6Max line check needed, several points in question...

[Damani311]

Not sure if calling preflop was the right thing (trying to make set obv. since we were both deep stacked...)

He was 23/15/.5, so was calling preflop good/bad against those numbers?

After it checked around on the flop and i made the low end of straight on turn, i made a blocking bet with the intention of checking behind on the river if called....good/bad? Does this play beat checking behind on turn and calling a small river bet?

Third point, short ass stack calls the turn bet, and instashoves the river....what to do? I didn't have a read on him......what do you guys think?

Calling pf is what you should do. Also, top up to 100 mate.
The turn bet is fine imo as their is a flush draw out there and it has been checked to you. The sb is a little pain in the bum though for not reraising the turn with his 9, it makes you want to call.

bet more on turn and snapcall river

[pureklas]

I dont know why u snap call the river. i dont know if you noticed but villain is a standard Tag, with aggro factor of 0.5. Most definitely beat here. He even flat called with his 9 to seee if he geta another player to tag along.

I call here, would be tougher if he had a bigger stack left on the river. You're probably beat, but every once in a while he's gonna show you a brilliantly slowplayed set or 2p.

Now that's a funny one!

And yeah .. call the river.

[Fingerswinger]

this confuses me.
who's deepstacked? leveling? wtf? are you a shortstacker?

preflop call is fine because he raised UTG and doesn't have a terribly wide range and you have position on him and his aggression factor looks really bad.

your bet on the turn is for value (UTG looks like a station). i'd probably bet $9, instacall river.

lol, ok

[TheKitbag]

I like it although i'd bet more on the turn. you get 3-1 on the river and i'm sure you're good once in 4 here, probably more
