Say you open for $12 UTG with 88 & only get 1 caller - The Button.
So the pot is $27 - $3 rake = $24
V is type of player to call with a 26.8% range OTB.
So what happens when you flop an over-pair?
You'll flop an over-pair 10.5%; using Flopzilla look at various flops where you flop an over-pair HU vs this range & then determine what type of players call light or need something more tangible otf.
For instance, the flop comes 7
6
3
& you have 8
8
You bet $20 and this type V [that we're analyzing] will only call with something more tangible than just 2 over-cards. Flopzilla has him continuing 32.8% of the time. However, if he'll call with 2 over-cards, he will see the Turn 92.9% of the time.
Change your suits to
&
& now V calls 34.6% of the time, but now it's 93.5% of the time with 2 overs. Why? because you're 8s of the other suits means he has more
flush draws available. That's a lot of combos when he called pre with 78s, 86s, T8s, J8s, etc., all the up to A8s.
Using Flopzilla, you can spend endless hours playing out various scenarios with various hands. You can use PokerCruncher for multi-way. It's more cumbersome, but at least you can narrow down hands V will call with. Such as 98s, you can choose which suited hands he'll call with based upon the suits on the flop when he doesn't flop a str8 draw.
The possibilities are endless, which is why they say you should spend hours of study at home every week building your
knowledge bank.
With just that one flop, you can look at how often you get called vs various types of players. It's why I hate playing OOP [UTG/UTG+1 etc], but will do so with PPs that are BBJ eligible, because I still wish upon a star.......
