I want to strengthen my X back range vs him as I won't cbet this board with that high of a frequency , it's good to have some hands that call v bet bet on rags and TP even TJ is too strong - this'll be one of the strongest hands I check

bet's fine too ofc tho, just think X back Jmid kicker is pretty good here and there

Like turn's kinda weird here
He should know there's like no flushes and straights in my range which makes me want to value raise vs the shitloads of pair+draw Im getting value from

but for the same reason he can so easily just re-raise any Ac and im literally fucked have to fold the best hand I ever have here and he's definitely capable of that

course I can check back fds on flop but that's jut gay

Wow thinking pretty deep for low limit. You can easily call, call here then, since you did keep the pot small by min raising. If you want to get fancy, you can raise or hero call some rivers. That can help you gain more insight on the villain.


It also depends on his barreling frequency when you x back. I didn't see that this is HU. I would probably raise here more than call HU. To defend your raise, you could check back your weaker flush draws and maybe your KT with bd outs a percentage of the time. That would be enough for him not to go nuts on you with a naked Ac.


edit: Easy raise vs 57% bet vs missed cbet. I'm guessing he re-raised and you had a bad result. That's why you're posting it.

Call and then call or bet if he checks. You also get some info on the sizing which could be interesting.
This is by far best if you have no idea what to do when reraised.
This shouldn't be the best hand you ever have here btw, check back f draws or weak top pairs some times, esp vs people who auto bet to missed cbets

Ye I guess I should, initiative overrated?

I meant I'm fucked in that I have to fold - I fold if he re-raises
His range is so much more nutted than mine and bluffs have a ton of equity anyway, I'm kinda hoping he'll re-raise nuts call with weakened range here

The dude in RiO video that snap is from (Greenwood) made a vid on range advantage - I have a range disadvantage here I'm way more capped than he is what he suggests is the importance of not fast playing our strong hands when that's the case to protect our weak ones - so I guess a call here is better anyway even if I have a clear plan against a re-raise
