$50NL Cake


Stacks:

Hero: $55 (OTB)

Villan: $27 (EP) ( No notes, but have seen hom make some donk plays and he's
a short stack, he did not rebuy when losing)



I get [9d] and raise to $3.50 after 2 limpers and only the Villan calls

flop; [5c][6d] $8 ( 2 Players)

Ok his range is FD,22-88, 78s,56s,A6, Axs

I bet $7, he calls $7

turn $22

He only has $16.50. If he was a fulls stack I think I may check here as 77-88 will fold, and his Axs hit and his A6 has 2 pairs. even against the above range I am 51% so I just put him in. thoughts?

Looks ok, don't think there's much else you can do with his stack, he may even fold when the ace comes if he doesn't have it?

This spot sucks. I played a similar hand against a very good player yesterday but i had KK and 3bet him prflop. The flop came with J high and I bet full pot. He called. Turn (pot $34) A. Meh. I bet 22 and he pushed, i folded with only 18behind because he either had AK, JJ IMO. It sucks.

It's not like i like your line but more than your line what i dont like is the damned A on turn. I think you layed it fine, because checking and giving up the hand is way too weak tight. I think the hand range you put him in is good and you should be +EV or very close to it.
