S02 - E02 - Playing Turns after Check-Raising

Question 1

Straight completing Low/Mid Turns - Js6s4d

Answer 1

• Very aggressive on these turns. 7c have 70% betting frequency
• Overbet sizing to build pot. Small size used on flop vs BTN

Question 2

Flush completing Turns - Js6s4d

Answer 2

• Small bet size (33%), can bet wide
• Low spades are better
• Value - Keep betting 2pair+ and AsJx (BDFD)
• Bluffs - Equity-driven. KsTx/QsTx

Question 3

Overcard Brick Turns - Js6s4d

Answer 3

• Overcards are really bad for our range
• Betting frequency goes down. Still using overbets
• We’re polarized to strong hands and equity driven bluffs (no gutshots)
• 85hh doesn’t bet Ac, but does bet a 2 or 8

Question 4

Board-Pairing Turns - Js6s4d

Answer 4

• Disastrous turns. Range equity and global betting frequency are both very low
• We need to be trapping a lot with value; bluffs are all high-equity
• These boards block our value range, as there are now less combos available for our very strong hands like sets and two pairs

Question 5

Adjusting vs Tighter Positions - Js6s4d

Answer 5

• Things don’t change that much. If turn is really good for your range, bet wide. If turn card is bad, shut down.
• We do raise a fewer airballs on the flop, so overcards and board-pairing turns are even worse

Question 6

Paired Flops - TdTc2h

Answer 6

• We check-raise a lot of backdoor draws on this flop, Q8s/J8s 53s/43s (hands that unblock A/K high hands that will fold), when they pick up equtity on turn we barrel
• Overcard turns are still very bad. Remember to trap with some strong hands
• Favor betting size of 33% or 75%. Villain has lots of trips in his range

Question 7

Disconnected Flops - Ks8d2h

Answer 7

• We check-raise a lot of backdoor draws on this flop, as well as thin value - 97dd KJ
• Only 2 out of 47 turns give us more equity that villain. Don’t be afraid to check/fold with air and only use high-equity bluffs
