No-Limit Hand Evaluation [Advanced] BSS - Homework

Not sure preflop is it good to call because of kicker. But one advantage for calling is that BB fish can enter the pot.

On flop it looks like BTN is not having strong hand because of sizing. So I think with nut FD raise is better, because for calling we need implied odds.

On turn we don't know if he will barrel here, but when we donktbet it might look strong on such board, so nothing is left - only let him bluff or value bet Ax.

River - I think is ok, because we did not bet the turn so showed weakness, not he might not give as much cretit as on turn and call.

PokerStars - $0.25 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: $22.67
BTN: $10.00
Hero (SB): $25.00
BB: $10.00
UTG: $30.25
UTG+1: $6.67
MP: $7.90

Hero posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has K♥ A♣

fold, fold, fold, CO raises to $1.00, fold, Hero raises to $2.50, fold, CO calls $1.50

Flop: ($5.25, 2 players) 4♠ K♦ T♠
Hero checks, CO bets $2.50, Hero calls $2.50

Turn: ($10.25, 2 players) 7♣
Hero checks, CO bets $17.67 and is all-in, Hero calls $17.67

River: ($45.59, 2 players) A♠

Hero shows K♥ A♣ (Two Pair, Aces and Kings) (Pre 43%, Flop 3%, Turn 0%)
CO shows T♥ T♦ (Three of a Kind, Tens) (Pre 57%, Flop 97%, Turn 100%)
CO wins $43.59

preflop I would 3bet 2x at least, we are OOP, but usually now I add 1 bb OOP.

Flop cbet 1/2 - he might have KQ, QQ, JJ maybe some draws depends on how ligght he calls 3bets.

cbet small turn for same reason - KQ, QQ and maybe JJ can call. Plus draws if he has such.

As played turn withouth having info - its dificult to call. He bet flop - so he should bluff to times and make spewy bluffs. If he would want to bluff, he might want to cheap bluff, because he can rep Kx anyway. Now he needs much more FE. We still have 70% stack and gave him.

3b bigger , 3x or 4x since you are oop.
cbet 2/3 flop and also cbet turn if brick falls.
IF I get raised I stoppe dand evaluate. Probably would just fold.

As played, I dont think our hand is strong enough vs hes over bet shove vs unkown.
Sometimes he is doing that with strong draws, like QJ spades. but most likeley its for value, and our hand is not that strong.

Assuming CO is a fish (due to stacksize) I would 3bet at least 3x. We have to act out of position and there's no reason to give him a good price,

On the flop I think we should go for a value bet. Villain could call KQ, KJ, QJ, flush draws. I don't like check hoping he bets. Same goes for the turn.
