NL10 AJo

Posted 8 years ago

Pre I think is fine vs active 3bettor. As played I think I have to call flop, turn is getting close now with TPWK and I'm calling to check back river/fold to triple.

River is interesting. A lot of the bluffs now hit and his value range I now beat but triple on NL10z is the nuts.

Too nitty to fold?

Call river and I think the hand is well played. bvb where ranges are the loosest of all positions, top 2 pair in a 3bet pot is great. In addition to all the nutted hands I do think villain will value bet worse, mainly AK, and any worse 2-pair if he has them in his preflop range (including the AJ chop). There can possibly be some bluffs like 98 as well if villain is aggressive preflop.

If 10z players give crazy respect to 3 barrels in 3bet pots or otherwise then you should keep an eye out for profitable bluff spots to take that line.

I think the fact that the river is a spade is super relevant here. It has an impact on his range that means it is very hard for villain to have a high bluffing frequency in this spot.

I would imagine it's a pretty easy call on any other Jack, but probably close to ahero-fold at these limits. I highly doubt he is valuebetting that many worse hands when flush completes. I would call though and hope he has enough Aces-up type stuff etc, but I don't think we are making much money at all if any.

This is another spot where it depends on what side of bed I get out of, but I know I should fold.

@10NL I can't see villain making a river barrel for that sizing with less than a set when the flush completes. It's easy to get drawn into thinking he can do this with worse aces up combos, but in my experience when we take a line of calling twice on a flush board and the river binks almost all micro stakes players will slow down. Many of them would even check back a set here, I've seen it no end of times.

Betting more than 75% pot as a third barrel is extremely polarised, and as we all know a micro player will never be bluffing frequently enough to make the call if you don't beat any of his value range.
