Message: [QUOTE="Jblocher1, post: 6111349, member: 92474"] Your overall gameplan at 2NL should be very simple, pile in money with the best of it and don't pile in money without the best of it. GTO doesn't really have a place at the micros and the goal should be strong exploitative play. You don't need to worry too much about balance because like you said, these players are not thinking about or considering whether you are balanced or not. They are playing their cards. For this reason, your exact hand becomes more important than your range. In spots like this we should still range bet, but our decision to bet or not bet on turn/river should primarily be: 1. If I bet turn, will my opponent be able to continue with worse? 2. If not, do I expect my bet will generate enough folds as a bluff? 3. If I have value, and my opponent is able to call a range bet on flop, do I expect that I'll be able to extract more value on the river? In this exact spot, when we range bet the flop, we would absolutely never fire this turn unless it was a K. KK becomes a tremendous river bluff catcher after we check back turn. It would be odd if we bet flop and then continued betting on this turn with KK because its unlikely that villain would continue worse than Ax, maybe we get crying calls from QQ or JJ sometimes but a lot of those hands will fold to double barrels. But when we check back turn, it increases the likelihood that villain will fire those hands for value on river or at least call a bet. So when recheck back turn we give ourselves a few ways to make money. We can make money by: 1. inducing a bluff out of villain on river 2. Inducing villain to call a bet when he checks and we fire river. KK would be at most a 2 street value hand on this texture and I've found it usually makes more sense to seek that value on flop + river on these drier textures as opposed to flop + turn. [/QUOTE]
