Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6527380, member: 305911"] Just a side note, I have a special color that I use on my HUD to color code players that sit out while they are at the table with me. Once I am at the table with them for 10 hands or so and they are sitting out I color code them so I know if I ever sit with them again that they have some sit out hands. It's a way to know in the future if their HUD is skewed and I suggest if you are not currently doing this or have some system of tagging a player when they sit out at your table that you begin to do so. I also believe you should 2.5x open here instead of 3x based on 38 BBs. Not a gigantic mistake but one you should change going forward. I think you may have used 3x here since 77 is vulnerable post flop against a lot of players but some players will pick up on your 3x vs 2.5x regular sizing if indeed you were thinking to raise more to deter callers and normally would have used 2.5x. I know you said villain potentially sat out some hands but this is a spot where your HUD stats for fold to c bet % is crucial. I am basing my action here solely on villains fold to c bet%. If they fold to a lot of c bets and therefore dont float then I am checking here. If they fold in the middle to c bets (50% give or take) then I bet small here but larger than you (will get to that below). If villain rarely folds to c bets (35% fold and lower) then not only am I betting here but I probably will bet larger than normal knowing their propensity to call and also it makes my hand look a little bluffier (potentially anyway) and can get me more value. Also as a side note, I dont like check raising here since unless we are someone who has a history against the villain and check raises against them a lot and they know that, we are tipping our hand check raising here since how many hands could we have that are really strong on this board knowing villain never thinks we check raise as a bluff. If villain never thinks its a bluff then they know its overpair at the minimum. Your bet sizing I am not a fan of. You have the right idea if we are readless here that we should either check or bet small. However, we dont want to bet so small that it looks like we are begging for a call. I think if we are to bet readless here then the sizing should be something round number ish like 500. Under half pot but not 1/4th pot or in that neighborhood. On this board when we bet that small we look like we are trying like hell to get called. If we had air or even a showdown hand like Ax wouldnt we either bet to take it down or just check and evaluate? We would never ( I think) split the difference and make a small bet with Ax where when we get called we are not really sure what the hell is going on. I think your sizing here cost you some value since you made a bet that made villain potentially think "why this sizing". [/QUOTE]
