Level 17 out of 22

UTG+1 stats after 128 hands played: VPIP 24 PFR 19 ColdCall 13 Post Flop AGG 7 and 3-bet 5

Against this player do you guys just call here? I decided to raise his c-bet since I do believe that this is a wet board and I want to protect my hands against any draws. And if he shoved on me I was happy to call.

UTG: 11,930 (7.5 bb)
UTG+1: 98,631 (61.6 bb)
MP: 21,960 (13.7 bb)

8 players post ante of 200, SB posts 800, BB posts 1,600

Pre Flop: (pot: 4,000) Hero has 2♠: 2♣:

Pre-flop is a fold. Is basicly same situation as the 66 hand. Now you have a little bit more bb behind.
You can only call if you have a effective stack of 72k based on the 20call rule for set value.
Even than I would most likely fold when you aren't closing the action.

Flop is pretty wet. I think you're set needs protection. Any :diamond: or broad way card on turn or river could kill the action.
A raise of around 8k is big enough I think to get it in on the turn if villain called. This way it looks like you could fold if villain shoves.

Cheers,

Preflop its a fold as mentioned.

Postflop I kinda have a different oppinion on this Hand. It is a super wet board where we rarely have a super strong made hand. We only really have JTs as a valuecombo and in this unique case bottom set (which we shouldnt have). Even tho the board is very wet, our valuehands do have a really good equity (>75%) against our oppenents range, so we need less protection than you might think of.

Against an oppenent that we can expect to be aggressiv on further streets, I would rarely raise my valuehands and let him gladly fire his bullets on me on turn and river. However, as population tends to overcbet flop and undercbet Turn it makes sence to still raise "a lot" to maximize EV from our made Hands. So it would be totally okay to raise our valuehands (22, JTs) and the same number of combos of our strongest draws like combodraw etc. All other Hands have enough Equity to just call. There is no Hand other then maybe A2s (if we even have it) to turn into a semi-bluff and raise/fold on the flop.
This leads me to the raise sizing. I thinks its more EV to use a sizing that enables us to get it in over two streets - which leads in a bigger raise (like you did). So Use a Raise size that makes you Pot-Jam Turn and do it with your whole raising range. E.g. only raise hands on flop which are happy to jam all in on Turn.

Our PF flattingrange constits of a big portion of medium strong hands like pair + BD-Eq., OESD, Combodraw, etc.so that we can call a lot on this flop and wont have a lot of raises in a raw theoretical pov.
