hm, I can see why. lol.

I don't hate this actually, but I wouldn't make a habit of it against unknowns. I think draws make up a large part of his range on the river, so shoving probably isn't horrible. He can't have a set/straight/flush here, he definitely has something marginal that you might be able to push him off of.

So shove and watch him snap call JT. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

Well he is unknown, so you dont know about how good he is, but would u would not have bet turn so weak with 77/99/TT/T9/J8 etc.

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

looks very good. If he c/c off his stack you have a buddy.

(BTW the decision is made on the turn not the river)

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

when i do this I usually get called with top pair and medium kicked...players are so bad....sigh

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

The reason for the flop/turn sizing was to setup a decent-sized river shove FWIW.

lol...sadly I really do have to consider this. I swear I get no f'ing credit at Stars...ever.

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

Just judging by this hand this opponent isn't standard. You really aren't representing much with this hand, and villian has called on 2 streets. He's probably calling your river bet with anything other than a missed draw. I really don't think a lone Ah is a huge part of his range.

FWIW, I usually check behind on the turn. That 4 doesn't change anything and without a read that villan floats OOP the turn bet is a spew IMO.

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

They'll always put you on a missed draw.

Huh? The rest of your advice looks good...but I disagree completely that I'm not repping anything. JJ/QQ/KK/AA w/ a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], X[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T, set, flush, etc etc. There are a ton of hands I'd bet/bet/shove w/ here.

I probably didn't word that right. Villian doesn't believe you are representing a big hand, or is putting you on a missed draw.

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

i mean he cant really call here with anything except like 109 or something.. this seems ok whats his AF?

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

100% spew

he has 1 pair, a gutshot and maybe a medium heart

and hes snap calling river

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

doesnt look that bad IMO?

maybe just me being a fan of unbridled aggression though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

gonna be hella tough to call this down with AhTx...
or JhTx or w/e hand like that he likely has.

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

1/3 on the river folds out the A of hearts. i dont think the average player looks at his top pair here and says wow what a tough decision, more often than not we get called down by top pair here. i think a small riverbet accomplishes what we want. even if betting 1/3 the pot only wins us the pot 1/2 the time isnt that profitable?

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

meh, i would bet more on the flop and typically check turn vs. unknown.

Yeah...I just can't help myself sometimes. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

He ended up timing alllllllll the way down and calls w/ 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I think this works a good % of the time against an even somewhat thinking player but against an unknown at these limits...it's definitely spew. He ended up being like a 60/3...so at least I found a buddy.

Lol, thought this before even saw the hand

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

I like this 3 barrel against mediocre players. Against bad players and really good players it is spew imo.

Re: 3-barrels against an unknown...how spewy is this?
 

How could he fold T3s preflop??? There are just so many big hands it makes! Flush, 2 pair, trips, 1 pair of TENS!!!!!! And then he flops a dream... TEN HIGH. I couldn't lay it down either to someone who showed so much weakness...
