JTs in SB: How wide do you 3bet SB v CO and then call the 4bet?
I do not expect to have a strong enough range to lead such a flop tbh

Comment | Bulldozzer7 commented on Flop defending

Theoretically you should defend the Flop at a frequency that deters Villain from being able to wrecklessly bluff (keeping his weakest hands indifferent between checking and betting)
Since even very weak hands usually have some equity on the flop, villain would still likely be making too much money with these hands if you only defended the bare minimum on the flop. He still has equity and by just calling you give him the opportunity to realize that EQ.
-> We should be defending slightly more that 1-a on the flop to make up for that

Having said this I that I think our defense frequency on the flop should be a function of the profitability of our Range.
Often it will simply be impossible to defend certain flops at a sufficient frequency since our range misses the Flop very often / or Villains Range hits very hard. We have to conceit and Villain can be betting a ton on these flops.
However there will also be flops that favour our range and then we should not shy away from defending significantly more than 1-a.
Bottom Line: Defend every hand on the flop that you can profitably continue with

I think you should specify the positions you are talking about

Why do you think balanced play implies not craising/donking flops?
