Message: [QUOTE="loafaBREAD, post: 6173069, member: 440287"] Hey Casey, I'm liking the analysis. You've clearly put some thought into this. Pre could be slightly larger since it is a limp followed by an iso. I generally like smaller 3-bet sizes with a merged-but wider-range in high rake environments, but here 12bb is probably the minimum. Keep in mind that most people who isolate will over defend vs 3-bets... they alreasdy decided their hand is good enough to iso, so they likely dolf to your 3-bet pretty infrequently. Nevertheless, your hand is still good enough to raise. I like to flop bet and the sizing. Having some backdoors is nice. The :kc4: is an interesting card and obviously this is a card you can bet on... you probably can bet very often on this card since V rarely has a K here. I'm even on board with slightly overbluffing this card in most player pools. But you should have some checks. We need to think what he called with on the flop that stuck around [I]that is better and we can still get to fold.[/I] V has some AK, AQ that floated the flop. AK is ofc 4-bet sometimes pre, though some fish call religiously with this hand. V could have JJ-TT. Tx suited, 9x suited, 88, and some smaller connected draws or gutshots. All that to say... V has a tight range, so you can be selective with bluffs. I actually can't give you advice here.... AThh is likely one of the better bluffing combos here, though maybe not for a triple (since it blocks hands that may call the turn but fold the river like 9T or TT). You also have a ton of value in this spot to balance these types of bluffs as KQ and AK are mostly cbet OTF, not to mention 99 and AA at some frequency. I would go 2/3 on the turn, but 1/2 pot still sets up for a river shove so I can't complain too much. V's raise makes it an easy fold with most holdings. At 2nl I'm guessing this is a protection raise as V generally can' be too strong here. At the same time he likely isn't folding to a shove. Interesting spot, thanks for posting! [/QUOTE]
