[FR] T9s

Pre open is fine.
OTF villain donks, what do you think it means? Quite non standard move. I think he might have air or weak hands but I would also include all of the sets,2pair and overpairs because they are possible. Calling is fine but could we raise here and hope he has something strong?

Imo rest of the hand was ok. Turn call might be a bit close? I wouldn't say it is a blank or that the possibility of a FH is small.

I think we can raise on flop. And we will be happy to stack off.

Pre-flop is the open loose I think on a full ring table, but on a table with not too many fish behind you it could be fine, but then I would try to get the money in on the flop on a coordinated board like this.

Good point. This is a full ring table and I'm not really sure how tight we should be playing on FR. On 6max it is a standard open but now it might be too loose?

On a full ring SNG I would fold it for sure, but on a cash game I don’t know the ranges well.

This seems a little backwards to me. We would surely want to open more if there are fish left to act than if not, right?

In UTG+3 we can definitely open this. We could arguably raise the flop. Turn and river seem fine to me.

It is a normal open.

The river sucks... Though I don't understand the x from his part. Either he has fd, sets that got full or is bluffing, either way checking is the best option on the river, bluffs wouldn't call, the rest hits the board one way or another

No. And I'm not insinuating that you misread the board. I'm insinuating that you misread the situation. Just because villains don't chose our lines, doesn't mean they can't play their lines cleverly.

This card may mean he hit nuts.

I'll not be a clever-ass and say that once he raises, it is pretty damned probable that he actually did.

EDIT: On a side note, villain's river play was atrocious. Here he should definitely bet. He's a fish. This time a fish with a boat. Take notes (not about the boat necessarily, donking sets is fine)!

I like the way you played it. I don´t think raising on the flop is a good idea, board is not enough drawy imo.
