Message: [QUOTE="gustav197poker, post: 6275518, member: 393841"] If you want to play w/ 58bb then your hand is closer to a preflop fold. I know it sounds bad but as your SPR margin decreases the choices for an opening range become much stricter. The initial size is possibly the most acceptable for this sequence. The rest of the actions together make up an unnecessary polarization for this texture. You are blocking bluff hands that your villain might have at 3-bet range (A5s and in much less F: 56s). This situation leaves V with better hands on the turn and your call there with PO 2.2:1. That is to say an insufficient ratio for your odds. The fact of not knowing your rival should be a key factor to act with more prudence here. If you suspect that you are at an aggressive table, then the board somehow helps the villain more than it helps you. Keep in mind that many hands that tried to bluff preflop will now try to come out stronger like: QJ; QK; QA. Greetings. [/QUOTE]
