We have  Aspades   Kh OTB, 5 handed - all players are 200bb+ deep

Folded round, we raise to 60p (20nl), SB 3 bets to £2,

BB Calls

We 4 bet to £5.60, looking back reckon this is 2 small.

Both players call. Pot is £18.60

Flop Kd 6d Qh

Checks round to us. I could check here a good amount of the time I guess.

We bet £9, sb folds, bb jams. It's £29 for us to call.

At first I thought it was a good fold. But with the Diamonds, could also have a flush draw.

Reads; Player plays 2 /3 tables, sometimes they play 20nl, sometimes 50nl, sometimes 100/200nl, really eratic the buy in's played.

Never really noticed them much/ had any bother at the tables from them. Never seen them jam a draw, or seen them jam the flop ever.

So not great reads, just hated this spot.

I would like to flat the 3b here a lot and hope one of the blinds value town themselves against us.

4b won't get any folds at this size definitely bigger ~£8 if you're intending to take it down pre or get HU

villain can have all broadway/flush combo draws, KK,QQ,KQ and Qx FD's
66 will always lead out so never bottom set.

Considering villains erratic buyin levels it's sounds like a combo draw more than a made hand. Gl if you want to spin I think you have to call.

I'd deffs be thinking its about 55/45 here in our favour ftw

I think you should never be using AK as part of your b/f range here otf

Thanks Oxford,

Yeah probably is a call, at the time (player tendencies at this level) and never having seen anything like this before from this player, I felt it was a fold.

But it doesn't really make sense. I was thinking he had 66, qq, KQ, AK - outside chance of AA - with the jam highly doubt it's KK.

You would never expect him to jam a set and miss out on value, KQ would seem the most likely or AK of the hands above.

Never thought about it at the time, don't have a lot of time to think!, AdQd would be played this way (Aced 10d??). Possibly JdQd too don't know if he has many other flush draws.

It's a tough one.

Yeah rare to jam the nuts here but it happens, people can scare themselves into c/r shoving huge to get JT and flush draws to fold, they just don't want to see any scary cards and justify it.

But I believe because villain plays 20-200nl he is a lot more gamble orientated therefore will most likely have Qx fd's 9Tdd J9dd JQdd JTdd ATdd AQdd AJdd ect if I've missed any, rather than a made hand. Villain should always call here with these hands but I think he most likely is jamming them for the fun of flopping such a pretty hand.

Flatting and 4bettiing both have there merits. I think your 4bet size is fine. On this flop, I hate bet folding. I would actually have quite liked a pot controlling check back. If you want to bet I would bet smaller. I think a 1/3 pot bet will be just as effective, and is easily balanced by our sets
