Good point! Maybe I should have peeled here with a fairly high frequency optimally but it's a spot that'll tend to be underbluffed a lot and my hand is near 0EV

Nah, no need to randomize, girls confirmed best. Congrats Ben!

haha that could be true, but genetically it seems like you can't choose :P

seems good

we might prefer having the Ah instead. cos this completely unblocks IP's bluffs (he can always bluff Jh/Thx combos, such as J9o etc, but will never bluff any Ahx combos) and will thus increase our fold equity when we jam.

also, if we are to raise non all in, then we can also get re-bluffed occasionally if he over values his Ah blocker. this is a small factor, but i think still a relevant one. definitely at deeper stacks it is anyways. tbh i'm unsure if we simply jam all of our flushes, or have 2 sizings otr- one for weaker flushes and the other for stronger ones. cos i think by the river, IP is probably not even able to bet 2 pairs for value, with perhaps even some hands such as AA doing a poor job blocking bluff catchers and unblocking flushes for the bb. i'm unsure though, perhaps all sets are still able to v bet. but even if IP bets all sets+ for value, that doesn't mean a hand such as 54hh is able to value jam. which is why i kinda thought we may have a smaller sizing, to get calls from some frequency of sets/straights without a heart etc and not just jam and allow him to fold these hands and only call flushes himself, or JTo with a heart.

kinda rambling at this point, but just thinking out loud. guess the only way is to sim the hand otr, but i just finished grinding and its 1am so i am not in the mood to do so haha :P

Over Ah combos is ok since hero only has 2nd pair. Good point on removing Jh/Th blockers though from villains bluffing range. I would say if hero does have AhXx he might have too much SDV to bluff here. If Sauce thinks KxJh is a pure bluff catcher here, would think AhX falls into same category with some potential bluff possibilities.

I do like having two sizes here on the river. Even if it's just like 2.2x or shove. I don't play 500z, but I would still expect people to call with sets and 2 pairs vs small raise given the price and don't expect them to 3 bet bluff much without a ton of $ behind. Just my opinion though, I don't play in that pool.

Thanks for the feed back Demondoink

I ran this spot twice. The first time with forced oop check/IP 30% cbet. When that occurs, villain should be pretty passive on the turn, and 88h seems like a clear check on the river.

The 2nd run, I only forced oop check on the flop, and then IP with options of 30%, 55%, and 100% cbets, checks back 28% on the flop, 88h bets 60% of the time, and ~85% on the turn, and then gives up on the river.

I think that there are some regs that are 100% cbetting this flop for a small size and then overbluff the turn in this spot compared to gto. Against a gto villain, KsJh needs to fold some of the time on the river, and more often vs the 100% flop cbet strat because of the turn passivity. (2nd run below)
