Mind elaborating a little bit more? Exactly against what part of his range do you think checking plays better than betting? Imo, the whole decision should be based on how villain plays his weak aces, right? Do you believe he is more likely to bet than call A5, for example? Do you think he will ever turn his tens into bluffs? 

@lazuri: when we bet 55% of the pot, villain has to call 55 into a 155 pot, so he has to be right ~26% (not 24%!). GTO-wise, that means that our range should have 26% of bluffs.

@th04: I am not sure, but our value range will get sucked out as well, so it might balances out that way?

I think that this is a good and relevant point. If we only value-bet "AQ, QQ+, 99", then our value range has 30 combos. Assuming a .55pot bet, then our value:bluff ratio should be 74:24 and hence we should only have 10 bluff combos. 

Now even if we dont 3bet JTo and want to be semi-bluffing this turn with "JTs,87s,AcKc,AcJc,KcJc,AcTc,KcTc,Ac8c,Ac7c,Ac5c,Ac4c,Ac3c,Ac2c", then thats already 19 combos, almost twice as much as we need. With that being said, if we want to be balanced on this spot (and I believe we should!), not only we should be value-betting KQ, but twice as much and even including QTs-QJs won't do the trick. 

Since I dont believe we can extend our value-range too much more, then we should semi-bluff less. It makes sense to check the top of our range, so depending on how wide we want to vbet, our range should look something like this:   

Value: (QQ+,99,AQs,KQs,AQo,KQo) Bluff: (JTs,87s,KcJc,KcTc,Ac5c,Ac4c,Ac2c)
Value: (QQ+,99,AQs,KQs,QTs+,AQo,KQo) Bluff:(JTs,87s,KcJc,KcTc,Ac8c,Ac7c,Ac5c,Ac4c,Ac2c)

Last, I think I'll have a hard time not betting my nut fd on this type of situation, so Im trying to look for a reason not to be balanced. Any thoughts?

I dont like checking the flop, because I think that our betting range becomes too weak/unbalanced, but I might be wrong. If want to have TP on my checking range (which I do, btw), I'd rather check my weaker queens, like JQ and QT. 

I like bet/folding really small $6~7. I dont expect villains to bluff-raise their weak sd value hands often and you still get called by worse sometimes. 

If you think he can have 88-TT, then 4betting PF is better, imo. 

With your reads, we are trying to get value from 7s mainly. I'd check his WTSD, but since I hardly ever expect villain to have a better hand there, I like betting, but would make it smaller... a little bit over 1/3 I think.

I think Ahigh hands are mostly trying to get to sd on this board, so checking aces would make more sense. 

I suppose that R is a measure of how much of the pre-flop pot that we realize? I haven't watched Lefort's videos, but I've always seen R being used as the percentage of the preflop equity we can realize pos-flop. 

Hey Parker. Nice vid, but I am little bit confused. 

@25:00 you say you are using 4bet % and not 4bet range. Shouldnt the charts represent villain's 4bet range?

+1 for the flopzilla vid
