excited to join the forum. Awesome content so far. I really appreciate that Phil and some other site pros put in so much time to take part here.
About the hand:
We have only close to 50% vs a reasonable raise/call/get it in range otf. Given that we have position with an spr of about 4 and many good turns with our bdfd's I think a bet/call is the only way to go.
On the turn we certainly get good enough immediate pot odds to call another time so a fold is out of the question. So is a raise in my mind since the 7 is obv the best card for BB's semibluffing range on the flop and now that he bets the turn straights make up a huge part of his range. Apart from that I think we are very likely to make fewer mistakes than our opponent an the river due to position and our range being wider than his ("bad visibility"? not sure how to use that term yet).
On the river his range should contain few bluffs and his sizing is in line with his strong/polarized range. Even if he got here with sth. like J974 I don't think he would vbet it or turn it into a bluff since Hero should still have a decent amount of slowplayed nuts in his range. I think a fold is correct otr.
Hi,
Would either of you ever check behind on the flop?
Only thing I might change is to 3Bet the flop. You block a lot of his value range and this deep you can get value as he's going to continue with all his draws. Plus, you can barrel a ton of turns, and even half the straight cards give you a FD.
The only thing I would never do is 3bet flop as his stackoff range is too strong and there is no need to protect top two agains all other draws as it reduces its equity sustantially and you can control the pot position wise.
