NL200: I has dem aces

[chinz]

Poker hand played on unknown network with a pot size of $416 - Pokerhand.org

I have no reads on villain, but he was playing 32/21/0.7 (over only 20 hands). With potsize bet left on that awful turn, would check-folding be too weak-tight?

I almost timed down, but then decided to shove. I figured that since he was the second one to call me preflop, he still could have hands like QT or KT in his range... and I do have decent equity against two pair hands with gutshot+overpair.

This hand is gross. I probably play it the same because the turn is a good barrel card for you, so I would hope that he would be thinking enough to know that and call it off light.

I don't know how wise it would be for the villain to call with a pair plus open ender, assuming he thinks taht we have a hand. How much equity does such a draw add anyway on the turn? There is no money behind so that villain can get paid more when he hits.

Hmm I think I'm betting more than that on the flop, but that guys calling anyway unfortunately. Ugly turn card. Fits so many 2 pair and only really puts you ahead of TT. I might c/c the turn and c/f the river. But when those aces show up its hard to fold, I might shove in the same spot a good percentage of the time, but we're only getting called when we're beat and what worse hands are really calling us here?

the bet sizing on the flop seems big in a 3 bet pot. I guess it makse sense 3 way, though. You are almost always betting for value in a 3 way pot so it's okay to have a larger bet size, I guess?

I dont see many hands you're ahead of calling the turn.
I'd check behind the turn & shove if he checks river; fold to a shove if he shoves but call a 1/2 pot bet or less.

Yeah. When I'm 3betting against UTG and cbetting against him and a coldcaller, I don't see any real reason to bet any smaller, it's not gonna affect their range that much.
