BBvBU minraise defense

How would you start widening ur ranges/playing postflop?

I'm used to playing ppl who steal 30-40% on BU so I can defend top 15-20%, but I have a really hard time playing weak hands OOP against wide ranges.

Like we c/c Q7s, on a A36r can we really do anything vs anyone who isnt completely retarded/scared money?

lol I meant we call pre. On flop we are fucked, guess folding is easy, we only need 25% equity after all, so we fold bottom of our range?

Folding 80% is ok against tight opening ranges. Like if opp is raising KK-AA we can fold everything but aces comfortably. I don't fold that much, but I don't defend 50% or more against anyone I think (which is a mistake against someone opening any2 right?)

Got another interesting question. How much does defense ratio changes from bb/sb? more important, how do you come up with an answer? .s

What range would you 3bet and what flat guys?

any idea what sort of loss rate we should be aiming for in the BB/SB?

this took me a while to figure out.

given we are getting pretty good price on the call pre, you dont have to play back on every flop and can x/fold decent amount.

what works for me:

figure out how much equity I want to play back - e.g. at least 2overs to a 2nd pair and 2 decent backdoor draws, or a GS to the nuts, ..

than find out whats the best way to play the hand - donk, x/call, x/raise ..

just experiment with it and find out what fits you best. for example i like to bluff lead low wet flops vs regs with good 2 overcards - like KhQs on 862ss - might be dumb move in theory but works for me, I get suprisingly lot of folds.

very good post

hmm 50-70% minraising? you should be defending around 50%-60% imo if you think you have a slight edge or equal in postflop.


vs100% minopeners most regs defend 75%+, some defend close to 100% oop, they like 3 to 1 odds

Stop copying post #4. Capiche

would you adjust your range for a full ring game?

On March 31 2013 21:08 GameOverNoob wrote: would you adjust your range for a full ring game?

I think there's minimal difference, just blockers issue - BU's range bit stronger due to more ppl folded before him in FR than 6max

The advice locoo gave was enlightening. I think that one thought will make me a ton of money. You're wonderful brotha.

Keep it coming

prob would counter locoo's post by saying you need to think about what c/r flop this wide does to your ranges on turns; do some work in CREV or something and try and find some ranges to think about c/c flop c/r turn with esp when villains are cognisant enough to realise ur defending BB so wide.
