Having said that i probably fold in game lol

He's incredibly polarized here and i'm gonna call. He's going to have airballs way way more often than a boat and that's all the maniac is repping. With his image i imagine he'd barrell down with a strong hand rather than take this weird line, so as played i'm sold and i'm calling.

What George said

Your preflop play is awful, now you're in this spot shove all in

ok. tell me why it was awful, that would be more helpful

Firstly it's a way too shallow a stack to get creative, ~40-50bb's is a little more ideal as a minimum as it gives you some manouverability post, here as you can see you're left with none. 3b bigger pre if you're going to do it and perhaps pick a hand that won't flop as bad as 56o generally does

Your preflop play is awful. Shove now you're here

If he did have a flush I felt it wasn't super strong, as I think most meh regs raise the flop with the nut draw.

I guess I could bet like quarter pot on the turn and get the same info as I did with a half pot bet, but this might give me enough FE on the river to make the small flush fold out enough times to make the river shove profitable. My line would stink of a nut flush too, assuming he's a thinker.

forget all that mate, bluffing weak regs live is just a terrible idea full stop let alone bluffing them off flushes. Generally, the most i'll try and bluff them off is Ahigh, or very weak pairs, they just don't fold. You played it fine, I'd maybe even bet a little bigger on the turn, perhaps 2/3 pot, he wont fold Ax or a FD.

If he's really bad then you can put a tiny value/blocker bet on the river to get paid by Ax but not vs anyone halfdecent.

This. The blocker bet is an option, something like 2k but i think with stacks and lack of a decent read i prefer check/folding.

2200-2600 pre. Think i'm check/folding the river

dont you just raisecall if they're a loose 3bettor and fold if they're tight?

this. your actions are always player dependent.

In live £1-2 where most regs don't have a light 3bet range 99-JJ is a snap muck. QQ is closer.

If you're checking surely you're check/folding the flop to UTG right?

I can't see how you think leading out is a good idea. I really can't.

What hands are we hoping to get value from?

You have to be check/folding to OR. But there's additionally 2 other people in the pot who can call with worse A's/draws/KQ who knows...but this is definitely a spot where you can donk for value + protection and it's far superior to checking imo

Personally i think OP played this hand fine.

Against villian described i'd like to get him to put all his chips in with Jx. If he's tarping with a better hand gg but it's unlikely, you'll be good here a lot more than you won't for sure

Folding is fine, you need to be right a way high percentage of the time and i don't see it.

Betting the flop is good imo. What makes you think it's so terrible?

If UTG raise, we?

If UTG raises and we flat and he barrels turn and river are we just c/c?

If UTG raises do we 3b the flop? If he 4bs do we fold?

Donking the flop OOP inflates the pot and makes it so much harder to play our hand.

^^ That's not a very good analysis on why we shouldn't bet the flop

This doesn't look like a board that the OR is going to be cbetting very often. OP is betting his hand for value (as the point of poker is to win money not to pot control), our hand is likely best and there are worse possible hands which'll call so i don't get your thought process. Taking the initiative >>>>> c/calling >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> results orientated replies

Being that everyone is one AIP away from busto/screwed i'm not shoving too overly wide here with ~12bb's. Something like 66+,ATo,KTs.

Doesn't this make it a way better reason to jam than to be nitty?  I very much doubt I ever fold a pair or suited ace here

Definitely some merit to not busting first here
