Villain showed the A spade! What d0 you think about that?

Thanks Peter, nice video as usual ;)

Ps: 21:14 Did you say "that's a French hand"? What does this mean? Where does this expression come from? I'm curious about that because I'm French :p

Salut
I'm actually playing nl10 but last few months I played nl25 too. You?

Thanks for this answer Samu :)

What about his range construction? We can ear sometimes that we can raise big with a polarised range with pur "nuts" and pur "bluffs"...
Can we use a linear range with a big sizing anyway?

Without thinking too much on it, I would say mid set, bottom set, some AA I didn't 4bet, some FD like NFD and combos draws like QJs, 87s maybe I can add some weaker draws with heart blocker.

raising 3.6 comes with 2 issues
-we almost never have FE
-it's near to half of the effective stack, spr turn will be ridiculous

What do you think about this?

I agree but considering we can cbet flop with a decent number of Axcc, what do you think about splitting our range in two bet sizing, one pretty big and another smaller?

I'm not playing on pokerstars.eu but anyway thank you for the advice, I'm trying to improve both my technical and mental game that's why I'm here also because I understood that repeating things on almost every posts what we learnt on the forum Victor and I are coming from this is not the good way to improve.
There is no anger in my post, please do not malign me because you want to defend your friend, I know he struggled in 2NL trying to reproduce thinking process but not thinking. Making mistake is okay anyway, I make my own but last time I played 2NL and 4NL I crushed those stakes quite hardly.

You would like to make your comment usefull? So share with us your opinion on what I have said and not on how I said it since I think it wasn't disrespectful.

Hi Victor! How is the 2NL? Finnally beaten?

"thinking of my hand versus the villain’s range, I would check, since the villain has the range advantage"

??? hand vs range... range advantage? that sentence has no sense to me! To find who has the range advantage we have to compare range vs range and here hero has around 50% equity with 12 more combos of overpairs than villain but almost the same number of sets and TP but a lot more of Ahi so if there is a range advantage for hero it is quite tiny.

"And before overbetting, think of the villain’s range and ask yourself: is the villain’s range capped? is the villain scary? can I make pressure on parts of the range such as a second pair or lower?"

I really don't understand that kind of statements to justifie overbetting in a spot. I'm really interested to hear what others could tell about that but to me that's sounds complete missunderstanding. We can overbet in a spot where we have a lots of very strong hands contrary to villain and doing so we have to add a lots of bluff.

That being said since you are here, I really hope you will stop to spit out like a parrot what you heard previously on another site and learn awesome stuffs on this one.

I forgot something pretty important, SB hasn't fold alrealdy! lol
I'm not sure but he shouldn't have a better hand than JJ, TT, AQs so what he is going to do if hero shoves? Anyway I think it doesn't matter we don't have enough equity and FE to get a +ev shove.
What about calling IP? That sounds not so good...

From a tool on a french site, if you don't understand french that will be hard to use it but here it is: http://f4bht.free.fr/calc_m.php

Hello
As you know EV depends on your equity vs BU calling range and the FE you have vs his 4betting range.
As you can see on this graph and if I've made any mistake, BE points are on the blueline, all above is +ev and all below is -ev. Do you think you will make your opponent fold more than 30%?

Well I agree with Mancuso, most of the time you would like to 3bet or fold in SB so dont put too much weak hands like low Axs hands in you 3bet range.
Post flop that's a tricky line you have taken here, very exploitative. Most of the time I dont have that kind of hand in SB neither a donk strategy OTF, so I dont know but I dont like so much betting so huge on river, you didnt bet the turn because you didnt want to be face up but you made a huge overbet OTR? To me thats much more faced up than second barrel the turn but it worked :p

Hello David.
I'm not sure to understand the question
We want to find board texture(s) where the turn card is always dynamic right?
Are we talking about range vs range btn vs BB?
With or without reducing preflop ranges by actions on flop?
Thanks

As always, thank you David for all your high quality explanations!
However OTF I've made a mistake by betting big and SB x/raised me pretty small, so maybe I should have given up at this point. What do you think?

Yes indeed this a sb vs bb spot, BB is full stack (thanks hm3)

Awesome! Thanks David ;)

I agree thank you!

Hello David

What an interesting comment especially on the turn play! I really appreciate that however this opens a few questions:
What do you mean by "geometric overbet"?
I guess you'll add some "bluff" combos to those you mention above, but how do you select them?
Finally the fact that we have hands with an equity >90% should not be the only condition that allows us to set up an overbet strategy, isn't it?

Anyway thank you for your invaluable help

same thing I ask to jonte89, Is this a good bluffcatcher?
