PAHWM: .25/.50 NLHE TPTK on Wet Board (1 Viewer)

[Legend5555]

Same session and villain as the QQ hand posted yesterday. This hand actually came before the QQ hand.

No real reads other than villain in this hand is a thinking player. 3 bets a good amount pre, and with good sizing. Plays fairly well post from what i've seen. Nothing glaringly bad. Though his preflop raise sizes are not always uniform, but I haven't been around long enough to see if there is any rhyme or reason to the sizing yet. He tends to min raise more often than the other sizings though.

Call or raise? If raise, what size?

 

[Rhodeman77]

Is this on WC and does Villain’s name rhyme with Dicko?

 

[Eriks]

Mostly 3-bet imo. I’d make it $4.5-5

This ^^^

 

[Rhodeman77]

I’m raising to $5.

 

[Frogzilla]

Mostly 3! to $4, but ok with a call

No. Not on WC.

 

[boltonguy]

What is the standard open at this table? $1 seems small.
I'm 3! to $4 but am ok with a call here too.

 

[Kain8]

If we 3-bet to $5 and get called, we can pot flops to commit ourselves on non-scary turns.

Let's go!

Each player has had their own standard open size. This VILLAIN varied, but he mostly did min raises.

Check and call based on bet size

 

[Eriks]

I’m betting $6. Targeting QJ/KQ/AJ/JT/JJ/FDs. Will mostly flat a raise depending on size and check/eval turn.

 

[boltonguy]

Being raised here would be gross - how could you continue?

The min-raise open sure sounds like him.

Plenty of draws that can raise, no?

 

[detroitdad]

I'm betting 6 to 7 bucks

 

[boltonguy]

Yeah but this board is too wet for me to call a $18 raise OOP with TPTK. That's why I check/call here.

I don’t mind that line sometimes either, but I think I’m mainly betting

 

[Rhodeman77]

I don’t see Hero gettin more than 2 bets (at best) from a worse hand. I like a delayed C bet here. Let’s hope for a clean turn card before betting.

Hero doesn’t block any of the flush and straight draws. Let’s play some pot control and see what the turn brings. Big drawing hands are much more willing to gamble with 2 cards to come than with only 1.

 

[cfowl23]

Check/call. Pot control and play the turn.

Bet 15 bucks

 

[boltonguy]

As played, check/call

 

[Kain8]

That's one of the best turn cards we could ask for besides making Aces up or trips. $15 seems appropriate as @detroitdad suggests.

 

[boltonguy]

I’d rather see the three of clubs. Paired boards are dangerous ...

 

[cfowl23]

His small preflop raise is still a large range and still hits this board most of the time. Still proceed with caution. Though I think 75% is quite large. I think a smaller bet 33% to 50% would be better sizing. With check/calling to reduce risk.

 

[Rhodeman77]

I’d go with check call here. Lots of pair plus straight draws just made trips. K10, J10, even A10 is now ahead. If Villain is behind still he may decide to start betting a worse hand with Hero checking twice now.

Hero bet flop, so he's not checking twice.
