BB: $80.00
Hero (BTN/SB): $113.40

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BTN/SB with 8 5

Hero raises to $3, BB calls $2

Flop: ($6.00) J 9 2 (2 players)

BB checks, Hero bets $4, BB calls $4


Hands he calls with: {97o, 98o, T9o, Q9o, K9o, A9o, JTo, J8o, KT, T7}

So he's check raising TPGK+, flush draws, and QT. His calling range might seem a little wide but I'm comfortable with my read on it. He calls wide preflop and cc's a lot of flops.


Turn: ($14.00) Q (2 players)

BB checks, Hero bets $11, BB calls $11


Here his calling range is narrowed down to: {T9o, Q9, K9o, A9o, QJ, JTo, J8o, T7}

Basically the turn barrel should fold out crappy 9Xs, and he would raise KT which makes a straight. He calls again with a lot of pair+gutter type hands and some two-pairs.

River: ($36.00) 3 (2 players)

BB checks, Hero bets $32, BB folds

Once I fire this third barrel I should get a lot of credit. I've shown a ton of strength and the river doesn't hurt my hand in any way. He needs to have a very good reason to call me down with any part of his calling range and I haven't given him one so far in the match.

Betting $32 into $36 I need this bluff to work 47% of the time ($32 / ($32+$36) = .47). Given that he's only calling with his two-pair hands now, this is a pretty good spot to triple barrel.

Final Pot: $36.00

Hero wins $35.50

(Rake: $0.50)
