-----------

  • In game, I placed villain as a fish based only on stack size and tiny hand sample
  • Flop - I think checking back is better on this board and BB range. Against the x/r, I just auto clicked without thinking based on price, against all of the draws, one pair hands
  • Turn bet sizing meant auto fold based on SPR.

I would raise slightly bigger pre and check flop. AP I think due to their stack size it's not worth proceeding so you can fold to their min-raise.


3-bet more pre-flop. At least .55. As played, you should be Xing the flop most of the time, but betting sometimes is ok too. As played, call the min X/R for the price w/ all the backdoors, even though your opponent is a little short.
