Message: [QUOTE="c0rnBr34d, post: 5417589, member: 394557"] About 10.5 hours into a grueling session. In 2.5 buy ins and it's degen hours of the night / morning. Table has gotten very limp / call happy with a lot of players stuck and trying to chase to get back even. OTTH: Unstudied but not clueless tight passive opens to $15 with a standard range from HJ (he over-folds to 3 bets, and seems to open more often/wider in position). CO calls super wide vs this small sizing. BU is main V and is a dealer at another room I play at. He has everyone covered and also flats, capping his range. SB tight passive flats. Hero is effective stack with $1265 and looks down at A4hh in the BB and decides to 3 bet bluff to $105 vs a bunch of capped ranges and a wide HJ open. Standard 3 bet sizing I like to use is 4x out of position + 1x per caller = $60 + $45 = 105. Obviously we are folding to any 4 bet. Only button V calls. Flop (~$250 after rake): Ac8d4s Feels like the effective nuts. V should be folding A8, 88, and 44 here pre almost always. AA should be 3 betting in front of us a lot and 4 betting behind us a lot, plus it's only one combo. We decide to down bet to 1/4 pot but mess up the quick math and bet $45. V clicks it back to $100. We have a ton of JJ+ here that is scared of the Ace and the dealer V knows this. I'm a tight player in general so this dealer has likely never seen Hero 3 bet bluff a hand like this. Here is where we may go off the rails a bit. I'm putting V on a strong Ace here like AJ+ that didn't 3 bet. Since we are fairly deep Hero decides to 3 bet the flop to set up a turn jam. If we were in position I would just call and allow V to keep betting. Anyway we make it $300 to go. We are repping a very thin range of sets and maybe AK so we are ok with polarizing. If we take it down we may have lost some value but if we get called we can jam pretty much every turn card. Probably too ambitious but I also like it because it looks bluffy on a dry board. V tanks then calls. Turn ($850): Ac8d4s 7c We tank a bit and then jam $850. V asks for a count, tanks for several minutes. Counts it off. Makes the call. Did I overplay the flop here or is this a fine aggressive line? I just didn't want to flat the flop raise then the turn goes x/x and river goes bet / call. If we do flat flop and V bets turn we have to raise then right? Otherwise river is even more likely x/x. It felt like the best way to get stacks in was to 3 bet flop in the moment. But maybe I'm being too greedy. [/QUOTE]
