Hello,

The bets he makes are small and look drawy.

River I bet because I don't want him to check behind with a PP, he might call or not but if I don't bet he will surely don't invest any money in the pot anymore.

his raise looks strange but can very well be set.

BTN: $7.36 (VPIP: 14.29, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 14)
SB: $13.81 (VPIP: 15.66, PFR: 12.01, 3Bet Preflop: 4.46, Hands: 1,055)
BB: $10.00 (VPIP: 16.07, PFR: 13.23, 3Bet Preflop: 4.61, Hands: 714)
Hero (UTG): $17.66
UTG+1: $10.31 (VPIP: 15.57, PFR: 13.10, 3Bet Preflop: 3.50, Hands: 2,862)
MP: $10.00 (VPIP: 13.13, PFR: 9.08, 3Bet Preflop: 2.34, Hands: 2,614)
CO: $10.00 (VPIP: 11.87, PFR: 9.36, 3Bet Preflop: 3.07, Hands: 446)

SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has A♠ K♦
Hero raises to $0.30, fold, fold, fold, BTN calls $0.30, fold, fold

Flop: ($0.75, 2 players) 3♠ 4♥ 5♥
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.30, Hero calls $0.30

Turn: ($1.35, 2 players) 9♠
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.50, Hero calls $0.50

River: ($2.35, 2 players) K♣
Hero bets $1.23, BTN raises to $6.26 and is all-in, fold

Spoiler

Hero mucks A♠ K♦ (One Pair, Kings)
BTN wins $4.59

X/c river. From what hands your are seeking value?

I agree. You play with your cards face up, also inviting bluffs that you can't possibly call.

I am not sure about the turn call for the same reason. You have something like 6-7 outs and little in the form of implied odds.

I think you could fold turn. You have only 6 outs but those are not clean. OTR what hands you think will call? River raises are often for value and villain will not bet flop and turn and raise river with worse hand than TPTK.

As for me it is fold on flop without any additional information about this player. I only can see that he has partial stack and maybe he is a weak player.

We have 2 overs and gutshot. Villain will stab us frequently with anything when we check flop. I think folding OTF would be too weak and it would make us easily exploitable. We cannot play fit or fold.

We cannot fold 2 overcards on flop. Turn is somewhat Hero dependant... :)
On river-give him a chance to fire at you and call.

Agreed with this. I don't like the river donk bet as much- the K is a nice card for him to bluff and your line is fairly inconsistent with any bluff.

It is no those a limit to think about that somebody can exploit you. As for me it is the best way to play fit or fold versus unknown weak player. I see that villain very often will make bet, but fold will save us from mistake on the next streets.

To be honest, I would have folded on the turn.

I'm not too worried about getting exploited by fish at the micros. But this is NL10, which is kind of the top of the micros. When ppl learn to exploit other players, exploiting too high fold to cbet is the first thing they do.

But this is not the main point. You still have a lot of equity vs his range here and by folding too much to cbets you just lose money. You can make much more profit by fixing your fold to cbet %. I really do think that playing fit or fold is terrible and you will get raped even at the micros because not all of the players are weak.

Villain is probably cbetting a very wide range here. And why? Because weak players tend to fold too much to cbets.

la55i, nl20-50 are the top of the micros ... :)
Villains like to cbet much, villains do not like to fold much vs cbets.... We should call flop and act according to personal style/info on turn.
That is it. And this is not a matter of not being exploited but is a matter of not folding your equity share too easily here.

Ed Miller argues in his book that up till NL200 is all micro. So who is right? :f_biggrin: :f_tongue:

I kind of think up till NL25 is micro, from there it is already low stakes since your bankroll looks by that time pretty impressive for most of your surroundings haha.. but obviously, this isn't based on theory or any of that sort.

Nl50 is micros too.
The big difference comes on nl100+.

I never played NL100, 1 time NL200 when I got $200 from PartyPoker 7 years ago or something. Still don't know why I got that. I doubled up, lost $200 again and cashed out :f_biggrin:

Haha true. I saw your previous comments in the other threads below my comments in which mine weren't that accurate. I will lower my amount of comments. Seems this Gmat is taking quite a toll on me, in which I will need more concentration on that
