Thomas Emter is back with the next installment on his mastering 3bet pots series teaching you how to approach straight boards as the in position 3bettor. The video includes a discussion on how facing weaker players that don't fold versus 3bets and don't lead impacts the optimal strategy and finishes off with a short practice session.

Great video and series. Can you give any insight into one small detail of Vision, which is how it differs between types of hands (2 BDFD to no BDFD) when it is using them as cbet bluffs. On the 432 board, Vision seems to contradict itself- With AK87, it has the smallest bet % with 2 BDFD, and that seems logical, as we don't want to be raised off equity, as you say. But then, on the next example with Jt86, it has the bigger bet % with the 2BDFD. In what seems to be almost the same spot, it does the opposite. This ordering of the hands seems to differ in general in alot of spots, and I can't quite pinpoint the reasons why.

The one rule I can deduce is "If you block his check raise range, then you can go for value more, and can have the biggest cbet % with the 2BDFDs. If you unblock cbet range, the opposite." I guess it differs on small detail of each board, but I am trying to find more general rules!

Hey sturutter , great question!

With AK86, our playability when checking back Flop is much better than with JT86 in the first place.

The key difference is that we are folding out so much more equity with JT86 compared to AK86 (Many A,K,Q-high hands)
In order to pick our bluffs, we often have the requirement to pick up equity some amount of the time on the Turn with is somewhat easier with JT86ds compared to JT86ss.
The equity denial aspect with AK86 is obviously not so significant and we fold out less equity in general. With the doublesuited combination we are very interested in seeing Turns and Rivers because we dont want to get raised of our equity when CBetting, whereas cbet/folding JT86ds is obviously completely fine.

Let me know if that makes sense :D

Best,

great video! You were asking about opinions regarding the AQT5ds on T87r.

I guess, you actually gave the answer already in the video, we have not enough equity and so the TP blocker makes this a 100% bet frequency. If we would have more additional equity (gutshot, BD NFD) we are more inclined to check in order to realize it.

Hey PokerMatrixTV !

Sorry for the (very) late reply. Nice summary of the spot and I pretty much agree with your analysis. How has it been going lately in the PLO streets for you? :)

Emty
Is OOP lead C bet size also 33%?
Leading for 50% leads stack sizes to be pretty awkward on turns and rivers
Maybe this depends on whether the board is 2 tone or rainbow

Hey Saiyan_Hype !

Whether we want to lead 33% or 50% OOP does overall not really impact the EV of our play as long as we adjust our ranges accordingly. What often tends to happen in-game is that opponents don't react appropriately versus small leads as compared to big sizings where they usually have less room to make mistakes since they will be faced with a somewhat "easier" decision when facing the big sizing. SPR certainly can play a role in this but I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Best,
Emty
