Stacks are me (button) €800, cutoff €500 and sb €1k. Cutoff opens to 10, i 3 bet aqdd to 30, sb (whos mully85 recently won ukipt Galway) cold calls and orig rser comes along. Flop comes q74r, mully leads for 2/3 pot, c/o calls and i call. Turn 3s bringing backdoor spade draw, mully continues with another chunky c bet, c/o gets out of the way and i call. Rivers a 6s which brings backdoor spades and he fires close to pot. Im curious to know who calls the river here. Mullys a very good player, and the hand from the flop on was a totally weird spot that rarely comes up, hes leading and continuing into a 3 bettor and another player, continuing to barrel the turn despite bein called in 2 spots and bombing river. Put him on a hand.

Well he'd have to be insane to be bluffing here.
His range is AQs/KQs/QQ/77/44 though the last three are unlikely but he may have decided to set mine or not want to 4bet QQ and be in some bad spots OOP since we're deep. 56 got there but does he really call 30 OOP with that? Probably not.
His value range is ridic narrow but does someone 3 barrell trying to blow you off(what is admittedly a very face up range, strong Qs, KK/AA)?
Some more information/reads would be nice. Has he been calling a lot OOP? Have you been 3betting a lot? Etc etc. Readless its an easy fold, might even fold the turn as his line is v strong.
His flop lead is really weird though, that would definitely confuse me.

If the turn bet was all in then your logic might hold, but with another street to come there's more to consider.

He can have called here with lots of 5's (75, 65, 54, 35). This game is likely to have been playing very loose so when he leads at that flop he has to have some piece of it so given turn and river I'd say your beat.
Ignore this if villain was not playing like 80% of the players there.

i think your range is very polarised in his view, like Q74 is a very dry flop and once he gets the other guy out of the pot on the turn, he can barrel you off most of your range by the river,
what is the exact bets on the flop and turn, and what is the potsize on the turn once he bets how much do you have behind?

how do you think he perceives you? how have you been playing have you been 3betting much in position?
what i meant if you are playing reasonably solid then by the river you calling range is pretty small given his line and any hand you call with is going to be a hero call of sorts and alot of your stronger hands in your range are going to get more chips in before the river

Originally posted by alanmc101 View PostI have to disagree here mate, having the best hand at any point is my number one consideration, and if i think i have the best hand my call should be plus ev.
It seems that if you have the best hand a call will be +EV, but that's actually an illusion. Unless the action stops when you call, you need to factor in later streets. Most of the time you will be playing a player worse than you, so you can disregard this, but anytime you are up against a good player, you need to include the fact that he will make as good or better decisions as you will, and if you have a weak hand there is a good chance he will make you fold it. Actually the same applies if the opponent is merely aggressive, he doesn't need to be that good.
Originally posted by alanmc101 View PostBasically here i did not respect his flop lead, it gets a little bit worrying when he bombs turn but hes a capable aggro whos aware that hes repping huge strength when he double barrells here. Like he wouldve got this bet thru you for example, a thinking player.

You probably have the best hand now, but it really doesn't make that much difference, calling is going to be - EV. Or facing a bet on a board of TTQ two spades with an underpair out of position, you more than likely have the best hand now, but that isn't the most important factor.

I don't know if I would fold the turn, if I knew the guy was capable/likely to be bluffing here it's obviously not an easy fold. What do you think his range is on the flop? How likely is he to start a bluff here?
Well [retty likely i thought hence my calling him down, i felt like he was takin a stab otf, but when he continues ott thats where it gets interesting for me. Would he continue on a stone cold bluff here after bein called in 2 spots, i dont think so but still doesnt mean we're beat right now.

Everyone seems to think hes nutted here ott, but i just didtn believe him. When he fires river though with backdoor spades gettin ther, i think its a fold. I dont think he continues barrelling the turn vs 2 of us with a no equity hand. But the hand was so weird i called and he had ajss. The most important street here is the river, like would he continue barrelling air ott, doubtful, so his river range is sets/flushes or unlikely 3 barrell spazzes. So my river call is pretty bad in hindsight.

Also I don't think there's anything wrong with peeling 56s here in his spot when we're 250bb deep with relative position in a multi-way situation where people are going to be playing more straightforwardly than they would HU.

2 - 56s here is terrible, he isn't closing the action and will just be throwing away his initial 30 without seeing the flop a good portion of the time, with a hand that will tend to make the idiot end of straights and bad flushes

I hate when people say stuff like " he must be terrible if....he did x y or z" Fair enough, it might be a terrible choice or a horrific decision etc but everyone is capable of that.
Saying that I hate his flop lead with no hand there so so much! Even if he thinks "wow if I barrel the fook out of all streets this will look insanely strong" still going to get called a fair but as its nuts or lunacy. MBN to back into the nuts easy peasy lemon squeezy.

An under pair or top top, it doesn't matter. Your absolute hand strength isn't important its the relative strength to the board you need to look at. This is why a fish doexnt fold the under full house even though its glaringly obvious the opponent has the bigger house. The say "But I have a house" and call.

His river bet shows extreme strength. Its sounds lik you knew you were beaten but curiosity got the better of you.
As it played out you just got very unlucky in the hand.

Its a multi way pot so I dont think its that "undesirable" to take the pot down now.
All you hav is top pair. If it was heads up a call is prob the best play.If you're not in, you can't win
