#1 flop is fine, fold turn. ur almost always dead vs this guy

#2 4bet pre. its a great spot for him to squeeze and a call might encourage CO to come a long. For me it´s near impossible to play this well postflop in a 3way OOP. As played I believe u must cry and shove over

hand 2: if i 4 bet and he shoves over , whats your game plan? Also, how much more do you want to 4 bet him with the intention of folding to a shove?

I 4bet to 34 leaving roughly 65 behind, not intending to fold. If he shoves over we´ll be getting better than 2:1 on our money which makes it an easy call. Given his stats I believe he folds to 4bet >50%

the pessismists calc for the CO-folds-scenario and opp shoving AA, KK:

ev = .5*22 + .5*(.2*137 - .8*65) = -1.3

and if villian shoves AK as well

ev = .5*22 + .5*(.4*137 - .6*65) = 18.9

Hand 1 - I kind of hate calling the flop raise knowing that we're going to be folding to a turn bet. I think against a guy this tight, we can probably be okay with just folding to the flop c/r if we don't believe that he's playing the flush draw like this, although I can't blame you for calling.

Hand 2 - This is the kind of spot I used to hate getting in because I felt like I was always screwing myself over or something, but I agree with XTR that this calls for a 4-bet that's calling a shove.

i just played this level less than two weeks, so i really proceeded with cautions and took lots of notes on my opps :cool:

hand 1: i called his flop c/r coz his flop AF is rather higher than normal and folded on the turn.

hand 2: i don't have solid read on this guy like he 3 bet light IP and squeeze a lot, etc. 169 hands is probably not enough to categorize him. i agree that 4 bet here is a better line than flat calling when in doubt. As played, i folded on the flop right after he bet into two ppl this aggressively.

Yeah fwiw I think folding the flop in hand 2 is best as played.

How do you calculate this?
The ".5*22" is ok (i.e. the 50% of chance that opp folds), however I don't get the part in parenthesis ...
Thanks!

Tighter players will tend to have a higher AF. A 10/4 and a 40/12 might play post-flop the same but have very different flop AFs. DUCY?

second term represents the times its shoved on us after we 4bet to 34. There will be $137 in pot and we have $65 left to call. The first calc assumes we get shoved on by KK+ giving us 20% equity. We will win $137 20% the time and lose $65 80% the time.

If villian shoves KK+, AK our equity increases to 40%

Thanks!
