Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6685854, member: 289533"] This question wasn’t directed to me so forgive me for I’m intruding. To have a bluff range we first must have a picture of our villain’ profile: is it loose passive/aggressive? Tight passive/aggressive? A maniac? Etc. When we are playing Fast Tables (Zoom) this is hard to know. Because of this problem of having no information about villain we must have a plan before entering any pot. And many times, even when we have plenty of equity to put up a bluff villain won’t fold, and we don’t want to toss blinds into the hearth. Pot control is one of the principles of a good game, otherwise we are bluffing and praying for some miracle to happen. Another point is try to call less and less preflop, for the rake charges a lot. Our strategy for micro stakes, most of times is to 3-bet or fold. And when we do call, we do it with suited connectors and broadways that will have a good playability postflop, and also all of pocket pairs and suited aces. It’s complicated to state a bluff-value range in just a few lines, for these are embedded in GTO theory. I will give just one simple example of preflop play, and recommend to you read all the cash thread, for there are many hands GTO based analyzed. Example of balancing range preflop: Let’s suppose we play only two hands preflop, the best and the worse. We are playing AA and 72s only. When we raise first villain, using a standard sizing of 3x for example, both for AA and 72s, villain will never know if we are opening AA or 72s. We are also only 3-betting and 4-betting with the same hands. This example isn’t optimal because we own 6 combos of AA preflop and only 4 combos of 72s, but for the sake of didactic purposes, let’s assume they are equal. We must have the same amount of value and bluffs for each spot we find ourselves in. So this hand where you where bluffing your double gutshot having 98o, you will have much more bluffs than values for this situation: I would recommend at least you had one combo of clubs for doing it. And something more than 6 outs. [/QUOTE]
