I am really bad with 3bet stuff, so I picked up linear strategy from coach confidant91 and started using it...

I use nl5 to worm up for mine sessions.

Mine line of thinking is that I want to fold 9x and Tx pair + straight draw... Now thinking of it, was mine bet to ambitious? (question number 1)

on turn, 8 was scary, and non scary card at same time, it hurts me a bit more bc mine range should be capped to over pairs and AKs, AQs from opponent view that is why I called all in.

if this hand was played out on NL10 I would start with check and hope that opponent stabs and I go check -all in on flop.

Questions.

Was mine cbet on flop to ambitious?

2. Was mine call good?(I kinda new I was beat, I was calling for odds of nuts flush draw, and there is a slight possibility that opponent called something like QTs, or QJs that I cover vs TT, JJ I am in solid shape, and vs 8x, 9x, Tx, I think i am in ok shape too?)

For the analysis I assign these ranges:

OOP linear 3b:

IP called with K6s so this should be a good estimate:

Preflop OOP I'd size it bigger, 0.64 or so. Otherwise the IP player gets such odds he needs to call with anything.

Flop:

OOP range is stronger, has all overpairs.

IP has a lot of missed brodways, all the sets, plenty of one pair hands and a lot of draws. Will continue very often.

Seems like the best approach is to CBet small, about 30% or less with most your hands, sometimes check/decide. Some of IP hands fold regardless of how big you bet. Your 55% bet is too big and unnecessary. Plan ahead: before you bet flop, think how turn and rivers will play. With hand as flexible as two overs + NFD it's good to have more chips in relation to the potsize, allows you more options on the turn.

Turn:

This card changes everything. It improves A LOT of IP hands (now he often has straights and two pair). He will have you beat most of the time so there's no reason to bet or checkraise. You should either check/call or check/fold depending on his betsize. I hope you see how a smaller pot on the turn allows you to see more rivers. Once you bet and he goes all-in, vs. anything better than two pair you have about 20% and you need 26%, clear fold.

Good hand to post.
