Message: [QUOTE="gustav197poker, post: 5667103, member: 393841"] Your line looks good, I suppose that your displeasure has to do with the optimal obtaining of value for this hand. Sometimes playing balanced implies not obtaining the optimal value, we simply avoid being exploited. I think we can see it again. Hero opens a standard size (from strong position) but of great proportion. The opening range generally represents a fairly narrow set, it could be something similar to: TT; J-J +; KQs; Axs; AJs; AQs/o; AKs/o. The villain calls cold, we can see that he has very little aggressiveness, although his hand sample is quite scarce. On the flop the cbet is a very large size in my opinion, but I understand the reason. We have a lower set and we expect to collect from the draws and lower values. At this point we must again emphasize the passivity that this villain has. Your call could come from a semi open range like: 22-55: 24c; 7-8s: 4c; 9-8o: 12c; Q8s: 2c; Q9s: 2c + flush draws combos: 7c-8c; Kc-9c; Kc-8c; Ac-2c; Ac-3c. On the turn the board is paired and now the texture has a great impact on our range, so a small size is recommended here. If we want to find the balance we can also check this turn, since we do not need protection and since we are IP, we can give the villain the opportunity to load bluffs in his range for the river. Another reason for the turn x / x line is to make up for the large bet size we put on the flop. As played we put a second barrel of 41.67% and villain makes a min raise. Looking at SB's preliminary characteristics, we could consider the possibility that V has been slow playing a middle pocket like 7-7 / 8-8 and now wants to protect him. In addition, with them he can block combos in the H rank as KJs and can also limit hands like A5s-A9s when the hero uses these combinations from preflop. 3-bet on the turn would allow villain to fold the bottom of his range that is dominated. So the call is more appropriate. On the river we have the lowest full house scale. We also don't block any flush nuts. I think if we bet 50% on the river it is because we plan to call anyway. Therefore, from a balance point of view, the times that only the villain does not call, we are losing value when we choose a smaller size. For this reason I would choose a larger size, something close to 80-85% of the pot. Only 2 combos kill the action (KJcc and J8cc) but both are unlikely in the active ranges. Greetings. [/QUOTE]
