Another stack-a-donk thread.

Been at the table for a couple hundred hands. Button seems like he's probably a regular here and is running about 19/16 or so, opening the button in the mid 30's. No idea how he got his stack, he had it when I got here.

He likely views me as pretty tight as I'm running like 16/16 b/c the guy to my left is playing 55% of his hands and folds to about 10% of c-bets.

This would be the third time I've three bet him, he folded the other two and I haven't seen him play any other three bet pots or really any significant pots.

He called real fast preflop and on the flop so I had the top of his range as some sort of mid pair. I'm sure he floats this flop a lot.

He tanked before betting the turn.

why are you 3betting?

let the fish in

[Noam Chomsky]

yeah, that's the exact thought that crossed my mind just after I three bet.

[orange]

this is pretty bad.

[Noam Chomsky]

ok, why?

[orange]

think about it. i'll elaborate later.

[LiveNow]

hate the 3bet preflop. I think that with hands like this, you should only be 3betting preflop if you are willing to felt.

3betting 77 from sb vs a guy who knows what he is doing, i.e has a wide opening range OTB, cant be very bad.. 3betting this is standard.

[Chicago Twister]

there might be other lines or even better lines, but 3betting 77 here pre is def not bad.

[markuisis]

I don't like 3betting 77 pf oop in general and def not in this situation with the prospect of scaring away the fish. Ur turn c/shove is pretty bad IMO - u transformed ur hand into a bluff with likely 2 outs if called. If u think hes floating with pure air then call him down.
