Tres mas

Figure I will try and post a few hands of interest every morning.

Hand 1: The old XF?


$0.50/$1 No Limit Holdem • 5 Players

Generated by weaktight.com.

UTG$225.50
CO$141
BTN$195.20
SB$132.85
Hero$121
  • Pre-Flop ($1.50, 5 players)Hero is BB
  • hQ cA
1 fold, CO raises to $3.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $2.50

Villain is a mas multi tabler playing 23/19 and folds to 3bets a ton. I opt to flat because of that. Thoughts?
  • Flop ($7.50, 2 players)
  • c8 c9 d6
Hero checks, CO bets $5.50, Hero folds


Villain cbets a ton too. I think a XR is decent here but I always level myself in these spots thinking he shouldnt cbet here unless he has a hand because I wouldnt often. Should I just man up and XR?
  • Final Pot: $13
  • CO wins $12.15 (net +$3.15)
  • Hero lost $3.50


Hand 2: Bad fold?


$0.50/$1 No Limit Holdem • 5 Players

Generated by weaktight.com.

UTG$33.60
CO$105.30
BTN$108.80
Hero$103
BB$136.95
  • Pre-Flop ($1.50, 5 players)Hero is SB
  • cA cK
UTG raises to $3.50, CO raises to $6, 1 fold, Hero calls $5.50, 1 fold, UTG calls $2.50

Complete unknown min 3bets which is down right scary imo. Not sure I can do anything but flat.
  • Flop ($19, 3 players)
  • d8 sK h4
Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets $19, Hero calls $19, UTG folds

Not many better flops for my hand.
  • Turn ($57, 2 players)
  • dT
Hero checks, CO bets $57, Hero folds

I know this looks really tight but given his preflop action I think this is the right play. Flame away.
  • Final Pot: $114
  • CO wins $110.65 (net +$28.65)
  • Hero lost $25
  • UTG lost $6

Hand 3: Call down?





$0.50/$1 No Limit Holdem • 6 Players

Generated by weaktight.com.

UTG$118.64
UTG+1$50.30
CO$115.67
Hero$100
SB$19
BB$249.35
  • Pre-Flop ($1.50, 6 players)Hero is BTN
  • dQ dK
UTG calls $1, 2 folds, Hero raises to $5, 2 folds, UTG calls $4
  • Flop ($11.50, 2 players)
  • hJ sK d7
UTG bets $11.50, Hero calls $11.50

Easy call
  • Turn ($34.50, 2 players)
  • s9
UTG bets $34.50, Hero calls $34.50

Here QT gets there but he can still be monkey betting with worse Kx or random BS.
  • River ($103.50, 2 players)
  • s3
UTG bets $67.64, Hero calls $49

At this point seems like an easy call.

Hand 1: Flatting is good because you keep in dominated Aces and Queens, but 3etting is good because it gives you the initiative and if you 3bet often he will start defending with hands that you dominate in large pots.
Post flop I think it's a bad flop to check raise just because to cbet that texture people usually have something. It just hits so many hands and if he peels you feel obligated to bet again but you will be lost on a variety of different cards.
I just c/f.

Hand 2: You prob have the same hand. I might 3bet him and then it's possible you can fold to a shove, I personally wouldn't it's a 100bb and we are suited. Post flop flops fine and I guess if there was a time to make a tight fold this would be it. Again I wouldn't.

Hand 3: I think i'd fold the turn. QT got there; T8 got there. KJ; JJ; 77 were already there and we beat KT and split with KQ. I think he might lead the flop with AT, but he prob only doubles with a flush draw and so that kind of hand has a ton of outs anyway. Anyway I doubt he pure bluffs here and so I fold the turn.
