Hand Readers: Episode Four by terp, orange

Terp and Orange continue their hand reading venture by building of last week's seminar on board textures. Where to double barrel and why we do it, is pivotal this week.

Orange and terp explore the answer in this series, primarily focused on hand reading, equity distribution and balancing. A must watch for any micro or small stakes player.

If the flop is broadway rag rag and you cbet and get a call, a turn broadway will crush a large majority of hands that called the flop bet making the turn barrel effective.

Alternatively, if the flop came broadway broadway rag, most hands that call a flop bet will pick up a gutshot or possibly even two pair on a broadway turn, meaning they are terrible cards to barrel if you don't pick up equity.

If you bet a very disconnected board like k27 and the turn is a 3, which as I understand it is a bad card to barrel, doesn't the fact that you ARE betting (this would be against an opponent who can read hands knows this is not a good barrel card) actually strengthen your perceived range in his mind therefore increasing fold equity?

right - this is what is typically called leveling. exploiting the appearance of a situation to produce a desired result.

on the other hand, a lot of players these days expect a double barrel on this board but not a triple, since they think THEIR turn call will look a lot like Kx that is never folding river Smile

Yeah I guess that is the perfect example of leveling. Thanks for your time Smile

Do you really expect anyone to fold KQ even if the turn is Jh river Ah and we bet bet bet? I'm just not sure if most people would.

some people won't but it is pretty much the nut runout for our range. in essence, if they calldown, either they suck and call too much or we bluff too much. (it's also possible both are true and they aren't calling down for the right reasons!)

i was just wondering if your bluffing strategies change whether your in, or out of position. are you still bluffing the same flop, turn, and river cards? another question is if you just call preflop do you still try bluffing flop, turn, and river.

hey chuck,

we definitely will change based on position. if nothing else, preflop ranges change, so it would be imprudent not to take this into account. as well, people will take different postflop lines based on their position to us, so we have to adjust to this, too.
