A couple of seats along with Jc Qc we:

Flop comes: J T 8 r (no clubs)

Checks to us and we:

A) Check
B) Bet 35
C) Bet 51

We bet 51 and are called by just the SB. Pot is 177.

Turn comes the  Ahrt which is a second heart.

Villain checks, we:

A) Check
B) Bet 95
C) All in for c200

We check. River is the 3h.

Villain bets 125.

We??

Played it fine, too strong of a hand to 3b and no reason to 3b an utg+1 raiser. Flop fine, maybe a little big but i see no problems with it.

Turn is ok, i think you'll still be in front so maybe it is a bet, but its hard to see what worse hands call and a 9x hand might bluff the river.

River is a call i think, i cant see how he has an ace and backdoor hearts/flopped straight are your only real concerns as all 2pair+ hands prob raise flop

No point giving us options then just saying what happened lol, sb stack ?

Fair point, figured I would stick it all in one post rather than release street by street.

SB covers.

as played fold.

I'd chk the flop in a vacuum but betting is fine, if there is a club on the board im way more likely to bet.

mmmm, like that extra 4% makes it really close?

I think I might even just fold pre readless, but as played I just try and get to showdown cheap, prolly have to fold this river.

Backdoor flush draws are super important when you're deep.

Fold pre? Are u mental?

we're 90bb 'deep' tho? and my point was that 4% extra equity shouldn't really make you 'much more likely' to bet flops, right?

and yeah, against an unknown in a complete vacuum I might just fold pre. Anything that suggests that 3 other players will come along, or that utg+1 is opening semi-light will make me call ofc. I'm not saying fold is my standard, but from the info given I think fold a) has to be an option and b) isn't mental.

folding pre to a 5x raise 90bbs deep is definitely not out of the question

If your folding pre with 90 bigs snap reload 1k more big blinds so you never have to fold such pretty hands pre again

ja, this is fine ofc.

Think folding pre with 90bbs is probably 'correct'.

But those cards are right next to each other and have the same shape in the corner.

As played I figured he's showing up with a 9 on the end a lot of the time assuming (correctly) I didn't like the ace...and called.

He had AJ, which figures.

well basically, when spots are close like this we have to randomize our decision making somehow, as in we chk the flop a certain % and bet a certain %, so for me I always choose times with backdoor equity to take a more aggressive option

+1

Don't fold pre, fold now though. He has AJ lol

Fold pre 90bigs deep vs a 5x for me

not a great fan of pre, might shove turn sometimes if hes never folding 9x. yeah fkit if shove turn.
