another tough spot. JJ utg against loose raiser
First time tangling against this guy. No reads at the time, but he had stats of 29/24/3 over just 41 hands. I didn't really want to play this hand oop, so I 4 bet him. I think my sizing was off, no? Maybe not by much, but looking back I'm thinking $8.50 might have been better. And I'm totally lost on the flop. Could I be up against a worse hand here? It doesn't feel like it. Anyway, plz help here. I've been getting in alot of spots like this lately and I think I have a big leak in these reraised pots. Definitely need some assistance here.

Push allin. I think he got 88-QQ.

Re: another tough spot. JJ utg against loose raiser
I prefer a call pf for set value, playing this oop is tough. I make it 8 pf but your 4 bets shouldn't be that large in anyway.
Seeing as this is the first hand against this opponant I probably just c/f but some other reads would be nice, does he 3 bet a lot? has he 3 bet light? is he aggro post flop? Depending on the answer to this, I would change my mind on what to do |

Re: another tough spot. JJ utg against loose raiser
Hi all,
This is my first post here after reading the forum a lot, and I hope I won't say many stupid things, despite being good at it! As for the hand, I think you are behind. First, even though he's a semi-lag, you have to give him credit for a hand after 3betting and calling the 4bet, even if the 3-bets light. Secondly, by 4-betting, you practically gave away your hand : big pp, maybe AK. And on the flop, he mini-raises despite the strength of your hand. Given it's one of the first hands between you, I doubt that he is on a "second level of thinking" kind of bluff, so my guess would be AA-KK, and more probably AA. I would have probably call the flop, and a check-raise this kind of flop if I knew he has a large 3-bet range. |

Re: another tough spot. JJ utg against loose raiser
Your PF raise puts you in a tough spot on the flop. It's not enough to scare Villain away, and it creates a pretty big pot. Any continuation bet you make commits you to the pot, possibly with the worst hand. If you check, it gives Villain a free card or makes a tough decision for all of your chips if he makes a big bet.
[ QUOTE ] I didn't really want to play this hand oop, so I 3 bet him. [/ QUOTE ] FYP. Sounds like you wanted to define his hand to make your flop decision easier. If that's what you were going for, a 3bet of $10 PF does a lot for you. Villain probably folds everything except AA-QQ & AKs to a 3bet from an opponent who's OOP. If he calls, you should c/f the flop unimproved and shove when you spike a J. I hardly ever comment on hands. Hope this helps though. Let me know if you see something wrong with my thinking. |

Am I missing something from the PF action? Hero opened. Villain re-raised. Hero 3bet. Why is everyone saying Hero 4bet?
