Mid Stakes Shorthanded NL Poker Forums

We need 30% to stack off, right? I´d agree that we probably see KQ in this spot like close to 0%.

Against TT-QQ, AKss and all AQ´s we have 35%. If we exclude all AQ´s we got 3%. So, the margin for a mistake is way more on the bad side for us. We have to put in almost all combos of AQ to make this a slightly marginal (or even break-even) calling-spot for us.

Strange line by Villain for sure ... but still I think it´s a fold.

I teamed up with 2 other players to go over this spot, and we got to the point that the bluffing frequencies at nl100/200 are high enough to justify it. we did this on stars, so it might be possible that on party/ipoker/etc it might not be correct to do so.

this is one of the spots that are depending on the player. if you are playing a 20/18 style with a 7% 3b then I can see that it might not be +ev to 4b/c with AK. but if you are playing a more loose style, it becomes +ev

so yeah, I don't think you are wrong, but I don't think you are completly correct either.

as far to the cbetting part: I'm pretty sure most people cbet Qx on the flop, and that the preflop 3bet calling range is way to tight.

IDK, I remember seeing the results of 300+ regular players in HEM at 200nl and below and none of them had a meaningful, or even any, amount of 3bet bluffs in their range for blind vs EP confrontations and even if they did have a balanced golden ration you'd still be better off calling with AKo just to play against the bottom of their range with a dominating hand and to stop&go vs the villain's AK. Granted that was circa 2010, but I don't think much has changed since then fwiw.

I typically call my entire range vs a 3bet from the blinds in EP at high(er) stakes , and I only 4bet KK+ if my opponent is the kind of reg-fish who goes "derf, derf AI with AK/QQ." It had a non-negligble impact on increasing my win rate, it feels counter intuitive but it's entirely logical when you think about it and see it for yourself.

Easy fold on the river and mark villain as a fish.

pretty surprising that everyone would fold everything worse then JJ
