I call. To many draws and Jx hands that you beat to be able to fold imo.

what draws? AKhh and AQhh. And in terms of the Jx hands he can only have AJ and I don't typically put unknowns on the bottom of their range as a rule of thumb.

I'd fold now and curse when I see him spewing around the next orbits.

Bingo. I really don't know if I was beat here or not. He claimed to have QQ too. He ended up being a 55/20 spewtard. I woulda instacalled had I known. (Later on, I rivered a straightflush vs his turned full house though so it was all good [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) W/ a full stack and avatar reads (lol) I put him on being a TAG [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I find that it has served me well when I'm facing an unknown to assume that he is more likely to be a spewtard than he is to be decent/solid. If you routinely fold in spots like this you're probably missing out on a lot of value.

Why are you narrowing his range so much? Villain opened from MP and called a 3-bet. This is not enough info to assume that his range is that tight. I put all sorts of sc's in his range.

Don't fold QQ in a RR pot if you get a good flop. Without reads this is instacall.

I did some stoving.

We have to call $130 to win $270, meaning we need 32.5% equity for a call to be neutral EV.

If we give him a reasonably tight range we still have a profitable call:


35,640 games 0.005 secs 7,128,000 games/sec

Board: Jh 4h 3c
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 34.446% 33.12% 01.33% 11804 472.50 { QcQs }
Hand 1: 65.554% 64.23% 01.33% 22891 472.50 { JJ+, 44-33, AhKh, AhQh, AJs, AJo }

Call. We're not in great shape, but we're getting great odds.

What if this was a regular 20/16, decent TAG, type?
(actually, this makes the call easier I think)

Play overrolled. Being a bankroll nit is fine, being a playing nit is missing out on value.
