DEEP 10/20 at Commerce hand - Page 2

gruzerz, its definitely hugely exploitable to be folding a hand this strong, but luckily our opponent would never in a million years expect us to fold 333 here so playing a GTO strategy here would be wrong.

well, the reason calling with a small pocket here is ok is because there are a few players in between who could end up having a very wide range of hands and if we get it in vs them for 50-200bb we are ecstatic. and we are being offered pretty ridiculous pot odds since there are a few callers. if this was a situation where the 15k competent player raised and it folded to us in the sb then i would almost certainly just fold and avoid playing oop 600bb deep.

and yes this could be considered a dream flop, but if we shove and he calls do you think we are >25% vs his range? assuming we are 25% we are just lighting money on fire, youre 25% in a 24k pot which means youre just donating 6k. if he folds 50% to our shove then you are still losing close to 1500 each time this hand plays out. i dont really like the sound of that.


i personally think leading the flop is a much better idea. if the deep player raises then call and check call the turn, keeping the pot smaller vs him, and choosing to inflate the pot vs the shallower players.

Reading all this makes me feel so good

jesus what kind of deep stack players are you guys playing against, we're probably 60-70% against your average super deep player's range at a 10-20 game. esp a game that's going on during LAPC tournament series. What a bunch of nits. You see 30k pots all the fucking time where player A has AQo and the other guy has bottom two and gets it in and it holds. Just look at the guy and get a read on him and stack him or fold depending on if he looks like he's about to have a heart attack or not.

Lead the flop. It will give you more control over the pot size, allowing you to get it in vs the shorter stacks and check call vs the deep stack.

i agree with this

leading the flop is probably best. i think c/c flop (if you get to checks around, him betting) is about a millionx better than c/r when he only has 3500, its 5 way and your the next to act + sb. once everyone folds you can lead some turns or check/raise (or c/c) depending on if hes an attacker or really what his deal is.

plus sometimes someone else will c/c an ace too and thats more money in the pot - and if it gets to 3way+ on the turn id generally always lead turn

Daut,I suppose if we get it in on this flop this deep we can't expect to get called by alot worse(maybe A8 or AJhh+),but since in your 1st post u write u have nothing against folding flop,I was quite confused

Now it all makes sense and the line u suggested is clearly superiour.Tnx

i see a dumb scared kid trying to win a pot and/or find out where hes at

minraise it back, FIND OUT WHERE YOU'RE AT

best post. i really like this logic a lot. i personally lead a tonnn in my live game when there are fish involved. to isolate them, protect in situations where flops might get checked back. other reasons too i can't think of atm. in multiway pots its really important to imo. Also i guess a benefit is you decide the pot size like lyrics said. So you can prevent the pot from going to a 3bet spot where you dont want it to by making sure that it only goes to a single reraise most of the time. We really want 4 bets with this hand over the course of all 3 streets, imo. Most of the time anyway, i can see stacking off vs fish for more than that. But aside wierd dynamics i would say that we have all our options open with leading and also garanteed control without having to take it away from someone later in the hand.

wh00sel is accurate re: the ranges shown down in big pots between regs in these games

lol no he isnt. That's only the stories you hear and those hands are usually vs the massive fish who don't care about money. Most of the "wild action" comes from the stacks that sit 2k deep, that are dumb regs that will show up w really goofy ranges trying to bluff you with retarded lines because they don't have much sitting in front of them. Also that has nothing to do w this hand, just assume villan is your very competent internet player.

I kinda just wanna know: as played what do people do with a set here? Since I'm actually not hero in this hand, I'm just curious as to what people will do w a set here.

It would depend on live reads, but I don't mind folding. Escalating this pot against a good player with a huge stack out of position was a fairly large error, and folding might be the best way out.

I wouldn't fault him for calling and checking the turn either.

i dont really mind the c/r that much if you think you can get full value out of AK or 2p when it bricks, which you probably can based on your image in this game. however his reraising range and calling range are MUCH different IMO and this turns into a WA/WB situation vs AA or random air/random hearts with the latter part of the range being very unlikely. TBH if he's going to tank for a minute and then put in this raise he should have a turn plan, and if I were him my most likely turn plan if you checked is to bet blank turn and shove blank river no matter what I had because you can never have AA. There is not really a good alternative here and based on all the action that happened on the flop I'd probably fold.

This is my advice, but in reality I would never fold, so u assholes better not exploit me.

lol i didnt even notice this, this goes from probably a fold to a SNAP FOLD

Oh snap, I thought the villain was the cbettor. Yeah I like ur line and I like a fold vs the cold checkraise over checkraise.
