Weaktight replay

Usually I steal 3x, must've been a missclick. Can we justify calling here? Or there just aren't enough bluffs?

I'd prob be giving up on the turn once called, maybe even the flop given we've got almost no equity. River is bet fold.

Pre: I don't like your raise size preflop here, min raising is encouraging him to call with 100% of his range and we are going to be out of position with a hand that will not flop amazingly well very often. As you mentioned this is probably a misclick so s long as it is not you regular size it's fine, these things happen.

Flop: I like taking a stab here but again I dislike your sizing. You can make this smaller and accomplish the same job. I would suggest around half pot. We are betting here for protection as well as to keep the betting initiative rather than checking and being in no mans land if he bets, we do not expect any pairs or decent draws to be folding regardless of our sizing so the smaller we can get away with the better purely to fold out his air that has equity against us.

Turn: Once we are called here I would just be check folding. All the decent draws get there and he now has picked up flush draws to go with some of his pairs. Even with our weak flush draw we are going to be in horrible shape.

River: Again I hate this bet, we will not be getting anywhere near the correct amount of folds to make this profitable I think. The river has changed nothing and the villain has to have some sort of showdown value.

Flop bet can be ok but I agree make it much smaller. By betting small you can bet a large amount of your range here and that could include 77, by betting large you should be more polarised to strong hands and bluffs and that shouldn't include 77.

Once you get called on the turn I'd give up. No Kx is folding, many Qx aren't folding, flushes and straights aren't folding and neither is any draw with a high-ish club. That likely makes up most of villain's range.

If you get to river like this then yeah bet for value but it won't be incredible since bvb villain should have a lot of flushes and straights. Definitely fold to the raise. The odds you're getting are only good if villain has a bluffing range and I don't think many people will here.

Pre is too small OOP when BB will be defending super wide.

Usually a small pair on this flop would be a check fold for me unless villain is folding enough for me to make auto profit.

Turn looks like we should be giving up OOP. Anything which called the flop probably isn't folding and now he can have some weak showdown value with a one card flush draw.

River is a clear bet but I'm folding to the min raise. How many villains have a river min raise bluff range? It's going to be JT at least.
