    Is this a good call down?

    I suppose he's given you good pot odds at every stage, but we still have to ask ourselves how much of his range we're beating.

    On the flop, what do we think he donks out with on Q9X? Most of the time when someone is leading out small, they have something. They're usually doing so not as a total bluff with air, but because they have a hand they're not sure about and don't want to let us bet much bigger and put them in a tough spot. On this flop the hands we're beating are flush draws and JT, in the main. Even those hands have really good equity against us and obviously any pair is beating us. Calling the flop isn't terrible because of the price being offered. A lot of the time we have the best hand and we can take it away on the turn if we see a check. We have to be aware, though, that our opponent can't bet again without being totally committed to the pot.

    The turn is a Ten and this guy keeps betting. Again it's a small bet in relation to the pot but in relation to his stack, it's huge. I think we should fold here. We don't know what we want, other than a Jack and we might even be drawing dead against a house. The hands we beat are flush draws that don't include the Ad, Qd, Td or 9d but we lose to pretty much every other hand.

    Again, on the river we're beating no rational hand and this bet should never be a bluff. It's a bet made with no fold equity against our likely range. This time we ran into someone playing Ax terribly but that doesn't make this a good play in the long run because that's not what we'll see very often at all.

    No, it's just stationing. They may be some kind of dynamic but you don't mention anything other than the brag.
    The boards totally smacks the kind of hands tha people limp, call a raise with.

    dont wanna blow smoke up idonks behind but i think its a good call.

    No offence idcu but I think that you touched very lucky here by Ax feeling compelled to bet small thro' the streets. Tbh it doesn't look like great play from either side IMO but maybe there had been some sort of meta game between the two of you which you don't say. 
    When are we going to see some hands with questionable plays requiring an opinion Steve. Come on eh? A clinic is for problems not statements. Stick it in bbv if you want but it really has no reason to be here.

    PS why do you carry on calling considering your SPR and the fact that for a bb q,t are more in his range aswell as sppr and so be behind? 

    Pps don't you think you should be masking your opponents name on here as he does not wish his play to be advertised I'm sure. Or was this a deliberate oversight? I'd hope not Steve.

    Its the kind of 1p/2p hand you play at christmas with the kids. Its lliterally like 2 poeple playng there first ever game of poker and they have been told you put money and the cards drop/repeat untill 5 cards have dropped.

    I dn't see any instance where playing AX in this way is correct, over time that loses you money.
