  • 1/3 NL Cleveland Poker w/ Jim

    Posted by arw on November 5, 2023 at 3:19 pm

    The opponent in this hand has been chatting with Jim about potentially getting coaching for NL cash games.

    We are playing 8 handed.

    seat 1 – loose and passive

    seat 2 – me

    seat 3 – abc

    seat 4 – tight

    seat 5 – empty

    seat 6 – tight

    seat 7 – tight

    seat 8 – Jim Reid

    seat 9 – abc

    Seat 9 has been winning a lot of pots while playing decent holdings.

    Jim is in the SB, and seat 9 is the BB.

    UTG limps for $3

    I raise with KK to $15

    It folds to seat 9 who calls. Pot is ($1 + $15 + $3 + $15 = $34)

    The flop is 973 rainbow. Seat 9 check calls my $20. Pot is ($74)

    The turn is A. Check Check

    The river is 9. Seat 9 bets $100.

    Is this always a fold?

    Hands that beat me:

    sets or boats — 99, AA, 77, 33, A9

    trips — K9, Q9, J9, T9, 98 — assume he folds (97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92)

    pair of aces — AK, AQ, AJ, AT, A8, A7, A6, A5, A4, A3, A2

    * Some of these AX hands are questionable on whether they call a flop bet.

    Combos

    99 – 1 combo

    AA, 77, 33 – 3 combos each

    9X – 8 combos each (6 off-suit, 2 suited)

    AX – 12 combos each (8 off-suit, 4 suited)

    _____

    = (1 x 1) + (3 x 3) + (8 x 5) + (12 x 11) = quads + sets + trips + ace

    = 1 + 9 + 40 + 132

    = 182 combos that beat me

    _____

    If only suited aces call

    = (1 x 1) + (3 x 3) + (8 x 5) + (4 x 11) = quads + sets + trips + ace

    = 1 + 9 + 40 + 44

    = 94 combos if only suited aces included

    I would fold here. Profile is that this is an ABC player. When an ABC player tells me that he has a big hand, I should believe him. Ax could float the river. There’s a lot of 9x in V’s range that gets to the river. Would V play QQ (the strongest hand that we beat) this way? My answer is no and I’m folding.
