Hi,

V is 20/13 with 3bet 9.4 @ 75 hands.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 1.1 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds 10 Ante (9 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com

UTG (t2,951)
UTG+1 (t19,922)
Hero (MP1) (t18,328)
MP2 (t16,374)
MP3 (t10,680)
CO (t21,302)
Button (t10,697)
SB (t16,126)
BB (t11,446)

Hero's M: 76.37

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8♥, 8♠
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t100, Hero raises to t300, 5 folds, BB raises to t750, 1 fold, Hero calls t450

Flop: (t1,740) 6♠, 9♠, 4♣ (2 players)
BB bets t696, Hero calls t696

Turn: (t3,132) 2♦ (2 players)
BB bets t2,349, Hero folds

I decide to open 88, which I assume is pretty standard. At the same time it doesn't feel weak enough to fold it to 3bet, so keeping in mind I am kind of deep I decided to call.

I put him on around 10% he is 3betting, something like 44+,AQo+, AJs+, KQ, QJs. On that flop the only hands that have me beaten are overpairs and pocket pairs that hit set. Hovewer, I think he might be betting here as well with AJ + and broadways so I decided to call (sigh, should have folded). According to equilab I have equity of above 50%. Why did I fold to a blank on the river? No idea.

To sum up: IMHO played bad, should have folded flop, or as played call turn and get to cheap showdown. In case of T+ coming OTR give up.

What do you think? #RoastMe :f_cool:

I think the 3bet range you gave him is pretty wide. Especially he’s playing OOP and you are opening from early position. So I expect you are often against better pairs and A high and I would call here pure for set value and fold most flops.

Cheers,

I guess you're right and he gonna 3bet sth like TT+ / AQ+. 88 is useful then basically only for set mining.

Thanks for the insight!
