I am also running a small private 6+ GTO group where we look at multiple solved spots a month via 6+ GTO solver. If you are interested to hear more, feel free to PM me. I will post 1 free solve here once in a while, but in the group we look at 15+ solves and 120minutes of content each month. Let me know if you like these types of solves
In this scenario we will look at a spot where we are 5handed, UTG limps, CO limps and BTN checks at 50a deep. For this flop we pick J96ss.
It’s an interesting flop, because UTG has range advantage due to having overpairs and JJ, but it’s a tricky board due to all the draws out there, and late positions having all the draws possible, while utg doesn’t have 87 for instance. So as utg, we like this flop, but a lot of turns will be tough, as mentioned, if A completes a straight on the turn, we are in a tough spot because we can’t have a straight while our oponents do have all the straights. We can see that our actions as UTG are different than usually. Even tho there are only the blinds and antes in the middle, we are jamming 21% here, which you don’t see often. Our jamming strategy is pretty simple, we are jamming overpairs, because they are not blocking Jx that we dominate and could call us and decent Jx hands, like J10 and better.
This is UTG OJ range on this flop
We would never do it in holdem due to so few chips being in the middle, but as i have said previously, there are no small pots in 6+ holdem, so if we jam here and simply pick up the blinds, we are happy to do it, since it increases our stack by 15%. I think this strategy is fine in real life too, we will get called by weaker hands and this kind of play also saves our brain power, allowing us to play longer sessions and make more money, as opposed to betting here and playing tricky turns and rivers.
If utg checks here, we can see that CO also has an allin range, mainly he wants to jam 69 and j9, due to it being the best hand but hating every turn. again, I think it’s ok to do that, we will get called by weaker hands like overpairs by UTG and Q10 and Jx hands, and again, we can make a EV+ play on the flop and end the hand right here.
below is CO allin jam range in case utg checks
his allin range is only 4% tho, so mainly we will have to bet or check like a normal person. CO is mostly checking because he doesn’t have range advantage here, but we do bet some Jx hands and draws.
below is our betting range as CO (nonAI) if utg checks to us
If both UTG and CO check, BTN, unsurprisinly checks almost all range - 75%, again, that is because as you can see on the side, he has the weakest range here, so we can’t bet much here because we can’t handle the heat vs ch/raises. We are essentially only betting strong draws and strong Jx and better.
This is BTN betting range. In the picture you see NONai bets and on the site under Allin you see which hands we are jamming here are btn
If BTN does decide to bet, UTG is ch/shoving overpairs (if you go for a ch/raise strategy with overpairs instead of jamming on the flop) aswell as QJ+. We can also ch/shove Q10 but as you can see, GTO only ch/shove Q10 with a spade, so remember to use your blocker when jamming here. You can ch/shove more versus players who cbet too much, GTO is checking weak Jx hands on the flop as Btn, because they can’t call a raise, in real life you will see more bets so you can punish them by jamming lighter, even Q10 without a spade is ok to jam vs people who cbet J7 here. Be careful not to jam 810 here, unless it’s 2 spades, since we can be easily dominated by Q10 and flushdraws.
Below you can see which hands we are ch/jamming as utg vs BTN bet
Let’s see what we are supposed to do as BTN on certain turns after betting the flop and getting called by utg. We have to know which turn cards are better for our range that we can barell on. 6x for instance is a good card for BTN since utg doesn’t have any 6x. We can see that we are only checking 15% on this turn as BTN, and we should be betting that much IRL too, utg will fastplay made hands on the flop so his flop ch/call range will be mostly draws.
We can see that on 9h turn GTO bets 95% of the time, and that is knowing that utg ch/calls with 109o and A9o. In real life, the only 9x hands that will call you are 9Xss, so feel free to barell way on this board. On Jh turn we are betting 100% according to gto, which you don’t see often. Again, this is due to UTG having mostly draws. So be agressive on turns that don’t connect with draws and be more careful when turn completes a draw.
