Should I barrel turn here to not give away a free card to the flush?
This guy had been 3-betting me a little to often so this time i fight back with A5.
No stats on villain.

If he has been 3 betting you a lot, adjust be opening a tighter range and getting that in rather than opening wide from the CO and getting into odd spots like this.

Given dynamics, stack sizes and position I don't think we're getting them to fold as much as we think here by 4betting. 100bb and we have position will be another story.

I would have either check shoved or bet around $9-10 to setup for a turn shove with our hand and stack size. Don't like the half size bet because there's a lot of turns (like that one that can hurt us).

pre standard

bigger flop, rest fine

Harvie, don't you think we need a 4-bet bluffingrange? What hands do you 4-bet bluff CO vs Btn? People 3-bet very wide from the Button vs Co.

Interesting preflop 4bet, I definitely use this type of hand for 4bets but I generally will only do it when I have a bit of a sample regarding how often the player folds to 4bets. Come people are overfolding massively, others are never folding so it has the potential to be a great play or a terrible play depending on villain.

On the flop I am betting for sure and I like your sizing. Villain should not show up with many combos of flush draws here at all but will have a ton of strong Ax, some of which will have picked up a flush draw so are very unlikely to be folding. I would be continuing to barrel turn here and jamming any non heart/non-king river.

Im not sure how often we need to 4bet bluff at the speed-tables. Especially at 888-poker where a HUD is not allowed. At the regular tables I understand it is very importen to balance the ranges but when it is hudless speed? What do you think will happend if we nerver 4bet bluff here?

No HUD, huh?

But to answer the question - you can get away with not 4bet / 5bet jam bluffing fish and nits, but against decent regs /bots you gotta do it or you'll get rant over.

Oh well. So my opponents have huds... damn... Do you know if it is safe to use?

888 don't care of anything, bots are welcome, so this is more than safe

I don't play snap and haven't tried to get hud running tho.

I'm leaning towards not 4 betting as a bluff here because of the stack depth. I'm not comfortable at all with the increased chance that he's going to call us in position.

I think one possible adjustment is to open to a small sizing, maybe 2.2bb, to allow us to call OOP as wide as possible.

As played I would make it bigger on the flop to make shoving the turn easier. With a value hand letting him possibly freeroll a heart can't be great.

A friend of mine plays Snap with a HUD, never heard anything about it.

I'd aim to gii, not sure if we will but that'd be my goal, so bigger otf, fire the turn. As played, on the turn he prob rarely checks back a flush, a set or AQ, so you have the best hand a lot here. He's only gonna call with an A, maybe KK, rarely KQ, almost never anything else, so make your river bet bigger to target the aces.
