But we are in the bottom part of our range and can have a certain frequency of many different nutted hands including AQ, AQ, A5, 55, QQ, and some flushes. Yes we bet flop with some of these but not at a 100% frequency.

What type of hands would you put in your bluffing range here?

Well you also have 67s 78s 89s 9Ts TJs KJs KTs I assume so how low is this combo the 6 is not doing much for you blocker wise. You are right we can have value, but I think in current meta this line is perceived blufy imo this is why I would be careful not to overbluff.I would try to take the (yes very small) amount of SDV the 6x has here and check that down and pick some other combo to bluff and be careful with the frequency

So I ran it in Pio and surprisingly (at first) it has us betting 67, 56 at a higher frequency than broadway air (JT, KJ, KT) if checked to on flop. Even if it goes x/x, x/_, Pio still bets the same frequency (1/3 as flop), which we can do bc we are checking back some flushes, A's, and some frequency of AQ. As played, the river is a slam dunk overbet. OTR, we arrive with various frequencies of flushes, Ax, boats to balance.

I think it makes sense now that I think about it. 1) Having broadway cards blocks a lot of his middling stuff (KK, JJ, TT) he would check since he is betting things like AK, AJ at higher frequency. 2) OTF, we don't have a notable range advantage so we must bet less and thus narrow our bluffing range. Thus Pio prefers low play-ability hands such as 78,56,55,44, etc w/o club. Agree?

But yea I hear you on the meta point, although player pool tendencies is usually under folding to large river bets (at least in my pools).

It bets 45 at high frequency, but frequencies decrease the higher the air (78>89>9T). Again, I think this is likely because lower air unblocks V's middling pairs. Just my guess.

I would expect that this combo more of a bet on flop than turn, and then triple/double barrels quite frequently, ur line can't be too bad I imagine, but I'd probably draw my bluffs from unpaired hands from turn

I don't think that in this scenario the turn card is not a good bluff card given the check-check on the flop on a monotone board. Would prefer bluffing the flop and continue on the turn with your hand as you prob have more flushes then the villain in your range.

On the river would take whatever small SDV value you have villain is not likely to fold e.g. KK or JJ with a club against the line you took.

Preflop is kind of marginal, but I think it's fine to call the 3-bet.

I think you should probably bet flop. When Villain checks on an Ace-high monotone flop in a 3-bet pot, he often has some kind of SDV. Your 6 is mostly not relevant for SDV, so it's good to turn it into a bluff.

I'm not sure betting turn makes a lot of sense. when action goes check/check flop, check turn. Villain likely has some kind of weak Ax, Qx or something like KK or JJ-99 with a club. I think you're not going to get many folds here, so you have to follow through on the river. That said, your SDV is likely even more worthless now, so I think it's good to turn this hand into a bluff. You don't block stuff like JJ-99 which will likely take this line. I think this hand is a better bluff candidate than KJ or JT, for example.
