I have no idea what's going on postflop. Is preflop standard for you? I'd 3-bet.

This is the first thing I thought also. DB can profitable isolate the short stack with any two cards, so especially with a hand like ATo that doesn't play great post-flop for 150 BB's, I'm inclined to make it like 7K pre-flop and try to freeroll against the short stack.

what if benyamine is expecting this, and 4bets you very very light? that would be an extremely likely scenario, given:

a) how aggro benyamine is
b)it's obvious you want to isolate
c) now not only freerolling but free dead money to boot

i prefer a call with position given this likely possibility, imo.

5-bet?

You're not supposed to advertise in your location.

he raises pf tighter than he should here if anything... and most people think you can raise looser than you can (any 2 etc)

[spino1i]

I think this is one of those situations where he folds weaker hands and calls with better hands. I cant figure out whether this is a bluff or a value bet.

[Hensa]

if he folds all weakers T, it is simply bad

I am pretty sure he does know what it is, but just doesn't know if it's better than calling or not....

"I also thought that him knowing he would see my cards would make him fold a little more because of the curiousity factor."

This def works on me, id fold JJ+. the notion of bluffing with a made hand (with SDV) is very reluctant to me.

seconded

big problem here tho is just bc nezzar/me would (POSSIBLY) fold JJ, the absolute value of hands (QQ less likely, KK even more less liekly, AA NEVAH!) means there is a small gray area of hands that POSSIBLY fold..

really id call this river, although the bluff sure is interesting.

ABSOLUTELY, Benyamines range is much tighter preflop than it should be here. That combined with the postflop action makes me think you are usually beat... excluding the possibility of a push, I'm not sure if calling is higher EV than folding. I would probably call though. No comment on the push.

Isn't Benyamine a huge calling station?
