Most consider this pretty good.

At this limit however, I dont really think I fold an overpair in this situation and 3 bet shove the turn. You will see TPxk enough IMO.

Interesting. I think I need to go through all my hands and investigate these kinds of hands more. I probably fold the river here against a .7 AF villain most of the time, unless I have been playing very aggro against them (which is true enough of the time that I end up getting it in on the turn here about half the time). I feel much better when they check-call 3 streets than when they start min-raising. Against more aggro players I'm always getting it in.

thank you for the feedback. maybe i am paying too much attention to pokertracker stats. i didn't think he'd play TPTK that aggressively with an AF of 0.7.

bad beats make you think funny [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You need to raise more preflop (in position) and limp less, speaking on your stats overall.

Also need to cbet more and I'm guessing get more aggressive with your strong draws (pair+flush/OESD, OESFD, etc). Those stats are too nitty.

Cant really be a bad beat if you dont know what he had [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Hand seems way too nitty. my line would be..

Pre flop raise to .40, Flop pot it, turn pot then 3-bet shove.

never said it was a bad beat. i had had a few bad beats prior to this hand and thus MAY have played this hand weak.
