Vill is a somehow laggy in position and cbets 100%. He is winning player, so lets asume he is able to think.

What is the standard for playing draw in situation like below and this eff. stacks?

    Does he cbet this sizing as standard? How many hands on him at 100% cbet? What's his PFR/perceived range? What's his barrel frequency on the turn?

    His bet looks pretty committing, and we can be dominated really hard by flush draws, and raise-folding really sucks. I would call here readless besides what you said, but if 150 is his standard cbet sizing, this is a good spot to try steal it, especially if he doesn't stack off really light (or just calls the times he doesn't fold).

    If he checks the turn a lot, and gives up on rivers with air, and not supremely keen on making hero calls if it bricks off and he has A high or some very weak pair, it's just much better. The times he has a hand, you have implied odds, too, and obviously stacking off is -EV.

    The only reason you want to c/r here is if he would fold a hand to a c/r that would not fold if you c/c, and also at times letting him turn enough SDV to call you down when he would fold to a c/r. I suppose if he cbets his 22-77 and folds to a c/r with those, then he might call a river stab if you just c/c and it bricks off, but that is the cost for not having to putt in 1/4 of your stack or whatever with an OESD.

    He has put two brutal beats on me in two previous games.
    One in a 3bet pot where I had AA on k-6-7-9 board and called his jam. He had k5 and rivered the 5.
    He probably thinks I'm tilted. And maybe I am. I just quit for the night.
    He fights for every pot, and is almost a drooler.
    I really wanted to call here.
    I can definitely see him doing this with a J.
    But mostly I'm flipping with an ace here.
    Is the fact that he sometimes does this with a jack make it enough to call?

        Hey, I play $20 heads up sng's 5 at a time. I'm just wondering what the pros play. Are there players who regularly play 7+?

        I jumped from 4 to 5 at a time this year and haven't noticed any drop in win rate, I'm just curious if anyone here has success with a high volume of HUSNGs at a time.

        hey bugaz, I watched a vid by PrimordialAA which talked about it briefly. He said the Go'n'Go is normally only useful vs stations who don't respect your 3bets. because you are betting 1/3 of your stack preflop, you should be prepared to call a shove etc. seems to be most useful at midlevel stages eg 25/50

        play around with pokerstove vs villains expected 3betcallrange/reshove range pre, and make sure you have at least 40% equity+ or - based on his folding frequency to your leadshove on flop. your not gonna check folding flop very often if your doing this. ( I would expect <15%). Only time your gonna want to fold is if fold totally hits villains 3BC range and you have little equity vs it.

        as long as you polarise your Go&Go range toward Ax type hands , eg A 9, your normally gonna do pretty well out of it.

        Basically it's a draw heavy board, can have plenty of straight/flush draws on it, where lots of hands could have a piece of it, something along the lines of this;

        Flop: 6 8 7

        Turn: 9

        I prefer betting 200 on turn, but thats just an idiosyncrasy of mine.

        villain's line is so passive, unless hes a drooling station and you have seen him calling barrels /w weird hands like Ace high or something, what sort of hands do you think you will see?

        To me, the more passive villain gets in a big pot ( esp when we barrel), the more likely he is on the draw to, or already has a nut type hand. If hes folded to barrels previously, we are a lot more certain that the board has hit for him. the question is what is it?

        Before reads, assuming he will always raise AA,KK and QQ pre, I expect him to have:

        99-TT 16 combos possible
        Kx - 11 combos if we excluse KA and KK. KQ is still included, because he may still elect to just call
        QJ - 16 combos
        11/43 combos contain a K, or around 26% Ish. (cba with calc) that is a considerable amount of his range, so I guess you should make some adjustments. not quite sure what though

        Kx is obv the least likely of the bunch, but take this all with a large amount of salt, as i'm a beginner also.
