hey Simon, on the HU-Table,

do you have some FDs which are going into the check/Calling line on Turn or dont you have a X/Call Line here ? (~min 26:30),

dont think that every fish is same, some dont like coldcalling 3bets, but in this situation you definetly know better than me, how fishy this guy was :)

would it be a bad strategy not to 3bet this spot with fish in BB ?? I think if we 3bet we often loose the fish in BB and if reg 4bets we have guessing games like that

@bdon

I had same thought ingame, but i think i have here some 55-66 in this spot (small 3Bet pre), which have a lot less SD-Value and maybe are better to X/bluff. And the second problem about this is, that the most full houses or straights you would bet straight forward on River by yourself. So lets say in 80-90% of all cases.  So i hold a maximum of 0,2 * 7  = 1,4 Valuecombos (Full Houses or 4of a kind) which i X/Raise on River. So i dont need more than one bluff-combo and i think to take one TT- combo, which definetly has much SD-Value in X/Call or Bet River, is the wrong combo.

What do you think about this thought ?

Thank you ;)

i prefer to X/Fold Flop without BDFD. You draw only to a straightdraw or a weak pair. As played i would bet River most of the time. On River its your decision which betsize you choose and it depends on your other hands you play in your line.  I prefer ~ Potbet most of the time. But i didnt take image in consideration.

@ilaris: i think QTo is a normal BB-defense vs 3x from CO ?

I agree with UpUpAndAway. I have a question on betsizing on flop in this spot. Which sizing do we prefer here in theory ? Is it better to bet polarized with a ~ Potbet or bet a smaller sizing with a thiner value-range (0,6x Pot i.e.) ?

55-66 ;)

Hey Era7er, Min 29:30 (Hand 66):

by betting some Tx on River you have to bluff some other parts from your range. Which one do you prefer ? I think the turned FD's you would bet most of the time on the Turn. And therefore i think a hand like 66 should not be a bad bluff on the River because you dont block that much busted draws. For me i think 44-66 would be my first choice to bluff (maybe without club).

15:00

is it really good to float any Kx on Flop and therefore balance a non-raising strategy instead of folding some weak Kx and creating a raising strategy ? For me it seems like you are limiting your postflop game. On GTO raising your strong 5x hands like A5 should definetly makes sense against the good 8x, overpairs and FD/SD. I think on such flops you are faced with 75% cbets and therefore it seems that punishing a too wide cbet range seems not to bad with hands like Tc7c, 9c7c etc.
