Hello, I have two hands Sunday milion 109$, against the same guy, rather nit, 50 hands, vpip 18%, 0% 3 bet, so in this situastions I guess it's folds, but generally, what does it min, when opponents rising this type of boards.

Disclaimer: I do not play anywhere near $109 buy in sizing so keep that in mind with my opinions below

Hand 1: jumping to the flop I like betting here but am betting for a larger amount than you did. I want folds here as turns and river will usually be overcards that I will not really be sure of where I am at. Betting as small as you did you could get floated by pairs that otherwise would fold to a 40-45% bet with two overcards on the board (If they have 66-99 for example) so I like betting here to induce folds and not such a small sizing that could be interpreted as :an entire range" c bet sizing. It is a fold once they raise.

Hand 2: Hand 2 is different as the board is paired. I think we can check the flop here a lot since we could have checked the flop with a K here as some players do and others bet but the point is villain isnt going to necessarily think checking is weak here. If you are going to bet I like your sizing this time as we would be betting smaller with Kx and we would not be targeting folds. After we bet and get raised, how often is villain raising here with Kx risking a fold on a rainbow board with the only OESD being QJ? I would not think they would raise or at least not anywhere near all the time so I think this is a raise where its not an automatic fold. Depending on what we think about villain here we can call and see what they do on turn, or even raise bluff here. Folding, I think, is fine but its just not an auto fold to me like it is in hand 1 when we get raised since villains better hands that would actually raise in this spot are more limited in number.

Both of them is pretty dry boards, but I can really lean on why you mention to go bigger on hand1 and why you mention on especially check the 2nd occassion or just a smaller raise. So basically everything you said.


The two-time hit from the exact same positions and against you let me think that opp may like to sell this position this way. I mean including some semi-bluffs like second pairs with great kicker or top pair weak kicker to your smaller bets and eliminates your bluffs? Or is it some personal observation how you played at this table, and using it? Well its definitely interesting that both times you picked up 5's and both time same thing happened. I see A10 Q10 J10 type of hands on the second one, the first was closer to the nuts, but if opp like to open against us, hopefully next time you will(or was) able to turn into this into your favour. Maybe with checks or 4-bets to do, depending on which is more suitable at that point.

both check fold.
if he is reallly wide banana player you can check call once on KTT, but you will have problems playing it on later streets.
Hope this helps and Good Luck!
