10nl HU c/r flop: bet/raise by villain on the turn

[fuser1986]

This hand started off as a 6 max table but slowly broke and I ended heads up with the villain. I already had an aggressive dynamic with the villain and villain seems competent.

This is the 10th hand in played against villain HU. Just curious to know what everyone thinks about my line as played and what I could have done differently.

PF: I think that calling is ok and 3b is fine. Anyone think 3b is better?

F: I hit a great board for my hand. Since I called out of position obviously I checked to villain. I am pretty sure this is standard but I c/r this flop. I am sure this is a the best way of playing the flop or are there any merits to calling?

When villain calls the c/r on the flop what does villains range consist of? The board is pretty wet and I think since we already have an aggressive dynamic I think that villain perceives me to be a reg possibly c/r a wet flop with some bluffs, draws, and some top pair and sets.

What confuses me the most is when he flats the c/r on the flop. At first I felt that possibly Tx, some worse draws, and the nut flush draw would call. But I want to say the standard is that two pair, sets, over pairs (maybe), nut flush draws would click it back on the flop most of the time as opposed to slow playing such a wet flop.

Thought?

T: The turn is an interesting card and bring me much confusion. I am not entirely sure but is betting in this spot ok or is checking ok? I went with the standard line of aggression since I re took control of the hand on the flop and bet. Now I dont like my bet that much but at the moment of that hand I figured half pot bet would accomplish a call or a fold I was not ready for villain to re raise the turn.

I feel that my turn bet mostly shows weakness and my hand is weighted mostly towards draws and maybe some top pair hands. I think that my bet on the flop should have been $2.00-2.50.

Thoughts here on alternative lines of play?

Now whats confusing is that we get raised....what combos could villain realistically have and how many. I think hands like AT would flat, AQhh, AJhh (even Ax of hearts I would expect to possibly click it back?), maybe slow played sets of 5's and 7's? Again I wold assume sets and two pairs would click it back more often. Could he even have done this with a redraw?

We cant call and we can only jam or fold. I dont like folding ugggggh and I dont like jamming because I am pretty sure I am behind here in this spot. We are getting a little less than 3-1 and it seems like jamming would be ok but I am not sure how many clean outs I have.


Uuuugh! Please help!

Never bet/folding. I would bet $2.25 and call an all in or jam if he raises. If you think he likes bluffing then c/calling turn and river are fine also assuming river bricks like the 2:clubs: or some shit.

Another line would be to donk flop with an aim to b/3b all in or bet/call a raise on the flop to check/call the all-in on the turn.

Agree with fuzzy, with these stacks bet/3betting might be better, if I went for the check raise I'd make it bigger than 3x too I think.

If you don't want to bet/call turn then check with your showdown value and draw. Bet/folding is your worst option here.

Thanks guys! This hand had me really frustrated. I guess I was so inclined to bet because I had check raised the flop and wanted to continue to take control of the pot and at the heat of the moment I made a mistake.

The more I think about this hand I believe that either c/f or c/c is fine on this turn. But at these stakes I feel that more often than not I see us beat here by A7 and AT and some slow played sets but even that is very rare.

As played we are getting 3-1 roughly on a call and its seems thin but a call is not bad either. See even though we had an aggressive dynamic going on during our six max play, villain I feel is doing this more often for value. Any K on the river or T and other bricks what do we do....basically really drawing to hearts and some of our hearts might be beat by a strange Axhh type of hand. Even though he turns SD value its very possible that the villain continues to take this aggressive line on the turn.
