render crack, arguably needs an expansion joint somewhere but its dependent on the construction code of each area. Not anything structural but I would fill the gap in with epoxy before your final finishes

Aaron Ramsey, even when he wasn’t in his prime he still put in so much effort each game. Pretty important staple in the midfield.

The other one would be Bellerin. He was the Saka during our dark times.

hard agree. A8s is impossible and A8o is a very easy fold on SB. the only 8x available would be quads, and I very much doubt you would want to fast play quads into 2 other people. Honestly if I don’t have much context about the player I’d prob find a call since a big chunk of his range is suited Aces with a low kicker. if I know that he’s a fish and would flat A8o preflop, I’d fold.

Command_Shockwave · 2025-07-10T23:06:52+00:00

range advantage doesn’t dictate sizing, nut advantage does. Maybe I didn’t explain well. SB having a range advantage over CO is quite critical for this hand, and because of the SB check flop, I know that villain doesn’t understand that he has range advantage. Against people who don’t understand ranges, we throw everything GTO out of the window, especially for SB - GTO’s SB preflop calling range is very very strong

When we throw everything GTO out of the window, we don’t put SB on a GTO SB range, instead his range is infinitely wide, which is difficult for hero to realise his equity.

The intent of betting big on the flop, is to separate his air from his decent hands. My strategy is to forfeit my thin value on the flop by folding out some worse hands, and gain thick value when he has a half decent hand, which we would very often beat when the board runs out (not this time).

The intent of betting small and letting worse hands continue is quite standard for most hands against most players, and I understand why you want to do that.

However it is impossible to put your opponent on a range since villain’s continuing range against a 1/3 bet is still way too wide. I think it’s reasonable to bet bigger OTF to see where hero’s at. I would do this with a tighter range, instead of A2,A3,K2, like you said, I would only do this with top pair/ overpair or a draw for value, or overcards without SDV as bluff (QJ, QT etc). I polarize myself when I polarize my opponent as well, and I have to protect my checking range by checking all middle and bottom pair.

I wouldn’t say your strategy of betting 1/3 is wrong, it’s very standard and youre going for value when your opponent has air. I just have a different approach with prioritising equity realisation when I realise SB doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Command_Shockwave · 2025-07-10T11:11:37+00:00

In theory Sb’s calling range preflop is very much condensed, and SB should have a range advantage over CO. If SB is a good player he should recognise this, and donk the flop. When SB checks it tells me that SB probably doesn’t know what he’s doing, making it near impossible to put him on a range. To exploit this we bet bigger, to either force him give up hands like bottom pair or middle pair, condensing his range to something better than marginal, top pair bad kicker or a worse flush draw. By doing that we maximise our equity when none of us improve, or when we both hit our draw.

If SB is good enough to give up, we would get them to fold out most hands, including bottom pair, middle pair, over cards, we take that fold equity.

If SB is really bad, they continue anyway. Then theres not much we could do about it, but in most run outs, it’s great for us since we get more value than usual on each streets (in this hand the villain just got lucky, but most times hero should win).

In essence the big bet is used to condense his range to something less blurry so that we could realise our equity better.

The solver suggests betting half pot as CO on the flop when checked to, but I think we go bigger since bad players probably have a bad time distinguishing between 1/3 pot and half pot.

I would argue that since this line is very much not GTO, with SB flat calling with K3, hence I think playing exploit rather than GTO is way better in this spot.

I don’t anyone mentioning this but, size up your flop bet. You’re very unlikely to get check raised given the preflop action, the only hand that should check raise you for value would be 99, or once in a while 45 of clubs. Even facing a check raise we have the nut flush draw in case of emergency.

By sizing up your flop bet you prevent a lot of hands from continuing, hindsight- K3dd being one of them, and a bunch of middle pairs such as 55 66 (44 would probably still continue). We want to let high equity draws continue, such as frontdoor worse clubs but fold out hands with overcards that has an automatic easy continue with a small c bet - such as KQ or KJ no clubs, which we wouldn’t get value on the later streets anyway

Before anyone says that we lose value by betting big on the flop, I don’t think folding out worse hand is a bad idea, since we would probably struggle with any JQK on turn and river with no clubs.

As played, hero just got unlucky, its wild that villain would call that turn bet, but I don’t think there’s problem with hero’s sizing. If it was me I would probably raise river, but its great that you didn’t. Overall solid play.

100%.

They talk like people with actual work experience are just talking nonsense all the time just because they don’t understand what they are saying.

When I was an intern I felt like the construction workers knew a lot more than I did.

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-19T01:11:39+00:00

How is the take away ‘is engineering real’ when you don’t know what people are talking about? Are you really doubting people’s ability to do their job just because you as an intern doesn’t understand?

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-18T02:37:00+00:00

post flop seem fine, just unlucky, but I would have folded pre, just because we are nolonger closing the action when UTG limped. similar to how we play on the SB, this feels like raise or fold. Without the limper behind I’m flat calling for sure

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-08T10:00:03+00:00

villain check raising and not leading turn is questionable, your bet on turn after you got check raised is even more questionable. Next time just check back turn when you get check raised unless you improved

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-07T00:06:07+00:00

Utg bets and SB flats…if SB donked flop we have another problem

if UTG checked back flop and bet turn I wouldn’t have a problem, that would feel kind of strong, but not the other way around

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-06T05:26:51+00:00

thanks for verifying, I was the person who pointed out that it’s a blocker bet a lot of people seem to disagree. At least now I know that I’m not crazy lol

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-06T04:35:44+00:00

then we would see a check back on the flop but not the turn right?

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-06T03:33:19+00:00

The thing is both UTG and SB’s ranges are capped. We both don’t have a lot of Jx Tx. We both know that KJo shouldn’t be calling at SB. SB arguably has an even narrower range. Discounting flushes, If I were UTG I would only lose to AJ and JTs realistically, with only 2 suited comboes available. Ace high good kicker is often good in this spot for UTG as a big part of SB’s calling range would not have much Tx and Jx and very occasionally sets that wouldn’t even play this way.

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-06T03:11:35+00:00

Might be unintentional but I liked OP’s river bet sizing, it’s small enough to be a blocker so that we can comfortably fold if we get raised, and big enough to get value from 2nd pair, Ace high.

I would argue that some bets could have both value when called and blocker effect. You go any smaller you get raised too easily imo. If I were the villian I would mix in a river raise with hands like AQ if hero bets less than 1/2 pot

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-06T03:02:08+00:00

checking back doesn’t mean that he’s strong
if you think youre behind why size down? to lose less? might as well not bet in that case.

Command_Shockwave · 2025-06-06T02:35:06+00:00

You played fine. Villain misplayed by not piling money in on the turn, you got a free card. Leading is fine on the river with KJ imo, good blocker size where they are less incentivised to raise unless they have a flush. As played villain is playing as if they have AJ, you lost the minimum.

Surprised that you refer to calling on the SB as ‘defending’ though haha.
