3bet pot, dry flop, balanced strategy
Very common situation vs unknown enemy:
-We 3bet(18%) from sb against button steal, and button flats.
-Flop is very dry and low, like 222, 223r etc......
How do we balance our continuing ranges here?? Do we want to have check/call range at all cause we have all the high pairs in our range, and we also wanna protect our midpairs, and bluff a lot.
For me it feels stupid to turn hands like AK, and AQ to bluff, so I play these hands sometimes by check/calling. But strategy where we c-bet everything else than these 16 combos seems to be higly exploitable. So what should we do? Add AA to our check/call range? Use the random generator to decide how many times we check/call to our big pairs? Or just forget whole check/call shit and push 3streets every time.....? :D

Think I like cb my whole range. and then building a xc range on the turn
This!
Seriously, lately I've been cbetting my entire range on these type of boards, because we benefit a lot from betting with most of our range, and we do have a big range advantage given the fact that we have all the big pairs that villain can't have, and it's hard for villain to have those rare nuts (A2/33...). Cbetting your entire range makes your life easier too, because you don't have to think about your checking range at all. And betting AK/AQ is not a bluff really, it's more like a semibluff. Villain does call you with worse hands and we can showdown, we also turn very strong hands and we can valuebet very comfortably.
Having a check/calling range is also fine, but it's always kind of hard to pull it off perfectly, since we should have all kinds of hands in our checking range and we should bet different hands with x frequency and check with y frequency. Cbetting everything is a very good strategy in my opinion, and it is very easy to pull off.
I do some checking, without info pretty much based on my mood, villains call timing preflop, his screenname etc...
Yeap. Thanks guys.
If you are cbetting 100%, then I'm going to float you and take the pot away on turn/river.
Are you c/f turn on a blank or are you barreling 2-3 streets when you cbet 100%?
The former is bad....the latter is questionable.
How about to keep barreling hands that block the top of your calldown range+value hands, and develop protected check/call range on turn?
Yes
