how is trips a hero call?

Q6 you mean he slowplays his flushdraws ott?

i think his sizing is bad also, hero equity is a cool word but im pretty sure a 200nl reg is capable of taking note and merging in this spot next time.

I'll give it a shot, but it is at a higher level than I am even really used to thinking at, so might be a bit wrong.
It basically all depends on the concept of hero call equity. The future benefit you reap from making seemingly spewy calls can outweigh the fact that a call might be slightly -EV. With 77 here the hero call equity is huge, as villain will view it as a bad hand to bluffcatch with.
However, hero has to bluffcatch with something, and while KQ might appear better because it blocks villains value hands, 77 is actually better when we take into account the effect of hero call equity.
It is up to debate, but in my opinion in this spot hero call equity> than blocker effect, making it a optimal to place 77 in your bluffcatching range rather than KQ.

im assuming working out hero call equity is the same as working out float equity?

so 77-99 would now be in his bluff-catching range so wheres KQ now?

The beauty of herocall ranges are mostly in the simplicity of them. In this case, 77 slots neatly in KQ's place, so we can comfortably c/f KQ now.
That's my interpretation of it though, burrns probably understands it slightly better than me, and if you want a really high level explanation you are better asking someone like z0mg or LorenzoV.

HU4HOEs, who is staked and coached by z0mg was the one who taught me most about it so hopefully he'll give his thoughts. He has heard it directly from a high stakes crusher so probably the most qualified in the thread to talk about it :P

staked and coached by z0mg, its like his already won before he even plays..

thanks nyways, need to find myself a skype buddy who can explain this stuff indepth to me which is impossible to find.

Yo who likes jamming here as a bluff ?

Oh lol just realised plastic is Q6.

Don't get the "only 4 jacks left in the deck" part?
Also, if he's raising air ott here he will also be raising with the nuts for balance tho?
And, without being results oriented, isn't it far more likely that he raises turn with a hand that has some equity like XXss or maybe even KQ than just pure air?

ssnl/ msnl guys which video instructors from card runners do you recommend? Looking to learn how to hand rand better than a fish.

^ Just came across one of verneer's vids on CR, was actually quite decent on NL10. Normal cash though not zoom

I am ashamed of myself, playing last night while I was out of my mind on the drink. Brag: Won 10 buyins. Dont try this at home kids!

What is this CZ you guys are talking about?

When i was drunk i hoped on a dating sate like a horny old fart. If i hit the rooms it wouldn't be a good sight.

cheers for taking the time to write it out . Just one thing I don't get: how does you holding club reduce the likelyhood of him having Jc?

Yeah I was racking my brains over that too. What CZ? Czech Republicans?

The mythical hero call equity. Wp

plasticelephant is good at maths, don't doubt him imo

lolllll this thread is trolling hard

CZ is something that can't be expanded upon, its mystery is its power

hmmm prolly shouldnt talk strat while half asleep or itt for that matter..

wp Q6

Biggest pot to date at 5NL for me I think. Sizing fine? Much bigger flop and turn?
