Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 5909586, member: 397965"] Preflop A solver or AI program would probably have KQo as a call of the 3-bet. But in the micros I think, you will find, that a lot of people basically dont have any bluffs in their range, when they 3-bet from BB. Not even against a BTN open. So I actually think, it would be ok to simply fold and let him have this one. Against an aggressive regular at higher stakes I would defend though. Flop and turn Definitely not folding top pair to these small bet sizes. There could be an argument for raising turn, if you think, his sizing is very indicative of a draw. Mostly I would just call though and see, what happen on the river. River You improved to top two, which is of course good, because now you beat AA and AK. What is not so good is, that frontdoor flushdraw has come in as well as AJ making a straight, and now he size up considerably and overbet jam. This really does smell like, he was trying to set a cheap price with a draw, and now he wants to get paid. You made, what I think is a key statement here, that "you feel you need more calls than just flushes". This indicate, that you are thinking in ranges and trying to be perfectly balanced in all spots, and in the micros that is a huge mistake. Nobody, and I mean literally nobody, at 2NL, are going to ever figure out, how often you are folding to a river jam in a 3-bet pot, when all the major draws completed. So even if you fold 100% of your range on the river, you are never going to get exploited for it. So just play on a hand to hand basis. What are the pot odds, and how often do you think, you are good? Even with that approach this is a rough spot to be honest. Its clear, that he is representing a flush and maybe AJ. But perhaps there could also be some "entitlement jam" in there with AA or AK. He kind of hates the river card and dont know, what to do, so he just ships it in essentially turning his hand into a value bluff. I could go either way here based on, what mood I was in, and my reads on the opponent. Without any info on the opponent I do mostly lean towards a fold here, even though its really tough to fold, when you just improved. But I think, as this hand played out and especially with his sizing, two major draws completing are more important than the fact, you now beat AA and AK. [/QUOTE]
