i may be over thinking this one.....

can't get the hand converter to work here....but the question is whether calling the flop bet and shipping the turn is better than shoving over opp flop bet...

the though is that the villain will not fold the flop because the odds are so good, but may fold if he doesn't hit his draw on the turn, or may call with worse odds. It seems the villain mistake, with his range, will be larger if he sees a turn card and doesn't complete his draw.

if he does hit we can ship anyways and there would be no change....this would apply to flush draws and ak

it would be useful for sure i think if we were on a bubble or at the ft....

or am i crazy?

  • reads/stats? I could make a case for calling or check raise/calling a shove.

    After seeing results: looks fine but I prefer making it ~12k and calling a shove. This hand's super standard though, the money's just gonna get in anyways, both played it fine.

    right on....

    ya, no reads, only higher stake people have 'reads', i just watch tv and mash buttons :D

    its just a weird thought because if i peel of a non broadway, non club card i cut his drawing % in half (mind you theres a little more in the pot) vs any flush, straight, or overpair draw.

    in this hand, im sure the money woulda went in on the turn, but i think its a bigger mistake for him if it goes in on the turn.....
  • This

    Is actually a very common Limit hold 'em strategy for obvious reasons (bigger turn bet, bigger mistake re: odds). But in NLHE, it's different.

    In this case, how do you know you're ahead?

    your this didn't point to anything...do you mean what i said or what vekked said......

    in this case I don't know im ahead, but vs his range where hes ahead, calling and jamming the turn won't change but vs the part of his range where hes drawing his mistake is bigger if he sees a turn card thats bricks him. I have to add in the pot odds from the flop bet/call but i think it makes it a slighter mistake for him.....

    i hope you understand to comment (i might not have explained well)
  • I get it...

    Bigger mistakes = bigger profit. So I like the theory behind your thinkings...

    Though I think it's more applicable when you're clearly ahead, two pair vs. draw for example (in a set situation I'd rather get it all in ahead on a flop and hope to re-suck if he hits).

    Stack sizes are also important, ideally you want all his chips (or yours) in ahead and making the biggest mistake... so, I'll watch this thread.

    but this is a question vs. his range.

    vs the parts of his range im behind, i will likely lose either way, but we'd prefer to lose all our chips on the flop to have two cards to draw to....

    but since his range is quite wide and likely has more drawing hands than made hands (i think im ahead more often than not ***btw this was my read can't remember why*****).....then if we peel a turn we can create a bigger mistake from the villain with a large majority of his range.

    the two kickers though are if we have fold equity on the flop jam, and if we can make some folds if villains hits on the turn.

    and he does have a little bit better pot odds if i call flop and jam the turn, but i don't think it matches as good vs his drawing equity that gets cut in half most of the time.
  • Just curious about pre... We have 20bbs - Is this hand strong enough to shovel resteal?

    i don't thinks so, if im suited then likely. but guys tend to call with all their pairs here, and most big aces that they open pre. here im getting a decent price to call, and i think i can outplay his range depending on some flops....

    in other words i think he will call with most of his preflop opening range but will fold alot of that to aggression on boards that hit my drawing range (hands like medium pps)

    i might be off here though.
  • I'm fine with this play. On any wet board I like the check raise allin more than a standard c/r just so that your hand looks more like a draw and he might calloff with A high or mid pair.

    Reshoving pre is fine as well as you have a nice resteal stack but that all depends on how active pomp has been. For some reason I like the QJs reshove a lot more as well.
  • Yeah I'm not really sure either. I mean he definitely does not need a strong hand to open here. Esp in a $50 game. But I typically try to keep those 20bbs shoves more polarized - either hands that crush his calling range or like small suited connectors or suited one gappers. Generally I don't think shoving here is great, but then again I dunno if I love calling OOP with QJo either. I dunno...

    Obv stats on villian would make this decision more clear, but you were button mashing while smokin a bong.... I mean .... watchin tv.... :wink2:

    I am so guilty of this too.... :-[

    yes but the play im asking about is calling the flop bet and shipping a bricking turn.

    i pomp doesn't fold any of his range i don't think its +ev, if we're suited i think its close but perhaps not even.....not if he never folds....this was my read on him but its debatable....

    thats because it does 3% better vs his entire range....

    yes his range is fairly wide, at+, a9s, kts+, kqo, all pairs kinda thing, maybe a few more....none of which i beat pre......but all those medium pairs can't stand much pressure vs a flop......

    naw when hes likely to call alot (but even fold some), im going to use every hand that matches his range....mathematically that is....qjo off certainly doesn't qjs comes close i think

    def read dependent.....and it would be nicer to be deeper for sure...

    I think the board is drawy enough that we make him make mistakes often enough with out hand. He can get it in with a ton worses Jx, some worse Ts, combo draw type stuff that doesn't do as amazing vs. our exact holding, etc.

    We can't really play any different given his actual holding b/c we're not playing vs. only that holding, we're playing vs. his range (like I think you said). By virtue of us determining that we have a value hand vs. his range, getting it in on the flop will make him make a mistake. If we have a bluffing/semi-bluffing hand, then there could be different lines that help us eek out a little more fold equity and thus a little more EV.
  • And darb's responses seem really spot on re: reshoving. QJs is miles better for reshipping because of it's increased equity, and I would do just that with it. QJo is close, and quite possibly +EV (he needs to be either opening 30% of hands or more, or opening less than that but folding better hands quite frequently), I feel like one of the best ways to combat people who are raising small in mid-late position, and likely frequently, is to flat your broadways which are marginal reshoving hands, yet dominate a lot of their perceived range (that is, if I'm stereotyping this opener well enough based based on position + stack + opening size. I'd need stats to know for sure). Also QJo/KJo/KTo type hands become really easy to play vs. wide ranges with shallower stacks too, because we can hit top pair and play them exactly like this and feel confident that we will get called by worse a high % of the time.
