Default Semi-Bluff with no FE?

Client in the hand is your standard 52/8 beast. Client was fond of min raising c-bets, and donk min betting into pre-flop raisers.

Hero: 24/17 and had not tangled with client as of yet.

Hero has less than a PSB left on the turn. Who likes betting and who likes taking a free one in posish?

Given read on client, does anyone like just calling the flop min raise?

Comments on all streets appreciated.

shove or call flop, 3b is pointless. (if someone mentions balancing they're going on ignore [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

Yeah, I kinda like a shove here, even it being way bigger than pot - you'll get looked up by random crap like T9 more than you think. As played, I check it back. What makes you think he's going to fold whatever made hand he has now?

3bet size is bad, I make it atleast 44, do not like shove. As played, I'm taking a free card.

Don't we want random crap like T9 to fold here? The old letting villain make a mistake instead of getting it in when marginally in front. Let's do the math, wheeee:

Board: 9s 6d 3s
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 48.123% 48.12% 00.00% 5717 0.00 { T9s, T9o }
Hand 1: 51.877% 51.88% 00.00% 6163 0.00 { AsQs }

Pot is $25.50 after villain's minraise, we have $93.15 in our stack:

EV of shoving and getting called, by T9:
(.52*($25.50 (pot) + $87.15[villain's call])) + (.48*(-$93.15)) = $58.58 -$44.71 = $13.87

EV of shoving and villain folding:
$25.50 (pot)

I don't see a shove here because I think a normal raise (44 sounds about right) has more FE. If you feel you have no FE vs this specific villain then a call is best.

On turn I check behind. Most 50/8s don't like folding turn after calling a 3-bet on the flop in my experience.

Yeah, we do. I guess I was just trying to make the point that he doesn't only call with sets. I think there's a decent amount of FE and more than 25% actual equity if called.

I shove flop and think the burden of proof is on the people saying 3bet to 44 :P

I want the money in with good equity, flushcard often scares donks off even if they should be committed and I think vs donkish players the shove does not have less FE than betting 44.
