nl50 TJs 3b pot oop

3bet pre because BB was capable of sqzing. (15% in this spot)
Co is nitty reg 21/16 with 19% CO open and 62% Fold vs 3bets.

Postflop not sure about my line.
When is it better to x/c this hand, when to cbet ?

As played x/c turn i think is fine, not sure about rvr.
Thoughts ?

0.19*0.62=0.06 Assuming he slowplays QQ+ maybe 1/3 of the time and 4b AK+ 100%. I put this in equilab and got JJ-88, AhAs, AhAc, KhKs, KhKc, QhQs, QhQc, AQs-ATs, KQs, JTs, T9s, AQo. Assuming he never raises flop (not really true but for arguments sake) he continues with all pairs, flush draws and AQ with A diamonds. He basically calls with his whole range on the flop. OTT I expect most villains to check back 88 and 99 so if we take those out of his range. OTR I expect JTs and T9s to check back as well so we can take those out of his range. So for betting the river he has a polarized range of TT, JJ plus 1/3 of QQ+ combos for value and bluffs he has KQs ATs-AQs. Against your hand OTR you have 45% equity when you need 28.75/(28.75+43) = 0.4.

Now assuming villain never 4b and has all overpairs and AK+ in his range preflop. Villian is nitty and might just fold AK we get 28% equity on the river.
My assumptions are likely wrong but it seems like a close call if he 4b’s a reasonable range and if he flats all premiums then you are crushed.

If that`s a larger sample his flatting range vs 3b looks like QQ-88,AdAh,AdAc,KdKh,KdKc,ATs+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,AQo+ more less.

OTF --> He pretty much only continues with 88-AA, JTs-ATs, AdQx, AdKx, QJdd-AJdd,KQdd,AQdd,AKdd.

OTT --> When he bets we can safely exclude all AdXd combos, so that leaves him with TT-AA,JTss-ATss, QJdd-AJdd,KQdd,AQdd,AKdd.

OTR --> I`m quite sure he would only value bet ATs and xb Jts-Kts, so that leaves him with 14 value combos --> ATs, TT-AA, and only 5 air combos --> AdKd,AdQd,KdQd,KdJd,QdJd.

You need around 29% to make the call, and vs that range you have around 27%.
Even if we took out 4 combos of KK-AA, we still need him to bluff 80% of his air combos 100% to make the call profitable, which considering he`s a nit is very unlikely.

Edit : I forgot backdoor flush draws, so AQcc,AKcc,AJcc,QJcc,KJcc,KQcc (not sure if he floats all of them) are a part of his range as well, so kinda closer then i thought.

I dont expect him to have KK, AA as he would 4bet pre (at least some % of the time). Also, not sure about him vbetting AT OTR. Im not saying its a bad play but I dont most vilain would be scared of overpair and would cb river with AT.

@Brandon: It's dangerous to take a ftcb stat which is almost certainly different depending on which board or preflop situation got him to the point where he's facing a cbet and assume that it represents exactly how he plays in this scenario.

Numbers: I dunno. I think this is quite a good bluffcatcher since we block JJ and TT but don't block any draws which missed so I would press call I guess. I would expect him to have continued with good bdfds OTF sometimes as well as the other more obvious draws which missed.

kevson180 10 years, 4 months ago

Ofc both is fine. Personally, I would like a x/c here a bit more, because we do not block many draw (= bluffing) combos, so we have a good hand to x/c three streets.

cpau 10 years, 4 months ago

thats a good point, but at the same time, we need protection against all KQ, AJ, KJ type hand. That's an arguments for cbetting. I dont know at 50nl, but at lower stakes, I'd cbet because people call too much.

cpau 10 years, 4 months ago

I agree with the river call. Vilain can only have few value combos (TT, JJ and QQ = 10 combos), but can also have some missed draw (AKss, AQss, AJss, KQss, KJss, QJss and some AdXx). He doesnt have to bluff all those to make a call profitable for the hero.

Co is nitty reg 21/16 with 19% CO open and 62% Fold vs 3bets.
Then I put him mostly on JJ, TT, QQ. If he has a fd, he probably check turn or bet bigger OTT.
This line looks like overpairs and set.

cpau 10 years, 4 months ago

would you call JJ in vilain's shoes OTF ? or raise it ? I was wondering if we can remove some JJ or QQ combo because he could raise them OTF, but I dont think there is much value in doing it. I mean, we arent calling with worse than JJ to a flop raise..

Jonas Smailys 10 years, 4 months ago

I'd start by checking flop, we don't really have much of a vbet even on this board.
River is close-ish, it's probably the best Tx hand for bluff-catching but at the same time I'm not sure people are really bluffing that often when they're repping pretty narrow and everything whiffed.

Cozacu 10 years, 4 months ago

The nit in me says fold river :)). I don't know if call /fold is better on the river... depends a lot on what villain thinks about your range as well. Does he expect you to fold a lot on river, if so you can make the call but otherwise I do believe folding is fine, he probably ain't bluffing that much on river to be worth a call.
