Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5641421, member: 289533"] Considering dynamic positions, in this situations the player in the BTN can have a lot of whiffed and busted hands, Top Pair with No Kicker, Second Pair Top Kicker, you name it! :D Many players are going to automatically c-bet on the flop when they raise from the BTN and BB calls, no matter what type of board and equity. In this scenario we can be 3-betting for value, our pocket pairs, specially the mid ones such as 77, 88 and 99, so postflop we can have initiative. On the flop, again, we could be raising our set for protection, since we don't expect many KK on Villain's ranges. A club turn will not be good for us, but the call is not the end of the world as well. Now, when it completes a flush OTT and Villain checks in position it seems very much that it doesn't have the flush: now the flushes should be betting for protection, because if it double a pair OTR it will not be good for the flush, and ever since BB/Hero had called OTF it can have both flushes, sets and two pair on its range. So, after checking the turn we assume that Villain/BTN isn't with a great holding and it is trying to control the pot. On the river I believe that raising our sets and two pair and even some Top Pairs is a big, huge, giant mistake, because we are only getting paid by the flushes, most of times. Folding, nevertheless, is also a mistake, but a smaller one (we lose less, but we are holding ourselves from winning an interesting pot by folding) However, given the sizing used for Villain (1/2 pot) we have plenty of odds to be calling down with TPTK, TP2K, and any Two Pair and Set. The reason for this call is that BTN can be bluffing a lot in this scenario, and we avoid to be bluffed. Second, BTN/Villain can display hands like K8, K9, K6, 98, 86, 64, 44, 66 and (rare), 99.
