66 - playing in rr pot with no set

[Jack10]

Why are we 3-betting preflop? Our equity against an 11% PFRer even when he's on the button is not going to be much higher than 50%, and we are obviously OOP. Just call, then on a flop like this lead out a fair amount of the time. Unless we have a great read on the guy, I generally like to keep the pot small with a marginal hand OOP.

But Queen could be a good card to bluff... Since Hero 3-bet preflop and checked the turn he is likely to have overcards and Q could help him. Moreover, Q completes some draws that Villain can be afraid of

Clearly hero shouldn't have bet the river, because villian called.

this is really bad logic.

What's his attempt to steal? Unless it's pretty high I'm not 3 betting with 66 vs. someone with an 11% PFR.


Once he calls you on the flop give up and check fold the rest of the way.

He's TAG, why 3-betting small pocket pairs against him OOP is bad? If the flop contains cards that are higher than 6, than 66 play exactly like 72o OOP in a rr pot( c-bet on the flop and if Villain doesn't fold, check/fold on all streets)

call preflop - bloating the pot OOP vs this guy with a small pair is not a good idea.

If you are going to turn your hand into a bluff you ought to continue that bluff on the turn and fire 2/3pot on the turn as well - you just picked up another 4 outs and your hand is well disguised thanks to preflop - so IF he called the turn bet AND you make your hand you'll stack him on the river.

as played fold river all day. we can't rep any hands with weak flop bet check turn fire river for halfpot - and this villain is calling w/ AQ KQ JJ+ all day here.

I wouldn't 3bet with this preflop unless villain is stealing a lot. As played, I wouldn't bet the river, c/f on turn and river is fine I think.
