Lecture 1 Flashcards
(12 cards)
What two kinds of thredholds exist as BB when facing a B75 on the turn?
- Made hands threshold (robust threshold)
- Draws threshold (frail hands threshold)
CO vs BB SRP,
Jd3h2c flop, BB X,XO R33 BB C.
Turn 7d, BB X CO B75
What are the guided questions regarding thresholds?
- What’s the mixing point of robust hands? (made hands that are indifferent, eg mixing between calling and folding)
- What’s the indifference point for frail hands? (draws that are indifferent,eg mixing between a call and a fold).
CO vs BB SRP,
Jd3h2c flop, BB X,XO R33 BB C.
Turn 7d, BB X CO B75
- What’s the threshold for made hands?
- What’s the threshold for draws?
- What would I do with the following: A.8h8c B. Ks7s C.KdQd D.6h6d E.AcQs
- Do I prefer pocket pairs with or without a diamond?
- 55 no diamonds or sth like that
- Any flushdraw calls…all the other draws but 54 are gutshots at most that have very little equity so I’m not sure. A5/A4 havea pair out as are mixing and mostly calling? idk.
- A.8h8c - Mix call/fold
B. Ks7s - I unblock a lot of bluffs, pure call
C. KdQd c-pure call (solver doesn’t raise)
D. 6h6d - Mix call/fold
E. AQo is mixing here - it has some SDV and some pair outs.
- I prefer to call a pair with a diamond since outs are cleaner, and I block one out in case he has a flush draw.
CO vs BB SRP,
Jd3h2c flop, BB X,XO R33 BB C.
Turn 7d, BB X CO B75 BB R4x.
What’s BB’s value range mostly composed of, and what does this mean about his bluffing range?
BB’s value range is mostly 77 and J7s, as he mostly raises 22/33 on the flop.
Since his value range is so narrow, he cannot have a wide (balanced) bluff range. Therefore, hands that are mostly indifferent between raise/call will mostly call, and hands that are indifferent between fold/raise will mostly fold.
CO vs BB SRP,
Jd3h2c flop, BB X,XO R33 BB C.
Turn 7d, BB X CO B75
BB R4x - the following question is about BB’s range
Give examples of hands that are indifferent between raising and calling
at a low frequency of course:
J9,JT,A7
At a higher frequency:
A4s/A5s (with no dd too)
A6dd
CO vs BB SRP,
Jd3h2c flop, BB X,XO R33 BB C.
Turn 7d, BB X CO B75
BB R4x - the following question is about BB’s range
Give examples of hands that are indifferent between raising and folding
Gotshut no dd like
98hh,T9cc, 64hh
CO vs BB SRP,
Jd3h2c flop, BB X,XO R33 BB C.
Turn 7d, BB X CO B75
BB R4x - the following question is about BB’s range:
What are the points of the rare raise with A7s?
- Villian can fold better hands (AJo mixes)
- Villian can call worse hands (A8dd)
- Villian can fold hands that are live against A7s (QThh,KQo)
State the interference theorem, what street is it talking about
River:
When I re-polorize (x/r after condensing my range on previous streets), I will want to bluff with pairs on blank runouts and flush/straight blockers on wetter runouts
CO vs BB SRP,
Jd3h2c flop, BB X,XO R33 BB C.
Turn 7d, BB X CO B75 BB C
River Ks BB X, CO B75 BB R4x (repolorising)
What BB’s bluff raises and how often do i mix them? What would be a bad bluff raise here?
Jx like J8ss would be great bluffs.
Also maybe some 3x.
Bad bluff raises would be
1. Kx dd - too much SDV to bluff
2.A3/A2dd - blocking villian’s bluff range
Since I don’t have a lot of value raises here, the frequency is low (solver raises 50% the time with J8s and 10% of the time with J9s and that’s it)
CO vs BB SRP,
Jd3h2c flop, BB X,XO R33 BB C.
Turn 7d, BB X CO B75 BB C
River Ks BB X, CO B75
Identify bluff catchers which are pure call (=hands that never beat a value but always beat a bluff)
Identify bluffcatchers which are close to 0EV/pure folds.
J9,J8,J7,A7s - all call (sometimes raise)
66,55,44 - are close to 0EV.
TT,99,88- pure fold and clear negative ev (those hands are blocking his turn bluffs).
What’s the RNG pitfall?
Taking an inferior action, because the RNG was very high or very low.
Use RNG only when I’m confident that a hand is a mix, eg think about it BEFORE I ROLL. For example, If I’m not sure a hand is a pure call or a mix, always call until I study that spot more.
What’s HW1?
Take a specific board+configuration and drill it (say, on the flop).
-What were my most common errors?
-What are my EV errors?
-What do I have to be more aware of when I’m in game? What patterns do i want to fix?
