Can bluff with complete air hands and thin value bet

Question 7

In a neutral world,how picky should I be about my bluffs and value hands?

Answer 7

I should bet thick value and be more selective about my bluffs. Cannot thin value bet or bluff tier 7 bluffs (without blockers to villain’s continue range or nut potential)

Question 8

in an unfavorable world, how picky should I be about my bluffs and value hands?

Answer 8

I don’t have “must bet for value” hands, and i can’t bet air.

Question 9

What’s the Ace Turn fallacy?

Answer 9

Thinking that A turn is good for the C-bettor. It’s not. It negates a lot of PFR’s advantage since the caller will call a flop c-bet with many A-x combos on the flop

Question 10

How do I protect my turn-checking range? In what position?

Answer 10

OOP checking range on the turn should be uncapped. IP I want to bet all or most of my tier 1 value hands, and check only high equity tier 2 hands.

Question 11

What’s the relation between how amazing the world is, and what kind of draws I can bet?

Answer 11

The better the world is for me, the more trashy I can bet.

Complete air- I can bet only in amazing worlds.

Semi trash hands (one overcard) I can bet only in favorable or amazing worlds

a marginal draw (a bad gutshot, 2 overcards) - i can bet in a favorable world

a decent draw I can bet in unfavorable worlds

a premium draw I can bet in an awful world
