Preflop: Hero is BB with T♥ T♠
2 folds, CO raises to $2.50, BTN raises to $7.50, SB folds, Hero calls $6.50, CO folds

Flop: ($18) 3♣ A♥ 9♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($18) K♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $12, Hero calls $12 ???

River: ($42) 2♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $31.50, Hero ???

Co regular.

Villain regular. 24/19/8 (big sample)
3bet BU vs CO 11%
cbet flop raised pot 72%

Pre flop I cold 4bet JJ+;AK for value and AQ,KQ for bluff. About TT I think is not strong enough to 4bet for value, and I think is weak to fold pre flop. In reason I cold call 3bet.

This guy has a big cbet, for this, I think he will cbet very wide in this board on the flop and check some combos of AX weak and JJ-KK. Also, he may check some trash.

What do you think about Pre-flop ?

What do you think about turn ? call/fold ?

What do you think about river ? call/fold ? ( he represent a narrow range, only KK make sense, and may be some weak Aces which make a thin value bet)

thanks !!!

I'll role with:

preflop: call
Turn: x/c
River: fold

He shouldn't have many flushes. Only thing that really makes sense for value is KK. Q:hJo (or Q:hTo) could make sense as a bluff I think.

Hey Alphamonkey,

Preflop call is fine so long as opponent is 3betting reasonably wide. It should totally be fine vs 11% 3b.

Assuming guy has large cbet I think it would be reasonable to assume checking back range includes lots of stuff like TT-KK.

For this reason turn x/c is going to be pretty borderline. By the river should be pretty straightforward x/f imo.

Thanks for analysis !

What do you think about JJ,AQs and AQo in the same situation pre flop ???

JJ 4bet/call ??? or cold call 3bet ???

AQo, 4bet/fold ??? or cold call 3bet ???

AQs , 4bet/fold ??? or cold call 3bet ???

thanks !!!

The hands listed are obviously the borderline hands and will be villain dependent.

Once issue with cold-4betting is that unless there is an aggressive dynamic we may be given a ton of credit and not generate much action from worse hands with something like JJ. So long as we are given credit for being able to cold-4b aggressively then 4b/call with JJ is fine, but vs guys who perceive us as tight it can be a mistake.

AQo, I would imagine cold-4b is very frequently the strongest option. There are exceptions of course, original opener might be a fish etc.

AQs, I would imagine the same applies except the hand does slightly better as a cold-call than AQo and plays better in multi-way pots assuming the original opener overcalls.
