Upswing Gazzy Notes Flashcards
What hand classes want to check when range betting frequency is between 40-80% as IP PFA vs OOP PFC?
- Ladder effect as all 1st, 2nd, 3rd pair kickers get worse they check more:
- Pocket pairs just below top pair check more but lower pocket pairs need protection against offsuit trash that can pair higher if see turn.
- Complete air with no/minimal backdoor draws
IP PFR vs OOP PFC: how often to bet hands that want to check more?
As much as range wants to:
e.g. 75% of range bets, the same hands that tend to check will still bet frequently,
vs.
e.g. 40% of range bets, the same hands that tend to check will bet less frequently
IP PFR vs OOP PFC: Checking frequency as lower the board and the more connected the board is does what?
More lower and the more connected the flop, more we want to check.
More two pairs etc for OOP.
OOP as BB PFC : What is different in raising frequency/size between BB vs BTN (wide ranges) and BB vs MP/UTG (narrow ranges)?
=Raise more often and for less on wider ranges (even top second pair e.g. on K63)
-Narrow Ranges raise less often for more polar
OOP as BB PFC : What bluff range for raising vs IP Cbet?
Use highest equity semibluffs to fill out the range e.g. gutshots, BDFD, barrel when additional equity gotten
OOP as BB PFC : Which flush draws want to raise a cbet most for instance on a Q62 board?
NUT FLUSH DRAWS W RLY LOW KICKER: e.g. lower (6 and below for insance) suited aces and lower suited kings, don’t block common suited connectors
OOP as BB PFC : less inclined to raise against what size cbets?
Less inclined to raise larger cbets, and start checking some nuts against larger cbets
OOP as PFR vs BTN in SRP: How often are middling and lower boards cbet?
Very little. T high and lower boards can can check range
OOP and equity sucks w/ too much air in range compared to BTN
OOP as PFR vs BTN SRP: Which boards can be cbet very wide?
- very disconnected double broadway boards (e.g. KJ3 or QJ4)
- Kxx more than Qxx due to having hands like K7s but not Q7s
(KJ9r is not, QT6fd is not either due to gutshots and FDs)
OOP as PFR vs BTN SRP: the three types of hands that we check more are?
same stuff checked: our weakest TPs, our immediate underpairs to the highest card, and our complete air.
(what is complete air? 54s can turn so many straight draws, so it bets almost always. 65s can turn some straight draws, but not as many, so it bets a little less, and 76s can turn so few straight draws, so it just never bets. In game, ask yourself how much equity your hand can turn, and if the answer is a lot you can bet your hand really quite wide.
IP As Preflop Caller On BTN vs MP: Stabbing strategies on 743r vs A62fd
743r – MP opens 33/44/77/65s pure, but BTN doesn’t defend these hands 100% of the time. This means that the OOP player has the nut advantage here, but given that 1) he is out of position, and 2) we have the equity advantage, OOP is forced to check a lot on this board. As you can imagine, we do a lot of stabbing here as the IP player. We want to stab hands like 76s, 55, A7s, our marginal one pair hands that want to mainly get value, but also a little bit of protection. In a spot like this where we are stabbing quite frequently with so much of our range, we choose a 33% size.
A62fd – Similarly to the above board, the IP player has a small equity advantage here. Our stab size, however, is a much more polarizing 75%, and we stab at a much lower frequency. The reason for this is that our more marginal one pair hands are not betting anywhere near as often as they are on a board like 743. Look at our weaker top pairs and our middling PPs. There’s so much less value to be had here, so we bet less, and when we bet less frequently, we use a larger stab size.
That’s a great insight into our sizing scheme, and as we’ve seen we still bet all of our category one hands here at almost pure frequency (and we are going to simplify and bet our category one hands here always). The trend that we have seen so far is clear; in SRPs when we are IP, we are betting all of our category one hands always, and a lot of our category two hands, and even our category three and four hands where relevant. When we are OOP, however, we must take the previously mentioned factors into consideration before we decide to bet or raise our category one hands.
