Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6621837, member: 289533"] Thanks for sharing your hand. Preflop we are opening these pocket pairs almost a 100% of times from the CO. Villain calls, which means most of times that it doesn’t hold 88+ or KQ+, for these hands usually 3-bet preflop more than flat, to play a heads-up pot IP and not to give excellent odds for the players in the blinds. Although isn’t common, yet this possibility of villain calling preflop with 99, TT, JJ exists. We can only have more certainty if we have more information about villain. On the flop our check is almost standard with great part of our range, and on the turn comes a very weird move of villain, when it elects to check behind to get a free river card: Maybe villain had a 9x and decided to call because of the Queen on the turn. Maybe he had a flush draw and decided to see a free river. We don’t expect villain to bet flop with 5x or 2x, we expect villain to be betting OTT in a high frequency in order to protect its value range... so it’s really strange. The river hasn’t changed the board configuration and, as played, I think we could call this large bet to protect part of our value range of bluffs, such as possible missed SDs and FDs. The hero call on the river is fine. Nonetheless, if we had elected to raise river I think we would be turning a strong value hand into a bluff. It was well played by both players, in spite of the showdown. Thanks a lot for submitting this awesome hand to our community, and keep posting, is a great pleasure to be able to help!
