This hand was played poorly.
Stack sizes:
Hero: $444
UTG: $540
Preflop: (6 players) Hero is BB with Td Th
UTG raises to $16, 4 folds, Hero calls.
UTG is a LAG 23/16 so I'm not 3 betting his UTG open and make a standard call here.
Flop: 6c 3h 3d (2 players, $34)
Hero checks, UTG bets $24, Hero raises to $52, UTG folds.
Fisrt mistake is my raise amount, I'm working on 2.5x c/r these spots with air and with hands. But I figured wrong and raised too small. Should have been $60. Second is the fact that I c/r at all. This villian is known to DB, so why raise? Well like I said, I'm doing this with air and with a hand.....BUT.....this is neither air nor the type of hand I should be doing it with. The types of hands I want to do this with are either hands like (air) 89s, KQs, JTs......hands that are easy to fold if he plays back......or hands like 3X, 33, 66, 63. The whole idea is to do this with big hands and without as to get paid off by the big hands. But here I'm only putting myself in a terrible spot if he reraises me or even calls and an over comes. The better play here is to c/c the flop and turn and evaluate on the river.
