Hii guys
I normally cbet BU vs BB 100% with 1/3 pot size on such a board texture (K62r) since on my level the population doesn’t check raise a lot it is certainly a valid strategy. However, when BB is more tight or an aggressive player against whom I don’t like to play postflop it makes for me more sense to use a polarized strategy (at least I think so…). What do you think about my cbetting strategy?

BU vs BB on K62r with 45-50% sizing (I check back the combos without any bd fd when the hand is marked with a mixed strategy)

I decided to bet around 60% of my hands, should I bet more of my air hands or even check back more of my weak broadway hands where I decided to check only the suited combination back without any bd fd?
Grateful for any advice, thank you

Hey guys what do you think
Am I too nitty in this spot. Villain was fairly tight so I decided to flat call and go broke on every A, K and flush draw.
Thank you for your opinions

Short question bigger thoughts

Hi guys short question
Does the OOP player realize more equity on a wet (draw heavy board)?
Conditons: SRP (single raise pot) BU (50% range) vs BB (45% defending range) Nothing special

Maybe you asking why this question…
The range vs range equities on Q72r and Q72sss are almost the same (~52% for BU) but I think all of us would agree that we have to bet bigger on the monotone board (Q72sss). But why? Of course we have to deny equity but I want to argue based on facts and not terms like “on draw heavy boards we have to bet bigger because we have less foldequity” (this is certainly true but why?).

My assumption is BB can play easier on wet boards because he realize more equity. He has a though time with A4 vs multiple barrels on Q72r but on Q72sss he can continue with all nut flushes and nut flush draws (over realize his equity) and comfortably fold all other combos (and lose only a bit equity).

Is my thought process right or have I maybe ignored some issues?
Because it is certainly sure that pairs are more vulnerable on wet boards and realize less equity.

When you are a bit confused about my thought process: It is actually only one short question.

Thanks you anyway

Hello guys
I’ve got a problem with my <15bb range. For example: I fold to a 3bet 47% of the time with my 15-20bb range in UTG2 which seems reasonable. The issue accurse when I’m only 12-15bb deep. I start jamming (in the same example) some part of my range right away so my continuing range is a lot weaker. Now when I opening with a min-raise (12-15bb deep) I have to fold against a 3bet 60% of the time (in other positions even more) which seems way too high. My idea is since we have to open the same amount of hands with 12-15bb (because they are profitable as an open for <20bb they shout be even more profitable with <15bb, more equity realization shortstacks) to increase the continuing range with around 20-24 combos.
What do you think?

Short summary:
UTG2 15-20bb: Min-raise opening: 184 combos, Jamming: 0 combos, FT3B: 88 combos (47%)

UTG2 12-15bb: Min-raise opening: 126 combos, Jamming: 58 combos, FT3B: 76 combos (60%)

Thankful for every answer

Hi Guys

I’m not exactly sure why the SB 3bet range is more merged (linear) and the BB 3bet range more polarized (for example against a BU open): I would have several assumptions but I would like to hear your ideas first :D

Hi guys I need your help
This problem occurs from time to time and I don’t know how to adapt properly.

Hero: BU, 100BB
CO (solid player nothing out of line) opens to 2.5bb

How should hero adapt his range? SB and BB are LAGs (loose aggressive).
My normal game plan would be:
- Against fishes (loose passive) sitting behind → increasing flatting range (they would continue with a ton of hands against my 3bets)
- Against REG sitting behind → increase my 3betting range (otherwise they would squeeze me light)

But what should I do against LAGs: They are continue with too many hands (like a fish) but in the same time 4betting aggressive (like a REG).

THX :)

Hi guys I've got some questions about playing preflop against fishes :)

My question is how would you adapt your opening range in the follow situations (100BB effective stack, fish = loose passive player, all other positions play solid poker nothing out of line):
- We are in the CO and the BU is a fish. Should we go looser (try to isolate the fish with a raise) or should we go tighter (because the BU will flat call a ton of hands and give the blinds a good opportunity to see the flop for a better price or 3betting more to extract more value)?
- We are in the BU and in the SB is a fish. Should we increase our open-raise range (to isolate the fish) or our open-limp range (to see with more hands a flop)? And how would you adjust when the Fish is in the BB?
- At the end in addition a general question. If we are sitting on a table full of fishes how would you adjust our opening ranges in the different positions? My idea:
EP: tighter than my standard opening (because they will flat a ton of hands and we often have to play postflop in a multiway pot OOP with a too wide range)
MP, HJ, CO: tighter than my standard opening but adapting not so strong than in EP
BU, SB: looser (because we want to increase our chance to play IP against 1 or 2 fishes to abstract money postflop)

Thank you for any answer
I can’t find the right solutions…
