Message: [QUOTE="cjturtle7, post: 7005149, member: 1040454"] I was confused about these two spots. 1. I understand that UTG will need to semi-bluff with A4s here in order to balance his range, but why is A4 of spades always a re-raise whilst A4 of clubs is a 57/43 mix? Especially after the turn getting rid of both potential spade and club backdoor flushes, wouldn't both combos share a similar strategy? What makes the A4 of spades a better hand to semi-bluff with than the clubs? 2. I understand that the AQo combos with a diamond will re-raise here due to blockers, but why is there such a big difference in strategy between the non-diamond combos (AhQc, AhQs, AcQh vs. AsQh, AsQc)? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
