100NL - 6 max - TPTK line

[str0kes]

Only ~30 hands on Villain so no reads effectively.

Just wondering is this line is standard? Any comments on any streets appreciated, thanks. Flop bet is weak right?


BB ($74.45)
EP ($19)
CO ($149.27)
Button ($141.95)
Hero ($124.62)

Flop bet is definitely too weak. There is a flush draw there so don't let them draw for free. I would bet at least $9.

The only draw got there on the turn, but he could still have KQ or KJ which you want value out of, but you also have the Ad giving you a redraw if he made his flush. I would probably check here because you would really hate to face a raise.

On the river, now you're behind KQ as well, which leaves KJ as the only hand you beat. I would probably try to check it down here, I don't know how often you get called with worse. I'd likely call a small bet and fold to anything bigger than half pot size.

this line isn't too bad since we hold the Ad, but i would bet a little more on flop. i might c/c the turn.

raise to 5BBs PF.

bet more on flop, like $10 here.
I C-C turn here. We have the NFD, don't want to get blown off a very good hand here and villain MIGHT bluff if he's bad. I'm basically playing for pot control here on the turn and river, but i'm a fish.

You need to bet more on the flop because your objective should be to take all of his 75 bb stack. Betting so small means that the only time you are going to get it all in is when he has a 5...

As played I really like a check call on the turn. The problem with betting is that tons of worse hands are folding. (Small-mid pocket pairs make up a sizable part of villains range IMO) Also we have the diamond redraw against a made flush. So check call the turn. If the river blanks (non diamond) I'm firing out a value bet because weaker hands will almost always check it behind, and his hand is almost never a bluff at this point. If he raises the river we can drop it pretty easily.

BTW- who folded after you raised and before the BB called???

Thanks for the advice guys,

Just spotted that, looks like the converter messed up. I was SB (Villain was SB) and the Button folded before me, all the positions seemed screwy after the hand conversion.
