Bet sizing- help me busto this fish



Posted Wed Aug 13, 2008 10:19 am GMT by miaowmiaowchowface
Villain is playing one cash game and one tournament, I've seen him before and he's pretty awful, stationy too. I isolate him regularly, so he may fight back (but it's not that likely, and if it is, it's in that dodgy fishy way). Postflop, how are we going to get the most of his money in the middle?

Comments on sizing of bets for all 3 streets welcome
(can't figure out where I misadded the pots, I'm so stupid, but this is about right)

I put him on an overpair to the flop of 88+, although discount the upper end of the range QQ+ unless he never 3bets. You have made strong bets of the flop and turn. Pot is $1640 going to the river so I would continue the scaled bets and go $1500. I doubt if you push that he will call unless he has a better hand than an overpair (which means you're beat).

thx for putting in pot size there, I should have done that. will edit

NB. it wouldn't be a normal 3bet, it'd be an LRR which would show more strength than a normal 3bet imo=/

Good point, I missed this and it would indicate a substantially stronger hand. At NL25 and NL50 this is almost always KK+. I'm sure it's different at your level, but against a fish, who knows.
