In the J9o hand I isolated a limper, I didn't 3bet. BB's coldcall is obviously fine vs an isolation raise.

I guess you gonna give up on every none A, 2 or 6 river on table 2? Also a 4 or any flush card on the river, right?

Yes, but bluffing diamonds because I think flushes are a big part of my perceived range. Flushes from villain's range are somewhat discounted because they are likely to take a different line on the turn, sets are discounted because of the flop and turn calls (a lot of players will just 3bet sets on the flop to try and get it it vs flush draws) and Qx is a large part of villain's range compared to the rest and I think I have decent fold equity vs that on diamond rivers.

Given that it's a limp isolation what do you think of barreling off here trying to get folds from JT, KQ, KJ, QT, and possibly even AJ/AQ on the river. I don't know if players at 200NL are folding AJ to three barrels here, but it's definitely not a comfortable call imo.

Top left ATo:

Seems like a spot where I would bet 55 hoping to get a crying call from 44, A3, AK, AQ, etc. Probably a bad spot to be bluffing those hands then.

Tables is just the slightly modded (background) Nova Theme with the also slightly modded Maya Deck (card backs) and Dark Chips from pokermods.eu.

Was the plan to 4bet fold AJ CO vs BTN ? Really no way to call profitably ? AJ feels too good to be 4bet folding. Small Ax hand are better for that. Yes it sucks to play OOP but his BTN 3bet range is so wide that I feel confident that we can call profitable. But more ch calling when we hit to keep his range wide as possible. Or maybe CC donk turn if we think he ch back tu alot. Plus mix some small cr bluffs when the flop comes 745r = Profit IMO

what you think of flatting small PPs n BBvsBTN, when the BTN is competent?
I do not flat them often in SBvsBTN, when the BB is competent (3b or fold them).
But imo you kinda have to flat them as the BB because in the BB you wanna defend passively a wider range, so having those small PPs in your coldcall-range is good for your whole range (it will allow you to rep more set-combos for example...).
What you think about it?

You are kind of off in your first analysis of big blind fast fold. The fast fold option does not become available until a bet higher than the value of the big blind has been bet. For example, it is commin to click fast fold if you have j2 in the big blind facing a min raise from early position. However, since we are speaking specifically about a sb vs bb war, we would then assume that each player including the button has folded. For this reason the big blind will not have clicked fast more often than if they would check the 'fold to any bet' button in a regular 6 max game. Although a higher sb raise % may still be profitable.

Totally standard, especially if they're raising less than 3x

yah, 4-bet/fold. it's too good to fold to the 3-bet but too weak to call. I don't think calling and "playing poker" is a very good idea against a competent player on the button.

i'd rather be tighter and more aggressive in the BB than a passive checking station Smile

Hm,
but don`t you anyways think that your range needs to have those small pps to be able to rep most sets on different boards?
I mean, in the BB we just have a reasonable wide passive defendingrange, even when we are tight.
