Hey !

Quite close for our AQ/AT I think, but beside that I think it's a quite clear checkback for our 2p region. The low frequency of AA that we have can go in there for sure.

Small sizing would be an exploit, as you will be scarifying some value betting your straights for anything but large(IP on the river it's very rare you bet small to begin with), but it's an option if you think you will get very loose calls from your opponent, or if you think he simply doesn't defend vs large enough.

Thanks for the feedback,
Cheers

Hey !

I'll prefix this by saying when you see something like this it's likely a weaker opponent, so your vpip hands should be tailored to that opponent.

Couple things at play here, short stack and larger sizing(for that stack). With shorter stacks we start calling less robust equity and more high card type hands, since the game on average now ends on an earlier street; so K6s > 87s. Larger sizing pushes us away from calling and towards a raise/fold game (all in in this case), therefore take the aforementioned range and start folding one end and jamming the other end, with a bit of calling in the middle + AA,KK

I'd draw my threshold here at ATs, AQo for the Aces. Probably something like 77+, most suited broadways, with the pairs, Ax and KQ, KJ doing a ton of jamming. I did not know the player so staying on the cautious side here, could certainly read this as just a misplayed sizing for his stack size and start jamming hands like AJo. I think it must be close to a neutral hand either way.

Thanks! Not super familiar with HU anymore, I find that studying fringe games like 5 card PLO or even MTTs is a much better use of time now. Sad what happened to HUNL, I started my career playing 50nl HU for a living and it's still some of the most fun I've had grinding.

Didn't know you can link wizard solutions like that - sweet!

Thanks !

1:40 - At full stack with no information on the opponent I play this as 4bet/fold. Call is very close and not an EV loss I believe. Your strategy looks good.

3:20 - At a low frequency I think that's fine, we have a very wide range getting to the river here, combined with high SPR usually means a wide variety of bluffs included at a low frequency - so I don't have anything against raising. Did not cross my mind though I'll admit.

18:35 - A little bit too much showdown value to turn this into a bluff. Keep in mind we range bet flop, so we get here with a wide variety of potential bluffing hands. I think you're overvaluing the blockers a little bit as well, keep in mind a lot of the suited Jx region goes away preflop, and/or bets the turn.

31:50 - Don't like my sizing here, my thoughts were to target the 2p region and with the overbet I expected an overfold, but seems like a rushed decision looking back at it. I would have liked to split my range there into overbet and b50 or b66. This b80 seems neither here nor there.
