This is a fine flop bet by Bilzerian with his overpair. He was obviously correct to 3-bet, though a slightly larger size would have been more appropriate considering the extremely deep stacks (475bb). Hand #3: Pocket Acesīilzerian is dealt A♠ A ♥ in the big blindīilzerian picks up the preflop nuts and 3-bets to 13bb over a 3bb raise. Opponent shows A♠ Q ♥ and wins the $14k pot. Bilzerian goes for it, however, and his opponent drags a decent-sized pot. The river completes the flush draw, so now none of the hands in Bilzerian’s opponent’s range will fold to a river shove, especially when that shove amounts to less than 30% of the pot.Īt this point in the stream, Bill Perkins is in the background trying to convince Bilzerian to give up on his bluff. His opponent’s range is likely made up of trips, full houses, and maybe flush draws, and Bilzerian should not expect those hands to fold.īilzerian bets all-in $2,496.72, opponent calls all-in. Perkins responds “raise or fold” and Bilzerian goes with the former, making an ill-advised flop 3-bet to $1,780.Īfter his opponent calls the re-raise on the flop, Bilzerian should wave the white flag with his no equity bluff. His range in this spot should contain many strong hands that can continue against this raise (AK-ATo, KK-99, flush draws), so this hand, which is toward the bottom of his range, should hit the muck.īilzerian was apparently feeling frisky, however, as he turns to Bill Perkins to ask what he should do in this spot. Versus the raise, Bilzerian has a very easy fold. A smaller size would have been a bit better (~33% pot instead of ~50% pot), but his size is fine. Also, offsuit high card hands like this perform very well as a call.īilzerian bets $259.50, opponent raises to $620, Bilzerian re-raises to $1,780, opponent calls.Īlthough he has whiffed the flop, this is a better board for Bilzerian’s range as the 3-bettor, so firing a small c-bet is the right play. If his opponent were to 4-bet, Bilzerian would be in a bad situation in which he either calls (versus a very strong range) or folds (and surrenders his hand’s equity). QTo is certainly a playable hand versus a button raise, but Bilzerian’s decision to 3-bet is a mistake. Opponent raises to $60, Bilzerian raises to $260, opponent calls.

The turn changes nothing and Bilzerian follows through with another 66% pot-sized bet.
