I would just start with a 100bb stack with the automatic reload function on.

Pre-flop seems decent, but folding isn't to bad with a off suite connector out of position.
Flop call on his almost pot size bet in a multi way pot seems marginal. I would fold most of the time.

As played I would earlier check/call river than making a block bet. Only if you have reads or stats he's verey creative bludffer I would consider calling, but against a unknown this is a easy fold for sure.

Cheers,

Agreed with SDK1987 you should play with a complete stack.

Preflop you had to play because the excellent odds and JTo has decent equity for a call.

Usually, a player with trips or quads will never bet in this flop higher as he did, unless he has a reading or stat that you have a higher call flop cbet. But the odds to hit trips are 1.38% so I would try a check-raise on the flop overvaluing the TT.

As played I will never call his river bet unless you had a reading that he does this very often with total air.

Ps: If you would like to learn more about BSS I recommend the "No-Limit Starter Course" with LemOn36 to learn about NL Holdem cash game.

Hi,

Agreed with the above.

Curious what were you trying to accomplish with the river bet? It is a bluff inducing bet so it is much more appropriate to use with a hand which you want to call with. If you want to call this hand as you have reads or so, then the bet is correct but you can't bet fold with this line as you are throwing away money.

For me when I make a 25% river bet I have the intention to call raises with it, if you do not have that intention do not use that bet size.

If you want to bluff at him it needs to be higher, although I would not recommend a bluff on this board. Check call is the best line.

Hi guys,

Yea thanks for your comments.

1) Deffo a 2 dollar auto-rebuy sounds like a good idea.

2) Yea on the river I tried a value type bet, to make opponent think I had a hand. - probably not a good idea :)

Yea, super confused me on this one. I don't know what he has with the way they check the turn after pot sized bet on the flop.

I agree with comments above.
As played, it's an easy fold on the river.

Would any of you check call the river - and use the hand as a bluff catcher? say if I checked and he put down a 10BB sized bet on the river?
