playing vs reg 28/22, 3b BTN vs MP 10%, fold vs 4b 50%
PF is a standard play I think, I love 4betting here AJ/KQ/A2-A5s with some freq.
FLOP: I like x/c on this Q high board. I think his range is ~JJ+, AQ, maybe KQs with some frequency and probably some suited connectors as well.
River: 2 options for me, bet or xc. I decided to xc to make my range "stronger", maybe he's going to spazz with his SC or other air hands, and try to fold my AK or JJ.
I think I played this hand quite nice.

My question is, what's villains bottom value range should be OTR? TBH I'm really confused what I've seen, it was JJ hand imo it's a spazz and probably I'm folding worse hands, since we dont have any history against each other. So it seems that or this guy is overaggro or I have enormous leak, and I'm just overfolding in this type of spots.

see your lane and JJ is a value river
he can also have AQ, QKs, maybe 77+, you have a close call here always depends on vilain tendencies, he may have QQ+ also, just fold ur hand pf he is BU vs UTG btw

Vs mp in 5handed. Its nice 4b withbsome freq since i block qq, kk, ak and dont block his Ax bluffs combis

Don't mind how you played it at all, but when you say you hope he spazzes with his SC OTR really the only suited connector you beat is T9, 89 probably checks back and hopes to win w/ 2nd pair pretty much all other SCs have you beat: 7x has a straight, 65, 86, 45, 85 all have two pair.
That said I also think he keeps bluffing a lot of those combos OTT, along with all of his flushdraws, AA, KK def keep betting OTT so his range OTR is actually pretty weak.
Add to that that on the flush card he really doesn't bet any of his two pairs or sets or AQ to this size. (especially w/ the 4 straight on board too)

Also note, though, that it's pretty hard to find bluffs in villain's range here, he needs to be bluffing with a bunch of missed broadways like KJhh/AJhh and I'm not sure he has enough of those types of hands if he only 3bets 10% and on top of that folds 50% of that to your 4bet.
+ I think he's likely to check those hands back OTF rather than bet them when you check.

All in all this hand is just really confusing and I'm entirely unsure what the 'right' move is here, I think it counts for something that you check flop and under rep your hand which makes me like your river call more.

Thanks for meaningful comment!
That's right that I hope for spazzes OTR, but I think I can find x/c there since I need only ~29% equity. It might be probably slighlty +ev call, because of underepping hand.

Anyway, how do you find his bottom value range OTR?

Drudges 8 years ago

I think it's very hard to determine villain's value range here because of how weirdly the hand was played but I imagine the bottom of his value range is AQ here, along with that he def has some flushes and maybe straights (but really not that often if his range here is really as tight as 5% preflop)
Maybe some AA, KK that he randomly checks back on the turn, maybe some weirdly played two pair.
With this many value hands in his range that beat you, I don't think it's likely villain bluffs enough to balance that on this river so I feel like it's a fairly easy exploitative fold, especially since you have some flushes yourself and maybe some sets or straights to call. (something like 87s)

seems fine in theory, though the sizing/line is generally not a bluff and I'd fold exploitively.

Tomasz K 8 years ago

hard to say that sizing is not generally a bluff. What's so value in it? I'd say this sizing is fishy, when he's ~20$ in stack left.

WM2K 8 years ago

Ya I dont see it both being a good idea to try to get someone off a pair or people trying to get us off a pair here. I d fold.

WM2K 8 years ago

Leaving 20 behind often is a read that its more value looking for a call. Like why else would you leave 20 behind?

Tomasz K 8 years ago

I dont know. I think we just can't say explicit that it's a value. Since last few days I've seen few bluffs with few buyins left in stack, so we cannot generalize. TBH I dont like any sizing tells unless I have a note. I'd rather look at the timing tell, but didnt notice anything special in this spot.

Drudges 8 years ago

The sizing just changes the math, you need to call 62$ to win 152$, so you need to win about 36% of the time, which means he needs to be bluffing about the same % to make it a call because you don't beat any value hands in his range. In a 4bet pot it just seems unlikely he's bluffing enough OTR to make you call.
In the end you need to look at your own range too, you can't fold your entire range because then villain autoprofits with his bluffs, so basically on the river, with the line you took, if KQ is in the top 36% of your range you call it otherwise you fold (unless you have a read to deviate from GTO)
So basically if you want to find out what the GTO move is OTR just look at what your range looks like when you play like this and see where KQ is at in that range, from there you can see if you need to call the KQ.

(if anyone more familiar with GTO reads this feel free to correct me if this is wrong)

Tomasz K 8 years ago

yeah I get it, I know that I'm really high in my range so probably I cannot fold it. You said before, that line is weird, why do you say it's wird? Would you play it in a different way? Regarding to flop and turn

Hey Drudges,

I'm not sure you're right when you say that 'you need 36% to call so he needs to have the same % of bluffs to make it a call'.

This spot makes it a bit easier to figure out as it looks like a straight bluffcatcher spot where we beat none of his value but all of his bluffs. Needing 36% on the river (I'm gonna assume those are the right odds btw) means we get roughly 2-1 on a call. This means that villain needs to have half as many bluffs as he does value (2 value hands for 1 bluff) in order to make this a call.

So in this spot it will be 8 combos of AQ, 1 combo AdKd, 3 combos KK and 6 combos AA (this could be wider or narrower but glancing through the hand this seems reasonable) which is a total of 18 value combos. This mean villain needs to be bluffing with 9 combos of hands in order to make this a call theoretically.

Tomasz K 8 years ago

imo he's value range is much narrower because of turn XB. I assume that most of his AA or KK would bet on this street.
