    Default dry paired boards oop

    Played a short session against some 50nl hu reg yesterday. Whenever my range is weak he just raises and reraises and that's his gameplan in a nutshell. So there is basically no way i can get him off anything on 55Qr. Good chance he will stack off with A high if I c/r or lead.

    That's a spot I struggle a bit in general. When both ranges miss and I know my donk bet will get raised a lot and when I check I will face a bet and he'll stack off very light to a c/r.
    I guess I shouldn't airball bluff and rather get it in with a pretty linear range starting with AJ high or something.
    I also don't want to go into c/f mode too much and loose the dynamic. ldo I will happily get it in with 2nd pair to the board.

    That's what I've been doing IP in similar spots. Not sure how comfortable I am with it oop, but its not like I have a better plan.
    You mean donk/cib? If I just c/cib it seems like he can call down with a sensible range too easily.

    well im sure you've already thought/done this but flatting all mid/high pairs instead of 3betting would be awesome then once he realizes you are doing this and stacking his ass on these boars he will play back at you less cuz ur range isn't as weak anymore but its 50nl so he won't adjust and just keep playing like a retard so bascially just play tighter oop i guess :S

    There's basically two ways to deal with this:

    a) check and give up with air in situations where you think he's going to bloat the pot.

    b) set the hand up in a way where you are in a position to go all in over his bet. For example, you raise and he calls and the flop comes Q55. He checks, instead of betting 4bb, bet 2bb, he makes it 8bb, you make in 14bb, he makes it 28bb, you shove. Or same situation, flop comes Q55, you bet pot, he c/rs to 18bb. you call. turn is a blank. He bets 25-32bb, you shove.

    And lastly, always give him a chance to bloat the pot if you have the nuts but once he has a chance to get all his money in slowplay the hell out of him.

    He basically is a good player vs someone who can fold. I'd just make an overadjustment and play super tight and make his raises and reraises on those boards poor decisions. People dont tend to adjust well from lagg to tight.
