soap c/r
 

CP 30/60

background: utg is 2p2er soap and sb is drunken business man who is a complete goon and does not understand the game

utg raises
hero 3-bets 99
folds to sb who 4-bets
utg calls
hero caps

3 of us to the flop... KJ9r... sb bets, utg 2, hero 3, sb call, utg 4, hero 5

turn 2 (no flush draws out)

check to hero who fires, sb calls, utg c/r, hero...?

interested in the 3-bet and cap preflop as well as turn spot...

all comments appreciated

that's all i need to know. i give him a lift to 3 town. i don't ever slow down here against these types. ever.

Re: soap c/r
 

uuu, there is another player in this hand. I mean, i guess there are 4 hands soap can have. Ak, AA, KK, or JJ. You 5 bet the flop and he still c/r both of you, that strongly discounts AK. I am not good enough to fold this, but I sure as heck don't 3-bet.

Re: soap c/r
 

you 5-bet preflop and 5-bet the flop and he doesn't care. if you're thinking about 3-betting here either you have a fantastically laggy image or villain has no idea what he's doing

Re: soap c/r
 

a few qualifiers, i am quite laggy compared to most live players

also, i think soap caps JJ and KK every time in this spot... i think QTs, KJs and a very discounted JJ make up his range...

my rationale behind 3-betting the turn was that the sb almost always has 4 outs to his gut shot and in this large of a pot i want to do everything i can to protect my hand (if i am ahead)...

i hope that helps give the conversation some direction

Re: soap c/r
 

he has JJ, dont three bet

Re: soap c/r
 

your play preflop is very meh too

Re: soap c/r
 

I don't like the flop 5-bet, I probably would have called the 4 and then raised most turns.

You're not sure if you're ahead or behind on the flop, but raising the turn gives you the best shot at protecting your hand against SB and to represent something that only the near-nuts is going to 3-town.

turn action is wrong:
i CR'd the flop, shipit 3-bet, sb called, i 4 bet, shipit caps.

imo, capping pf is terrible. sb is is retarded, but even retards get 99+ every now and then. you're at best 50/50 vs my range.

I was thinking the same. Unless this guy is super spazzy I am hating 99 in this spot. I was thinking that you wouldnt even cap JJ here.
