I'm trying to work out what hands I should be triple barrel bluffing with. I've put a hand below and I would like to hear your thoughts.

6max I open UTG, the button calls and everyone else folds

Flop: Kd 7c 4h

I bet, opponent calls

Turn : Jc

I bet, opponent calls

River: 2d

1. What hands are you bluffing/semi bluffing on flop and turn with??
2. And what hands would you bluff the river with??

The obvious semi bluffs for bluffing flop and turn are 65, q10, a10 and club draws. Would you be bluffing all of these hands on the river??

What's the default strategy of playing off suit broadways in 6 max. Do you open them from every position?? What about calling?? If someone opens is it a good strategy to call with them.

To be clear to me broadways are J10 and above.

The hand:

I open button for 2.5bb with 9c8s

BB calls

Pot 5.5 bb

Flop: 7s 6h Kd

I bet 3bb, BB calls

Pot 11.5bb

Turn: 6d

So board now: 7s 6h Kd 6d

BB leads 3bb, I call

Pot 17.5bb

River Qs

Board now: 7s 6h Kd 6d Qs

BB checks

I bet 14bb, BB calls and had K5hh

Was I right to bluff 98 in this spot??? Was my sizing any good??

I'd imagine when I call turn and bet river my value is going to be Kx and AA. I don't think I have a six here, I would also raise sets on the turn. My hands that miss that won't win at showdown are going to be 98,97,45,T8, diamond flush draws. Do I bluff every single hand that misses?? Or do I give up some. My Ax hands and pairs smaller than Kx that I call turn with, I would just check back the river.

When I play poker I just love playing lots of hands. Especially suited hands like connectors. I open everything like 98s but also the suited gappers like 86s 96s. I open them from every position. I also call these hands

Now I was under the impression that the better you got at poker the more hands you play preflop, but recently I've been watching high stakes games on youtube and I was surprised how tight everyone was. The best players folding everything I'm opening and they rarely call opens either. I just don't get it.

Why would they be folding so much. I understand folding crappy off suit hands, but not the suited. You can make straights and flushes, you can semi-bluff opponents off the best hands etc

I really don't get the logic, when I used to watch Ivey or Dwan playing they were opening/calling every hand and taking advantage of nits like Phil Hellmuth. Those guys was making big money and Hellmuth was going broke folding. What changed

The set up: Effective stacks are 100bb, MP opens and we 3bet from the button. The opponent 4bets.

Sizings: open 3bb, we 3bet 10bb, opponent 4bets 25bb-30bb

Lets say you know the opponent only 4bets AA,KK,AK. Would you still be calling jj-88.

So lets say I'm playing 6max the CO opens and I call in bb.

The Flop comes Ks7d2h

I check in the big blind and the CO also checks.

Turn is 5d

So the board I now Ks7d2h5d

What I should I be thinking about here in terms of bluffing. What hands should I start bluffing the turn with and what hands should
I just check again.

In terms of my range lets break it into two groups.

1. Hands with obvious board connection. So in this hand it will be diamond flush draws, straight draws like 89, 43

2. Hands that have still completely missed like j10, 910, Q9 no diamond etc

Am I meant to just bluff every hand in my range when the player shows weakness, and try to steal the pot? Or is there still some checking I need to do? And what determines that check or bluff, what is the thought you use to decide?? How does GTO approach this spot

Thanks for reading

Here's the hand:

Button opens 2.5x
Hero in SB has QJcc and 3bets 10bb
Button 4bets to 25bb
Hero calls

Flop: 3c8c5h

Hero in SB checks
Button checks

Turn : 5d
So board is now: 3c8c5h5d

Hero in sb checks
Button checks

River: 9d
So board is now: 3c8c5h5d9d

Hero bets 15bb into 50bb
Button folds

Very simple hand, but I really wanted to understand the ranges of the top player better. For him to be able to bet that river as a bluff he needs to be able to have some value hands in that spot. But what hands would he have for value?? Surely when the opponent checks that flop and you get that turn you should be betting the turn with every pair you have?? Trying to understand how he's balanced in that spot.

New to 6max PLO I'm trying to work out a decent open raise range utg. Would you open AQdd52hh??? And what would you say is the worst suited ace you would open.

Thanks

I'm knew to 6max PLO, In the past I played a lot of heads up so I understand the game pretty well, but I'm not sure how tight you need to be opening. I'm interesting in seeing what the worst hand GTO experts open utg. Anyone know anywhere I can get a rough idea.

Lets say I'm playing heads up. How do I work out what hands I need to be calling? I'm talking about calling in the big blind when the small blind raises, and also when getting 3bet. There's a lot of things online that show you what hands to call. Preflop charts. But I'd like to be able to work it out myself. Is that possible? If so what is the method?? Thanks for reading.

Lets say I have a pot odds ratios 3:1 using the typical calculation 1/(3+1) x 100 = 25. You get 25%. What does that 25% represent/mean and how so??
