NL10 J9s

Posted 8 years ago

Hi guys I'm new here and would like some advice on a recent hand I played.

Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players

CO: $10.30 (VPIP: 23, PFR: 20, AFq:60 , Hands: 30)
Hero (BTN): $10.40

SB: $10.00
BB: $10.17
UTG: $10.20
MP: $5.45

Pre Flop: ($0.15) - Hero is BTN with 9h Jh
2 folds, CO raises to $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.65) 4c Js 3c (2 players)
CO bets $0.45, Hero calls $0.45

Turn: ($1.55) 7s (2 players)
CO bets $1.20, Hero calls $1.20

River: ($3.95) As (2 players)
CO bets $2.55, Hero calls $2.55

Villain shows 8c6c

Main question is do I beat enough of his range to profitably call here?

PF: I like calling IP.

F: I believe calling is fine. Quite a few flush and straight draws out there. But also overpairs that he might be betting for protection against draws and middle pairs like 99's etc.

T: I think calling here is still okay-ish. He might still double barrel a lot with his draws, but also overpairs for protection.

R: With his polarised line he shouldn't bluff too wide here. But he shouldnt bet his AX type hands that much either. If he bets, he should only bet small to get value from weaker pairs but thats it. Especially with some draws on the board that might got there, when the BDFD arrives as well. Tough spot but I'd probably find a fold far more often here on the river.

Pre flop is a 3bet or fold with J9s, I don't think the hand plays that well and if the SB/BB squeezes we're going to have to fold.

Another reason I don't like calling is because even if we flop top pair we don't really know where we are and could be losing to better Jx hands. I would go ahead and fold the turn, river is 100% fold not getting 3 barreled bluffed at these stakes often.

Hand plays great and makes a good call imo.

Anyway, postflop plan should be to call 2 streets and then fold the river. Calling the triple barrel will nearly always be a mistake at these limits. We'll sometimes win of course, but villain won't be bluffing enough for us to profitably call with any bluffcatcher.

I like the line until the river.Micro stakes players won't 3 barrel bluff on the river frequently enough to make it a profitable call.

Pre flop I like the call versus an unknown CO open. Here villain looks reggish and you should have enough opportunities for some bluff raises on the flop against an opponent who likely has a fold button. 3 betting works too, but why bluff with a hand which makes a profitable call?

I think calling preflop and flop is fine.

Turn I'm ok and feeling ok about it but river I wont call because I don't think 3 barrel bluffs are common enough at n10 and I think a player would chk/c their Ax one pair hands a lot on that river runout.

I'd play it call/call/fold. Probably on a non-ace river I'd call again though.
