Hi, I have played this tricky hand on NL25.
UTG: unknown, SB unknown
I think I could also 3bet this hand preflop vs minraise of UTG and it may evven be better than calling as we won't get squeezed and can isolate that UTG played. But I want to analyze this hand the way I played it.
First question is...what range should we call vs that squeeze? The problem is, our range is capped in this spot as we cold call preflop but at the same time it's pretty tight so we can call some part of it for sure. I will mostly have suited broadways, suited connectors and low to mid pocket pairs when I cold call vs UTG open. Something like this: JJ-22, AQs-ATs, KJs+, QJs, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, AQo - JJ will be 3bet most likely vs this open sizing but generally I will still cold call most of the times Bu vs UTG open.
When SB squeeze he risks 12bb to win 17bb pot - he needs ca 70% combined FEq to autoprofit. We don't have to defend so often as UTG will also call sometimes but our range is pretty strong (yet capped) so it isn't problem to defend enough. vs UTG I cold call with 116 combos and I would defend this range when UTG fold: JJ-99, AQs-AJs, KQs, JTs, AQo which is 46 combos.
Shall we def wider or tighter here ? I think this range is tight enough to defend profitably even tho we are capped.
I'm not sure what exactly SB squeezes here but I guess it could be somthing like this given he had KQo in this spot: TT+, ATs+, KQs, JTs, T9s, 98s, AJo+, KQo
On the flop the equity runs pretty much even given the ranges. Vs flop cbet we should def pretty wide as villain bets so small - we should defend almost 80% vs 33% sizing. I would call with this: JJ-99, AhQh, AsQs, AcQc, KhQh, KsQs, KcQc, AhJh, AsJs, AcJc, JhTh, JsTs, JcTc, AhQd, AhQs, AhQc, AsQd, AsQh, AsQc, AcQd, AcQh, AcQs - any pocket pair, any backdoor FD and some combos of AQo with Ah,As,Ac that blocks his possible backdoor AX hands. so I will def 39 combos of 46 combos.
Turn card improves our equity to ca 60% given the ranges. On the turn. vs the sizing we should def like 66% of our range to stop villain from autoprofitting. Therefore we should def ca 26 combos. I will def this: JJ-99, AcQc, KcQc, AhJh, AsJs, AcJc, JhTh, JsTs, JcTc ...calling with JJ trips, PPs again, with JX and with flush draws which is 21 combos so we even have to def with AQo again - with AcQx at least ant it will be 24 combos. It's not ideal but I think we can get away with this?
The river completes FD and villain shoves. WE should defend 60% of range vs this sizing so we won't be exploitable. Therefore we shouldcall down with: TT, JdJh, JdJs, JhJs, AcQc, KcQc, AhJh, AsJs, JhTh, JsTs...
By this calculation calling down with TT is mandatory given the ranges and ''GTO''. If we didn't have JJ in our range it would even be necessary to call with some combos of 99 to stay unexploitable. Our hand is bluffcatcher in this spot and we need villain to bluff at least 29% of times to be breakeven.
If he bluffs with KxQc in this spot I think he should also bluff at least with AcQx and AcKx but who knows how these players ''construct'' their bluffing ranges if they construct them at all...It seems he should have enough bluffs in this spot if he bluffs with this hand tho.
Question is: Is this right or shall we adjust our strategy given the tendencies of micro stakes players? Can we fold TT as players don't bluff enough on micro stakes generally ? This line feels kinda right from theoretical point of view but I'm not sure about actual microstakes gameplay.
