3 bet to 3333 pre and call a shove imo.

As played i would check call the turn, we are way ahead/way behind his range apart from the small bits of his range that are flush draws. Check the river and sigh.

re-raise pre

cant see how you're winning on the river, something yucky, wouldnt be surprised to see him show A high FD

Cheers, should have raised pre, must have had a moment!

I checked the river, he bet 6.3k and I folded.   Annoyingly he showed the missed FD with J9s

I like the call pre, i hate the flop bet, what are you doing on the turn if he raises, why do you check fold the river?

the flo bet is fundamentally bad graham m8 without history and knowing opponent.

at this level with these stacks you like the flat pre from BB?

hmmm, mistakes obv made.  I figured if I don't lead out on the flop, I'm probably going to check/fold and I didn't want too yet and I thought I was ahead at this point.  I lead out on the turn for the same reason I think, I didn't think about it enough.   The ace on the river wasn't nice to see and I automatically assumed he had one.

I'll get there.

Yeah for sure, what is the benefit of the RR?

You think you are probably ahead so why would you check fold? I really don't get that, you flat called pre so your hand is right at the top end of your range, your opponent has no idea you are this strong, not only that he will VB worse hands!

So on the turn what do you do if he raises?

What Ax hand does he have to call a flop and turn bet?

I've been thinking about it and I'm not sure.   I need to think about it more in game.  I feel all rushed and do things without thinking them through properly.

Prob why I sucked at cash tbh.

what is the benefit of the reraise

It's a $10 multi, you dont have to go out of your way to disguise your hands or mix up your play, flatting pre just makes a tricky hand OOP even trickier on the flop.

what Ax does he have to call a flop and turn bet

unknown oppos range in a $10 multi is so huge i'm not surprised by any holding inc an Ace and all sorts of other shit hands that have us crushed by the river, most of the time i think we're beat here.

id never fold the river if I played the hand like this. You are playing it like this for a reason!
