Hi Brian, loving this format with the poker academy stuff!
Thank you! Been busy with WSOP but will do more in the future.
Appreciate all of the preflop sims.
39:25 was this a spot where you would look to turn the 22 into a bluff on turn or river? If you bluff turn is our hand good to barrel river?
Good luck at the series!
39:25 I don't see this as a spot to turn 22 into a bluff. We have many hands with less showdown value and should bluff those first. Jx are our best bluffs, 9x might get to bluff some too.
Spots where low pocket pairs are turned into bluffs are primarily spots where our range is relatively strong and these hands become pretty low in our range, plus unblock combos we want our opponent to fold.
Example we open HJ, BB defends. Flop AQ5 x/b75/call. Turn J, x/here is a decent bluff spot for 44-22, we have little showdown value on that turn card with our actual hand, but our range is strong overall and contains lots of nutted hands but also few hands worse than 22. Also 22 has 2 outs vs most of opponent's continues, which makes it a superior choice to a complete airball like 87s.
