Hand #1<\/span><\/h2>\n

360crypto<\/strong> open to 3,500 from under the gun and I 3-bet from the button to 10,500 with\u00a0\"\"\"\". Both the small and big blind choose to fold, and 360crypto<\/strong> calls.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My decision to 3bet always depends on my opponent\u2019s gameplay and position. Usually, I like to just call when someone opens from under the gun as they have a really tight range. I chose to 3bet with that hand because 360crypto<\/strong> opens many hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

The flop is \"\"\"\"\"\"\u00a0and my opponent checks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I decide to bet 8,000 as I like to always bet around 1\/3rd of the pot. I have an open-ended straight draw and it’s a great flop for me as I have the\u00a0\"\"\u00a0in my hand, too. He calls the 8,000 and we take the turn.<\/span><\/p>\n

A \"\"\u00a0hits the table, completing the flush.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because I have the blocker in my hand and I have improved my hand to a flush draw up and down I decide to bet again. This time I bet 22,000 into 38,500 and he calls. I put him on\u00a0\"\"\"\"\u00a0or\u00a0\"\"\"\"\u00a0with the ace of spades, \"\"\"\",\u00a0\"\"\"\", \"\"\"\", or\u00a0\"\"\"\"\u00a0for calling on that turn. <\/span><\/p>\n

The river card is a\u00a0\"\".<\/span><\/p>\n

With that river,\u00a0I have no choice but to make a bluff. The \"\"\u00a0is actually a good card as it minimizes the risk of him having \"\"\"\". <\/span><\/p>\n

I wouldn’t have bluffed if I didn’t have the \"\"\u00a0as a blocker in my hand.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He checks and I bet 59,000 into 82,500. \u00a0I couldn’t check back as there was about 0% chance to win the pot with king high. I wouldn’t have bluffed if I didn’t have the \"\"\u00a0as a blocker in my hand. <\/span><\/p>\n

The bluff worked, he folds and I take the pot down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hand #2<\/span><\/h2>\n

I open on the button to 3,000 with \"\"\"\"\u00a0and just over 70 big blinds. From the small blind, Govo007<\/strong> raised to 9,000. Big blind folds, and now it’s on me again and since he 3bets often, I have position on him, and also he made the 3bet small out of position, I decided to call.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/b><\/p>\n

The flop is\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\". <\/span><\/p>\n

Govo007<\/strong> bets 9,500 into the 19,000 pot and here I decided to call with my second pair as I have an ace in my hand for a kicker. He could be holding \u00a0\"\"\"\",\u00a0\"\"\"\",\u00a0\"\"\"\", \"\"\"\",\u00a0or any pocket pair of tens and higher as those are the ranges he is likely to be 3-betting with from the small blind. <\/span><\/p>\n

The turn is an\u00a0\"\"\u00a0and Govo007<\/strong> decides to check here. My hand just improved to 2 pairs and I am certain that I have the best hand, so I decide to bet 21,000 into 38000; just a bit less than 2\/3rd of the pot and leaving almost half pot left behind to shove on the river.<\/span><\/p>\n

If he would have had\u00a0\"\"\"\"\u00a0as his hand it would have been a really bad check on that turn as with the\u00a0\"\" there was a flush draw on board too. He called the 21,000 and we go to the river which is a\u00a0\"\". <\/span><\/p>\n

Govo007<\/strong> checks and I shove all in with 30,340; almost half the pot. <\/span><\/p>\n

With that river, I still don’t think he could have \"\"\"\" or 2 pairs so it’s an easy shove. Govo007<\/strong> snap-folds and the 80,000 pot comes my way.<\/span><\/p>\n
