3 Value (?) Shoves Against a CS

[T-Rod]

Villain is playing VPIP of 90 over 150 hands. He is a mega CS that will call a flop CB with any piece of it.

The raise sizes have increased at the table. x8BB is pretty standard now because this guy doesn't care. He still calls.


1) I raise x8bb AK OTB and he calls in EP. Flop JTJ no FD. HE ck/calls my CB.

Turn T. He checks and I shove. IT's about a PSB because of the pfr size.


2) It's a limped pot for a change. 4 limpers and I limp late with 9[h] 7[h]. Normally I'd raise (or fold!) that but if I raise, I'm getting 2-3 callers so no point.

Flop J[h] 8[s] T[c]. Guy leads weak, CS villain calls in MP, I raise huge and only CS calls.
Turn Q[h]. He leads near pot. Hmm. I shove as the pot is pretty big and its either fold or shove.

3) I raise A[c] T[c] to x8BB in CO. CS calls in SB. HU>

Flop Q[d] T[d] 3[d]. He check/calls my 3/4 pot CB.
Turn A[s]. He checks, I shove as we have about a psb left.

#1) I think I would be alot less likely to CB against this guy. This is a flop I wouldnt bet. As played, I dont mind it.

#2) Love this one.

#3) I probably dont bet this flop either. I would wait fo a safe turn card (this one is prefect) and get 2 streets of value from him. As played, turn shove is good.

RESULTS:

1) Hand 1 actually happened later so I feel that I'm ahead here most of the time. So why push? It made no sense and was FPS. He did fold though (probably some small PP).

2) He had AK and I missed my flush. I had two reads here: 1) Most don't limp AK (so I should push) or 2) a CS is now leadnig full pot into me which is scary (so I should fold).

I'm not unhappy with it though.

3) My thought was bet the flop because I'm ahead of his hand range. He calls with any diamond, any piece of the flop, and often times some overs without a diamond.

Anyway, I guess I got unlucky as he flopped the flush with A[d] 6[d].
