While much of high-stakes cash game action on CoinPoker takes place in heads-up matches, that doesn’t mean the six-max tables remain empty. The $25-$50 tables with $8 ante have been full this week, with some of the top no-limit hold’em players in the mix.
‘YaGotMeeeh‘ in particular had a successful recent session, stacking opponent ‘kikelakesm‘ twice in five-figure pots. Both times, YaGotMeeeh showed how to navigate postflop in no-limit cash games after flopping a set out of position.
Aces Cracked in a Big No-Limit Hold’em Cash Game Pot
From the lojack/under the gun, YaGotMeeeh opened for $100 and called a three-bet to $425 from kikelakesm in the next seat. The players were 120 blinds deep to start the hand.
The flop came Q♦8♦7♠, and kikelakesm continued for $243. YaGotMeeeh check-raised to $973, and kikelakesm called, bringing a 4♣ on the turn. YaGotMeeeh fired again for $1,518, and kikelakesm called. That brought a 9♦, and YaGotMeeeh emptied the clip for $3,091 effective.
Kikelakesm called with A♦A♠, but the aces were no good against 7♦7♣ for a set. YaGotMeeeh scooped a $12,140 pot.

Hand Analysis
Preflop proceeds normally in this hand, as YaGotMeeeh has a mandatory open, while kikelakesm picks up the bullets and three-bets.
On the flop, kikelakesm makes a mistake right away. The board texture is too wet and the stack-to-pot ratio (SPR) is too large for aces to be betting small here. A bigger size close to half the size of the pot is more appropriate. As played, though, calling the check-raise is fine. YaGotMeeeh has one of the best hands to raise the flop since it unblocks the Q-X top pairs.
YaGotMeeeh’s half-pot turn sizing is good. The solver does like playing the occasional big bet here, but it uses hands like 8-7 and pocket 4s. Pocket 7s just don’t really care what the river is, since they’ll be fine to jam for value at 0.5 SPR regardless of what card comes off the deck.
Case in point, a 9♦ that completes some draws falls, but it’s just not a serious concern, especially in these positions, where kikelakesm’s range should be very narrow and focused around big cards and big pairs.
Facing the shove, kikelakesm is in a tough spot. Aces are indifferent here, but the solver likes calling combos including the A♦ and prefers folding without that key card. Since most players won’t find all of the bluffs, it’s not an exciting call, but A-Q is supposed to jam for value sometimes, so kikelakesm’s hand actually beats some value.
YaGotMeeeh Stays Patient, Induces a River Value-Bet from Top Pair
With 100-blind stacks, YaGotMeeeh opened for $125 in the cutoff and called a three-bet to $423 by kikelakesm on their left.
The flop came K♦9♠7♣, and YaGotMeeeh check-called $388. Both players checked the 3♦, bringing a 7♠ river. YaGotMeeeh checked, kikelakesm bet $1,308, and YaGotMeeeh jammed for $4,181 total. Kikelakesm called off.
YaGotMeeeh showed 9♣9♦ for a full house, and kikelakesm had K♥J♦ for a worthless pair of kings. That sent another $10,107 to YaGotMeeeh.

Hand Analysis
Kikelakesm makes a fairly aggressive three-bet in this hand, as K-J offsuit is supposed to mix preflop. Calling is the preferred option, but there’s some three-betting as well. YaGotMeeeh also has a mix, but 9s mainly call preflop, with the solver being more aggressive holding jacks or better.
The flop favors the in-position player, so betting often for mostly smaller sizes is fine. YaGotMeeeh is supposed to mostly check-raise with middle set, but calling sometimes is okay too.
On the turn, kikelakesm strays from the solver strategy, as the computer likes being aggressive with basically all of its good top pair hands. Kikelakesm opts to check back, which sets up an interesting river spot.
In this situation, YaGotMeeeh is supposed to play a lot of jams with trips or better. Missed straight draws are the primary bluffs. Obviously, 9s full is a good enough hand to jam, but YaGotMeeeh gets tricky and checks.
At that point, kikelakesm has a mandatory value-bet with top pair, and they can go big with pot-sized bets. Once the trap is sprung, the K-X hands are too good to fold, as they block value and beat every bluff, plus the pot is giving kikelakesm very good odds on a call.
