3/6 Kill Live No excuse for the PF Play!!

[ItzMrFish2U]

It's a kill pot I'm on the button.
Reads: Killer is SB (weak player) BB is preparing to fold. UTG is new player that just posted for the kill pot)

I call, yup I did it.

I knew where I stood in the hand and was needing some help on the river.

Probably lots of criticism coming for this hand. But that's the only way to learn. So let's have it, please list my mistakes.

I don't hate the PRF/Call at all.

With the turn reraise, what do you put UTG on? I think that an overpair is way more likely than a set, straight, or better two pair. I'd cap the turn.

Assuming you capped the turn and he still led out when the A fell on the river, I would probably just call.

Eh? So we can put in more money with the worst hand? If villain has an overpair we have ~15 outs and need to hit to win. If villain has any of the other hands you mention, we have fewer outs.

FWIW, I have mixed feelings about the turn raise, but in general I doubt it actually does much for you.

Double eh??? Raise and call a 3-bet for sure. Cap if you're feeling frisky. We lose only to 64.

My fault - misread the OP. Thought we hit two pair on the flop. Ugh.

Preflop: Worth a shot. Just don't make a habit of it.

Flop: Perfect.

Turn: Why on earth are you raising? I have serious doubts that you ever have enough equity in the pot HU to make this raise profitable, and when UTG bets the turn he clearly has enough of a hand that he's never folding. Aside from hitting your river card, the best thing that's going to happen when you raise the turn is that he calls, check/calls the river, and you get to show a pair of threes & lose. There are cheaper & more effective ways to get a LAG table image.

River: Raise. 4bet if possible. 6bet if allowed. EDIT to add: tip the dealer handsomely.

I put him on an over pair.

[ItzMrFish2U]

Good point about the 3bet. Not enough equity. I was feeling frisky and I hadn't seen this fellow play so I thought maybe he'd fold.

Thanks for the advice.
