I am pretty sure I completely butchered the hand and got lucky to not to be played back at.
I decided not to take a pot control line and to make the fish pay his highcard pair draw, or TP all down.

what's the best line ?

Wow, completely overplayed imo. I think donk/fold Flop seems pretty standard, as UTG has a really fucking Range in Relation to yours, if he doesnt give up. As played I also donk the Turn vs the Fish.

standard is probably check/call flop, check/reevaluate turn, then bet/fold (if he checks behind) or check/fold (if he fires 3 barrels) river.


by check/calling the flop I give 2 villains a free card, this seems pretty bad doesn't it ?

I'm not sure about donk/folding, what am I getting value from (except maybe 66/77) ?

in fact the more I think about it, the more I like my check/raise because it squeezes UTG and puts him in a very difficult situation

not too worried about freecard(s) on this board when often we are behind/in a tough spot after they call our check/raise. small pots with small hands (especially small hands out of position), yada yada. freecards are the lesser of two evils

good question ;). not to mention donkbetting these flops is almost always a sign of weakness


Nicely represented set sir.
Problem doing that play against 25/22/7 that he´d often shove flop with his overpair or call flop, shove turn, since they don´t like that someone outplays them.
I´d lead out 10$ on that flop and see what UTg does. When called then I´d c/f turn and river.

but now you're turning your overpair into a purebluff :(:(


isn't 3-betting preflop a good option?

I think the problem with a 3bet here is OR has a fairly strong opening range from UTG+1 and I am somewhat deep with CO who will probably call, so it puts me in a tough spot on any flop unless I spike a 9.

a squeeze isn't exactly ideal against a UTG raiser, since he'll more often than not have a hand to call or 4-bet... it's much better against a late position open-raiser

I agree - its not ideal, but I don't have squeezing here are UTG doen't seem to look that nitty... Postflop I like how you rept a strong hand (e.g., a set) but I don't like that you turn an overpair into a bluff.
