imma start posting some more hands here becuase it seems no one else is.

villain is tag, 18/17 over 60ish hands, so not sizable but enough to know hes not limping very much. only had been 3bet twice up to this and he called once and folded the other time.

When people tags call on the buttno like this they usually have things like KQs KQo AQo AJs 88+ 88 less so than JJ he 4bets QQ and AKs+ 95% of the time most likely.

On the flop I bet out because I am probably betting all my air here and I don't think hes folding his one pair hands here ever, including JJ 99 88. He probably raises his AQ AJ and AT hands here although i don't think he shows up with AT much because he seems to taggy to be calling with it in a 3bet pot.

I am not sure about the turn check, I think the only reason I like it is becuase my river bets get paid off a ton more than my turn bets because he only has to call one at that point.

I remember misreading my hand during the hand as just a Ax hand not two pair on the turn which is why I didnt crai but now looking back c/shoving turn isn't really good from a value stand point, i do get called from worst but I think i also get called on the river from hands that might not call turn shove.

I bet small on river so 88 99 can still call if they think im in a bluff spot and gives AQ+ room to shove a little bit.

Wouldn't expect anything more from you big boy

pre is pretty bad, sure you've got blockers for other Ax but you're going to get some burnt vs AJ/AQ for stacks and you're not suited so you can't get in on flops or barrel/jam turns like you can with Axs

Against tags I think blockers are great. Plus you don't get stacked by AJ AQ all too often because you dont have to go ape shit crazy. Know your hand is a bluff. I will show a hand demonstrating this probably the hand after this.

flop fine, turn b/c all day every day no questions asked.

JJ 99 probably won't call but I also don't have position, so I can't try and squeeze a bet out on river. Bet/calling here would be best, but without the two pair hand I generally c/f turn.

if you actually did misread your hand not c/shoving at that point when you realise is a big mistake, any made hand or darw that has bet the turn won't fold apart from his air which will fold to a river barrel anyway.

i hope you genuinely misread your hand and not checked for some other reason.

this time the check was an accident

Bet river propperly please. You made a block bet then called which is just not good.

You have two pair +NFD in a 3bet pot, go with it on the turn.

Good to see some cash strat here...

meh river could be a shove but i wasn't really block betting just trying to induce but stacks weren't really deep enough for what I was doing. lol 30 into 40 probably wouldve been fine but it all depends on reads. I just thought he might turn his made hands into bluffs.

And I don't feel bad about getting it in on river ever so calling his shove wasnt bad

once you get to the river like this, i think i would just c/f instead of b/c. there's very little in his range that you still beat, aside from floats that decided to bet two streets. assuming QQ and KK are even in his pf range, i wouldn't expect them to play it like this, AT and AJ obv play like this and will stack you, JJ and TT possibly also the same, though it'd be a somewhat weird turnbet with JJ. the only nonbluff hand that i really see you beating by the river is AQ.

hnmm, ya didn't think about TT JJ getting there does make it super thin

didn't think bout the fact that he will have fd + pair alot, good point.
