Hey, thank you.

The AQhh hand, I agree that the bb will have a high check-raise frequency, but that just makes us check back the marginal value/protection bets(which in turn makes us bluff less, but certainly not never), we still have a range advantage here and on a board this dynamic we won't want to be checking back a lot of our strong made hands. I think AQ with bdfd just works well as a bluff randomizer; if we only use flush draws and straight draws we will run out of bluffing hands on a lot of turns which complete these draws (and therefore we won't get paid). AQ has decent equity against his continue range and will fold out some hands it's currently behind.

Hey,

Sorry my reply is so late. You're right I'm probably a little too harsh with this, but these small things add up when you're playing tough opponents. When it comes to EV difference between an overbet and 75% bet, within a solver solution it probably won't be very large, but I think players make pretty sizable mistakes vs sizings they aren't used to; the main one being not raising overbets enough on the flop, which allows us to nicely realize our equity. For that reason I believe the difference is significant enough to recognize that it's a mistake.

Cheers.
