Thanks!

Thank you for the good Video!

I have a question about table 3 at around 7:30. (you flop a straight with J8)

You mention that your range is fairly uncapped, I tend to disagree with that, but please correct me if I am wrong.

From alle the possible "nuts" (by that I mean all very good hands like sets+) you don´t have that many.
I assume:
QQ and TT you 3 bet pre.
99 maybe pre 3bet?
KJ pre 3 bet (as seen at the same time 7:30 on table 2)
QTs sometimes 3bet pre?

Which would leave you with:
J8, QT, Q9 and T9, and some 99, for "nuts".
whereas you are missing top 2 sets and the nutstraight.

Or is that what you mean by "fairly uncapped"?

If I am in a similar spot, and go though my range I tend to think that I am capped here.
Or am I being too strict.

I am looking forward to an elaboration on your side.
And again: Thank you for this, and all the other good Videos. They make me think about my game a lot and do no only improve me, but it is also fun, to solve pieces of the puzzle, step by step.

I frequently see people in live games overcalling their monsters in utg+1, hoping for a squeeze.

.
Often players are lost if they 3b AK or the likes, and get three callers. So they hope to get a squeeze, so they can get it in (=easiest way to play and they might not be sure what the best play is if the hand goes any other way)

Apart from that: in the live full ring cash games ive played (mainly 15/30) I had almost never the spot where I'd like to get it all in pre with Ago, given these stack sizes and positions.
If I feel he is very loose pre and I have a good grasp on his game post, I'm inclined to call and go all the way post on a hit. (given your history and what you said about him putting you all in a lot post)
With no ( very Strong!!) read, I'll probably fold.

Ahhh! right, so thats where all the trouble started: we try to make his bluffs 0 EV not our calling range. 
Great thank you! That was the point where I for some reason started to think in the wrong direction.

Thanks so far guys, for all the answers.

cpau: 1-a is what sean lefort (maybe others too, but i saw it from him the first time) refers to in his video, as "minimum defence frequency"  -> Lefort - Advanced Theroy Principles


I did not think about the SD value part of villains bluffing range, but that does not really hit the problem I have. lets assume we are IP, and are facing the Bet & villains range. 

We are not sure what to call fold, so we analyze the spot and want to come up with an Idea what to call/fold. Which Option should we use?


ilares: no in game I wouldnt flip a coin, but use the best hands that fit the situation, to bluffcatch. (lets say the ones that don´t block missed draws in villains range)

It´s more a theoretical question, i.e. when you are analyzing a spot like this after the session and want to get a better feeling in game.

I am not sure who can access this and read it, but I´ll post it here: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/bss/2314/1/
This article would suggest to use our whole range and take 50combos out of it. But my questions somehow remain.
I might have a flaw in my logic, can please someone point me in the right direction?

Sept. 5, 2014 | 4:08 a.m.

yes you are right. 
What i meant to say is that we don´t know if he is bluffing too much or not, and we can not use an exploitive approach, as in: "Villain vbets 10 combos and bluffs just one, therefore my calling range looks like:..."

Hello guys,

I am having trouble with a game theoretical issue.



For an easier discussion I will number my questions.



Assumptions:

Villain bets the river potsize and is all in.  We do not know anything about his range
composition.

We get to the river with a total of 100 combos.

Lets assume this:

20 combos nuts (assumption: these nuts beat all of Villains vbets)

70 combos bluffcatchers (assumption: these beat all of Villains Bluffs)

10 combos total air (assumption: these beat nothing and loose to all bluffs of
Villain)

1.1.) Since Villain bets Potsize, our
minimum defence frequency is 50%, right?

 







I am having
two approaches to this, and I am a bit confused, please help me out here.



OPTION 1:

We call our 20 combos nuts, and 30 combos of our bluffcatchers.

We fold 40 combos bluffcatchers and our 10 combos air.

-> We call 50% of the time and achieve therefore the desired minimum defence
frequency of 50%.



OPTION 2:

We call 20 combos nuts and 35 combos of our bluffcatchers.

We fold 35 combos bluffcatchers and 10 combos air.

-> We call 55% of the time and do not achieve the minimum defence frequency
with our whole range, BUT:



2.)
Isn´t the idea behind the min. defence frequency with bluffcatchers, to
make them 0EV? (a.k.a: indifferent to calling/folding?)



My point here is: if we choose option 1, we treat our nuts as bluffcatchers,
although they beat all of villains betting hands.

3.)
Therefore we are making our whole range indifferent to calling/folding?

4.)
Wouldn´t that mean, that we intentionally make our bluffcatchers –EV?
(Since our nuts are +EV anyways)

5.)
Shouldn´t we therefore use option two and call 50% of our bluffcatchers,
making our 70 combos of bluffcatchers indifferent to calling/folding?



I hope you guys can follow me, and understand why I am a bit confused here.



Thanks for any advice on this.
