These UB regs suck and are making me believe retarded things

well its rather close, but i dont see any problem with saying fuck it and calling with a hand as strong as A6 which is the nut trips and also has a blocker to some mosters because really we should be calling down with our non nut hands sometimes game theory wise and i think a good randomizer for that is to just call with the top of our difficult decision range.

I kinda like checking the turn..dont explode yet though ;O Checking turn hinges on him not balancing his 6x and raising with it on flop while calling draws / PP / 9x. Turn - his range is weak , if you bet your range is too strong for him, + you are somewhat afraid of just 78 / 99 / TT which isnt much but its really the only hands he C/R on turn assuming he raises 6x on flop. So lets say we check turn , now we just look like a c-bet ---> given up and he will either bluffcatch or bet river with like everything.

This is a good analysis but valid only if a)his range is always weak on flop and b)he cannot call 3 streets with that range. Since we cannot always satisfy those 2 parameters especially if he sucks I don't think we should check turn. It's also worth noting that if he is floating the flop some of those include 10-8/10-7 gutters which will call 3 streets likely, but if he is floating a hi he may or may not fire river as a bluff.

Fair, Guess its just how you look at this player & his range. I missed the gutshots / A-hi , Think if you put those in his range then you definitely bet turn.

Also if he is floating so much that we are actually losing a ton of value by betting turn and not letting him bluff river then there is a huge huge range that we can bluffcatch with on the river that doesn't need to include a6

If checking turn im raising most rivers if he happens to bet, most of the time he will just C/C because our line makes no sense

Raise/call or raise fold? Instead of taking such a weird line where if u get shoved on on the river u have no idea what to do I'd rather bet 3 times

yeah thats why betting 3 times is standard ;P If you check turn there i would bet / fold and be happy about it( What is he really B3B on River? I would put his B3B River Range on like 99 , 6T , Missed Gutshot about 1 in 75 times [from description] )

The whole idea isnt to make your decision easier but rather to extract more value because his turn range seems very polarized [hands that cant call / hands that beat you ]. All Hinges on what he does with 6x
