QuantumTM

I'm not raising 6x on the flop ever, too many turns devalue our hand and we need some kind of range that can at l;east call 2 streets! Raise on the turn possibly, but i think a large percentage of the time i flat to leave overpairs in the hand.

So on the river i can have tonnes of nutted hands, quads/boats/trips, some middle strength hands (2pair) and air that's FDs. In the interest of balance i should have some kind of bluff range here as i can't always have the nuts when i bet, so i figured betting here should be fairly balanced as i can have nutted hands as well.

Interesting that a lot of people fold pre. What are you defending a 3bet with in this spot? FYI i'm never calling here with A8o

At this level people are more likely to see a small 4bet as strength and therefore fold AQ also some mid pairs 88-TT sometimes JJ as well. But i think they'll call a shove as it looks more like you have AQ 88-TT that just wants to get it in and avoid seeing a shove.

Remember we want to get AQ to go all-in pre as that's primarily where we get our profit from shipping AK, so manipulating our opponents perception of our range is important.

check back flop there's no reason to bet here when you can take a free card, if villain checks a blank turn then you can push them off there hand then.

As played when villain jams you have to call.

I'd also agree that removing the result from the hand is what you should do, as it will lend to better discussion.

3bet pre. As played you should ship vs the squeeze, i think this is better than 4bet/call

fold river, he can have a lot of value hands here and we can have better hands to call the river.

I think defending this is okish, I've your opening 62%BTN then i think you have too, though i would suggest that 62%BTN is maybe too wide.

come again for big fudge......

Seriously I'm never folding, we have the 5th nuts and villian can defiantly get in worst here.

Also i really dislike your flop c/r size, you need to keep an eye on pot to stack ratio, we make our life so much easier if we can just jam the river here for around pot.

too me its an easy bet/fold. Assuming he never c/r a set or 2p or combo draw on the flop (not something that is likely) he still has Kx ~55% of the time. If he ever c/r a big hand on the flop then it becomes a super easy bet!

personally prefer c/c with hands like this, but as others have mentioned cbetting is fine.

high cbet % i've been working on, I'd recommend checking any 2 pair type hand unless the board is super wet. Also OOP, check more TP hands if the board is dry, its a nice way to uncap your range and reduce your cbet at the same time.

Yer its close. I think the issue is that villian is either never calling a bet (as he has no showdown) or he has the absolute top of his range (AK). If he realizes that then he can't fold the river.

A polarized 3betting range is almost always going to be better than a merged range preflop imo. We're oop which makes it so much harder to know where we are in the hand and frequently will end up being out kicked imo.

snap fold, also I'm not sure i agree with your squeezing range things like AQ, KJs, QJs play just fine multi way and i think your flatting range is way too weak if your always 3bet/squeezing these hands. If you still want to squeeze the same amount just add suited 1 gappers, 68s, 46s etc.

VPIP/PFR are standard tag ranges which is fine. Your flop CB and agg% is low, cbet should be up around 70-75 and agg% should be 50-55. I'd guess that your missing opportunities to value bet and your probably playing your draws passively. Look for opportunities to semibluff IP as well betting very dry boards, AT2, K95 etc.

I think we need some sort of flatting range here, and since i'd expect us to 4bet AK almost always, i think we need AQ in our calling range.

I'd agree that Villian has a lot of weak one pair hands here, I'm just not sure he is folding them. Your basically trying to rep that you have a flopped set that you decided to slow play on the turn, or maybe you could have QJ or AQ that your looking to check jam the turn and maximize their fold equity! Also you can rep KQ though I'm not sure people cold 4bet this that often. Maybe AK is the only legit hand we can have which would make some level of sense.

tl;dr: you rep QJ, AQ, AK almost exclusively in this spot. Villian can have nutted hands here imo, so I'm not sure it's worth to bluff into a nutted range.

Interesting spot though.

i don't think Villian folds to 3bets enough to make this profitable, also A5s plays well multiway so i wouldn't mind flatting here.

As played we do rep draws, but not that many, as i'd expect a lot of pair plus draw not to cbet the flop. So really we rep 67, 68s, 64s which is a pretty small range. The line does make some sence past that point though, so i guess enough KJ, KQ, TT-QQ will fold to make this profitable.

I do wonder what your plan is for a blank river, as our range seems pretty capped when we check/call the turn.

Nice to see out the box thinking though :)

without seeing any other stats, i'd guess your calling too light on most streets. Also possibly betting too much, I'd look at your cbet percentage it should be somewhere between 70-75

Do you dislike the river check just because of the stakes (assuming villains call too light) and would you dislike the line vs more thinking players?

Whats you're C/R range on this board? are you only doing it when there is a flush draw? Also what would you do to on a blank turn facing more pressure?

Never 3betting a small/medium pocket, we just have so little chance to improved when called and half the deck is an over card meaning we have to cbet middle pair OOP, this just seems very unprofitable to me.

c/f river is fine, as he has tonnes of nutted cards in his range!

nh, i hate folding this, but its the right play, he just has to have far to many bluffs in his range to make calling correct!

Folding turn, nice hand up to that point.

my primary issue is i don't see him raising worst. he'd have to float Ax on the flop (defiantly possible), call turn, and then either think he has the best hand with Ax and raise? maybe the only hand that makes sense is AQ, but he'd have to be on some sick level where I'm b/c 77-JJ to make this profitable, and after i triple barrel i don't know how he'd ever put me on those hands.
