Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5635962, member: 289533"] I don't play full-ring anymore, but I would say that it could be okay if we do open raise 22-77 from MP 50% of times and fold 22-77 50% of times, because there are many players yet to speak and we are not going to realize our equity postflop so often, when we do get 3-bet/Squeeze sometimes. When SB calls you, it has a more capped range, hands that are not so good for 3-betting vs EP/MP but also not so bad to be folding. So, we don't expect many JJ+ and AJs+ for example, on SB's range, but a bunch of 22-TT or 22-99, and broadways plus suited connectors. The postflop The Flop When SB leads/donks flop, it is trying to represent mostly hands like 86, 98, 96 (?) and maybe some back doors flushes, such as JTs, QJs, T7s (uncommon), and of course, the group of sets, with 99, 88 and 66. When SB hits such strong hands oop it wants to extract as soon as possible from some part of EP/MP's preflop ranges, which will contain a ton of TT+. MP/Hero won't present many 66 on its range, but more hands like suited broadways, and 77+, so this flop is a little bit best for the SB than the MP. When SB donks flop we cannot raise yet, although we have sweet equity with OESD and our hand it is very hidden from SB's perception. Plus, if we do raise here, we are not ever protecting AT, AJ, AQ and AK, and TT, JJ, QQ, KK and AA, so our call here will protect the vast majority of our range OTF. Realize that SB used polarization OTF, and it is hard to find bluffs on Villain's ranges, when they bet so badly and strong: they only bet so strong for value, keep that in mind. It becomes impossible to bluff using such huge sizings, unless the opponent is tilted or a drunk whale, this is not happening at cash tables, not at 2 NLHE not at any stake. On the turn, it opens a flush draw of spades and SB/Vilain insists betting 100% again, and now we have a lot of hands that should not be calling again SB's bet OTT, such as AsKs, AsQs, etc, JsTs, QsJs, etc, in a higher frequency sets with 99 and 88 and in a lower frequency sets with 66 and 55, plus, of course 77, because we don't open many A7s or even K7s from MP. It is very sweet when SB comes betting the pot again, because we have the nuts here almost 99% of times, and it is very hidden from Villain's perception/perceived range. Villain expects us to have more hands like QQ, KK and AA that should not be raising OTT, but calling to evaluate river, so if we do raise here with our sets and BDFs+SDs, nothing more fair than raising with the nuts itself (since we are blocking this straight combination on SB's ranks), turning for the SB impossible to fold its Two Pair and Sets and by the same time, punishing SB for overplaying its range (SB only donks flop 100% pot and c-bets turn 100% pot with two pair and sets, nothing more). ;) You did the most profitable move OTT, putting all of the chips having monster equity, thus an automatic profitable move. :D What happen on the river it is not our problem and it doesn't matter. We should never be concerned about results, we only care for doing the most profitable move for the situation. Good luck always! :) Regards; Carlos 'Aballinamion' Barbosa [/QUOTE]
