even on a pretty bad board to 3barrel a fish it's prob still profitable. I can't remember the last time i 2barreled a fish.

dont mind this as long as you think he believes you & doesnt have a flush

im about 99% he doesnt have a flush he would have at least thought for a bit on the turn instead of instaturbocalling, if he belives me or not is hard to tell, didnt really play a hand with him prior to this

if he never folds to 4-bets i'd 3-bet to $36 or so

as played uhhh... i hate this

from what you suggested earlier, this is a fit or fold fish, the fact that he didnt fold the flop means he fit (or making a steam float), considering how often he has folded to other players hes looking to give it away, only way I think he folds if he has something like KJo, QJo, KQo with a diamond which missed the river, dont think we are folding out a pair ever

looks like a pretty good spot to 2barrel but give up once the river bricks

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a 1 and done, or commit to 3?

I feel like barreling 2 is the worst option here

Mainly for everything tt stated, he not folding any pair to anything less than 3 barrels and most likely folds air on the flop

I just feel that the turn bet is profitable in isolation given our equity and his wide range.Once we get to this river its a new spot entirely because we didnt construct the hand in a way that a turn bet sets up a profitable river bet and we can go ahead and give up (or check bluffcatch if were feeling crazy). Most of the time its pretty bad to 2barrel and give up but this seems like a rare case in which it might be the better line, altho I dont think firing again on the river is that horrible fwiw.

Would really hate to 2 barrel and than give up just feels like burning money i^d rather bet flop an be done. You might be right that in this hand it would an ok play.

I kinda felt that on the river he has a lot of very weak hands that have a diamond, A2-A5s wie Ad in there 7d5 8dx etc with which he always calls the turn, i doubt he did any handreading. His thought process would go like "i have 4-5th pair there is a a flush and overcards i foldz".

Damn table ninja sometimes stops me from thinking, obv i should have raised a lot bigger pre :-)

Thx for your help guys.

RESULTS: Villian tanks and calls with 99, the fact that he tanked makes me feel a little better about it. He might have foldet 3x or 5x hands here.

lol fuck he tanked w 99? then you had a shitton of fold equity imo.

in general I wouldn't advocate bluffing a fish but of course there's exceptions as some fish fold a little too often cuz well...they're fish ;o

agreed

Also there's nothing wrong with betting the flop but I check here a good amt vs a fish. I find most are just content to check down when they whiff the flop

Seems awful, if he's a fish, he'll never fold the turn if he called the flop I think.

since when is a guy with 42% vpip a semi fish?

I don't like this board to make a profitable 3 barrel vs a fish, it connect some draws every street, and it's difficult for fishes fold top pair, or even a pair like 77/99 I think that's possible wait for better spot to take all his money. Don't despair.
