What is my plan here? $90.50 effective stacks.

bet 9.... rest depends on opponent.

with a bunch of strong backdoor draws your not very far behind anything except a set, tough spot if you get raised on flop though. You could either bet 10, or check call.

Opponent is probably a reg, kinda looser, something like 31/24 pf.

I bet 12 and got raised to 31. What now?

thats why i agree with c/c could also be an option against aggrasive opponet since c/c we still have 3 streets to play
but now you have to make decision on the turn and it did not get easier , we cant fold the 31 but if turn card did not improve our hand then we might make wrong decision

i check call then lead on non QJT9876 pretty often. if turn is one of those cards and brings me a flush draw or 2 pair i will often check call again. if the turn is like the Tc i just check fold.

you can also get a read into his betsizes. if he bets the flop then full pots the Qs turn, he probably doesnt have a straight but has a vulnerable hand, so you can go with it there as you are doing well against vulnerable hands (rarely has sets)


that sounds like a lot of cards but i you think about it an AK5432 come decently often (~40%), you will often turn flush draws, get check behinds on either flop or turn and sometimes get a read, so i dont think you end up c/c c/f more than 25% of the time total

Im a plo noob but its seems like a b/f, sure you have a lot of bd draws but 100bb 3b pot you wont have FE on the turn to make anything out of it and your hand obv isnt strong enough to play for its pure value.
