Message: [QUOTE="Matt_Burns88, post: 6687489, member: 343619"] Pre-flop: I prefer just folding 33 here. It's a tricky stack size because we're too shallow to be getting the implied odds to make min-raising profitable when we hit our set, but we're too deep to open jam. Flop: Great! We hit our set, but the board is very wet and our opponents ranges are very wide. They can literally have anything here to two over cards to a straight with a straight-flush draw. While we should only have a set of 6s, over pairs and over cards, including flush draws. When we have the range advantage, but lack the nut advantage, we should be checking a lot and when we bet, we bet large. Betting small doesn't really achieve anything apart from getting the junk to fold, so we bet large to get the hands that are going to call like draws, two pair and top pair to get maximum value. Turn: This looks awful on the face of it, but actually A2-A6, which call the flop with a pair or a straight draw are more numerous than flush draws, especially as we know he can't have A♦. That said, with your SPR, I think it's reasonable to check here to keep in villains river bluffs. Shoving and taking down the pot is also not an unreasonable line, but I don't like 1/2 because if you get called your SPR is 0.5 and villain can profitably call with pretty much any made hand. River: Disgusting. Now all those AxD that got this far have got there along with the flopped straights and sets and turned flushes. I just cant' see any bluffs here that make sense, except possibly 75/74 without a diamond. 22 shouldn't shove here and nor should two pairs, so there's no value hands you beat, so you essentially have a bluff catcher hand and an opponent with little to no bluffs. I think this makes it a very irritating but comfortable fold. Ultimately you opened too wide and ended up losing half your stack. Poker is also a game of preserving our existing chips, not just about gaining more. [/QUOTE]
