Hello,
heres the Hand:
https://www.boomplayer.com/32776264_5C736B1585
It had a good Outcome and i made the correct decision here but after rethinking my plays here, i feel like my lines are a bit weird.
How would you have played this hand and would you also call the shove? (very small bounty)
regards Schrubbler
I'll go play-by-play here
Pre-Flop
Standard
Flop
This is where things get interesting.
This flop isn't the best texture for c-betting to a small blind call/check as it hits his range far better than ours. Although, there are really only 6 combos that are reasonable (33/44), but anything is reasonably with donk's, including 83o.
We should be c-betting here about 25% of the time or less. It's hard to find any fault with c-betting in position, but we definitely need to be doing it 1:3 or less.
Turn
Ok, so we chose c-bet, and the top card pairs, additionally, we do not have a diamond (important). Villain here really should not have a large amount of eights, if he did, we probably would have faced a donk-bet or a flop-raise - imagine if he had T8, he's not going to want to see J-A hit the turn.
If we did not c-bet flop, this is check, just trying to showdown
As played, this should be a second barrel with plans to shutdown on the river
Ok, well.... we get donked into on the turn...interesting. There isn't too much to say here, and there's not much we can do. We can get sticky here - I guess, but there's really no upside. This is a crying fold - and he may be
bluffing you a bit too, but who cares - let him play this badly - fold.
As played, the call probably isn't horrible, but, I think fold is superior
River
Ok, what? Why are we betting?
Reasons to bet:
1. Value
2.
bluff
3. Deny equity share
We're not bluffing, and denial of equity isn't in play here. Are we really going for value? From what? Do we get called by K3?
This should be a check back as played.
Well.... Dear Baby Jesus..... I guess we do get paid by K3 - what do I know?
