$31.25 pot ($1.41 rake)
Final Board: J 8 J Q 4
Hero showed A T and lost (-$15.50 net)
CO showed 9 9 and won $29.84 ($14.34 net)

is the 3bet too loose as a bluff vs CO open range?
are the flop and turn barrells ok?

Hi Legand,

Preflop: Given a "standard" open range from CO I think that calling is also an option unless BB is some aggro guy. As far as the 3-bet goes we will be dominated some amount of the time but I think it's fine. We can consider it thin value versus someone that doesn't fold much to 3-bets.

Postflop: AS played I think that your bet sizes can be a tad smaller, especially on the turn.

what kind of sizing? especially on the turn? I suppose i was just trying to get more fold equity.

Normally you bet 1/2 pot with 100 BBs in 3-bet pots on most streets. Given we are slightly deeper I have that betting 55-60% is fine.

So if we bet $3 on the flop we have a pot of 11.25 on turn where we can bet like 6.5 that would make the river 24.25 and we would have 16 left.

Like this you have so little left behind that you don't really have FE 3-barreling.

Plus with the lower bet sizings you are usually telling a better story.
