Generally, we don't want to have a flatting range in SB versus CO/OTB when there is a reg in BB (because he will have good odds to flat, and he can squeeze often, and the fact to be OOP w/o initiative OTF...).
But when there is a weak / loose player in BB, or when a guy has limped, how it changes our 3B range ? Do we want to flat more hands and 3B less in order to play a maximum hands versus BB ?
A 3 linear 3 betting range SB vs OTB looks like 55+, Axs+, AJo+, KQo, T9s+, J9s+, QTs+, KTs+.
Do we want to flat almost all the broadways, Axs, add 22-44, and just 3B like TT+, AQ and some bluffs like K9s-K2s versus OTB or CO ?

Same question for you : why is x/c river better than x/f (see my post above) ?
Sept. 13, 2015 | 2:55 p.m.
Why is it an obvious x/calling if we check ?
I don't expect him to bluff a lot with this line : cbet / check / bet river, and he is probably vbetting river with everything that beat us (AQ his most probably holding when he took this line ; AJ ; some AK pot controling turn for some reasons), and probably checking back his Ax weaker / Jx.

Before, I was never calling this hand OOP PF (always 4 Betting or folding), but in 2015, it seems like a mandatory PF call, especially with his sizing, even if I got a lot of trouble playing OOP 3B pots.

I am probably willing to bet all my draws on the flop, even if in this position I will have very few...
So, my CRAI range OTT will be very strong, but this situation will not happened a lot versus the same villain, and we can always bet/bet/bet next time our monsters if we play again versus him. So we don't care about balance imo.
Sept. 13, 2015 | 12:57 p.m.
Am I the only one to CRAI turn for protection ?
And very bad 3B PF imo, unless he folds like 70%+ to 3B IP.

Why is flop a check OOP ? Is not better to bet like 1/3 pot and make him fold his AIR hands with equity ?
And what was your plan on flop ? x/f or x/c ?
Turn play seems very easy : bet/call and bet/bet if he flats turn :)

Check/calling this turn is asking to be raped OTR OOP versus good aggro villain.
Sept. 9, 2015 | 1:49 a.m.
If MP is a strong player, really boring pre & postflop, that's not bad to play really really tight OOP and give up the marginal / high variance spots.
Sept. 8, 2015 | 10:58 a.m.
Not sure about the TT call OOP when CO 4 bets so big. Looks like a shove or fold PF. What was your plan on 992r ?
You are not running very good, a lot of bad spots. Very surprised by the trappy / passive style of the regz OOP (KJ on Jxx J x ; KK on low board ; KJ on AQT x).
And I hate the bet with JT on AQT 9 on the turn IP. I check back all day long with my open ended + pair.
What do you think about a x/c with AJ on J9x x 8 on the river ? Or a CR OTT ?
Sept. 7, 2015 | 8:46 p.m.
I like a fold OTT, because we have a lot of reverse implieds, and we don't know which cards will be good for us (if any...).
And when he x/c, then donks the turn, you can expect an all-in river very often, so even IP that's not great to flat.

I can even fold turn sometimes.

If I bet river, I bet pretty small, like 50 or 75€.
Feb. 25, 2015 | 7:46 p.m.
You level yourself versus the small turn bet.
Feb. 14, 2015 | 4:24 a.m.
Start by betting.

Just ship, punish CO from his high raise % vs cbet.
Feb. 13, 2015 | 1:12 a.m.
OTB turn raise is probably the worst move ever I've seen so far this year.
Feb. 12, 2015 | 5:22 p.m.
VPIP, PFR and aggr. % :)
I don't think we will have enough hands that very specific stats will be interesting.
Feb. 12, 2015 | 5:19 p.m.
I ship or x/f according to reads.
W/o reads, I probably x/c turn (he can bet his floats, and if he checks back, we can vbet Ri, cause I don't think we got 3 streets of value on AQx with AK), x/f river.
Feb. 11, 2015 | 6:46 p.m.
I probably just x/f this flop 4 ways OOP.
I lead turn on a brick if it is check / check / check / check on the flop.
Feb. 10, 2015 | 2:40 a.m.
I am never folding 100bb deep. If I lose, it's a cooler. And we beat some hands (AQ).
Feb. 10, 2015 | 2:34 a.m.
PF cold call is fine if you play good postflop.
IP you will win a fair amount unimproved, and you can get to SD very often when you hit an A or K. This is cleary not the case here, you are fucked like always OTT.
Feb. 9, 2015 | 2:33 a.m.
There is a difference between a 4B and a cold 4B.
Feb. 9, 2015 | 2:29 a.m.
I make a nitty fold OTT, we split at best, UTG can be slowplaying, and the line from UTG+1 is so strong.
Feb. 8, 2015 | 6:46 p.m.
I fold versus the 4B, AQo is really a shitty hand, even IP.
Feb. 8, 2015 | 6:44 p.m.
Why do you want to x/f almost every turn after a cbet ? He probably doesn't have always Qx+ when he call you on the flop. And he is probably not firing every river when you take this line (cbet, x/c, x)
Feb. 8, 2015 | 6:28 a.m.
I think if he got JT, KT, JJ or Ax, villain will probably check back a decent amount on this turn (pair + SD, we want to see a river).
When he bets turn, he is very polarized (Qx+ or total float). I don't think he will float you so much on this board, so maybe turn is a x/f (even if I never x/f turn when I am playing).
River seems well played, that's an easy fold. Please don't shove XD
Feb. 7, 2015 | 9:18 p.m.
I am so happy to flat PF, because we will almost always see a flop 3 ways, so if we hit, it is the jackpot.
Isolate yourself versus the reg and splashing out the fish is probably the worst choice.
If CO was a reg, the decision is a little closest.
Hello JJ (maybe AK). Good fold.
