Is BB shove too loose? Can D call with oesd? What if it were gutshot 8654?

In Hand 1 think the SB has to fold. Either small favorite or drawing dead.

Hand 2 I don't have a strong opinion either way if this is a call or 3bet. Call seems fine though. Think has to lead though vs two card, as you should be bluffing often. Lead around the size of the pot imo to make it look bluffy and I think it's a cooler.

Hand 3 I think the BB needs to lead. Given that he checked I think the D definitely needs to bet in a 2/2 situation. In fact I think it's a bet in a 1/1 situation. Anyone think that is too thin in 1/1?

If D is x/r it is highly player dependent, but w/o a read the default appears to be a fold.

Thanks for your replies, Scotch.

Hand 1: the 4bet shove should be mostly pat hands, with maybe some super smooth draws. How wide can the bb shove there, anyways? The sb's JT9 doesn't beats nearly no pat hands and doesn't draw to that much better of a hand. What is the worst hand the sb can call and break? JT543? J9864?

I don't think I lead enough in this game since I'm so used to the standard NLHE check to the aggresor. When I play HU vs my uncle, he pushes me around with OoP leads, although he seems to be pretty exploitable with his leads.

No problem, these are just my opinions and while I did write the article I do not profess to be a lowball expert

Anyway, onto the hand. Since it is a winner take all you can treat all of decisions like a cash game so there are no ICM considerations

Don't know the question to your answer off hand but as a start I think we should simplify and assume that the BB has a jack or better.

First step is to calculate the pot odds. Then use my chart to determine the probability that he has certain hands. Calc the equity of drawing against those pat hands. Then take a weighted average equity. I may not be explaining well perhaps I can demonstrate later.

Seems like it is more important to lead as there are only two streets and players tend to check behind with mediocre hands. Certainly I do not think it should be as much of a default as it is in NLHE. One exception would be is if your opponent basically bets every time when he misses
