Session 7

I hate RE spots VS good players, but I'm not adverse to making the odd call down VS someone I percieve to be bad or unbalanced. As such, take this hand:

I call flop because if a low card comes again I'm unlikely to be bluffed off of the best hand. In addition, 7x and sometimes 8x will check back from this villain, so on the whole the cbet is weighted towards bluffs.

On the turn, I just believed that Ax gets checked back a lot on the flop from this player. Turn and river my hand= KK as much as 55 (albeit random bluffs have overcards on the turn) and, given it's a very clear multibarrel spot to a badish but thinking player I went with the call down.

Another draw spot:

Pf I have to call, he's on megatilt and 3betting everything. I've caught him with 74s, T9o, all kinds of stuff. The question is, on the flop, do I have any FE? Gven I have 38% VS AQ, I hardly need any at all, but i still hate it I think for some reason.

Finally an interesting flop/ turn line and tough river decision.

In terms of the flop, I've found a good way to balance my double barrels and give ups. Essentially, if the turn runs out 'good' to double barrel, ie an overcard or whatever, then with strong hands and bluffs I'll be betting again. With a strong hand, then if the board runs out bad for barreling in the typical sense, say the bottom card pairs or something, then by betting again my range looks pretty strong and blows out random floats, and so I go for a CR. Obviously this balances the times I'm check giving up on these bad boards as well.

River spot, not great. CF, shove, c-call?

55 wise up.

KJs no other way to play it. Yes you have fold equity.
