Hi Taiga,

00:55- he will have all sets but he will also have lots of floats. And I only bet AQ because of the Aof clubs, which allows me to shove a club river! So AQ without ace of clubs I would check.

3:40 - against a weaker player we do not care about balance at all. So yes, like you said, i would not have many bluffs here, my range would be mostly value. I would shove any pocket pair for value, even 99, cant really do much else with it.

17:30 - Not even sure about AJ, because, what are his bluffs? I will have all AQ combos (sometimes 3bet pf but rarely), I will have sometimes AK as well. So with AJ, its very tough for him, he is OOP, so I dont expect him to be triple barrelling often as a bluff for me to call AJ. Its something I have to decide ingame, it depends on the opponent, if its a player who ill have KT JT KJ in his bluffing range then yes I'd call. But most of those hands are a x for regs on the river.

35:55 - you can call 77 with a diamond too, especially if his flop x-r is wide.

I think you are referring to the KTo hand?
Its simply a spot where the board is full of draws. When thats the case, the best overall approach, is to bet bigger on these boards, its a higher EV play, rather than have a strategy where you bet smaller like 50%. Also you need to consider positions + flop action. We are up against a BB who will have a fairly wide range, and since we are button (our opening range is also wide) he will have to call quite a lot of turns, and when we bet 50%, we make things simple for him and not extract enough value.
But lets change the board texture, so flop-turn are same, only 3 on the flop is a heart and turn 3 is a spade, then we can have a half pot betting strategy on the turn and KT would be okay to bet.

thank you

Hey,

vs button I prefer to 3bet AQo from SB.
