Message: [QUOTE="jfkingchan, post: 6850242, member: 101565"] Live $2/$5 game. Villain is a tough reg on the hero's left. Hero just picked off his bluff with a weak top pair 30 minutes ago when Villain raised pf and bet 3 all streets. Hero (BB): ~$2800 Villain(Straddle): ~$4000 Villain straddled to $10 Folded to button who limped in. Hero in BB raised to $45 with AsKh. Villain and Button called. 3 ways to the flop Flop Kd 2s 4d. Hero c bet $90, Villain called. Turn 8s, double flush board. Hero continued with a $200 bet and Villian called as well. River off suit 5. Both flush draw missed. Normally Hero would take a check call line, but Hero decided to bet out $450, kind of a value/blockish bet to target weaker Kings, as well as non believing mid pairs. Also didn't want to check and underrepresent the strength of the hand and face an overbet by the opponent. Villain tanked for 1 minute and shoved. Hero had around 2k left. ????? Obviously not getting the best odds to call off with one pair. However, there weren't a lot of hands that the Villain would take this line with, especially on the river. Ad3d or maybe 6d7d(less likely) were probably the most logical hands, calling in position with a combo draw and hoping to hit and stake the hero with such deep stacks. Not entirely sure if a set of 4s or even a set of 2s would take this line either. On the other hand, Hero definitely has the range advantage here, being the preflop aggressor oop, with all the Aces, AKs, and set of Kings at this spot. Being able to shove overpot on the river in position, facing a lot of aggression from the pf raiser, seem quite strong to me. Although on the other hand there arent a lot of value hands that Villain could have either. For bluffs, I guess small suited Ace or 3d5d make sense. I believe the Villain would likely 3bet maybe A10, AJ and AQ from the straddle preflop. Not sure if our history played a part in this hand too, although I opt against stacking off so many bbs on a single pair at the end and folded. Any thoughts and kind insights would be much appreciated! [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20231208_091722_Poker Odds Calculator.jpg"]349032[/ATTACH] Villain and button both called. Flop [/QUOTE]
