    Solvers are a classic example of “garbage in garbage out”. Meaning if your opponents aren’t playing GTO, as the solver assumes, the solver response becomes less and less relevant. Vast majority of live players at these stakes aren’t bluffing this river even close to the frequency that the solver assumes.

      I do agree with you on the fact that you shouldn't follow solver to the letter, but by studying these spots in it becomes more and more easier to deviate from ''optimal play'' and adapt to the situation. By thinking solver is only bad because not relevant against majority of live player you restrict yourself from learning how to maximize your ev in certain situation.
      Btw solver pure folds A9 here because villain's only bluffs are 9x that b/3bet flop(which won't really happen in reality even vs really good players).

      @@JohnSmith-nx7zj The As not has relevant because villain should not shove flushes here is value comes from full houses and quads here. To be honest my first thoughts before looking at the hand was that its probably a hand we want to mix calls here since it felt better then a flush for the reason you mention.
      The problem here is that the solver is also bluffing 7x river trying to fold out a flush blocking some of our full house. So solver rather just call with nut flush blocking some fh and also winning against all the possible bluffs. They also mix some calls with other flushes but, mix fold with lots of them.
      But again we have to think about what most people would actually do in those situation, is villain really ever going to bluff 7x here on the river trying to fold out a flush or will he just bluff catch(also will he really bet/3bet 7x on the flop seems a bit unlikely). So A9 might become a better bluff catcher in play then in theory and could definitely be a better call then a random flush.

      Don't 4x open then. Open to 6x, or 8x... _but_ tighten your opening range accordingly, including remembering that speculative hands like suited connectors lose almost all their value at these shallow stack depths.
      The point is to size up your opens until you get one or zero callers, but tighten up the range that you open with preflop.

    • @xxxYYZxxx
      @xxxYYZxxx Рік тому

      The problem could be lack of polarity. The game sounds amazing. Are you opening 4x with marginal hands too, or just premium hands? If the table knows "4x = AK/QQ+", they'll call just because they know your range, meaning you'll likely win a small pot or lose big. Use the same basic raise size for all hands, eg 2-4 or 3-5x. If they're not 3-betting frequently, you can raise (even 2.5x) quite often if you can outplay the field post-flop.

    Anyway, as per my rule, when you check raise huge, and villain reraises you exactly 3x... he has the effective nuts, and I'm talking about the most unlikely - either AA or 99.
    Hopefully there's a reveal. I'll be super shocked if villain only has Ax or just naked spades.

I just can't imagine villain bluff raising river after you called his 3 bet on the flop, the flush came in, the straight came in, and the board paired.

    I'm not saying I never get into tough-decision situations. But 100%, I don't ever get into this one. Easy fold preflop, end of story. Calling with A9o OOP against a non-wild, skilled UTG raiser on my immediate left, just isn't my thing, not even close. Anything bad that happens to people who do call it while 600BB/200STR deep, deserve it.
    If in some similar situation, say with ATs (of wrong suit obviously, or back door draw) on AT8 flop where villain has TT, I face something similar, BUT WAY LESS OFTEN. We all get coolered. Don't get coolered holding garbage preflop hands you should have folded, and the amount you lose on coolers will drop way down.
    That doesn't mean I'm unbalanced and always have the nuts like a nit. I'd just rather balance my ranges with unexpected hands that are easier to play. I'd call with 64s or even 63s way before I'd call with A9o in that spot. The flop call of the 3 bet was also suspect. I'd fold or shove. When the spade comes on the turn, I'd shove. When the 7 pairs on the river, I'd beat myself up for not folding or shoving sooner. The problem is not figuring out what to do in that spot on the river. The problem is allowing it to happen. Call preflop, really? Raise call flop with 4 outs if you're behind, really? Give free river card on scare turn card, really? Those were the mistakes, not bet calling the river on the second scare card.
    By the river, hero is forced to decide whether he has pot odds (created by throwing his own money away on previous streets, that villain's shove takes all the equity from) to call and likely throw good money after bad.

    Tough hand. Got the A blocker, 9 blocker, spade blocker, and the 7 blocker on river. The problem is that villain is repping 1 hand from all those combos and they all got there and is comfortable getting the rest of the money in on the river. Or he just has complete air. It’s very very rare that villain has complete air with this line especially live poker unless this is his first time playing. I think I check fold here.

