1. Hero is OTB with J7s, the SB is a winning reg who 3 bets 7% out of the blinds and folds his sb to steal 80% of the time. The BB is a nit reg who folds 89% to steals and runs 14/10 at 6 max. It is folded round, action to hero.
Raise 2.5x. Nit on BB should fold to most cbets. If SB calls depends more on flop.
2. Hero is utg in a FR game with AKs. The table is fairly soft and consists of a few nitty TAGs and 4 stationy fish. These guys play 54/11 on average and hate to fold preflop. Action to hero.
Raise 6.5x. Fold to TAG 3bet.
*3. How can we use preflop sizing to exploit a fish who limp/calls a lot and plays fit or fold postflop?
Raise more pre with good and bad, cbet often to take a bigger pot.
*4. T or F. We usually shouldn't open hands on the button vs a large fish in the blinds that are behiond his calling range equity wise.
False in you can open these hands and vbet anything, but True in that you could just wait for a better hand...
5. Hero is in the CO with KQo in a 6 max game. UTG (a 20/3 passive fish) and MP (a 65/42 maniac tard) both limp. The BU and blinds are all tight players. Action to Hero.
Make it 6BB and fold to a limp-reraise. On the flop value bet top pair 85% pot but check back a low/middly board.
6. Hero is in MP with KK. The same 65/42 maniac, who has just lost his stack to hero in hand no 5 by calling down with tpwk, opens to 4x UTG, Action to hero.
Make it 18BB, hope for a tilt shove, or a call will build a big pot on flop so we can get it in.
*7. When we are deep (200bbs or more) how should we adjust our BU raise sizing when we have players in the blinds who play much worse than us post flop?
Typically open smaller pre so that we've got more chips and breathing space in which to play on the flop.
8. Hero is in the CO with 87s in FR game and it fold round to him. The Bu and sb are 10/8 and 7/2 respectivley and just fold a ton. The bb is a short stack with only 25bb, he folds to steals 82% of the time and shoves the rest, he's a multitabling SSer. Action to hero
Fold it. Any realistic sized raise is open to a shove from the 25bb stack. The nits won't be flatting a raise much, meaning we're either folding to their 3bet or going to end up in a pot with just the SS in which we'd have no implied odds.
*9. Villains in front of me are 3 betting me lightly and makling life difficult. I like to open a wide range and so need to adjust my raise size to combat this. What should I do with it and why?
Stop opening a wide range... but if you insist, open smaller and 4bet a couple of times a size which they can't casually call.
10. Hero is 9,200bb deep in a HU match and is on the BU with AQs. Villain is 96/3, loves to see flops, and calls down far too lightly preflop, and just has trouble folding anything with any sort of remote potential. Action to hero.
