100NL How to play a few BIG draws....
 

Villain here is 24/11 over about 100 hands. He hasn't done anything remarkable yet, hasn't played any/many big pots. What's may play here on the turn?

What's his range here and what's my play against it?

Minraise makes me waffle, but tbh i dont really know what hand is calling the flop and thrn betting the turn other then

1) hes trying to float you out of position
2) he picked up a draw (unlikely given his pf stats)
3) is protecting an AJ type of hand (meh)
4) has teh goods (AA KK)

This looks like a float, calling then betting a pretty nuetral card. Maybe he has a TT type of hand, but prob would of checked it to be honest, i see this option as a decent chance.

Draw doesnt really make sense unless he raised KQ as yourself, in which case he isnt calling a push.

AJ somewhat makes sense, he liked his hand on the flop but not a lot, now he still has tptk and is firing off a bet, i think this is likely.

i dont think this is AA/KK, i dont see him calling the minraise without repopping.

So in summary, probably AJ, possibly a draw, possibly an overpair, and perhaps a TT/JJ set. Its not a 22/66 set from his pfr raise numbers, and only an overpair is calling your all in. (Also somewhat unlikely cause you have a K and a Q).

Cliffnotes, have fold equity, a very strong draw, and his story doesnt make sense. Shovament.

I'm not convinced on the flop minraise.

I think we are behind on the turn for sure. However we are probably at least 30%, so if there is any decent chance he will fold, then I would push here. If villain is not capable of folding, I will just call here with our many outs.

ps I haven't actually done the maths

Hehe, ok let me clarify. I minraised because:

a) I did think he'd read it as a sign of strength and still think he may have
b) I didn't really want him to fold because I wanted to win a big pot
c) I wanted to make it easy for him to 3-bet if he wanted to, helping me determine how strong he was (at which point I would have shoved)

I usually put it all in here and miss, though I dont think thats the best play [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'd prolly just call the flop bet though
