Set Of Jacks; Won The Min!

A different kind of hand analysis hear, i know i should have won the guys enter stack but did not. Any tips on how to proceed in these situations?

I seem to fear loosing my customer, and think to myself maybe he only have a weak ace so i don't want to value bet too much, how should i go about changing this?

Weird that my HUD said he was about 20/7/1 but in PT2 it says 37/15/1.2
Any thoughts on the discrepancy?

4-bet preflop. You don't wanna be OOP for the rest of the hand. You also have some room to fold if he decides to shove.

Lead flop, you want a big pot so bloat that ****er. C/R his small bet as well on the flop.

The c/min-raise on the turn is burning money. You didn't even raise it to a full pot bet.

I really hate the way you played this hand. I don't like any decision in the entire hand.

The villain was very tight which is why i did not want to re-raise pre flop.

But then knowing he was tight i did not value bet much in fear of losing my customer in case my read was wrong.

Any body got any suggestions about this?

I've noticed in a lot of hands that you've been worried about losing your customer. But with that ace on the board, there are so many hands that are going to call your bets. And if he's weak/tight and isn't going to be raising you/betting small then you need to be setting the bet sizes.

Also, if you think your opponent has like KK/QQ, then check raising the turn is a terrible play. KK/QQ is going to check behind every time, and you're going to lose more value.

Stop worrying about losing your customer, and start focusing on getting value from the customers you do have.

Lead the flop, villain underbets afraid to lose you and the pot is stunted for the rest of the hand. Depends on if/when/what he raises after that.

You have 2 options:

1. Lead flop

2. Don't min-raise turn. Seriously, pop it to enough so you can then stack the river. The goal in cash games is to win big pots, and you have a big hand. Instead of going to $16, just triple it to $24, then the pot's 70 and you have 65 behind. I'd maybe go to like $28 or so here, and then the pot would be 78 with stacks of $61.

Actually, just saw you're deep. You have a huge hand deepstacked and there's a decent chance your opponent has a big hand as well. Obviously if he has KK/QQ here you don't win much, but slowplaying only wins you an extra $5 or so. So lead out flop, and take a line where you can get the money in without a huge overbet. If you just get calls, then just pot the flop, turn, and river. You'll still be getting a good amount of money into the pot. As stated above, when you have a huge hand the goal is to build a huge pot. You shouldn't be worried too much about losing customers, since the extra $100 or so you gain from the times you stack an opponent more than make up for the times you win an extra $5 because you slowplayed.

the king killed the other guy im surprised he didnt reraise you all the way very nice hand
and very well played

he played preflop standardly. 4betting and folding out everything we want in the hand and only building a pot against a range that crushes us is really silly and bad

Preflop: Reraise the min-raiser. He's probably a huge fish, so get more money in.

Flop: I like a check-raise. The math is pretty simple: if he doesn't have an Ace, you're never gonna win a big pot. However, if he has an Ace, he's not gonna fold it. A fish like your villain will stack off very light.

Turn: Since you just called on the flop, now is the time to bloat the pot. Since he bet only 1/3 pot, he probably doesn't have much. Either way, you need to raise big because you want to win a big pot. Keep in mind that a delayed check-raise is scarier than a check-raise on the flop.

River: I guess the betsizing is fine after what little action has happened in the hand so far. The fact that he flat-calls AK just goes to show how terrible he is.
You should have played your hand waaaaaaay more aggressively. You're supposed to win his stack in a hand like that.
