That 4 is basically a blank. The c/c flop, lead a blank turn is usually weak. I'd call and let him bluff the river.

Does that mean you would call the shove when the river is the J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]? Is that an easy call for you with no further read other than the HUD stats?

I'm just wondering because I felt like with no further read I would make a tough fold in that spot but it's so close I'm not really sure. I'm kind of wondering if it's a snap call type of situation for you or a "grit your teeth" borderline call that goes either way depending on reads.

no, I'd fold to a shove. I'm very exploitable if ur a donk, you can over bet shove bluff me all day long.

edit: looking back at stack sizes, a shove really isn't an overbet. So, yea, I'd call a tonne of rivers. I'd fold if a 7/8 or a spade hit the river. An A would be tough case Axss just got there.

I'd also value bet a lot if checked to.

I think that much is obvious. I just might be interested in getting it in against a draw + weak made hand that isn't as far ahead as it thinks it is. ...trying to balance that with how often am I just spewing against what I should know is a better hand a lot of the time.

Fold preflop. I dont like playing suited connectors out of position period (calling a raise), let alone against an unpredictable lag.

As played this flop is a good one with your hand, but Its a tough spot. You have a couple of non-nut draws so I'd let it go because it costs too much to call.

I pretty much always raise there. I almost always see a draw or weak top pair when they donk the turn like that.

I think you either need to re-raise or fold AK from the SB here vs a re-raise.


If you're behind villain's range, you obviously should fold.

If you're ahead of villain's range, you still have a chunk of fold equity, and you need to see all 5 cards to be strong vs QQ-99, which has a good chance of being a chunk of their range.
