MP2: 90,56 BB vpip:48 pfr:23 3b:7.7 #40
CO: 100,00 BB
BTN: 19,36 BB
SB: 143,50 BB
BB: 100,00 BB
Hero (UTG): 40,00 BB
UTG+1: 100,00 BB
MP1: 46,18 BB

Pre Flop: (1,50 BB) Hero is UTG with T :spade: T :club:
Hero raises to 3,00 BB, 2 folds, MP2 calls 3,00 BB, 4 folds

Flop: (7,50 BB) 3 :heart: 6 :spade: 7 :heart: (2 players)
Hero bets 5,00 BB, MP2 calls 5,00 BB

Turn: (17,50 BB) Q :spade: (2 players)
Hero bets 13,00 BB, MP2 raises to 82,56 BB all in, Hero calls 19,00 BB all in

Now that I'm looking at this play, I think that I should have mucked my hand because I'm most likely behind a pair of Q or even 2pairs+. If the fishy villain was on a draw, I think he preferred to call to see the river cheaply.

I noticed that I find it hard to lay down my medium made hands after I read a book where they explained that, after we invest 1/3 of our stack, we should avoid fold our hand because this is the threshold we never get pot odds worse than 33%. If we believe our hand isn't worth going all in with, we should play for pot control and never bet over 1/3 of our stack.

However, in this particular example, if I played for pot control I'm giving villain a free card in a dangerous board. It is true that I can call a bet on the river, but villain will only bet in most cases if the draw completed and will mostly always fold to my bet if he misses. This way, I rule out the check option. At the same time, if I bet, I have invested more that 1/3 of my stack and should now be willing to go all in. And that is what I did, but I'm not sure if it is a profitable move. Can someone help me clarify this? Thanks.

River: (81,50 BB) J :club: (2 players - 2 are all in)

Hello,

What book are you reading? I would like to disagree with it, because there are a lot of situations in which you could invest more than 1/3 of your stack and then fold.
In this spot, if you want to fold against a shove, I would prefer betting a little bit smaller - like 10.5bb. Otherwise, I think we could call with these odds against a fishy looking guy.

Best,
Plamen

The book is Professional No-Limit Hold 'em :f_grin:

By the way Plamen, then you prefer bet/call over bet/fold in this spot? It wasn't clear from your answer.. Thanks again
