Message: [QUOTE="Funtast, post: 6869796, member: 1030354"] I bet low on flop and turn to keep all his weaker aces and some JJ+ in. There are no possible draws on the flop except 4 combos of 67s. I dont think he turns any of his value hands into a bluff by the river often enough to justify checking. Well yes! And no! The point is the number of players left to act and the potodds they have to call. As LJ is oop vs HJ, CO and BU those 3bets still hurt a lot of your range. As BU you aren't concerned of that. But what might concern you is that BB calls you with 60% of his hands having great potodds if only 2x OR pre. With KK/QQ I check and fold because he has me beat a lot of the time at this point. No reason to herocall on a dry board. Would you check/call or check/raise/jam? I mean I would never go check call with KK-JJ here since on any turn I would have to fold anyway? That's why I polarized. I could also do OTF big, check/jam turn - jam river. The thing is there is not much equity to pick with that flop. Yeah suited hands can pick up a draw as any broadway combo but thats like 11BB for a maybe draw.. I think the difference between 15BB and 11BB is quite a lot, because of the possible runouts on turn and river. I am not tripple barreling if I dont have a Big Hand. I check the river in that line if I am weak. The whole point is I thought I have 95% the nuts. I also thought that the best way to extract maximum value is to play the weak weak shove polarize game on that dry board. When he called the turn I was pretty sure he has an A+ or at least a Bluffcatcher like JJ-QQ if ambicious. I also thought that the diamond on the river was a good candidate to jam because it's so unlikely for me to have a flush there. I think often it's not between right and wrong but between good reasoning or no reasoning. Both can be right or wrong if your reasoning sucks. Oh I jammed river and he flipped pocket tens. [/QUOTE]
