Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6712063, member: 289533"] Preflop okay. OTF we could be raising immediately for we own so many hands and bluffs from SB. Calling is also fine for the same reason: we open too much from SB and miss most of flops when we are stealing. It’s a close decision between calling and raising. I would go for raising here to build the pot. OTT we are certainly raising to build the pot as soon as possible. If villain folds okay, but as long villain is betting (observing that villain began the hand broken stacked) we have a strong motive to raise and build the pot ASAP. OTR we raised but we could’ve raise even more and go for total Exploitative Gambling: villain isn’t scared about a 4-liner flush of hearts and have bet narrowly the size of the pot: when we are facing players that we know to be recreational ones there’s no problem to play total unbalanced and do nonsense things, like raise jamming this river. Most of hands that aren’t bound with a hearts on its range would be checking behind to realize equity. The showdown has demonstrated that villain can be in fact a recreational player: defending K4o in this spot: this is the type of hand that can be played in tournaments, i.e, villain should’ve folded preflop. I know that some professionals will say “that’s okay to defend K4o when SB x BB”, but they are professionals and we are just students and regulars. We are not that good to dive in such a deep meta-thinking and as long as we are normal/regulars players, we are simply folding here. If we put ourselves a bit more on BB’s shoes, we could be 3-betting K4s versus SB’s steal. (If we have HUD data specially). [/QUOTE]
