Hard for him to have 8x given flop action he should be raising and a double barrel from me is likely to be minimum AQ and the rest being high equity hands like JTss etc, Sets or OPs.

So when he calls, I have assigned his range to KQ/AQ/77/88/ 99-JJ and NFD!

Half of this range I expect to fold on the turn, being KQ/AQ 99-JJ given my range has become even narrower and seeing as we have no read on villian, these are all just assumptions that he is competent somewhat!

Combinations of 88's seems mathematically unlikely after he calls turn, so now it's 77/AQ perhaps or KQ being stubborn or just a naked FD!

Now the river brings me a FH and all Qx make a smaller FH, so I feel bet sizing seems pretty fine, maybe got a little bit smaller to induce Qx to shove for value and we snap off.

When he raises, can someone suggest a raise value range for villain given 350bb deep and 1st orbit. I ruled out QQ because he flatted original raise from Villain pre and again when I 5x bb w AA. Its hard to assume he would play QQ that way, so it leaves 8x and 77

Not sure if this is totally std or find a fold on river as his value range is just nuts 100%

At this buy in level it's a cooler. You're beat a lot but not often enough to fold. 3-bet bigger pre.

I like the bet sizing pre. I think you played it fine. Super cooler

50p

This, although I wouldn't be potting flop and turn

465 on the flop 1234 ott 2222 on the end. This run out is really cold. ul.

flop bet seems too big. 2/3 pot plenty. like sizing pre, and the way it runs out its massively cold, ul, move on.

Having played over a million hands online, the cooler is just std, I just find there is always room for improvement in every spot, so was just questioning myself as to whether or not I could find a fold!

Sizing imo ott is just too big after some reflection on my session, should be 870 max~ as we still want draws to chase!

you played 1m hands and you didnt realise that the other hand is a call. seems like a bogus account.

Times change and this has been over a stretch of 4years. Only really been playing serious 4-5 months on a stake, and yes most spots come up often enough, but my play might not always be the std! hence the query!
