Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6369939, member: 397965"] Preflop 3-betting is completely fine. Maybe we can also just call at some frequenzy. SB defense is a complicated topic with many different opinions and styles, but we can probably all agree, that folding would be to tight against a CO open. Flop This is not the best flop for your hand or range. Yes you have all the overpairs, but he have more sets and draws. It would be interesting to know, what a solver say, since you are playing a fairly high (for online) stakes here, where most opponent should be somewhat competent. I am not a fan of check-calling, because I think, your hand is simply to bad. You dont even have any sneaky backdoor draws, that can improve you, and if you hit top pair, its not always good. So my choise here would be to either C-bet, and it would mostly with in a one-and-done mentality, or to simply check-fold. It must be ok to have some hands, that just give up on bad boards, especially when we are out of position. Turn As played standard check, and now I would definitely check-fold, but luckily he check back. River This is a decent bluff card, because it apply pressure to 99-JJ, and his line is consistent with that kind of hand. You can also tell a credible story, mainly that you have AK, maybe AQ or KQ as well. So I dont mind bluffing here, and with this board runout AJ must be one of the very worst hands in your range, so its definitely a candidate for bluffing. The question is sizing. Do we go for a small bet, like you did, or do we move all in polarizing our range. The small bet is better for representing a hand like AK, but if its not getting him to fold the exact kind of hand, we are targeting, then maybe the raw power of a jam would have been better. Betting less than half pot the bluff dont need to work every time though. Its enough, if it work around 30% of the time. So getting called does not in itself mean, it was a bad play. But of course if he is also calling 99-TT, because its essentially the same hand as JJ, then you probably picked the wrong sizing and/or the wrong opponent. [/QUOTE]
