Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5686327, member: 289533"] Good observation, the King improves part of its value range, which woud be the Kx group (KQ, KJ, KT, and a few times AK). As you said, when Villain raises that Gutshot OTF, he/she is very unbalanced, having many more bluffs than it should have it. This is why I advocate for re-raising OTF, 3-bettint flop, whatever, I think that it is better for us to put most money when we do have the nuts, sounds pretty obvious, but you got scared of Villain to fold part of its gutshots and trash, which is very reasonable, but not optimal. No poker professional or regular will disagree that we should put all the chips in the middle when we do own the stone cold nuts, and we had it. If happens that Villain folds its gutshot, no problem, there is already a fair chunk of dead chips in the pot. Plus if we consider some "meta-game" approach, and we deep analyse the sizing chosen by Villain on the river, we get a pretty nice picture that Villain isn't bluffing or turning second best hands (hands lower than Set of Jacks), into non-sense bluffs. We don't see many cash players doing it. We have no friends at the tables, figuratively speaking, we want to cut the heads of our opponents off without further ado, so, when we face ourselves in a situation where our opponents offers a very good price, in a very complicated board configuration, as it was the mentioned river, we should use our instincts and begin to wonder the reasons a Top Pair Top Kicker would do such a thing, as long as Hero 3-bets preflop, call raise OTF, which hands SB expects you to have, that could possibily pay that friendly sizing?
