The game is really good. But the variance is outside of the game itself. hope you know what I mean.

turn K just makes a higher ev board for Cindy given the line and river another K pretty much remains the same. I don't think it matters that much whether this is a bluff or a value. Since it is not really a clear cut here, AQ should do a little bit of both checking and betting. On top of that, AQ blocks a9 and a7, which is sort of a bonus.

I just ran the solver and what I got is that the amount of bet sizes on the river matters a lot. If you have one merged 35% range, 55 appears as a slam dunk call. If you have 35% and 75% ranges, then 55 goes into the 75% range and you should call about 50% when you hold the 5s facing a raise and fold 5h5d 100% of the time. There are a lot of issues about my sim coz I try to find as many reasonable bluffs as possible for both of you and your villain from a balanced approach, which probably does not happen often. Most people don't have enough reasonable bluffs in both spots, which could be taken into consideration.

I don't think your range is fairly capped at all(if you bet all the FDs on the flop when checked to, that's certainly a leak), but you def have way less flushes than straddle has coz he basically has all the suited spades hands in his range given the price. But I don't really think that check calling the flush draw on the turn OOP is that good of a play in a multiway pot. I believe you actually want him to do that if he does not have a balanced leading river range. Thus, This fact reduces the flush combos that he has and basically narrows it down to nut flushes and some combo draws(He might check raise his combo draws sometimes on the turn). He is betting 1240 to win 1050, so you need to defend about 40% of your river betting small range. This is a really close one because I don't think that you have that many natural bluffs under this spot other than KQ with the Q of spades. I doubt you bet any weak 2 pair on the river and you don't have any of the strong two pairs given the line so set of 5s is kinda towards the bottom. I am fine with a fold under this spot, given his polar range.

The ability of finding good games is also a way to success in poker. But obviously Sauce takes a completely different route. And also, 10bb/100 and 20bb/100 are both considered "crushing". Nothing wrong with being complacent.
