Blinds 120/240 ante 24
I think the starting stack is 20k chips 100bb and I lost a big stack early, my KK lose to JJ on a low board.
I have 10259 chips - still not in terrible shape though with 42bb.
I open in HJ 2bb 480 chips.
SB calls and BB calls. SB has 89.5bb 21481 chips and the BB has 80.96bb 19432 chips.
Some minor info - 6max is - not my favorite type of game. I think the format gives loose sloppy players an advantage and reduces my edge. This is my opinion only being a MTT 8max or higher player. I know a lot of people love this format. I will opt for any event that is 8max or higher over a 6max event.
But when I have space to fill - when my tables are low - less than 4, I will buyin to anything that is in my BR range.
Anyway - the SB player is one of these loose sloppy players - I have extensive notes on him - the major one being he will call 3 streets with any pair.
I have no info on the BB player - and no more than 20 hands.
Pot side preflop is 6.6bb 1584 chips.
Flop
Both blinds check - and I check behind.
Question #1 - should I be value betting this draw on the flop?
I don't know why I checked behind - in hindsight I think betting this flop with OESD and back door flush draw is a more appropriate line.
Flop pot unchanged 6.6bb 1584 chips.
What would be the best card in the entire deck for my hand to hit on the turn?
Turn
Both blinds check and I bet 3.95bb 948 chips.
Question #2 - Its been established I am quite bad at bet sizing. I'm continuing to work on this major important aspect. Is this sizing good? Of course betting on the flop would have allowed a more profitable bet here on the turn.
SB calls the bet, BB folds and the pot is now 3480, 14.5bb heading to the river.
What would be the best card in the entire deck for my hand to hit on the river?
River
SB checks and I decide to bet large here - based on my notes I have on the SB player.
I bet 12.37bb 2970 chips into the 14.5bb 3480 pot.
Question #3 - I'm now attempting to exploit my opponent by betting this big, but versus a non station opponent - what would be an appropriate bet size to get a call from a player that might have top pair or 2 pair or made the straight with something like Q/T? Half pot or so?
Final board is and we hold .
Villain tanks for all his time bank and a little into his time reserve and jams all in 85.55bb 20533 chips.
LOL I happily call with my remaining 24.32 bb 5837 chip stack.
And scoop 87.89bb 21,094 chips my way.
Question #4 - What hand do you think the villain shoved with?
