Mission UnibetBubble - Decision 3 - €1,500 to win!

Unibet.com on Rankinghero Unibet.com on Rankinghero Welcome to this new Unibet mission! Every 2 days until the 30th of June, a new poker question will be asked.    #UnibetBubble #Decision3   Notice that the hashtags have changed.   We will ask...

3rd decision:

The blinds are 500/1000.

A player just sat at the table with a 43 BB stack. In middle position, he limps in.

Everyone else folds to you, in the cut-off.

You have 37 BB in front of you and A♣7♠ in your hands.

You raise 2.6BB.

Villain calls.

Flop:

J♦ K♥ J♠

You both check.

Turn:

A♥

Villain checks.

When you put 3,000 chips in the middle, villain instantly calls.

River:

9♦

And again, villain checks.

What do you do?

We have decent showdown value here and think that by betting we fold out most of the hands that we beat and will not get called by worse. Stubborn medium pairs and likely Kx hands will fold when we fire both turn and then river. The fast call also makes me think villain could have a good piece of this board and has acted without too much thought.

I decide to check back the river and hope villain has a worse ace or a king

As we are near the bubble and  i'm more than happy to win this small pot to add to my stack

#UnibetBubble and #Decision3.

I dont see any point betting here.

Its an ok hand to go to showdown.

So I check.

Short version: I check and quickly grab half of pot, before 'ze germans' got there.

Explanation:

Its the bubble, and I cannot build nice pot  when I loose all chips.

By any raise I would turn nice value hand into a bluff. Yes, we might represent a jack, or AQ, but why?

Any "folding hand" we are beating anyway, its no matter if we win at showdown or by bluff.

Any "monster" would cost us a lot.

It might be agro-maniac and just shove, putting us in tough spot and probably folding.

So only extra value from bet, could be if we force villain with Ax hand to fold and snatch extra half of pot. Still its only half of pot extra. And Ax hands are like 20% of his range. The bet forcing him to fold would haveto be big => extra loss, dropping us to short stack.

And we still have some time to build a stack, but not from short stack.

So final decission => check.

check

river comes with not helpfull card for me,if i raise and he reraise do i want to push all in on bubble?im think im not,so I check again

#UnibetBubble and #Decision3. at this stage and so close to the money and his quick call on the turn  i think i would play on the side of caution there are enough chips in the middle now and check also if i was to bet and he then went all-in would i be willing to put my tourney life on the line ???? i dont know so i would just check the river

What do you do?

Villain instantly calls the bet on the turn. This could mean he has a good hand, but he could also pretend he has one. The check on the river makes it more complicated. This check could mean that he knows he has the best hand and wants the other player to bet, so he will raise or make a shuv thereafter. Or he has not the best hand, but a good hand and want the other player to bet and then make a call. This complicated situation bring some risk to bet. But what's poker without risks. I think that me as a player would or make a little bet like 2bb or a check. This different is caused by the time this tournament is played or some drinks :P. As a fictional player I would make a check.

Imagine: You are close to the bubble in the Unibet Open Cannes. There are only 3 players to bust out before getting to 

the money!

What do you do?

Well we can still put him on pretty much the same range as we did on the turn , 22-88 probably folded to our bet , 99 may
have hung around. lets say he folded his 99 half the time,so that at most he has 2 combos of 99 left on the river which
have improved to have us beaten.
With his small suited connectors we assumed he may call with 8 of those combos on the turn , the river didn't really help
this part of his range and against 3 streets of aggrssion he is likely to just fold these 8 combos to a bet so no value to be
got from these by betting.
With his Ax hands he has 6 combos of AJ that beat us and 9 combos of AK that beat us . AK is unlikely because of the
action pre so we can probably discount that down to 2 combos of AK.So we can say 8 combos of Ax that call and beat us,
and 40 that call/shove and tie.
16 combos of QT have us beaten and probably shove over any bet.
of his broadways TJ,QJ,KJ still have us beaten are arent folding, so 22 combos that beat us

KT,KQ are 16 combos that probably now fold to a bet so no value to be gained.

By betting there is no part of his range that we can get value from , and open ourselves up to being shoved on and putting
us in a really tricky spot as he could do it as a bluff with his KQ, KT and as a value shove with his Ax hands knowing that
we can't put our stack on the line in the hope that we a chopping the pot against his Ax hands.

We have a lot of showown value , but villain has plenty of hands that beat us , or that he can represent by shoving the hands that we tie with . As a result this looks like a straightforward check behind as it also gives us information on his limping range pre , and his play style post flop which we can exploit in following hands.
