Too tired to play poker today now so going through some old threads for some practice and bumpage:
Doing this without looking at other posters answers:
1.) Minraise - 2bb/(2bb + 1.5bb) = 57% they need to fold.
Combined they fold .89*.80 = 71% of the time.
29% of the time they 3bet or call and we lose 2bb = .58bb
71% of the time they fold and we net 3.5bb = 2.49bb
Total EV of 1.91bb per raise attempt.
2.) I'm raising as much as I can before fish start to fold. The TAGs aren't going to present much in the way of resistance, and when they do we can find out very quickly where we stand PF or OTF. Vs the fish we're trying to maximize as much value as humanly possible while they're willing to put money in and we're crushing their calling ranges. I'm making it at least 6bb, and steadily increasing my raise sizes til I found out where they won't call as liberally.
3.) Preferably we have position in this scenario. Regardless, we manipulate this fish's tendency to call a lot PF and fold too much postflop by raising more hands than normal, for a larger raise size than normal and cbet with a higher frequency than normal.
4.) False. Fish isn't going to be able to exploit his card advantage from OOP to a superior player enough to keep me from raising shitty hands. We exploit him by being in better position, with a better skill advantage. These two outweigh his card advantage when he calls. Being able to handread helps. :3
5.) We want to get enough money in from the 20/3 passive, but not expose ourselves to too much risk vs the 65/42 tard. Unless of course we have some sort of read that says he l/jams like 22+ and broadways or something along those lines. I'd raise to ~5-7bb. Big enough to create a good sized pot postflop if we choose to, small enough that we can fold w/o losing too much when MP spazztards on us.
6.) I'd do something to incite the tard's rage, like insta-minraising. Whether or not he 4bets, the pot is built PF, he doesn't have much of an inkling that he's crush, and we get to value town him a looooot. Ofc the times he 4bets and doesn't jam, we get to ship it in his face.
7.) Make our raises larger than normal w/ hands we are comfortable playing a big pot with. Raise smaller when stealing to keep pot smaller post and control its size. We want to dictate the size of the pot and the action postflop when we're deep and in position.
8.) Assuming the BTN and SB only call the frequency of their VPIP, they all need to fold 68% of the time for it to be breakeven. We could raise 3x here and show a (slight) profit. Might as well minraise or 2.5x to get that much more bbs.
9.) I'd rather adjust my range for raising rather than my sizing per se, but I guess if we were 4x'ing, make it a 3x, if we were 3x'ing make it 2x? Idk this question is meh.
10.) I'm raising to like, 50bb and value betting relentlessly when I get a piece.
