he should be value betting on the turn imo. I could have x/c 99 and 44 otf. So taking a free card with hands such as sets and two pairs just seems like the most +ev line?


When he pots idk what to. He's got 150bb behind after he makes his 46bb pot sized river bet so any raise I make is going to be a committing one. I think I like a call in this spot for various reasons.
I also think I should've donk bet the river. And a folded to a raise/jam?

Interested in hearing others opinions.

Confusing hand. When hero check the flop he is obviously thinking villain will start agro it up that means hero gives him mostly air and draws but draws would have called anyways the CB, when hero raises river AI the plan changes giving him a hand to call it down 200 deep.

Villain must be exceptionally bad to call with anything else than 9T(let say generously 50%), 77,88,66 -> 8 combos for value, 7 combos value owned. So as played river should be a call, imo obviously.

Given the original plan was to let him bluff, I think checking river is in line with that idea.

Interesting hand. Do you have any stats or informations about villain ?

I'm not a great fan of how you played flop and turn. You have a set on a board that suits villains calling range on the button really well. Playing this deep on the button villain can play with so many speculative hands. He can have hands like 75s, 85s, 87s, 98s, 76s or 9Ts. Why are you just calling his flop bet when you decide to check ?
I think checking on the flop only makes since if villain is super aggro and will bet multiple streets with air or weak pairs or if you check with the intention to check-raise.
I think it's totally fine to trap with sets every now and then but I don't think this is a good board to trap.

On the river I personally think raising is better than just calling because he has more straight combinations than full houses in his range. And after you just check called on two streets it is a bit harder to put you on a full house.
If villain is really tight I don't mind just calling the river though. If villain folds all of his 98s or 99 hands on the river to your jam, raising is not very profitable.

I would put villain on this range on the river :
98s ; 99 ; 9Ts ; 88 ; 66 ; 77 ; 87s ; 76s, 75s, 97s

When he calls with all of these hands you will win 60 % of the time. So it really depends on how much you think he will call you with just a nine high straight.

I was trying to get too tricky I guess. I don't usually play sets this way especially on boards like this but I believe you should occasionally play a set this way even on a dangerous board. Other wise every time the board pairs you will be capped. There we're also a lot of turns that didn't scare me any 2,3,A,K,J,Q,5,6,7. I also have a redraw to any straight draws that complete ott and I do think if he had 9x he would've bet river even if the board paired probably calls a donk as well, giving me the implied odds. The raise otr is horrible.

And I agree with you I missed value in the long run not raising flop.

PT4 won't input the stats automatically for ipoker. Villain: 848 hands VPIP 27 PFR 19 3B 8, cold call 2bet preflop on the button 39.

If Protential says so, the line was good. But I don't really get how it's possible.
