I make every hand hard on myself
 

UTG is a pretty tight opener in EP and folds to most 3-bets (90% overall, forget how many in EP), so I figured I could kinda disguise my hand and play position. BB is shpanko, and I know he likes to make loose-ish calls from the blinds.

I've never seen shpanko take this line like ever.. so what's our play? Call, raise (to what amount), fold (lol?)? I couldn't decide what to do.. which I guess is why I should've considered 3-betting preflop.

i think this is always a call. if you raise, you lose the hands that you beat and have plenty of outs in position with more betting to be done on the river.

Re: I make every hand hard on myself
 

raising seems counterproductive

Re: I make every hand hard on myself
 

i like just calling and reevaluating river.

Okay, we're all in agreement there.. what's our bet size here? (We have $170ish left)

minimum of 100, maximum of all of it IMO

Re: I make every hand hard on myself
 

I think 85 gets looked up by any ace, which is nice since Ax cc is a decent chunk of his range. Don't see what else you're really gonna get value from. Call a shove ldo.

Edit: LOL, we have the Ac. 100 sounds good.

Re: I make every hand hard on myself
 

120, make it look like a busted draw, overbet if its believable as a bluff, ur line looks so much like a draw and it seems very unlikely u have a good hand given turn action or that the k improved ur hand given pf.

Re: I make every hand hard on myself
 

Take him to value town, 90-100 sound good?
