Bad 3bet size? It doesn't set up a turn shove very well, this is a leak in my game for sure.

Is the turn just a shove?

villain is 40/20/1 over 50 hands

2 hands we have seen:

1) He smooth called AK in the sb and donked the turn with Ace high after flop was checked around

2) He smooth called 99 in the sb, c/c flopped set, checked turn and checked river when filled up

Hero ???

Pot is about $158 with $144 left iirc

I'd raise it pot on the flop which by my (tired and probably wrong) calculations would be up to $87. Nice easy turn shove after that.

As played, I shove but not liking it so much.

Given the 2 hands he's shown down, what do we think his range is?

Wow. Tough hand. What ended up happening?

I dont like shoving here, you make villian fold alot of his hands here, I rather check/call and if he checks turn shove it on a non club board.

As for 3bet sizing I make it anywhere from 68$ to 74$.

sets/two pair/Ac with a pair all call. I also 3bet flop bigger to like 85.

You saw the thread last week where I 3bet it. I do a bit of everything

it seems he tries to slowplay / trap his very strong hands and I guess he plays his vulnerable hands strongly. I put him on 2 pairs or a combination of flush draw / str8 draw or pair + flush draw. I don't want to guess here cuz any club, any card that pairs the board, a J. All these puts us in a shitty spot.

Reason to shove : pot is large enuff to win right now. If we check and he checks, we are screwed on the river if a card we don't like comes. What do we do ? Check / fold if a Jd comes up ? What about the 9d ?

I shove this turn, I don't want him to check behind if I check the turn and get a free card. There is so much bluff potential on the river.
I just hope he does not have the flush already.
