Prima, $0.50/$1 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

Hero (BB): $112.68 (112.7 bb)
UTG: $56.86 (56.9 bb)
MP: $100 (100 bb)
CO: $179.11 (179.1 bb)
BTN: $109.38 (109.4 bb)
SB: $36.14 (36.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7 A
3 folds, BTN raises to $2, SB folds, Hero calls $1

Flop: ($4.50) 8 3 Q (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $3, Hero raises to $9, BTN calls $6

Turn: ($22.50) J (2 players)
Hero bets $15, BTN raises to $37, Hero calls $22

River: ($96.50) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

Anon table.

BTN played 27/24 after 75 hands.

I was tanking a lot on the turn, considering a push. His small raise was weird, would he raise like this with value hands on such a drawy board? Plus I dominate most draws with my Ace high (except pair+FD hands)...

Flop is close I think. Not the best board to check/Raise bluff because I don't expect him to fold a lot of hands here. Close close, can't say what's best.

Turnbet is std and I don't see much air in his range now. I do think we could call, also because our flush is not so obvious.

Hmmm a rivership from our side would be really interesting and I think he'd fold 9T and QJ so yeah good spot I think !! :)

Hi,

I think flop check/call seems standard. Keep calling down on spades, and perhaps turn our hand into bluffs on some turns depending on sizing.

As played, I think calling turn is best, I don't really see what he bluffs with here. I would seriously consider donkshoving river though. Since we don't expect him to raise the turn with many flushdraws, he really has a v strong hand here (unless he has like QQ/JJ/33), problem is that he might not fold T9/QJ though since it's only 50$ into almost 100$. But I guess if you think he's capable of folding those it's a cool spot for a donkshove. Otherwise c/f.

I also though about donkshoving River BUT, I have the experience that when 2 FDs are possible on the Turn, villains herocall way too often with their 2pairs or better. And as you already mentioned, we dont have that much FEQ with our stacksize left. I think the Th or 9h would be a much better card to donk.

That is indeed a fair point and I would tend to agree.
