Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6868806, member: 289533"] You know this is a "reggish" opponent, keep that in mind while playing against those and while you analyze your hand further for study and application. Why did you elect to open only 2x from the LJ? It couldn't be 2.5x? 3x? Why? Now do we have any notion of what types of hand villain is raising/3-betting with? Okay, opponent might have a 7% 3-bet range: we are blocking part of the combinations with aces and kings. We are not considering that villain is 3-betting a lot with 88, 99 or maybe even TT. Hands like KJ, KQ are not a certain. We are left with AQ+ both suited and off-suited. But we are blocking part of those, so okay that villain maybe 3-bets with 88, 99, TT but would it call a 4-bet with hands like 99, KJs, KQs, AQs? Now I have another question: our preflop sizing was too small, we went for 2x, a min-raise. Now our 4-bet sizing is too big, even considering that we are OOP. We went for 3x the sizing of the 3-bet and for a size like this I would consider breaking even hands like AK, sometimes AQ is calling. Sometimes even AA is calling this for trap, but villain doesn't hold many of those. It lasts KK, QQ and JJ as realistic hands, that could 3-bet and call a 4-bet here, giving realistic sizing. This flop is a little bit dry. No problem going for 1/4 or 1/3 pot in the same situation. Some KK, QQ and JJ aren't folding here to this sizing and we want that, because villain will own much more of these combos. AQ also continues. By the way, AQ won't fold to any sizing right now. Now there is chance for a back door flush and we want to stack villain on any river in the case villain is calling down here with AQ, AJ, Ax, KK, QQ and JJ that got sticky to the 4-bet pot and our sizing should be a little bit bigger in order to stack most of rivers. We could be going for 1/2 pot or 3/4 por or even full pot, if our plan is to jam any river. I think we are betting thin here. If villain raises it is hard to fold but why did we 4-bet and c-bet flop/turn? We were doing it for value right? So I guess we continue our value betting to extract of possible losing hands. I answered these questions throughout the hand analysis. [/QUOTE]
