Just call as you d do with QQ+

Don’t like the c/r against this sizing which often indicates a polarized range. I think you have a good bluff catcher here (having the Tc blocks a lot of BDFD combos) to make an exploitative call according to villain’s betting tendencies OTR. Here, I think EV(calling Tc8)>EV(c/r “bluff” Tc8). I think I’d c/r a hand like QKc against a sizing less polarized since EV(c/r bluff QKc)>EV(call QKc). Like you I tend to “bluff” raise (rather than call ) people which “bluff” their showdown value but I don’t think it’s a good thing against polarized sizing.

I d say it depends on your skills at these stakes. It s often a big flip here. If you need to take it to increase your stack then go. If not (you have skills) there ll be a lot of easy value spots at these stakes.

i think i prefer bluff catch here with a hand like KcQ and maybe he bluffs you with a nuts blockers (Kcx hand) :p

For me yes.

For a specific answer, I think you need to do the math with some hypothesis : EV(choice 1), EV(choice 2) and choose the play with the best EV. Sorry if it doesn t help but I don t think there is a general answer.

People probably don t bluff enough in this spot so readless I think I d overfold here to exploit this tendency. I think I d have call a C/r pot since with our small sizing we induce some bluff raises. If we know he is a type of player which can overbet bluff versus our capped range, we ll have to call here (he rep very few combos like KQc or KTc and I think you are in a situation where you have to make an exploitative call or fold according to his tendencies).

Ok ok :) I think the EV of your play depends on a lot of things:
- What’s his LP opening range?
- If he 4bet too much, you can decrease your 3bet bluff frequency and increase your 3bet value frequency (with more thin value hands)
- What is his 4betting range (polar, linear) ? His range will affect your response : if he is polar, you can add some traps at your calling range.
- what’s your perceived 3betting range ? You can tighten it so he will adjust and 4bet less.
- How does he react to a 5 bet?
- You can change the sizing of your 3bet according to his tendencies. You can 3bet with blockers (Ax, Kx) if he 4bet of fold.
- And so on. It depends lol

It depends lol

I think your TPGK becomes a bluff catcher here in a spot where there are not a lot of bluffs. And I don t think it s a good bluff catcher because the only thing you block is a DP with an A. There are a some straights, set and DP in SB range. So I d fold.

+1 with Saulo. But I prefer check QQh.

This is the bottom of your calling range so I think sometimes you can call or 3 bet bluff (it depends on UTG style and other people after us). Generally, I think EV(3bet)>EV(call). As played, call flop. OTT I d call or fold, depending on villains tendencies OTR (did he call a bet if we hit our flush ? Etc).

Bluffing when you rep very little combos is not a great play I think. So call or fold OTT.

This flop is drawy and you are 5th (icm is not So important in this spot) so it depends on villains tendencies : if he is aggro with his draws (SD and FD) I d take the same line. If not and if he is a fish, this c/r clic back usually means DP+ (6 combos of KJ and 3 combos of 66 and maybe 3 combos of JJ).

Yep. I think it s the bottom of your isoraise range so I also think 4bet bluff - you ve got blockers on KK/AK/JJ - or fold (depending on BTN tendencies : does he squeeze often and how does he react to a 4bet ?) are better options

I think 97c is one of the worst combo to bluff catch here.

I’d fold pre. You should choose better hands (high cards, suited and/or connected) to isoraise EP limpers at these stakes (because you don’t have enough FE pre at this BI so you need to have some Equity against their calling range). A better card selection will improve the EV of your isoraise.

Yep. Check back. You ve got some equity (A high), BDSD, BDFD and you block some SD or outs for OESD (98, J9S, etc).

I think open fold > open raise/fold> open push. As deep, at the bubble, I prefer open raise Ax, Kx (hands with blockers on their shoving range). As played, I think check OTF is good because of icm pressure

OTF I think bet and Check are close. Yep, fold turn.

i think you can fold 88 OTF. You have better hands to make a profitable call here. In this spot, even his bluffing range (AJ, ATs, JTs, etc) has a good equity against our hand.

For me it s villain-dependent. Some villain will take this line with a full in order to rep a draw or a spazz or because then don t Know What they are doing. Readless I snap call because of the few value combos.

Xr all in OTR. You have 2D nuts and he may call with some combos (set and 2p).

OTR, I think the decision between Check or bet depends on vilain s betting frequency. If I think he ll often Check OTR with his SDV and he has a low bluffing frequency then I donk ; but if I think he ll often (thin) value or bluff, then I c/r or c/call (depending on his calling tendencies).

Against this type of player, i think : Bet/fold > bet/call>c/c>c/f

Our hand isn t strong enought to call OTF I think (GS+OVC not clean+BDFD). So I d bluff raise OTF since he doesn t rep anything strong (like a raise "for info" with TPNK or 77-TT). I think we have a good FE and good equity against his calling range (when he calls).

I think it depends on vilain's tendencies : did he make bad calls, did he bluff to much ? Against a passive player, i d probably bet/fold OTR (>c/f).

I d call pre. Against sticky player, I prefer 3bet for (thin) value something more playable like KT+/QTs+/etc because he won t fold often. i like the cbet, you can value against SD, 8x, etc. OTT, i d c/c.

I think his range is strong after a donk bet/raise ai otf : DP+ (passive fish doesn t play their draws aggressively ). As played, i d fold.

@chigh, right did not pay attention ^^

Call pre. Fold flop.