      Trust your reads. If the guy is a studied tight player, a 3bet on the flop is a very rare nutted action. 95% of studied solid players are very unbalanced in this spot and won't 3bet the flop with the nut flush draw or even the straight flush draw. These type of players make their money from playing tighter ranges and getting value from loose players. They aren't there to make fancy plays and punt. The spade on the turn is the truth serum. When he 3bets flop and checks the turn, he almost never has a flush. If you had any doubt at this point, a 1/4 pot bet on the river would suffice. If some rare occurance villain had A7s or 97s, then he would just call river. If he raises, hero is beat. Hero has all the flushes in his range being in the str. It is common for hero to check turn and let the villain continue aggression on the turn and then bet the river with the flush when villain checks back turn.

      lol theres absolutely no way AK gets played this way as BET-3BET flop. Maybe against a complete spaz (Hero) but otherwise respect must be given to the initial raiser.
      You live in a fantasy land. the hands not even over and im still watching. the flop is either 77, 99, AA, A7, A9. only ONE of these outcomes are safe for hero which is a chop. This is obvious from the check on the turn when Villian clearly doesn't like the spades and is worried hero got there.

    This was a very interesting hand. It’s super nitty but any thoughts about folding to the flop 3 bet? When hero has ace of spades, are there any 3 bet bluffs here? And are there any worse hands villain is 3 betting with? Maybe A7. Doesn’t seem like villain is 3 betting AK very often.

      I guess it depends how wide V is opening. He’s effectively the HJ since it’s a 6 handed game with a straddle.
      JTss seems definitely possible. Then maybe 65ss. And T8ss and 86ss if he’s opening those hands.
      Of course even if he has those combo draws does he always 3 bet them on the flop?
      Folding does seem v nitty though.

      With $3k effective and the Hero holding Ace of spades, the $600 re-raise isn't likely AK. In any "normal" $5 game with 100-200 blinds in play, the 3-bet on the flop would be all in or close thereto, and could easily be AKo.

  • @nobbynobbynoob
    @nobbynobbynoob Рік тому

    V jams river when it looks as though H easily has pretty much the nuts: would even A♥️ 7♥️ fall into his value range?
    Facing about a half-pot-sized raise, odds laid are three to one, so H needs about 25% equity to break even, ignoring rake. For V:
    Obvious value = 99, AA, 77, 8♠️ 6♠️
    Obvious bluff = 10♦️ 8♦️
    I think I'm still folding river unless V is a maniac, as not enough bluffs to justify the call. If V checked back a brick turn instead of the 5♠️, then it's harder for him to rep the nuts on fifth street, as that would normally bet on fourth street.
    As Bart said, a lot of it does boil down to V's flop three bet range.
    ETA: I'm probably folding pre, but that's irrelevant for discussing this hand as played.

    I feel like the villain told his story here. What bluffs are going to open first to act preflop and then 3 bet a flop that gives the straddle the range advantage? No way AK off 3 bets that flop. If the villain is a decent player like hero says, the villain would know that the straddle has the range advantage and still 3 bet anyway. He checked the turn because of the spade and got a great river card. Bluffs are 10-8 off which would never open first to act and AK off which would never 3 bet that flop. What other bluffs are there that take that line?

    Easy fold pre against a skilled utg raiser. A9o is just not a hand I want to play oop. The flop is the most important street here, you flop pretty good but you’re too deep to gii so I hate the c/r. Sure you put him in a tough spot with AK but since you’re not getting stacks in you can still extract similar value with a cc line in the flop. Once the river hits you need to have a better plan, if you think this guy is capable of bluff raising I prefer just checking and letting him bluff bc I think that happens more often than he bluff raises so I think you get more $$ this way. When you bet the river the raise is just never a bluff. Sure you say this guy is capable of bluff raising the river but what hands is he doing it with? You hold the As so AK w/Ks? That’s a pretty insane bluff raise. I know he doesn’t have a lot value combos but he has almost no bluff combos

Only an absolute moron thinks that Villain is doing this with AK/AQ. Villian is hoping YOU HAVE this hand when 3 betting flop. You check the turn which Villian doesn't like either. clearly he wasn't 3 betting a NON NUT FLUSH draw. In the end, it didn't matter since villian filled up.
