200NL - Yell at me

[willw9]

Villain running like 16/12 over 1.5k+ hands. If you don't like preflop I can explain the logic later, but if you understand 3betting, it's pretty basic stuff. As for this specific hand though, I was mainly bored preflop. No relevant history, my image is pretty taggy.

Some thoughts and ranges:

Preflop, probably something like AQs+, TT-QQ. Turn, definetely pegged him on the same range, but obv more weighted towards the PP's. River, overs were out the door. Can he ever call with TT-QQ!? Does he ever have better than 1 pair?!

Flame away.

i think youre good often enough to just call the river.

i just call $30 -- but this is an interesting spot..if he views you as taggy, would he expect you to 3bet IP PF? -- prob not .. a set isn't super likely for you, but more likely than a straight imo, but i still doubt you fold JJ here.

it isn't terrible though

I played a hand very similar to this today. The only difference was that the HJ limped and I iso raised him with Q9s. He was similar in stats. Very tight typical muti tabler TAG. Anyways, he called and the flop was nearly identical (963 two tone maybe). When he checked to me I bet in order to induce a raise from what looks like a standard c-bet from what most likely missed this flop. He obliged and I 3bet. He dumped.

Point of my hijack is, I am not a fan of checking and inducing/play PC here. I would rather be aggressive at this pot on one street and then shut down given that you have position. Being aggressive early does two things. It may win the pot for you right there (a plus) or if he sticks around you were aggro on the cheap streets and can now have a good chance of seeing a free river.

I think this is pretty marginal in general since I only think he folds TT-JJ, but if he calls you it'll set up nice history/image for you.

Also i doubt he has better than one pair.

he's calling.

Will, you are probably gonna have to explain the logic of that 3bet to me [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].
I think a call is soooo much better because his 3bet call range is really narrow.
