So the short story is that V here is rather known to me. He is playing super wide range of hands, and almost always c-bets, regardless of what the flop is, even when called, he continues barreling turn and river. Sometimes it went to showdown and he showed some bluffs like T6s that missed, and sometimes it was a TP no kicker or similar.

I had several hands against him where I was IP, and folded mediocre hands to his aggression, literally setting it all up for this spot.

I decided to let him hang himself, knowing how the hand would play out.

Would anyone do anything differently in my spot? Any re-raise on the flop/turn or even preflop?

3bet pre, get it all in on the turn.

Flatting pre this deep sets you up for a lot of LP flats which makes your life miserable. As played if he's a maniac yeah calling is probably fine.

Thank U 4 Posting.

Your position and stack size holding and tournament type suggest a reraise preflop.
We want to get more chips from a player highly likely to call maybe even reraise. At the same time charging others to go fishing vs us.This also helps us define our villains hand when they could have any 2 cards preflop villain dependent of course. In tournaments we do not have to max value one pair hands vs wide ranges by the river.

Stopped replayer before final action
So the difficulty on the river is we have to guess now and that sucks.

If we get it in on the turn and he sucks out so be it but now if he puts us all in would he really be expecting folds?
Does he even think about your two cards?

Everyone sees an A when it comes few people miss 4 to a straight. Is this player the one who does not care? Who thinks you fold KQ on the river?


Might their have been a better spot to trap for stacks with a good flop 2 pair or big draw for all the chips?


Hope this helps

Well played in my opinion. Especially if you knew he was going to barrel regardless. Bad news river. Otherwise you were getting max value from an over agressive player. That's exactly how I play my pocket aces. Well played. Did he hit an Aceon the river? Thanks for the post.

Good Luck To All:cool:

Hi Boz! When you play vs such type of players and you know he has wide cb & aggro barreling postflop , you shoulda 3bet him preflop not only monstrous hands but also some thin value hands depending on his or range/In fact you can use your strong hand to get money from him. If your 3bet range is not balanced and everybody know that you have monster wshen you do 3bet then you shoulds fix it/GL mate

but if I 3-bet him, I lose a lot of value on later streets, if he even calls OOP pre flop?
My thinking was that he will continue barreling regardless of the board, and that I will just call him all streets.

He ended up having J5o, meaning he had hit his straight on the river. This same thing happened recently against another player, also in the CC Freeroll

everyone folds to me on the BU, I bet with ATo, SB and BB call. flop is A74, sb checks, BB (also a ridiculously bad player, also a maniac) bets over a pot, I just flat, turn 3, bet-call, river 9, again bet call and my opponent shows 43o.

I still believe that what I am doing is very very good, although in the last 2 occasions they somehow won.
