Finally made it to the hand examples and I have a couple of questions on hand #1 pg426.
1: In the CO callers range, is there a reason you're raising 98
for value but flatting 67
on the A
7
5
flop even though 67 has a little more equity than 98? And then on the turn you show that you're folding 67 instead of calling?
2: In the UTG openers range on the turn you show check calling 3 combos of KQ but show check folding those hands on river even though we hit trip K's and villain can have a bluffing range. Is this because if villain is betting a balanced range then we are indifferent to calling and have basically lost the hand anyways so it doesn't matter if we c/c or c/f? Just feels dirty folding a pretty strong hand. Something I would prob never do in game if I got here with that hand.
Just wanting to understand why you're doing certain things with specific hands that I would have done differently so I have less questions moving forward. Thanks
