I'm check raising this flop all day against this player as I don't expect them to fold any part of this board and barrel of. As played I'd be calling river based on that size and their stats.

You don't find that spewie? Calling a rather large bet with a possible FD on board. We are in the micros so they call with everything

Yes we want them to call with everything, we have the best hand and when we have the best hand we want to make as much money as we can. Spewy is raising when you don't have a hand, when you have a hand it's called VALUE.

Sorry if I sounded rather direct, didn't mean too Laugh .

No offence taken. Need this feedback to grow in the game. Did just run it thru equilab and indeed, i have 89% equity, so should have made the call

Against a loose player we should be looking to do nothing more than get money in the middle of the table. He calls everything? Well then raise with your set with a FD on the flop and the K also hits him a lot as he 3bet pre right?

Also... how do you know he plays almost anything? Where do you come to that conclusion? It's a Zoom game and you have 11 hands on him. Maybe he was in late position for most of those and had a half decent hand most of the time? Who knows huh? Granted his 3 bet size looks fishy, so based on that I'd look to be getting value vs what could be a fishy player.

Not meaning to sound too strong here, but I see this mistake made over and over with stats. People reading too much into stats over practically no hands. (I know full well as I've done this myself in the past a lot) I play these games now and actually threw the HUD in the bin with these big player pools and my win rate went through the roof. But that's just me. But means I'm probably looking more into the things that matter than the stuff that may just be distracting. My bet is we see this guy over 100 hands and he isn't close to a 64 vpip.

So what I'm really saying is, look at his bet sizing and things he does and shows up with, his lines etc and that'll give a good indicator of the player.
I'll just get it in on the turn here mate with his pot sizing and if he happens to have a flush once in a blue moon then hell we even have a decent amount of equity.

Edit - Oh and to add... as played I'd have called no problem.

Pre: Standard.

Flop: I normally check raise here and look to play for stacks vs villains Kx, we are going to lose some value form villains bluffs but I find this is more than made up for when we set up to stack our villain with all his Kx that he can't fold.

Turn: Not in love with his pot sizing so I am not sure I am in raise GII mode anymore but definitely calling again here.

River: Never folding to this sizing, if he absolutely bombed river again then MAYBE you can argue towards a tight fold but getting 3:1 on our money and having many sixes it seems like a no brainer call to me.

NB - Good point from grocker about reading into stats with too small a sample, 11 hands is not enough to accurately assess a villain so assuming his range is super wide off of this is a mistake. I pointed out in a thread recently that I have played at tables before where after 80 hands I have a VPIP of 3%, and on other tables during the same session I've had a VPIP of 70%+.

Flop looks like a check raise to me. Villain's 3 bet size is wacky meaning he's likely bad too. No reason to slow play when there's a flush draw and straight draw out there.

River looks like a call. A bad player can easily overvalue Ak AA here, as well as some two pair combos, I would expect to see a flush here very rarely.
