At this stake, it is possible some players will slow-play middle set, but this board offers both flush and straight draws, so the flop CBet is necessary.
The 1/3 bet OTT is also a good move because it a̶l̶l̶o̶w̶s̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ teases you to bluff the supposed flush, and he still has boat outs.
It didn't work out for him.

His turn bet to me felt strength, like the Hulk, hence my over shove on turn.

I think I do like turn cbet in 3bet pot, not sure about SRP.

I just played this hand below,

Turn: (31.48 BB, 2 players) J♠
Hero bets 24.56 BB, fold

Hero wins 28.52 BB

The situation is different though because his value range is skewed towards Kx, and I'm holding FD blocker like A5ss.

And I would've made quads on river according to GG Poker rabbit hunt.<----I'm running hot right now, the graph shows.

I think PS client was messing up today, I noticed that it was glitching a bit earlier in the session.

Anyway, I overbet the river and the villain tanked for 90 seconds, thinking I bet too big, I saw the villain fold, and it zapped to the next table, it was like 2 minutes later that I noticed that my stack size is rather large, and I checked my PT4 and saw that the villain actually called, that's first time I saw such graphic glitch at PS.

I felt the Queen coming in this one too so I clicked the "run it twice" box.

Oh, well, it doesn't hurt to be wrong when you run it twice, does it?

Infreed42,

Infreed42 said, "crazy sizes"<------Are you talking about my BTN open size? Or your 3bet size preflop?

My large open size on BTN is a completely random line, I do it once in a great while, I didn't even see that you were on SB until you 3bet me preflop because I was playing multiple tables on GGP.

Flop: (49 BB, 2 players) 9♣ 2♦ 8♦

My reason behind the large open size on BTN is this:

1. I want more FE.

2. I want to polarize my range.

3. I want to charge more because of inflation.

Basically, I can't really chat during play because I'm using Hot Keys on PS and GGP so if I type something in PS, I might fold, raise, call, or shove at GGP and/or PS. So I have to turn everything off in order to chat but that's humbug.

Edit: I added more information.

I have been slacking at PS this month but I'm doing alright for just a little bit of hands that I played there.

I somehow misread my stack size and bet too big on turn.....

The villain is a recreational player, thanks for calling river.

Edit: solver says my turn size is perfect. What in the world? It's kind of interesting.

This one had me sweating more than it should have because when cards flipped over I thought he had the nuts on flop so I was screaming "pair the board!!".

I just played 26 hands at PS just to unlock my $15 chest and $10 worth of Star Coins, and found another bluffer from Germany.

I did a hand analysis in GTO Wizard and it says I played the hand perfectly.

However, when I saw his flush flip over it made me feel dirty like I made a mistake.

I totally had him on Ax hand like AdQh or AsKh.

My reason behind the large open size on BTN is this:

1. I want more FE.

2. I want to polarize my range.

3. I want to charge more because of inflation.

Basically, I can't really chat during play because I'm using Hot Keys on PS and GGP so if I type something in PS, I might fold, raise, call, or shove at GGP and/or PS. So I have to turn everything off in order to chat but that's humbug.

Edit: I added more information.

Haha,that is pretty nice - "I am raising 2.2 instead of 2BB pre due to inflation"!

This hand still kinda haunts me. Do you recall what you had? ^^ I x/f AQo here. Still don't get your sizing though. Especially the tiny fourbet and the shove on the flop. At least you confused me. Maybe thats the mein goal after all.

I'm pretty sure I had the Ace high flush draw. The shove is for maximum FE. If you folded AQo then it's probably correct, I could've easily done it with TT also.
