Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6904213, member: 397965"] [B]Hand 1 KTs[/B] Preflop Standard defend Flop (pot $0,55) Great flop for your range and your hand. This is great spot to take aggressive action by either leading or check-raising. Check-calling is the second worst option, and the worst would be folding. Turn (pot $1,15) Completely on board with checkraising, but your sizing is way to small. After you call his $0,65, pot is $2,45, and you only make it $0,85 more for him to call. You are giving him better than 4:1, and this is leaving a ton of value on the table. You are happy to play for stacks here, so you should set it up for a river jam. If you click the "pot" button, you will make it $3,1, and if he call, pot will be $7,35 leaving a bit under a pot sized bet left for the river assuming 100BB effective stacks. And then you jam any card, that dont put a 4-flush or pair the board. River (pot $4,15) In situations, where we dont want to face a raise, the best option is to check. And here we really dont want to face a raise. We dont want to bet-fold, because then we are folding the second nuts. And we also dont want to bet-call, unless there is some kind of dynamic, where a small bet can induce a lot of bluffs. So the best line here by far is to check-call. This allow him to bluff or even valuebet worse. The hands, we bet for value here, should only be the nut flush, and then we can mix in some bluffs, if we want to be balanced. [B]Hand 2 AA[/B] Preflop Obviously a standard open, and the only thing, I will say, is, that if you use 2,8BB with AA, then you should do it with your entire range. Flop (pot $0,61) If you had opened from UTG, then this would be a bad flop for your range. But opening from BTN you can also have low cards, so its certainly fine to bet this for value. Turn (pot $1,42) I do like your decision to pot control here. A tight player is probably not paying 3 streets with many worse hands, especially because the flopped top pair and second pair now got degraded, and he is unlikely to have a 9 in his hand. As you say, 87 also got there, and 43 flopped it. River (pot $1,42) When he check again, I would also try to get a second street of value from hands like A6 or 77-88 or whatever. You could size down, since his hand looks pretty weak after checking again. But as Lex Veldhaus sometimes say during his streams, its not up to us to find hands for the opponents to call with. If they always fold, they always lose, and then we just bluff them more. When he check-jam, its an easy fold, especially against a nit. [/QUOTE]
