not how 500nl online works. im expecting him to be fairly balanced

very nice vid, thank you.

yeah it would be sketchy to take these hand with no blocking/equity bluffs such as 99-77 after checking flop - these fit much more with a triple barrel.. still torn on whether this line was weak or strong tbh. I think there are the traps you mentioned earlier, and perhaps some 10 10, J J and 109ss as bluffs

Demondoink , are you folding weaker ace's OTT such as A2ss - A5ss (that i chose not to 4 bet)?
Im guessing that you would call turn and river with AK & AQ, and call turn and randomize calling river at low frequency with AJ -A10ss?
Also, I would say I would def. check back AK/AQ OTF, but would really struggle to check back the straight lol

yes my range of ace x is as you said... this is high in my range, but i would check my AK, AQ in this spot as PIO says i should be basically never betting this flop giving Villains range advantage. if i bet my strongest hands on the flop, my checking range is always weak and can be exploited. I need to be able to call 2 streets on turn and river, and if he checks again i can start to value bet. I believe weaker ace x's are protected by checking range so I can fold the weaker ones straight away, but AJ may be too strong to fold.
The dynamics with regs online on these boards in which they have such a nut advantage is that they bet frequently and beggining polarizing early in the hand... indeed they should probably be tripling off bluffs such as 10 -77 and 109ss, q10ss at a somewhat high frequency. This hand just really confused me due his flop check and turn overbet, when PIO wants him to c-bet range on this board
Also, no problem with you Cbetting your strong value hands on the flop in an exploitative sense in live poker; with online 500nl you just cant get away with being unbalanced in such spots as you have large hand histories and such regs will pick up that you are only betting value hands on such boards.

PIO will say the SB should bet all his range on this board due to such a heavy range advantage, so it makes it hard for the software to evaluate what I should do in position when checked to as it doesn't account for this. What I imagine however is that my betting frequency OTF, pio will say IP will have close to 0% betting frequency due to strength of villains range as the 3-bettor even with the check

Yes, if we have strong read that he traps at high frequency on this board, then his betting range becomes weak. Its likely in this scenerio that he either was trapping or had hands like 109ss or 98ss or 99-77 and decided he had no showdown value, whilst having such a range advantage that he decided to barrel off turn and river with no equity. Regardless, I exploitively folded turn as I knew he would shove river at high frequency and felt i had better hands to call - call with. Its very hard to decide to go with hand when you dont have a very specific read of villains tendancy's and so I let it go without more reliable info. As for his line, he should be c-betting range small on this board, and i agree his line is very non-standard.

2/ regardless, this was def an exploitative fold, as obviously i should be folding a different part of my range on each street , and AJ fits the category that calls turn folds river

yeah i agree probably a big mistake. My reasoning was that his sizing on the turn combined with Villains board advantage made me feel like he would jam all his value/bluffs on the river. do you really see villain giving up river in this spot given the turn size? As you said I would have to fold AJ on the river, so I felt that it maybe i should let it go, seeing as I felt his shoving frequency would be very high OTR. I also would check 100% OTF given ranges, and felt although i am very high in my range with AJ, I also have AQss / AQo/ AKo and sometimes slowplay J10ss on this board for balance - hence I felt that perhaps I was protected enough here with AJ to let this go straight away...

hi tyler, in the hand at 35:18, if villain chooses to put j8 into ch/raise range do you think it should be a mandatory triple barrel bluff as we can find so few bluffs and it has little showdown value, whilst still containing blockers?
