pretty fun hand to raise here, any incentive to just give up on this river and fold to this bet with the 4th diamond coming home on the river?

J9 and Q9 were some of the river raise bluff alongside some one pair hands like J8 and K9. You were also turning some small flushes into a bluff like 43dd and 54dd (which I would never have done lol). Mistakes were made.

I figured that two pairs w Ace would be pure aka not blocking bluffs. But solver prefers to call w it and then fold.

Interesting that the A6 doesn't raise here but most other 2 pair hands do. Looks like 96 doesn't raise either. Presumably then the 6 doesn't block any KdX whereas the other hands that bluff raise block some KdX?

Great live play.

12:35 table 1 on the turn can you start bluffing the q9 with blocks or half potting to represent kx or medium pocket pairs in order to fold out his own pocket pairs?

22:51 table 1 tt, you said a4 could be a better call. I guess I don't understand the blocker effects of a4 vs tt here.

30:20 table 2 k7, how do you feel about a river raise?

Thanks!

Thanks

12:35 - I still think that bluffing the low pps that didn't bet the flop is better. Or bluffing an actual draw like a gutter (JT) or a fd (76dd).

22:51 - 24:51 you mean right? A4 would be a better call because we block more value and dont block any bluffs. We block a set and two pairs and he should never bluff w an Ace otr. W TT, we block a bunch of random T9, JT, QT, etc that will always bluff the river. I would call though if I had a spade.

30:20 - It's better to raise w a pair here. So like 76 or 87.

This board in fact has a very high cbet frequency for SB. You are right that some A high monotone boards force SB to check often, but when there is another broadway card on the flop, lots of flushes are blocked by the board and so SB maintains its equity and nut advantage more. AKXm is the most extreme of these, given that A and K are the most important cards for blocking CO's flushes.

A53m however would be a range check for SB, so there is a large distinction between A high monotone boards. You see this in other spots too, such as 4bet pots.

Yes. v well explained. I simplify this spot by checking range (makes multitabling easier) but you can definitely have a cbet range on AKXhhh or AQxhhh.

thejericho2,
Some interesting hands. The hand at 27:00 where you have AK on flop of Ks Jd Ah turn 4h river As is an interesting spot to be in. As played on flop and turn, with action checking through on turn, do you ever block small here? Seems like it will check through a lot, but at same time it feels like only way to make more money is to get villain to bluff river or if they have Ax that value bets river and you can check raise. What are your thoughts on this spot after getting to think about further or run this spot through solver?

Thanks.

thejericho2 7 months ago

Yeah we can def block the river small here. I think that I would prefer to block Ax? AK, I just block too much of the board to always be betting there. Probably would bet 33% of the time, and check the rest.
