Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6649865, member: 397965"] Preflop As you say, SBs 3-bet sizing is way to small. 4-bet from BTN (knowing his cards since they showed down) is obviously fine and standard. Calling the 4-bet is also fine, I guess, since its BTN vs. SB. Flop SB should check all his hands, and when BTN check back the flop, he should actually be a bit suspicious. Normally people C-bet their entire range on an A-high board and even more so in a 4-bet pot. So this does actually smell a bit like some sort of slowplay. Which is exactly, what it was. From BTNs perspective I am not a huge fan of the slowplay. Yes he does block top pair a lot, but there are other hands, that can call, and he can just go small. If he does not want to C-bet 100%, then top set is a nice hand to have in his check-back range. Of course their might also be some dynamics, where maybe BTN thought, SB was a spewfish and would bluff a lot on the turn. Turn SB should check again, and BTN now has to bet and start building the pot. From SBs perspecitive this is actually a somewhat tough spot, because what does he even beat now, that 4-bet preflop? Like exactly KJs or KTs, which for some odd reason checked back the flop? I can actually see a fold here, but he did pick up a gutshot, which makes it a bit better to continue. River Even though SB made a set, I am not a big fan of this donk lead. Flush- and straightdraws got there, and BTN can of course also have the better sets, as in fact he did. So I think, this is more of a check-call spot. Maybe BTN will value own himself with a hand like AQ if checked to. From BTNs perspective its fairly optimistic to put in a raise now, when straight- and flushdraws got there. So I think, I just call, and that BTN got a bit lucky to run into pretty much the only hand, that might lead the river and then also call a raise. And from SBs perspective I kind of think, he need to fold to this raise. Ranges are tight in a 4-bet pot, and its difficult to find a lot of bluffs, that play this way. Yes bet-folding is probably a little exploitable, but SB can avoid that by not leading in the first place. Results Obviously set over set is always a big cooler, but I think, SB could have played this hand better and gotten away cheaper. As others have said, he seem to be a recreational player, who just happen to have enough money to play 500NL. I also think, BTNs slowplay on the flop and then raise on a river card, that completed draws, is a bit questionable. But obviously it worked out perfect for him this time. [/QUOTE]
