Hero ?

Vilain is nüül. He is running 22/14/1.6 over a small sample (350 hands) (that sample includes hands from NL200 and it was far more aggro at NL200). I have him on different tables and don't have any read at this point.

I've allready 3b him in the same kind of spot and he usually fold.

What line do you take on the river ?

the metagame benefits of having legit hands in your range when you bet the flop here, and the value of finding out quickly whether he hit the board, and the value of not letting him spike some random set on the turn probably outweigh the benefits of inducing a bluff in this flop spot

i hate hate hate hate your preflop reraise with this hand and these stacks.

Just call.


As played, im pretty sure i bet fold the flop for simplicity.

As played i'd bet fold for like 180.

@soah: Do u feel so strong there ? I mean if we lead the flop and he calls and turn isn't a J i'm basiclly giving up quite often without history. I didn't check to induce a bluff but more because i'm oop, have a lot of sd value against most of his range and wanted to control the pot. I played it like a WAWB.

@Renton: I must confess that I haven't seen that he had $680 when I 3bet him.

you threw pot control out the window preflop
