Two players see a flop of 5-5-5 in no-limit hold'em. Single raise, call. Stack sizes are typical.

Let's say the Primary Value Range for the aggressor is 99+. But his opponent is not a regular he has history with, so the hero builds his range from scratch to cover as many foreseeable scenarios as possible.

Typically when the hero adjusts, he builds his value range using the following pattern:

Value = 1. AA | 2. KK | 3. QQ | ...(n=6) 99|

Bluffs = 1. ATs | 2. AJs | 3. AKo |... (n=?) 2-3 offsuit |


Depending on game flow is how far the range is extended.

Now, let's say his opponent is tricky, so he uses the following construct -


(vs player X)



Value - 1. AA | 2. 99 | 3. TT |... (n=6) KK |

Bluffs - 1. AKs | 2. AQs/AK | 3. AJs ...| (n=?) 2-3 offsuit |




Whether the adjustment was correct in game is not material.

What do you think about the adjustments in comparison to the established strategy?

First of all I don't see a single bluffing hand in the whole post, including the part where it says "bluffs".

bluffs are non-pair holdings. anything not listed is in the preflop raiser's checking range.

You're going to have to reformat entire OP for me to understand what's going on.

You can use the term bluff for non-pair holdings but it doesn't make it true.

preflop was raise and call. bbs don't matter but they're plenty deep. hero is first to act postflop.

5-5-5 rainbow

99+ is the Primary Value Range for hero to bet. rest should be pretty clear now.

You can't do this. UTG vs CO flat is going to be very different than BTN vs BB flat for obvious reasons.

Your post is strange, confusing, and unhelpful on multiple levels. Also, AK isn't a bluff on 555. As someone pointed out, calling "non-pair holdings" bluffs doesn't make it true.
