The check at 31:57 seems very good to me, would you play x without QsKs?
I think at the time in game I would have bet A7 unblocking KQ. In my head I would have thought that when I unblock Kx or Qx it makes it more likely IP has SDV that is going to be checking back (hands like AK and AQ) but now in hindsight having seen the sim of course I would just check my full range. It wasn't close in the solver and building a betting range would be very exploitative. Only against the most passive calling station players would I start building a betting range because I don't think my checking range would ever be punished by them.
First hand turn play, it seems then if we have a dry 2pr we can bet for value and protection but be ok with folding to a raise. 2pr with additional marginal eq such as a weaker fd we check back to avoid folding that extra eq. 2pr with strong extra eq like a fd and sd or a nutted fd can bet call as the extra eq is good enough to go up against the xr rng of opponent. Does this seem like a reasonable heuristic to apply to other spots?
18:00 does having any 6 in that spot for the straight blocker increase our turn barrel frequency?
Great video. Thanks!
I dislike saying it's for 'value and protection'. While technically I guess it's not wrong I just don't like using those terms as I believe it leads you to make some incorrect decisions. I much prefer saying it's because of equity denial. Equity denial and 'value/protection' are quite similar but for me at least equity denial leads helps me wrap my head around hands like these better.
One type of 2p you forgot are 2p that don't have additional equity but do have some relevant blockers. I think these are the 2p that people would miss betting in these spots incredibly often so keep those in mind as those are super important imo.
18:00 Yes absolutely straight blockers here are super important
