  1. Had the villian on pocket AA, AK, KK or TT based on the size of the preflop raise. Since hero blocks KK and AK and no flush draws on flop narrowed range to AA or TT… possibly QJd or QJh. Hero really only beats KJ and chops with KQ which hero blocks. Villian was actually being kind by shoving river out of turn. Easy fold imo… villian is on a mad heater 🔥

  2. The turn is a fold imo. You are basically bluff catching hoping that villain has complete air.

  3. First, I'm a 100% recreational player, no aspirations that I"m "almost pro" – which seems to be 90% of the people at a table these days. When I get a on a huge heater like this villain – I"m loving it, but I start to feel a LITTLE bad for people at my table – especially if we've been chatting and having fun for hours. No buy in or stack is going to change my week or month. It could make a nice day though. So, when I'm on a rush, I'm WAY less likely to bluff and I'll start table talking truth "flopped it again – really don't want to stack you". Or going all in, before the card hits the river, etc. I can see how this would be considered angling, if it were deceptive, but I usually only do it w/ people who have been there for a while – I really don't want to stack them and see them leave. Their few $100 doesn't matter. I would venture to say I"ve seen other players like – this – its infrequent, not rare. I guess GTO – you are WAY deep and calling off your entire stack on top pair, 2nd kicker, and I don't see that as ever being optimal. At the lower stakes, very few players on a heater would just go bomb bomb bomb and they tend to play very straight forward. In live play I may even fold on the flop vs. some players. I"d show the KQ and try to induce him to show – and I"d take that information at the cost of $75 and move on with my $800+. Yeah, very exploitable – if they have 1000's of hands on me – which they never will sitting live. The problem with calling the flop bet is exactly what happened: You will always end up facing a river shove that you hate but make and get beat by sets. Or quads. Now, if the guy is in every hand, not showing and trying to bully – if you really think that's the case – then I'd call him down hoping he's bluffing. But you'd need a REASON to think that's he's bluffing over 50% of the time – b/c on the flop you have virtually nothing in and you are deciding to stack off w/ top pair 2nd kicker, which is never ahead of three value bombs. All you beat is 3 bluff bombs, for your stack.

  4. Dog bad analysis on this one, Bart cant wait for this dude to tell him what V had then dismisses him immediately lol…

  5. Love how this caller think the Royal Flush jackpot is relevant as to how he should be playing this hand

  6. 1/ many people have a 3bet range vs EP of AA KK AK QQ 2/ racking up chips & play common live tell = strong, in this situation I'm often folding this, even more so because OOP
