Of to the hand:
I don't think that matters a lot but villain is MiPwnYa.
How should I build my strategy in a situation like this? Right now, it's basicly:
a) fold trash,
b) bluffraise some frequency with parts of equity like backdoors, gutshots,
c) raise with strong hands to balance my bluffs.
Problem: how should I play hands that i would like to continue (such as QQ,KK,9x,35, etc) but at the same time I prefer not to raise? Constructing my range as stated above makes it very easy for villain to put me on a hand once i take my action (either raise or call).
Should I split my strong hands action frequencies, lets say 50% raise and 50% call?
Peace!

Your c/c range OOP will be weak'ish, that's true. But it doesn't necessarily stay weak on all turns. It will not be easy for Villain to put you on a hand on the turn, as long as your flop c/c range includes hands that together cover lots of turn cards. Especially those that Villain doesn't like.
Good first post. I'm not entirely sure how you should construct your range here. It makes sense that you want to have strong hands (sets) in your c/c range. However, you're so polarized when you c/r the flop and there just aren't many value hands you can show up with. If you put 50% of them in your c/c range it just seems like you're going to end up bluffing way too much on the flop.
This is one of those spots where you want to attack the flop some, but also want to have strong hands in your c/c range (like you said). But it's hard to do both because you just don't have enough monsters to balance them. I'd love to hear more thoughts on this.
what are you doing with those hands in this spot? try to take a similar line here
That said, I'd still only raise this around 2/3 of the time, depending on opponent type.
Would you agree though that with deeper stacks you should have a reasonably wide flop raising range here? even ip?
It really depends on how wide villain is 3betting the button, and how villain is constructing his range.
1st) tighten up your 3betting range, villain is using his position and making our life hell
2nd) 4bet wider range, and it will be a variance war
3rd) open smaller on CO vs wide 3better on the BTTN (2.5x for example)
I think these are standard adjustments preflop
Back 2 postflop ;).
On 942r
Our range will include
- draws 8765, A53x, 9876
- sets 99xx,44xx
- 2pair combo's are fairly rare.
- overpairs KKxx,QQxx (depends on dynamic/range of villain on bttn)
- 1pair with overs 9xxx (with BDFDs)
I think my range depends on the flop, really depends how much pressure villain apply's on future streets (turn/river).
When villain is putting a lot of pressure, I will just check-call flop with my whole range, where i would like to continu with. Planning to check-shove turn with a range, whereby I improved equity wise, and with my value hands.
Check-raise bluffing on this board, i am not big fan of it. We don't rep a lot of value/semi bluff hands. Villain is likely to play back on it. I am not really sure about it, because i expect villain will adjust his cbets
frequency/range on this texture.
VS a weak tight player, I am more likely to check-raise my strong hands, strong draws. These type of player is more likely to be high-card heavy.
