PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP: 150.6 BB
CO: 116.6 BB
BTN: 98.6 BB
Hero (SB): 101.6 BB
BB: 100 BB
UTG: 140 BB Stats: 69/14/5 Fold to steal:0

Villain is very loose pre with lots of aggression stealing lots of pots. This made me adapt from standard play.

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has K♦ K♣

UTG raises to 4 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 14 BB, fold, UTG calls 10 BB

Flop: (29 BB, 2 players) 9♣ 2♦ 6♥
Hero bets 14 BB, UTG calls 14 BB

Turn: (57 BB, 2 players) 7♥
Hero checks, UTG bets 9 BB, Hero calls 9 BB

River: (75 BB, 2 players) Q♠
Hero bets 39 BB, UTG raises to 103 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 25.6 BB and is all-in

Spoiler

UTG shows 6♠ 6♦ (Three of a Kind, Sixes)
(Pre 20%, Flop 91%, Turn 95%)
Hero shows K♦ K♣ (One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 80%, Flop 9%, Turn 5%)
UTG wins 193.8 BB

(This) Villain has very wide range of hands even EP. I figure there are many times we have him beat. He got lucky this time and played it smart by not raising until the river at which point I got myself pot committed even though I realized at that point I was probably beat. I would have played with much more caution vs a NIT but I think this was ok play vs this type of player. Feel free to share your comments.

I don’t like the check on the turn personally. Too much of a wet board. I’d just shove the turn, looks bluffy, and if he’s got you, he’s got you. There’s a lot more combos of hands you beat than the off chance he had a set.

Yeah Castle is right! :f_drink: Turn shove without even thinking anything else.

With sick polarized range you have excuse to find fold but but nobody is that sick

Against a loose passive player you could also 3bet a little bit more like 16bb and Cbet around 2/3 pot for value with the intention to shove most turns.

This time you walked against the top of villains range.

Hello,

If he's aggressive I like the x/push turn. Although personally against this type of villain I play strong Bet bet bet
