$100 plo zoom, planning ahead on J42r Q board
SB: $100 (Hero)
BB: $105.74
UTG: $200.97
HJ: $355.05
CO: $113.97
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO raises to $2, BN folds, Hero calls $1.50, BB calls $1
I usually 3bet this pre from SB, but is flatting wrong?
To my dismay, CO quickly calls, which makes me think he probably doesn't have JJ or 44 very often.
Here's where it gets interesting imo.
First off, in retrospect I probably should have gone with a bigger sizing, given how many draws this turn card brought. My original plan was to pot/fold but that seemed a bit dirty, so I opted to go for $22/fold but that might be a mistake.
Now, as for whether to bluff this turn or not:
I think villain will fold naked J4/J2 here quite often, and 42 almost always if he didn't on flop already.
(J4, J2)!(JJ, 44, 22, QJ, 53, 63, A3, A5) = 6306 combos
(I ruled out 42 because I think he would have folded that on flop, but if we include this our bluffing becomes even more profitable.)
He will certainly call with all wraps:
A53 = 1776 combos (AJ53, A543, A532 he might 3bet on flop but these are 384 combos)
653 = 1776 combos (likewise, he might 3bet on flop with J653, 6543, 6532)
AKJT = 72 combos
KJT9 = 96 combos
JT98 = 128 combos
AJT9 = 96 combos
Total = 3800 combos
He will call/shove with QJ or better:
KQJ, AQJ, QJT, JJ, 44, 22 = 7918 combos
Now, if we can assume he is always folding naked J4 and J2, and continuing otherwise, we will get a fold about 34% of the time (=6306/18024). When we bet $22 into $34 it has to work about 39% of the time, so we're not quite getting the odds, but there's a few factors that will make up for it:
- Because I expect him to shove or fold all better made hands on turn (folding J4- and jamming QJ+, for example), when we get called I think we will have the best made hand quite often.
- When behind, we can still improve sometimes: T will give us the nuts (except Ts), J is probably a good one too, K and 6 might too.
That said, what do you think about flop/turn play? Does my range estimation seem reasonable?
And more importantly, what's our plans for river if he calls? My plan was to jam on T, jam or x/c on J, x/f on 6/5/3, bluff on Q/4/2, and quite unclear on other river cards.
