HJ: Player1: 100

BN: Player5: 128.50
SB: Player6: 169.15
BB: Hero: 110
UTG: Player10: 101.50
Preflop (1.50) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt J K
Player1 folds, Player1 raises to 3, Player3 folds, Player5 calls 3, Player6 folds, Hero raises to 11, Player1 raises to 19, Player5 folds, Hero calls 10

Hey guys,

I am always unsure which hands I should Cc or sqz.

This is my work to find an answer, let me know what you think and how do you approach this situation!


What is the MP oR?

22+,ATs+,A5s-A2s,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,T9s,98s,87s,76s,ATo+,KJo+ (16,74%)

What is the BU Cc?

QQ-22,AJs+,KJs+,QJs,JTs,AQo+ (8,9%)


Which hands do we value sqz?

QQ+/AK (2,56%) 34 combos

How many combos do we want to bluff?

When 3betting a polarized range I try to bluff around 40%-50% of my range vs an unknown player, do you agree here? But vs tight ranges (UTG/MP) I like to bluff not to much and keep it at 40%. Therefore I shoud bluff around 23 combos...


So which hands should we bluff?

How important are blockers (AQo/KQo)?

How important is that we can Flop some SD/FD (suited connector)?

Which hands play better vs. a Callingrange?


- AQo/KQo

Do not play good as a Cc, but block a lot of good hands that would continue (QQ+/AQ+/KQs). We can Flop pretty good vs some hands but we will probably do not win a big pot but are able to loose one w the 2.best hand.

-suited connectors

Play good as a Cc, and do not block anything. But we can Flop some good hands on lowcard flops w our range and are able to flop more SD/FD. We can stack Villain sometimes with the nuts but will rarely flop a good MH.

- A2s-A5s

Play ok as a Cc, but would block AA/AK/AQ as well. We can Flop some good draws and stack Villain sometimes with the nuts and will flop sometimes a TP wich dominates Villains middPairs but gets crushed by his better Ax hands.


I think that blocking Ax is quite important if I want to bluff in this spot and would suggest this range as a Sqz:

QQ+,AKs,A5s-A3s,AQo+


Let me know what your approach is and what your thoughts are.
