Now I don't play lowball at all, but I was a little intrigued by this hand. Clearly Jennifer was playing her hand for value before the draw, did she determine at some point that her opponent had a better 9 or a rough 8 and decide to turn her hand into a bluff?

at that point the raise is a bluff that can potentially be called by worse. the more standard play would be call there.

Yeh, seems like she was turning her hand into a bluff.

Yes I was reading the coverage and found this hand interesting.

IMO Harman is overplaying her hand. 98632 should be folded to a 4bet, or at least broken to draw to a better hand. A 4bet before the draw is allways a made 7 or 8.

As played she should've just called after the draw, opponent has shown much strength I don't think he's ever folding to a raise.

thats so level 1 thinking man.

98632 is hard to play here. Post Im almost certain she is bluffing. A better line is probably just to call post, not many better hands fold in this game(if any). Cant see breaking this unless a superstrong read.

So would it be standard for Jen to flat the 4-bet in position with her entire range to disguise? Otherwise I don't see how she can represent a huge hand in this spot.

she wouldnt have to flat her entire range, just a balanced one. definitely a good idea to have some strong hands in your range though.

Raising seems really bad here, but I certainly doubt I know anything that Jen Harman doesn't.

As played, I would just call this post w/o a read. Very little value in a postdraw raise here.

I don't think I could break this to the 4bet/pat though. There is a small chance this could be a hand worse than 98632.

Probably a feel based game flow decision. Her opponent could have been non-traditional or they could have prior history. Irregardless, Jen could have the top of her range as played.

Opponent makes it 20% pot, which is a little weird. Maybe this provoked her raise. Not sure I like her bluff. Doubt opponent is ever snowing here.

Leading out for value and folding is sooooo bad though
That's the thing, I don't see how a raise is ever right. If villain is bluffing no need to push him off it, if he's not then he's probably never folding and we don't want to punt more of our stack than necessary. There must have been a very situation-specific reason for this raise. I think part of Jen's range is wanting to go big or home for sure. Maybe some kind of super thin value move on somebody who's been calling light a lot. Although her comment afterwards sounds like it was a bluff, but how many hands can really fold here when she flats pre-draw?

she's targeting "thin" vbets with better 98's, 97's and 96's. she's repping #10+ and maybe tighter. its not orthodox, and its probably not the GTO hand to use to bluff, but at the same time, GTO isnt so important in a tournament she plays once a year (twice incl. the 1500) which may get over 1k hands with a super deep run.
