It depends on his agressiveness, but if you have nothing on him, I would reraise and see what happens.

That board is simply too scary to let him take another card.

An ATS stat would help, but without that…


I like to 3-bet this SB vs BU. His range is usually going to be weaker so we can get some easy folds. If he calls, we still have most of the better hands. If he 4-bets we have an easy fold. If we go to a flop, it is easier to play KQo with the betting lead, instead of being in a weird spot. Without a 3-bet, You have to think “what flops do I donk? When do I c/fold? When do I c/call or c/raise?"


Yucky flop. I don't think a c-raise is good. He has all of the AJ and TT combos along with the rest of the KK and QQ combos, and we have a pretty weak range on this board. I would think a c-raise from us is mostly JTxx, probably JsTx. We will inflate the pot, and a lot of his draws will stick around.


I probably c/call and hope for a K or a Q. We are at a pretty big range disadvantage, donking doesn't fold out any Ax, and a c-raise is bad.

Very wet flop, this situation is one of the toughest out of position.
I'm leaning towards a check raise for value here. And then just hope for a good runout here.

6 handed with Villain's stats, we can expect ther to be betting about 1/3 of the time. That's a huge range, and Hero is OOP on a pretty wet board with a hand that has only 4 outs to improve. A like TenJack's thought about 3-betting the flop, but it is a little agro for me.

I would try and end it now with a check raise. Make it 15BB to go on the flop, folding to a large re-raise.

If called there are a bunch of bad cards for Hero; any spade, Ace or T, but there are many good cards. Pretty much any non-broadway, non-spade makes a 2/3s pot bet in order.

If called on the turn, I'd check call a reasonable bet, folding to a shove.
