It's all fine by me. Nice turn check. What is the result? You won, or he had fullhouse? You were luck at turn card. Aces with 2 kicker hmm.. good card. Everything perfect here for me. And yeah, poker is about luck, you get it. Luckily he had i suppose flush too, with Q or K.. right?

"Hero (SB): 52.2 BB" - Why are you shortstacking?

Fold pre. You really want to play tight from the SB, A2 is not a good flatting hand in general, certainly when your flatting commits you to playing post-flop OOP, maybe BB vs SB or BB vs min-open from BU (getting great odds / closing the action / having position).

Flop is a check-call. Why donk-bet? And why so big?
The pre-flop raiser has range advantage on AT7tt because he is more likely to have AA and AK than you. When OOP with range-disadvantage you should check your entire range, even as the PFR!
In this case you can't bet or check-raise for value because if he's calling he often has better Ax. It's also not a good bluff because he's never folding a better hand. You also don't need protection because you have the flush-draw.
Therefore, you should check-call the flop.

Turn, I think going for the check-raise is not a good idea, because if he called with a pair he will usually check-back for pot-control after the 3rd diamond came.
You are basically only stacking a weaker flush but you block most of those combos.

Your stack size, donk-bet flop and sizing all show lack of unserstanding of basic strategy. Being self aware is good, but I also suggest reading some Poker theory, or watching some videos, and dropping to 2NL until you have the basics down.

Due to stack depth pre is fine, but can 3b this pre.

Flop you should be checking, not a lead spot.

Id chk/call flop, but would chk/raise with like QJdd or J9dd/etc.

Fold pre. your in sb you want to have a tight calling range especially vs utg opens. I suggest you read up on sb strategy.

Check call the flop. You may fold out his low equity hands like gutshots which he may decide to cbet on the flop. He'll bet other hands worse than yours as well. If we take his value betting/semibluffing range something like AA,TT,77,Axs+,AJo +89s, JdQd+ vs Ad2d we have about %54 equity. If you add JJ+ we have %60.


Villain however has nut advantage otf which has been explained so taking a x/c line is more +ev than x/r, also your oop. You shouldn't lead either. You don't want to be raised because you will be behind more often than not and it will cost you more $ to realize your equity therefore lowering your ev. And if you are behind you still have roughly %40 vs villains range so unless villains over betting you can profitably call flop and turn.

Ott you turn your hand face up.You donk flop, then x/r the 3d ott. You are screaming I have a flush...and a strong one. Why not follow your donk bet up with a turn bet? Top pair no kicker is good enough to value bet but the nuts isn't? What if he x's back you and you don't end up stacking him. And if he's willing to bet the turn he's willing to at least call a bet from you but maybe not a check raise. You potentially fold out his top pairs and maybe even two pairs that will give you another street of value otr. O Just realized you we're only 52BB eff but still.

As for the river assume you call the turn. I just jam because you we're only 52BB eff to begin so don't take the chance he checks back top pair. He pretty much has to call your jam given the price he's getting.


And can you explain what your thought process was behind check raising the turn?

It's all fine by me. Nice turn check. What is the result? You won, or he had fullhouse? You were luck at turn card. Aces with 2 kicker hmm.. good card. Everything perfect here for me. And yeah, poker is about luck, you get it. Luckily he had i suppose flush too, with Q or K.. right?

We we're all fish once. Perhaps you should post a hand so a professional that plays 5knl can troll you.

Hi guys ty for your comments ...
I play with 50BBs almost always in order to no lost much :D ...
I agree in this flop is better check call but I played the hand over agro becuase when I call pre I am searching this kind of flop and If the turn is not a diamond I will push with my semubluff... It is a bad idea?

Its bad logic to play small stacked to avoid losing less. You will increase your variance playing this over aggro push fold strayegy. Just play deep stacked at smaller stakes instead

If your implying that when you miss your ace otf and the turn is not a diamond then you shove as a semi bluff. Then it depends on the board,villains range and ultimately how much fold equity you think you have.
