Blinds10/20 - Table of 7 current active players - 8 players total.
Figures and approximate values. The table commissions, the amounts deducted in the special hands, and the special prizes are not taken into account.
The casino has special rules such as maximum all in of 3k after a random number of hands, etc. These specifications are not included in this description.
Hero receives from BB's position: Kd-8d. Hero stack: approximately $ 7500
In this hand I face the player located in the BTN position. He has a stack of approximately $ 10,000.
This player is a regular at the table. I have seen him in other rounds with different types of hands, in general he plays the ranges according to the positions. In this case I like Kd-8d to play against BTN, since it is a hand that blocks an upper pocket like K-K and also a middle one like 8-8. It also interferes with BTN's open range at 9-8; 8-7. And also in hands as A-6 and A-5. Overall it has good gameplay against a wide range. And it was probably also time to defend this position a bit, since I considered that this frequency was a little low, in preflop from EP.
As for the CO player, I consider that he was quite passive. It has a stack of approximately $ 2000 (it is the shortest stack on the table). I have not seen him any call 3-bet while being OOP. In general you could say that it has a preflop defense around 20% IP.
Really live these frequencies don't matter much, because the volume played is quite low. But if we can have a possible intuition, that the closest move that V1: CO can make after our call / 3bet, is fold.
Sequence
Preflop
From UTG to HJ folds, CO opens at $ 40. BTN 3-bet $ 112, SB fold. Hero from BB call, CO fold.
Calling, we obviously expected fold equity in CO and fortunately we were right.
Pot of approximately $ 274 (2 players)
Flop:
Qd 9d 6c
Hero check. Villain cbet at $ 74. Hero tanks a few seconds and I call.
It was a bet of around 27% of the pot. BTN was able to do this with a line like J-T with blocker. In that case our range of calls could be made up of middle hands, which must be protected. For example: 7-7; 8-8; A-9. Eventually some Qx + FD.
The villain could also bet standard for protection, with medium scale hands like T-T and now our calling range could be a line like: AK; K-J; Q-J; + BFD + FD.
Maybe villain is looking for fold equity with wide open hands like 9x, but after our BTN call he knows he doesn't block J-T. Therefore hero could call now with A-6; A-8; + BFD + FD.
Estimated pot: $ 422
Turn: Qd 9d 6c 7c
Villain bets $ 233. Hero tank about 20 seconds and then 3bet at $ 666. BTN calls. BTN movement has all the form of a value bet. I put it in a J-J line with flush blocker + QX without flush + Q-T in its lowest span. In these cases, the hero call range could be made up of hands such as 9X (with the possibility of conversion on the river); 8-8. And in our 3bet / turn line: Ad-xd; 6-6; 7-7.
Right now my hand is blocking a flush draw combo. But now on the board new suitable combinations appear, which could stay in the rank of the villain.
I choose to 3-bet to balance my bluff range given my BB position on the table. The attack is intended to neutralize hands, which are likely to seek to defend themselves in the river if they decide to call now. Right now, I represent the maximum of my range, so if the villain had pushed me on the turn, I would have a clearer decision to fold, because I have the second nut of my flush draw combo and now the villain would be blocking me all my bluffs and semi bluffs combos.
Boat approximate 1.7k
River:
Qd 6c 9d 7c 5d
Hero tank like 8 seconds and then I check.
At this point he needed that villain retain the entire structure of his range. On the turn, my raise was looking a fold equity from dominated value hands. Maybe they would continue to call those hands they could improve on, like some combo draws. But that would be just a small percentage, compared to all the valuable hands the villain could fold here. So if I was leading now, this meant isolating myself with that small percentage of combos representing the strongest part of the V rank.
The villain bets 1k donk. At this point it is good not to block the set of lines, because now the villain could convert those values into semi-bluffs connected to this texture. Also the flush line of pikes was not completed, so by definition there have to be some more bluffs combos in rank V. Considering this possibility, I chose the option to exploit all bluffs in the BTN range. I raise at 2.5k. I chose this size because the villain might see it as a weakness and he thought he would try to pull me out of the boat.
BTN 3-bet all in with the rest of his chips, the shove was approximately 8.2k. The pot amounted to 13.4k. I had to put 4.2k (go all in) to stay in hand. (3: 1). At the time I thought that a hand like Ad-Xd couldn't call 3bet IP in the turn at the risk of hero completing a straight flush line. I thought maximum 40 seconds and then I made the call. I knew I was behind mainly 4 combos suits Ad-Td and Ad-Jd (oddly played on the turn) and Ad-6d (6d was part of my 3-bet range on the turn) and the same consideration for Ad -7d.
I would like to know your opinion about this hand in general. What do you think is the range of the villain on the river? After a few days and receiving some opinions I will publish what happened, regarding which was the hand that BTN showed on the river. See you soon and thank you all very much.
