MP is 14/12, but likes to be aggressive preflop. he had 3bet me a few times on other tables, and 4bet me when i squeezed with KQ. he flatted another squeeze, and i check/folded the flop. he's definitely getting the best of me so far during this session, and i have basically folded to him until now. this hand happens 2-3 mins after i check/folded in the last 3bet pot.

the CO is the table fish

CO ($60.25)

1 fold, MP bets $2, CO calls $2, 1 fold, Hero raises to $8, 1 fold, MP calls $6, 1 fold

flop bet sizing was to keep SPR from being 1.5 on the turn.

goat are you b/f or b/c turn?

I think its fairly close between b/f and b/c just based on pot odds. I dont expect to get raised much on turn though so going for 3 barrel is imo the best line. You can make it a lower bet size on turn which still sets up a nice river shove.

I think once you bet turn your committed. Dunno why you wanna bet small on flop to lower spr though since you are never folding on flop.

if you bet turn for $34 and MP shoves, you only have to call 40 into a 160 pot so you only need 20% equity. no way you can fold with the draws on the board imo.

yea i agree a turn bet is committing. btw if he had raised me on the flop i would have gladly shoved all in.


if the SPR were 1.5 on the turn, the pot would be about 50 and the eff stacks would be about 75.

in this scenario, it's harder for either of us to show up with bluffs when we bet. by betting smaller on the flop i keep mine and MP's range wider. i think that's beneficial since i believe MP could only have AJ/QQ as worse made hands that would play for stacks.

Yea we are b/c almost always on turn. I think that betting 12 or 16 doesnt make any difference to opp's flop calling range. Also opp can hold alot of Jx hands here if he felt CO fish would call along alot.

forget about me saying its close, i was just thinking while typing. btw i checked vs 97 we have 18% equity so we have good equity vs pot odds against his 2 pairs hands that would raise turn.

bet flop bigger so you can confidently b/c turn
I mean we're not super worried about draws, but if he decides to flat a flush draw on the flop we'd go ... on a spade turn since we have the Ks

ok, so since the consensus is that the betsizing won't significantly affect MP's perception of my range i should try to play the hand over two streets, even though it possibly leaves a less than 1/2PSB for the river?

I'd rather frontload your bet sizing because people call looser on early streets
also, if they plan on floating you to see if you check the turn, you'd rather make your flop bet bigger so their float is a bigger mistake each time they attempt it

if you want to cbet and give up on the turn, of course you'd like your cbet to be smaller

however, on this board texture we should cbet for value and hands that have outs
we can probably give up on total air because villain can have hands like JT, AJ, two spades, double gutter with 89, etc.
I'm not sure if everyone agrees with this

so on drawy boards we should in general cbet bigger and have more value hands
on dry boards we should cbet our entire range smaller and add more air to our flop betting range and be prepared to barrel people off their crap

The concept of SPR is intended to be based on the flop, not the turn.
"Once we reach a certain level of mastery, we see there are higher levels and challenges. If we are disciplined and patient, we proceed. At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
