Hey Nuno, cool video! You explain your thought process and how to play your range in every spot very clearly.
24:00 - You're surprised that villain checks back his 2pair otf considering his high cbet%. Would you start adjusting your oop flop strategy against this guy based on this hand alone or would you need more info first? How would you react in general against a strategy of high cb%, but showing up with strong hands in xb range?
Thank you so much for the kind words, they mean a lot for me, glad you liked the video too, antihero!
Great question, I definately would need more info to start adapting against this. I believe that having a high cbet% frequency and being able to show up with strong hands in the xb range is kinda difficult to do well because you are going to be very explotable for your opponent letting him to start check raising the flop + betting the turn at a high frequency or simply calling your cbets more often to steal the pot later on, so that´s basically how I would adapt against this particular strategy.
Hi Nuno,
Great job on the video.
Regarding the J7o hand where you c/r river on 9Q784hhh...
I understand the logic behind a turn c/r, especially with the looming threat of a river bet by us on various scare cards, but are we really checking many value combos planning on a riv c/r given that villain checked back turn? Wouldn't we lead two pair or better combos on river once villain checks assuming most 9x and weak Qx are checking river?
I feel like our range is heavily skewed towards bluffs with blocker combos in this spot. I'm not entirely sure an overbet on river is better, but I feel like there are some turn combos in our range that might overbet river if we perceive villain is checking back weak Qx or J9+.
It's pretty clear that Villain doesn't have too many hands that can stand a c/r, so maybe it doesn't matter regarding balance. All in all, I love the logic and really wish villain bet turn lol.
Hey SG thanks for the kind words
I think that on this particular spot I'd check some two pairs (specially the ones that don't block his thin valuebetting range) and some flushes in order to be able to have a balanced checkraising range with hands like this one.
Regarding betting the river ourselves, I believe that J7o is too strong to bluff after have faced a check back on the turn. And yeah, him beeting the turn would have made things much more interesting :P
Hi Nuno,
Thanks for the response. That certainly makes sense. I think incorporating those combos into my river checking range is something I need to implement more often.
I got into a similar situation HU vs. a LAG friend of mine at 50NL (130bb effective). I raised Q7o and he flatted. Flop Q52cc. He checked, I checked. Turn 7s. He led $2 into $3, I raised to $8, he called. River was a third club (rank is escaping me, but it didn't pair board and I still had top two). He checked, I bet $13 into $19, and he shoved. I tanked forever and called and he had J4cc. Thus, I can see the value of having this balanced range.
