888 Poker - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (SB): 100.5 BB
BB: 101.4 BB (VPIP: 30.77, PFR: 30.77, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 14)
BTN: 134.3 BB (VPIP: 8.33, PFR: 4.17, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 26)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♥ 6♥

BTN raises to 2 BB, Hero raises to 6.5 BB, fold, BTN calls 4.5 BB

Flop: (14 BB, 2 players) T♠ 3♦ 2♦
Hero checks, BTN checks

- Plan for flop is chack, fold. I think that oponent range is pocked pairs, all sets and he has more Tx hands than me.
- After his check back i think he can have only Top set, week Tx and air. and also FD a bdFD not many times.

Turn: (14 BB, 2 players) 4♠
Hero checks, BTN bets 7 BB, Hero raises to 15 BB, BTN calls 8 BB

-His bet 1/2p looks week, I suppose his range is bluffs and semibluffs predominantly.
-My plan is small raise and bluff river.

River: (44 BB, 2 players) J♦
Hero bets 33 BB, fold

Hero wins 41.8 BB

I m not sure my play. Can u give me any advice? ty :f_thumbsup:

That raise ott is ugly, huge amount of possible draws, even if excluded, 2x raise won't make the job done

When villain checks behind and you improve to gutshot I think you could bet yourself.
Villains bet might look weak but what does your raise look like? What do you check twice and then raise?

Not an optimal plan. An optimal plan is to raise as much as you can on turn while keeping enough for a credible river bluff. This can under reasonable assumptions be shown to have the best EV. You get decent fold equity on turn, and, if called on turn, if you decide to carry through, will gain you the most if the river bluff succeeds. You should be selective with which river cards you barrel.

Note: Plays like these should be executed very rarely, and should carry a government warning flag. Takes great skill and thinking opponents. Doing it OOP without initiative lends some credibility, but is much more expensive when it fails. Not for the micros.

When you chose that line OTT raise bigger. As played IMO you just make the pot bigger while keeping all the range that beat you in play (you probably make fold high card K/Q that you beat already).

I think your opponent made a questionable decision folding on the river. After his call OTT, I feel like your range is to wide for him to fold on the river.

I hate your min raise on turn. You do not achieve much and sweeten the pot more. Make it bigger or fold.

If you 3bet pre, why don't cbet that board? You have big pairs in your range.
What hand that don't cbet flop are you trying to represent OTR?

Because we missed the flop and villain knows it.

This is hugely relevant. Representing something well is an integral part of bluffing.

I would fold OTT. His bet isn´t weak, 1/2 is ok in 3bet pot. As you played it, you have to bet big OTT - 3,5x? - but generally I wouldn´t go for that, there are many draws, so better fold it.

I don´t think villain has sets in his range. He needs protection OTF, so he should have bet them.
