I don't like the overbet, I don't think we have a range advantage on this turn as our opponent can have lots of sets and possibly JTs while we have more overpairs. You are folding out his better AX with a more normal size bet (which I would make, around 3/4 pot). He can have lots of hands that often check back flop and improve the turn, including 88 98s 87s JTs. He can also have some JJ and TT avoiding flop ch/r which are happy calling the turn.

What value hands do you overbet with? If you can have 77-99 and JTs yourself with this line it makes a bit more sense, but you will often cbet these (not 88). I don't think you want to overbet your QQ+ here as you can easily be behind, and you will cbet these a fair amount anyway.

How are you balancing this overbet line? What is your cbet strategy on that flop?

,,What value hands do you overbet with? If you can have 77-99 and JTs yourself with this line it makes a bit more sense, but you will often cbet these (not 88).´´ I totally agree .. actually its pretty unbalaced maybe sometimes i ill do with AA or KK ,, but dont know ,,

That was just pretty exploitative play .. normally i use with this combo draws 1/3 on flop then 2/3 turn -(sometimes check ,, also same size with just a pair on flop then if i improve my hand on turn i ill continue 2/3 or check call . What do you think ?

_michael_ 4 years, 11 months ago

I definitely don't like it as an exploitative play, I think villain is relatively inelastic with his calling range here, so a normal bet sizing would get the job done. Personally I only bluff in situations where I take the same line with some good value bets.

We do stop him raising as much, but this hand can continue against a raise.

If the turn was a 3 rather than 8 then opponent has less strong value, and we could maybe try this with eg A4hh A5hh balanced with some strong hands, but I still don't like it much.

Don't like it either, it doesn't make much sense given the preflop action and ranges. We don't have sets and aren't even 3-betting TJs at a high frequency. Unless you play a totally different 3-bet range than I would here.
I would bet 66% of pot and bet again on river if we want to bluff. Seems more effective.

bet flop bet turn jam river

_michael_ 4 years, 11 months ago

I don't like this line. 2 barrel is reasonable but 3rd barrel is dodgy, we block loads of his missed draws and we don't block his calling hands. I much prefer giving up river.

Mixing bet and check on the flop is fine with this hand.

Gino Song 4 years, 11 months ago

i cheated and looked into ai/solver and they agree with you: bet 2 streets check and checking on most if not all rivers if missed. So I guess im a spewtard then.

OOP Strategy OTF. With standard bet sizes PIO chooses to c-bet 30% pot 93% of the time


OOP Strategy OTT when IP called our bet. Strategy here is to CHECK 100%. Bet sizes provided were 30, 50, 70, 100, 120 and 150% pot


This is IP's assumed raise/call range against SB 3bet

I wonder how your solver come up with 2nd barrel OTT here. Were the ranges you used very different from mine? Very interesting deviation.

_michael_ 4 years, 11 months ago

Thanks for this analysis. What this demonstrates is how the 8 is a better card for villain than us, to the point where the solver only checks. The IP calling range used gives him a lot of strength on this board, in reality random villain's calling range is not exactly like this (eg full weightings of lower SCs), but it seems reasonable. It also confirms that the overbet is a big deviation from optimal.

Dr.Hans 4 years, 11 months ago

Yeah, the ranges are adapted from a 100BB 6-max monker solution (with slightly differnt sizings and also differnt weighting). Average villain's range will be different! :D

...Yeah 8 is a horrible card for us


IP EV on different turns


OOP EV on different turns

_michael_ 4 years, 11 months ago

Wow that is an extreme difference, I was not expecting it to be that much worse than a 9,T,J. This may be because we have discounted suited gappers entirely, but it still gets the point across that an 8 is a horrible card for us.

Dr. hans i ran a few sims and if you give solver multiple sizes on the flop it always seems to prefer larger sizings VS the smaller ones...

Tonyzer 4 years, 11 months ago

somethings not right here either i did something wrong or you did, my ranges differ slighty but regardless if solver is given multiple bet size options OTF it will go for larger sizing... NOT 30%

Dr.Hans 4 years, 11 months ago

I gave it

30, 50, 65% OTF
30, 50, 70, 100, 120, 150% OTT and
30, 50, 80, 100, 120, 150% OTR
for both players

and also 50% raises for each, so they have a raising range as well...

OOP Range:
AA,KK,QQ,JJ,TT,99,88:0.5,77:0.5,AK,AQ,AJs,ATs:0.5,A9s:0.5,A8s:0.5,A5s:0.5,A4s:0.5,A3s:0.5,KQs,KJs,KTs,QJs:0.5,QTs:0.5,JTs:0.5

IP Range:
TT,99,88:0.5,77:0.5,33:0.5,22:0.5,AKs,AQs,AQo:0.5,AJs,AJo:0.5,ATs,A9s,A8s:0.35,A7s:0.35,A6s:0.35,A5s:0.8,A4s:0.8,A3s:0.35,A2s:0.35,KQs,KQo:0.5,KJs,KTs,QJs,QTs,JTs,T9s,98s:0.5,76s,65s,54s

It chose the 30% raise OTF 93% of the time and check OTT almost 100%

Solutions were calculated to very high accuracy.

Maybe I made a mistake.... Would be very interesting to find out why we come up with different strategies in the same scenario!

Dr.Hans 4 years, 11 months ago

I ran the solver again with no raising ranges and now it continues betting the turn 75% of our range while making a 150% overbet with AhTh.

When it goes check check OTF it c-bets the turn 100% of our range while choosing only a 50% bet... On the flop though it still never chooses a large sizing!

The strategies change drastically, depending on whether villain has hands that he will raise to our c-bet. When I think about it, it might have been better not to give villain a raising range...

MatoStar 4 years, 11 months ago

I mean its pretty assumptive to expect that villain does not have a raising range when we do cbet 30% of the pot on a flop like this:)
