Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6665597, member: 397965"] Preflop As others have said, your 3-bet is to small. You want to choose a sizing, which puts a lot of his range in a tough spot and gives you fold equity, when you are bluffing. The purpose of a 3-bet is not just to massage the pot larger. Even if he call you with a hand like A3 or K9, he is not making a mathematical mistake, when you give him better than 3:1. Flop Standard spot to C-bet for value. Turn Another Baluga-Whale spot. This one I think is much closer than the other one, you posted. His raise is not all-in, and its also a 3-bet pot, which makes the SPR a bit more shallow. You also block one of the straights, that just got there (Q9), and both straights were only gutshots making it less likely, they called on the flop. Finally you unblock top pair, and the J is not a spade, so he can have hands like AJ, KJ or QJ of spades, which many players get confused with, because they now have a flushdraw as well as top pair. With an overpair you also have 8 outs against two pair, so you are not drawing completely dead, if he has a hand like JT, that just got there. So all in all I do think, its ok to continue here. The question then is call or jam, and since a call puts more than half the effective stack in the middle, I kind of lean towards a jam. I dont think anyone at 2NL can raise top pair for value on the turn and then fold to a jam. And if he has some kind of draw, he is probably not putting in more chips on the river, unless he gets there, so by just calling you are basically giving him a free card to draw out on you. The reason to just call would be, that you intent to fold to a river jam. But in this situation you will be getting better than 4:1 on a river jam, and I dont think, we can completely rule out, that he might have a worse hand like AJ or KJ and jam the river for value. So if you call here, you kind of have to call on at least a brick river. And then I think, its better overall to just get it in now. It would not be crazy to just fold either, especially against a more nitty opponent, if you had any kind of read or HUD-data. River River is a complete brick, and for that reason it would be weird for him to check with two pair or better after raising the turn. So I think, you have the best hand a lot, and with only 79c behind and a pot of 2,25$ I would jam for value and hope to get called by mainly top pair. If he has some sort of busted draw like A9 of spades, he is not calling any bet, so against that part of his range your size dont matter. [/QUOTE]
