@LQ: I think this is a good fold. @Tea: I think this value bet is too thin.

Yeah, a bit too thin for sure. In my defense, I was eating dinner and watching Family Guy with my girlfriend for the first 20 minutes, however inexcusable.

LQ A8s bb
Tea: T9o btn

I really don't like the payoff here tea when he's c/r'd flop and bet every street on AJT74. Even if he's c/r all gutshots and barrelling off, it's a pretty thin call. I wouldn't expect him to keep firing with 87 or 97 on the river though, and probably not with T8 either, which makes this a fold imo, minus a read on barrelling

Agree 100%. I remember thinking at the time I should have folded on the 7 turn. When I called I felt committed to calling the river.

LQ opens QJo in mp, Tea calls in BB w/ AQo

I 3bet loose aggressives here preflop with AQo in the BB. Our hand definitely likes having the lead postflop, and LQ has shown a willingness to check turns, which can make life uncomfortable for us. I think the flop should be a c/r semibluff on JT7tt by AQo here and I'd bet all 3 streets, unless the turn or river were a 8 or 9.

Since I call 100% HU I tend to c/c showdown-able gutshots a lot, but I like your suggestion here based on who I'm against and the board. I think it works better on a board like 245 with a flushdraw where my flop calling range is generally weaker overall.

Which opens JdTh, tea 3bets QcJc

which peels Ad9x2d, calls turn 4d and tea c/f river 9x.

This whole hand is very odd to me and it feels like a lot of money is left on the table. I think first, Which's peel is fairly bad. bd fd/bd sd, but still I think you'd prefer to raise or fold flop. On the turn 4d, I think this is a definite raise if you're going to proceed. You've got to rep something here, otherwise tea is going to play close to perfect against you, and this is not an easy board to play for a reasonably wide tag 3betting range. You'll have a more profitable river bet.

Tea, I think this is a river you should barrel. If he shows down 66 with a diamond, so be it, you built quite a pot here though, and really, wtf else is he going to do but bet his entire range on the river. I think you need to prevent that and protect your pot

The river was misplayed for sure. Is there any merit to giving up on the turn? Obviously I didn't think he would peel with JT. Which had been somewhat foldy up until that point and it looked to me he was showing down. I kind of bet the turn out of not knowing what was correct and because of my confusion I botched the river.
