Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6889099, member: 397965"] Preflop Assuming you always open to 2,5BB, at least from this seat, this is of course very standard. Flop Before deciding on our action here, its time to first look at the situation and make a plan for the hand as described in the CC 30 day course, which I will link to below. The first part of the plan is to answer the question "how many bets", and here my answer would be 3 bets. You have the nut overpair, and there are certainly worse hands, that can call, if you go bet, bet, bet. Like maybe 99-JJ or 98s. Of course if the board runout is terrible like putting a 1-liner to a straight, then we can change the plan to 2 bets and check back river or fold to a donk bet. Now having said 3 bets also mean, we are not willing to stack off, unless we improve to for instance top set. It is important to make this decision right now, so we dont get caught wrong-footed, if we get raised at some point in the hand. And the main reason for this is SPR, which with 15 is way to deep to get it in with a single pair. As a rule of thump you need an SPR of 6 or less, before you get it in against an unknown with just one pair. The last thing to take note off already is the fact, we got called from SB. Compared to a BB call this should be a much more narrow and defined range, since he is not closing the action and getting a worse price. Typically we should expect a lot of low to medium pocket pairs and maybe some strong suited hands, but not much else. Which is also important to keep in mind throughout the hand. With all this out of the way, its time to decide on a bet sizing. This is not a flop, we are going to be range betting, and for that reason I lean towards a larger sizing like 2/3 pot. He is not going to fold any pocket pair to that sizing, and if he has a hand like KJs, he is likely going to fold even to a small bet. So I find just taking it down against those hands but getting more money in against his 77 or 99, before future cards kill our action. Turn Pretty large brick, and once again I would prefer a larger sizing like 2/3 pot for the reasons already stated. River This is actually a bad card, because it puts pressure on the hands, you are trying to get value from. Therefore it does not make sense to size up now. If you had gotten more money in on the previous streets, this would be the time to size down and give him a price, which he can call with second or third pair. He check-jam, which is a massive overbet. And here the decision to fold should have been very easy, because that plan should have been made already on the flop. You only beat a bluff, and the vast majority of the time he is going to show you a set or sometimes a straight. [MEDIA=youtube]HwhDuANhckg, list: PLh-Id-OF-s_ZpIsGR8m2nI9gbXITAVPeM[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
