Message: [QUOTE="RidaPKR, post: 6458909, member: 1005041"] Hello ratbat615. Your open raise seems a bit loose to me with 65s at LJ with 44 big blids of effective stack. Unless the players behind you are all NITS. My bottom open range here is 76s at 2.2x instead of a minraise. When you want to analyze a hand try to think in terms of range advantage. In this spot, what is your raising range and what are the calling ranges of BTN and bing blings? In theory Hero should raise this preflop: 55+,A2s+,K4s+,Q8s+,J8s+,T8s+,97s+,87s,76s,A9o+,KTo+,QJo,JTo BTN should call this: TT-22,AQs-A7s,A5s-A4s,K7s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T8s+,97s+,87s,76s,65s,54s,AQo-ATo,KJo+ Big blinds should call this: 99-22,AJs-A7s,A4s-A2s,KTs+,K8s-K7s,K5s-K2s,Q2s+,J8s-J2s,T8s-T2s,92s+,82s+,76s,74s-72s,62s+, 52s+,42s+,32s,AJo-ATo,A8o-A2o,K5o+,Q8o+,J8o+,T8o+,97o+,86o+,76o,65o,54o On the flop 7d-4h-6h, BTN's range is advantaged with 34.81% equity against 32.39% for Hero and 32.8% for Big Blinds. [ATTACH type="full"]312172[/ATTACH] Excellent tournament players will never c-bet a flop that gives them less than 58% equity especially in multiways. Therefore, the best flop option in this spot is to check. On the turn, the 8 is not the best card but you have to bet, say 80% pot to gain value on hearts, 7x, 8x, 6x, two pairs or three of a kind. When Vilain check-raises all-in turn. We need to analyze the villain profile. If it's a maniac I call without problem. If he's a competent player, I can find a fold because I don't have the max game. [B]But I admit that the latter is very difficult to achieve in game.[/B] The 8 of Spades benefits the BTN range as you can see (53.2% vs. 46.8) [ATTACH type="full"]312174[/ATTACH] But 65s against BTN's range is clearly ahead.
