Message: [QUOTE="eetenor, post: 5841271, member: 385063"] Thank U 4 Posting We can start to build our plan with these type of hands before we even get to the table so that we know how to play most effectively in real time. I will use the exact hands for this example but we should have a plan with our range of drawing hands in spots like these. Step 1 Hand strength analysis preflop We hold a drawing hand with high card value. QhTh Our raise is called and we are OOP. Can we take AA-1010 out of Villain's range? V's calling range can include hands that dominate us preflop even if they do not have the above pairs. How likely is our holding to dominate V's calling range? As we are more likely to miss the flop than hit it we could assume to win the hand we will need to get our V to fold. What strategies to get folds need we employ versus this player pool? Step 2 Flop We have a draw, we want to have an estimated V range on boards like this. What is the standard V range here in your player pool? Take the time off the table to create this potential range. AJ? KJ-QJ-J10? 88? 107 etc. How often does a board like this hit that range? Seldom? -Often? How often do your V fold to 1 bet on a board they hit often? How often do they fold to 2 bets? How often to 3? When we have the answers to the above questions we can know if we are going to semi bluff- then we have to know if we bluff turn we must be prepared to bluff river at some frequency. What frequency is what matters Knowing we may be bluffing 3 streets we need to use bet sizing that will help us get that river fold. So we would use a progressively larger bet sizing on each street in order to get more folds on the river. That requires us to not bet as big on the flop so that we do not have to bet stacks on the river unless that is the only way to get a fold. If that is the case then we have to embrace the variance but also go max value on our nut hands as well. Again have this plan before you play do not decide on the turn it has to start with the flop bet. Ok well this is a lot to think about and do so no need to go further in the hand at this point. By having a strong plan with draw type hands and knowing V range decisions preflop -flop turn and river prior to board runouts we can then take the most EV+ actions based on the board runout and player tendencies. Hope this helps :):) [/QUOTE]
