There is a spot where you defend BB vs BTN with K4o, and flop is Kc7c8x. You mention you don't have much of a check-raising range because of how many hands you will have that just want to call. For value, you mention check-raising a hand like KQ, especially with the Queen of clubs.
How does one approach a spot like this to determine a reasonable value vs bluffing check-raise ratio on the flop, and what kind of hands we want to choose to check-raise bluff with? When does it (if ever) make sense to check-raise a weak paired hand (like a weak bottom pair) if we think we can deny equity versus an aggressive opponent or should we keep choosing hands with worse showdown value?
Thanks for the question ron, as far as determining our x/r range for bluffs I think that hands with immediate strong outs (gutshots mainly), hands that turn nut draws (naked Ac on this board, Axs bd fd, gutshot + bd fd, bottom pair + bd fd) also do quite well here. You can certainly do some raising with bottom pair combos that have the ability to turn some equity as they both need a little bit of protection. The idea is to have hands that have the opportunity to barrel on some turns and that you dont hate having x/f on others.
Thanks, Im glad you enjoyed the video. As to your question I think I would tend to check back more w/ JJ no club given that gives him quite a few more x/r combos that are difficult for us to play against and JJ is a hand that doesnt really need that much protection on this board.

Hope this helps!
First let me say this was very nice video.
18:40 JJ Would you check back without Jack of club there?

great content, great format. keep it up
Like this style seeing what you fold is super helpful. 4 tables works well as beyond that as much as anything stack sizes get harder to see !
