$11 PKO Line check

Posted 6 years ago

Villain was standard TAG.

First mistake here was opening the 67s IUTG in the first place but discount that.

As played I cb because we have some reasonable back doors and rep a strong range, villain shouldn't have too many Jx combos, JTS JQs KJs AJs maybe, he has way more pair combos, 1/3 sizing seems appropriate.

Turn we barel our turned equity increasing to just less than 1/2 pot to setup stacks for a river jam if we choose to do that.

The river we pair our 6 but almost never win at showdown now its a case of what sizing do we use with our range on this board?

Or do we take an exploitative sizing to try get villain to fold his pairs which are now likely 6s through Ts?

In game I almost jammed but opted for 1/3 pot because that made sense for our range, we can VB TT-AA with this sizing along with made flushes when we get there and comfortably fold to a jam when he does show up with Jx or boats while also getting 'some' folds from his PP hopefully often enough to make this a profitable bluff.

WUG think?

Yeh you should probably fold this pre and just not bomb on these kinda run outs. I think a lot of your bluffs are incredibly face up and oop especially you are just going to get called down so often.

This river bet is weird as well as you are not turning your hand into a bluff looking at the sizing and a blocker bet is unnecessary. Little confused on this one!

I don't think he's folding that river after calling the turn bet. I'd check give up on the river, maybe call if there's any bluffs you can put him on or you think he'd bet the 5

The river bet was for sure a bluff not thin value, I was trying to think what size I would use with 9s - Aces and thought at the time 1/3 makes sense but if we do make a flush we would want to jam, we have pot sized bet behind.

So I think it would make most sense to jam river with whole range here, we have more Jx all boats and all strong pairs, looking to get heroes by all PPs and occasionally losing to villains Jx combos.
