weird, does he always bet turn 1/4, even on such dynamic boards?

its a very strange play to me, any ace high and gutshot or pair can play perfectly against it.

seems like a good way to play his entire range to get to river, but yeah he can't expect any folds on turn at all

i'll be really suprised if solvers advocate this...but i have been suprised many times by solvers. Im doing a rough sim for it, i would have thought anything between 50% and 100%+ pot size would be what a solver does.

solver likes a pot size bet. i put 25, 50, 88 bet sizes in and it overwhelmingly likes 88% pot size with KK. the ev difference between 1/3 and pot is virtally nothing...but that is almost always the case. It definitely seem like an exploit linus is going for here.

the ev difference between 1/3 and pot is virtually nothing, yet it overwhelmingly likes 88% over 25%? does not compute... if the ev difference is so small then what does it mean for the solver to overwhelmingly prefer one size over the others?

if you win more money with a decision, even if its a small amount, your always going to do it. The reason EV differences are often really small, i think, is because it's doing it at the perfect frequency. the ev difference with checking is extremely small too. That's because all the frequencies are at equilibrium, but if you bet 1/4 here 90% of the time and pot it 10% of the time, the frequencies are far from equalibrium, and ev differences would become far different. So it's picking the the most balanced, mixed strategy where the ev changes very little no matter what you do.
