Theres like 35ish in teh pot.

Definitely a decent turn/river combo to barrel, don't think that I'd overbet though seems a bit unnecessary

Thought process in play was that his range was 6x, but mostly 8x, with someeeeetimes, 9x which was a draw that rivered a pair. I thought because I am generally pretty aggro and the king is a good barrelling card that I would get called v.often if I bet 2/3.

I dont thiink ur polarised here, any K is golden and ud Vbet a 9 aswel, agree he has 8/6 always depends if he has his sheriffs hat on :)

Id never bet 1.3x pot with a one pair hand tho?

If ur range here is 2p hands + or bluffs this is a very easy call for an 8 imo

like. dont think u look polarised either.

Yeah, wish I hadn't used the ord polarised, as its given off a different thought process than what I was actually thinking. Just think I can get a whole load to fold for 1.3x pot that would snap off 2/3 pot.

You probably shouldn't have a range for bet bet overbetting and a range for bet bet betting. You're basically splitting your range and it's very easy for an observant opponent to play against. This spot should occur fairly often in a hunl game so it's not all that hard to observe.

I am a bumhunter, I have 4 sites open with tonnes of tables and I get tonnes of action so stupid to play people who are even close to breakeven when so many fish are sitting so I don't think that bad players would observe this too much.

I think in a spot where villain's range is pretty much entirely bluff catchers, you want to be widen ur range to as many value hands as possible, 9x's/Kx's good 8s etc.

So it answer to the OP i think its a bad spot to polarise, its a good spot to have as wider value range as possible 

and sigh

Yeah fair enough, I mean it's fine to do this if you think it will work against this particular opponent for whatever reason. I just don't like showing this down if I'm playing a tough player regardless of if I have nuts/air. I guess -8bb/100 wouldn't be classed as tough.

Why so Mr.Nicho? I like money. I have 16 tables up with people sitting allll the time, I'm only playing wo tables though, why play Mr.Reg when Mr.Italiano wants to 5x some buttons and limp others?

gotttta love the italians.....
