Hero flats a 3bet with AQs-clubs from a TAG blind with a 9% 3bet over a reliable sample. Flop comes QJT twotone and the general sense is shove or fold, with a high likelihood of getting it in bad.
My questions for y'all (and the forum).
If villain is going to have us in a bad spot on a broadway board but three bets that much, shouldn't we be 4bet bluffing with AQ?

Things that would be nice to know...
ReplyDeleteHow often does he 4bet? How aggro is he postflop? Does he barrel a lot?
I don't think we can say 4betting is almost always best... It's just this board is sick but we're not going to get a board like that very often.
With that being said:
Shoving the flop makes no sense to me. We're going to get it in bad so often...
Do we all hate calling and see what he does on the turn? I prob would call in the heat of the moment with the intention of giving up if he barrels the turn.
Yeah, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteThree things that come to mind when I think about this spot.
1) High variance.
2) Rare.
3) Very in-game dynamic dependent.
The shove will only work to induce action from a dominated draw hand that shuts down otherwise. There's just not that many of them. The hand is 3-to-1 vs my estimated continuing range { TT+, AQs+, ATs, KQs, KTs, QTs+, JTs, AQo+ }
Can it be that it's too bad to even call unless he'll go off with like KJ with a backdoor?
Isn't he going to play perfect poker if we call?
