thanks. I think I understand.

by the way the pink part in my scope is rfi/fold.
what do you think of this range? and what do you think rfi/call range? (red).
That range is too oriented towards pocket pairs, but I can't think of anything better.

Thanks for your advice. I have a few questions about the topic.

GTO advises to open about 22% on MP at NL50. I play NL10 and open 15.5%.
GTO defends here as a call vs 3bet only 16%. Is it a lot? For comparison, I show below my range in these positions :)

Gree = 4bet/call
Blue = 4bet/fold
Red = call vs 3bet

It is a GTO BASE NL50. I've been playing poker for several years, so I don't have any samples for players and I don't even know what kind of winnings I can have there. I started with NL10 :)

One more question. GTO claims that? The larger sizing I use, the fewer hands I have to open. Would it be ok to open 3bb everywhere to make the game easier? or 2.5bb?

Most hands lose ev if I use a higher sizing. In addition to hands like AA, KK, etc.

Why do people actually complicate the preflop game by using different sizing in each position?

I would look at Wizards GTO RFI ranges for 50NL (highest rake) and start there as far as opens go.

If I follow this GTO , my rfi on utg is only about 7.5% (NL50, open sizing 3bb). It is OK? The gto itself advises me to play hands 2x more for the sake of balance, but I'm human and I wouldn't play that if I also play hands with -ev. Even JTs has 0ev. He probably advises like this because of the rake. When I turn on the NL500, JTs is suddenly +0.05EV.

I play NL10. Should I seriously start playing this tight here?

Thanks

I play NL10. I don't have any pool info. I haven't played poker for a year. Back then I was playing NL25 and hands like 67s were fine losing hands. I don't know maybe because of the rake.
GTO-Wizard plays 17% on UTG. How do I figure out how many hands to open less due to rake?
I decided to play 9% on UTG. I feel comfortable with this play because I used to play this nitty profitably.
Is it ok that I play this nitty for example 200k and when I see that I am playing it profitably I will expand the range?

This is true for preflop as well: So the main reason why the solver wants to open 0EV hands is to not be exploited in any part of the gametree.
But in the real world a lot of 0EV spots could easily be +EV or -EV and lead to clear calls/raises or folds. And hands like 67s are a good example for this.

How should the ordinary mortal approach this problem so as not to be exploited in these plots? Do you also open hands that don't have +ev to have all the boards covered?

Because if I call a player from utg on btn and the board comes 583s and the opponent checks, I know that this opponent is very weak on this board. And if I know that, so do a lot of other opponents.
How to defend against this?

One option here is to check some strong hands to protect my checkrange but when I check them I lose value.

What is the right answer?
Thanks :)

HI. Thanks for the tip. GTO-Wizard looks cool but I don't understand it too much yet. Why does it advise opening the game with cards that have 0eq?

I assume it's because of the balance but I could be wrong. If it's because of balance how is one supposed to approach it? Because remembering if I'm open exactly 20% with 67s is impossible.

Do you have an easy way/strategy for this? Or do you just open all combinations with 67s? Thanks

but on flops like:
Ks Th 7d 5s
do you only use overbet or at the same time 33% or 75% of the pot with other weaker combinations?

:(

now I have one more question. Flop: AK2 or KJ2 two tone. Is there a turn on which you use a normal bet circa 75% of the pot and overbet on the same turn? Thanks

thanks for the response guys. I probably have two last questions:

1. Flop: AK2 (two tone) Turn: Qo or 8s(flush)
   Why you dont like overbet on the turns which bring flush or straight? Pio overbets all the time. What is that argument?

2. Flop KJ2 (mono) Turn: 7 (fourth monocard)
   What bluffs you choose in the situation?

Thank you so much

Dnegs:

You might want to size up slightly on flop, range betting this small
probably loses a fairly decent amount of EV

Pio thinks that if I bet a range with a higher sizing then it has a smaller EV.

Dnegs and Mudkip:

Also on a related note playing 1 hour of 66% and 1 hour of overbet
isn't a coherent strategy, when things get mixed it's not with the
intent of just confusing everyone involved there are strategic reasons
for doing so.

My idea was that in a situation where we normally only overbet, I will bet 66% half the time and overbet half of the time (mixed strategy . I didn't mean to overbet any card on any turn. Does that make sense now?

BTW. You talk about situations when you bet on the same turn with two sizings.

Is it true or i didn't understand it?
If this is true could you tell me the situation when you use two sizings?

Thank you so much

Mudkip:
1.Then the turn I mentioned above is also suitable for overbet or check. Or?

2.When we play the flop you mentioned: AK2 (two tone) but turn brings flush or Q(many straights) we want bet only 66% or check. Is it correct?
Thanks

Mudkip: can you tell me the situation when you will only overbet? Thanks

Mudkip: But when I use your strategy then my opponent knows that my range is capped in situation when I bet 66% of pot. Or?

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

BTW: My strategy is to mix.
For example:
1hour I play strategy when I bet turn only with sizing 66% of pot and then
1hour I play strategy when I bet turn only with sizing 150% of pot.

lllCitanul: You mix the strategy in a different way as well. What do you and others think about my way of mixing strategy?

Thanks

Well no. You have an overbet size. But you likely still want a normal
size for other hands. General simplification usually is one size on
flop, multiple on future streets.

What normal size do you mean? something like 66% of pot?

BTW: When you overbet on turn you overbet pretty polar or merged?
Do you overbet on the turn KJ3s 7o hands like KT? because I do but I have only one sizing one turn when I overbet.
Thanks

:(

The flop is two tone and turn doesn't bring flush.

So on the turn it is good to use one sizing. Probably everyone agrees. Well, on the turn we overbet and river brings:
1. Blank
2. Flush or Straight

How many sizings you use on river?
On blank you probably overbet again. But do you also use other sizing on river?

Thanks guys!

Hi, I'm back with this hand. I can't sleep because of that :)
Villain bets on river QQ +, AQ. I won't count AQ because it's a draw. So QQ + = 10 combinations. We block some AA and QQ because we hold AQ. We need the opponent to bet 5 combinations on the river. I can't imagine 5 combinations that would make an opponent blufol on the river. By the way, it's an underblufer. So why do you think it's an easy call?

Thanks!

Would anything in your opinion change if Aheart was not there?
Thanks!

In some cases I go xf even 100%. I will bet two pairs + and some fd's as bluff. I x/f some fd with ace and some bdfd with Adiamond which I want to bluff if on river comes flush.
What should I bet on Turn and x/c on river?

Thanks!
