Doing the same thing with a 2xBB open and facing a 7.5xBB BU 3!
Snowie says call {ATs-AQs, 77-JJ}.
Flop A
7
3
, now Snowie wants to bet 1/4 pot with 88-TT a small percentage of the time.
When BU is checked to Snowie bets more often now. 45% of the time. It uses a mixed strategy with AK instead of always checking it now, except AK with BDFD is still checked always.
When UTG faces a bet of 1/2 pot it now defends AQs-ATs, 77 by calling, and raises 77 50% of the time. No bluffs to go with 77 in its raising range.
On the T
turn Snowie now checks it's 77/AT sometimes, and bets the rest of it's range at 1/4 pot. When the BU faces this bet it still recommends raising with a range of only bluffs, 39% of the time now.
When BU calls and the river is the 4
, Snowie now recommends a mixed strategy with all hands except 77 which is always checked. It still leads with the 1/4 pot sizing. Now when Snowie gets shipped on (still all value) it wants to fold 80% of the time (opponent risking 75.25 to win 64 in the scenario I set up)
Snowie thinks BU should call twice with hands like KT instead of turning them into bluffs, despite them not beating anything in UTG's betting range.
Still some wacky stuff...
