Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 5998804, member: 305911"] 70 hands is just 70 hands but it is enough to still pay attention to. 21/16/6.1 are pretty reg stats with 6.1 not being a maniacal 3 bet %. I like the raise obviously from the SB by you although I think you need to go bigger or you will be playing a lot of hands out of position at best or be in these spots at worst. Also remember that this is a 6 handed table where people should be looser (even if it is zoom) where everyone folded to us in the SB so there should be better cards of the deck hitting SB and BB than normally would be the case. I dont love calling the 3 bet here as I think you are going against a dominating hand too often and will be out of position. Villain seems stats wise ( I know 70 hands) like they are good and with other factors like high probability of no Ax hands before us that I think I just fold here and move. Even if we have the better hand it could be hard to play this one out of position. As played on the flop I dont check raise as you did. I get why you did it with your reasoning of in zoom so many fold to check raises and thats good thinking but if you know that quirk and then get called that means the call has to mean more to you than normal. On top of that if you are going to check raise there it needs to be bigger as you already pointed out. Check raising though in a 3 bet pot with a 100 BB effective stack really should keep us in the hand to the end which with our holding I am not loving. I would much prefer to call the flop and keep any hands in they have that are worse. Yes I would hate A and K turns but I at least have one overcard protected. As played on the turn I think you have to end it here or keep going with the intention of going all the way. You got yourself into this by check raising in a 3 bet pot which unless very deep will semi commit you at the least. You also have some doubt since your check raise was so small that was villain calling due to price or calling based on strength? No way to know that right now. My thinking on this hand is to just check here cut my losses. I would fully expect a bet by villain and unless it is super super small then I am out and would make a mental note for future hands not to make this same mistake. Just to call the flop or check raise larger if you are going that route. As played on the river all you have now is a bluff catcher so I like the check and as expected villain puts it in. The K pairing is a great card for us so given that and the price I would make the call but I still dont like how we got here and put ourselves in this spot. [/QUOTE]
