2400 ish in the pot, 8200 back in stacks

bet flop

3365 now

bet 1050 on turn, as played bet 1050 on river instead.

I'd go 1045 but def agree with betting turn.

Also wtf lildave in nlhe mtt shocker? Nice opr btw

i like betting big here, because if he has something to call with, we might as well let him hero some of his range too

he calls with like nothing if u bet 3365, cuz he never has anything more than a 1 pair hand. but yeah, as said, bet turn. Bet like 895 river as played.

so why wont he hero with 1 pair? - I obv disagree and do this alot - will post some up when I start playing again

I actually think you'd be better off checking back than overbetting the pot here it's that bad.

because the chances of hero overbet bluffing in this spot is <1%

makes it a great bet with our air then no?

we've literally never got air when we check back flop and turn on this dry a texture.

I prob bet 875 or 1010 on the river if I got here like this.

Won't be happening again.

this.

I dont see much point in discussing the flop, it's one of those where we bet it sometimes and chk it sometimes and it would defo be bad to have a stock where we ALWAYS bet, and ALWAYS check. I decided to check here.

As for the turn, I'm not 100% convinced we DEFO need to bet, I know we have to fold the river if he bets once we chk(but I doubt he's turning pairs that will never call us into bluffs) and we can no longer value bet but my problem with betting the turn is that I'm going to feel duty bound to bluff the river once I get called which seems quite risky and avoidable. I really think betting the turn and chking the river back is the nut low line. I defo see plenty of merit to a turn bet but im surprised so many people want it to be default in a tournament (but i have no clue :D)

The river though, a couple of people divided on this one, whilst no1 doubts that we have precious little air once we've not bet the A turn what can our villain possibly hero us with? he has just a handful of Qx's that can call assuming he bets most Ax's for value OTR. He has 66-TT prolly but v unlikely to call with those.

What I actually did was


pretty much instantly went all in.

 :D

Why would you not always bet that flop?

Did you type that you had JJ in chat?

 Literally putting you on JJ only when you jam river

This guy called though right? :D

Literally have no idea how to answer any more technically than because I have two jacks and there is a queen on the board.

and


I was going for the dubai style fake misclick :D literally did snap go all in. and no, ofc he folded it was a ridiculous bet lol
Just trying to guage what line everyone else would have taken with the sizing vs a calling range that barely exists :)
