I have played a lot with BTN 22/18 with a 13% call open, 5khands and i haven't really seen anything to him, ive marked him as bad since ive seen him miss some value by not jamming in obv valuespots in 3b pots etc.

SB i've marked as a fish but he is playing 4tables 24/18 so he is probably just a badreg.

To call river I would need him to turn Ahxh into a bluff?

Hi,

First of all I would prefer a little bigger turn bet to protect many draws against two potential opponents, out of position. That being said, him only calling two streets while being squeezed doesnt show a lot of strength. With that ace on the river who doesn't complete the draws, i don't see myself checking very often.

In fact, if i check there given the action, my only response to his shove is a clear call nh if you beat me, but with the given infos, I prefer value bet on the weaker side to price any Axss(who obviously won't value bet the river given your infos) , sometimes weaker Jx who would have bet bigger if i check anyways...
On top of that, you said that the vilain hasn't done anything crazy after a 5,000 sample hands, i don't expect him to bluff our bet on the river very often, if even possible. I would not worry about the SB either.

Hmmm I guess you're beating {JTss, J9ss?, T9/98/87/76/T8(?)hh, and anything else he decided to spazz-float with on the flop that picked up clubs and/or just randomly decided turn was a good float spot (ie. likely not much)}

Given that it's most likely < 10 combos and {AJ/KJ/55} are 13 combos... likely +3 77 combos for 16 if I'm not mistaken. I think I like the fold. However, something to note about situations like this when nut/bluff combos are very small is that it doesn't take all that many added spazzbluff combos to make calling the right play.

hi as an even nl200 player it looks like a call to catch missded FD + worse trips, so i try to undestand why im wrong.i try to undesrtand you maht sean but it dont

i find 11 combos (not big diference) for AJ KJ 55 ( 5d5c, 5s5c, 5s5d, AcJc, AhJc, AdJc, AsJc, KcJc, KhJc, KdJc, KsJc)

but i dont undestand this" likely +3 77 combos for 16 if I'm not mistaken."
hope i dont troll dont hesitate to tell me

Remember as well that button has called twice on prior streets with someone left to act behind him and would now have to be attempting to bluff two other players on the river. I don't think there's any way that villain has the courage to bluff both players here 100% of the time with his missed draws. He's also likely to check back Ax when he double floated the nut flush draw.

Group 1: hands that I don't beat

Group 2: hands that I beat.

Combonator Output combonator.com
Board: Jh Jc 5h 7c Ad
Vs Hero Cards: Qs Jd


Grouped: 16 combos, 1.6% [Hero Eq: 21.88%]

Group 1: 14 combos, 87.5% (1.4% total) [Hero Eq: 10.71%]
Group 2: 2 combos, 12.5% (0.2% total) [Hero Eq: 100.00%]

Group 1: Manual selection

77, 55, AJs, AJo, KJs, KJo, QJo

Group 2: Manual selection

J9s+

1 combo of 77


Here is how we do equitywise vs. that range.

If we jam OTR at least BTN will probably realize that he is bluffcatching with the few combos that I beat and I will never have the required "50%" vs their calling range for it to be a profitable VB and I think a lot of the time given how the hand was played one of them will have a Jx+. (I don't think the bad reg calls Ax at all).

However I do not need to have 50% vs their calling range for the VB to be neutral EV, this depends on how often they're gonna fold when we jam, and when thats said, them folding shouldn't be a good thing per se since those folds will all be worse madehands/potentially bluffhands. I'm clueless mathwise to say a lot more to this.

However if we check and one jams we only need ~33% equity but I realize now that at least BTN should realize that it probably is a bit tough to get value with J9s, JTs so I think he might check those a decent amount.

If we however think that he jams all of this range { 7h7s, 55, AJs, KJs, J9s+, AJo, KJo, QJo }, we need to find very few combos as Lefort already pointed out - 4combos (and that could e.g. be KhQh, KhTh, QhTh, Th9h) to give me over 33% equity vs BTNs range.

However as I pointed out, I'm uncertain whether or not he will be jamming worse hands for value at all and even though BTN should jam all his bluffs when i ck, I'm not sure he will given that I do have some Jx that c/c in my perceived range and SB have a lot of Jx+ aswell.

It is quite amazing how Ah is so different compared to 3h or even Kh (given how many combos of nutfds that suddenly have a pair and most likely will ck back for SD-value.)

Actually imagine the scenario where the river isn't Ah but instead 3h, checking our entire jx+ range could be way higher ev than jamming as long as we assume that BTN jams any draw/jx which is equal to 100% of his range?

Well at least checking the part that isn't too high EV to jam ourselves like QJ should so easily become better to c/c.

at first i gave gim more suited hands that what you do in group 2, but now i think i gave him too many hands to call sb, and call 2 barres with a naked FD on a paired board
so reading your mahs it toally agree that we cant bet river for value and i also think (now) it's an easy X/F given his river range
would be glad to read nl 400+ player on this hand
igotya 12 years, 2 months ago
The group 2 was meant to be the hands that I beat that calls a jam just to make it more readable.

Btw I apologize for the bad grammar in my previous post, no edit option yet.

I don't think theres much more to the hand tbh, I think most is covered.

i think a lot of players are playing any jack and 55 faster on the flop. he could have called flop and turn with 77 or J7 sooted. I would like to bet a funny amount (1/3 potish) on river or check call. If he shows up with a better hand you get a little info at least.
