limp/caller pre, I'm just saying given he checked to you villain probably perceives his range as containing plenty of Ax hands.

when he bets flop, so he isn't going to bet as often as you think imo, more likely to check back flop and raise your turn stab/bet when checked to

Erm, except 1/2 players don't raise vs. bets as bluffs even close to as often as they just make stabs. I'm not saying he's not capable of it EVER, but I don't think it's a line he takes here that often. Also, limp/caller checks his entire range on this flop, so I don't think that's a reason for other villain to not bet.

We gave him credit for being a good hand reader, but not for being able to ever raise?

It doesn't give him a reason not to bet but it means bets less of his air than he would HU

I'm usually pretty reluctant to stack off with a flush on a paired board. It just never seems to work out for me.

Lol yeah what? 10nl?

First hand though, when he 3bets turn it looks like a good spot for a fold. Like I think he only has 3 or 4 worse flush combos (KJ, JT, T9, and 98?) and I'd be discounting those anyway since he def doesn't donk flop 100% with them if ever.

Second hand, river looks like another pretty awesome spot to fold imo but I prob spaz-click call.

pre is horrible, hate post since our value range of A6/A8/88/66 just got waaaay thinner on that turn (especially if he has an A in his hand, which he probably does, range is pretty AJ+ heavy. turn+river sizing combo makes no sense to me

O yes I agree pre is like wtf am I even in this hand for? lmfao

And his sizing on flop dugggs do you ever think its fishy? I mean its kinda small for the wet boared texture isn't it?

tbh I think I min raised here on flop because I started the hand with like I think 75ish bb, so I didn't have enough chips behind to not commit fully to my bluff if that makes sense? I know it sounds like an excuse, but I am not trying to look for an excuse here. I honestly think it was because of my effective stack, and getting information on his strength of his hand, but then again now that I think about it I'd be happy with not min raising and maybe raising bigger here and if I get repoped I should be happy getting it in on these flops with flush draws.. So Again I dunno wtf I am doing I guess in this spot. Maybe This is good for me to wake the f up! and take better lines in these spots.

WoW posting hands really does make you see your f ups eh! :/

Are you profitable?

Gotta be honest here: even on a soft site, if you're limp/calling preflop UTG without some very specific reason relating to your overall strategy, then you need to take a big step back and work on your preflop game.

As for his sizing looking "fishy on a wet board," idk that I necessarily agree with that. His reasoning might be that your range is weak and so he wants to keep 8x and 6x in. Or, he might just bet 1/2 pot regardless of board texture in general. It's not like his stats are shaping up to be that good.

How come? 22/19 with 11% 3bet doesnt seem bad to me at all. His 3bet is a tad on the big side, but if he's positionally aware and doing it in the right spots it's fine.

Can't really give too much thought to the hand since its just played so unorthodox. Probs just folding pre since BTN/SB 3bet a ton. But yeah, dont limp/call utg lol. Just makes every decision harder. Like if we just opened, we cbet flop and its ez game.
