Hi guys / Matt,
I'm reading the book at the moment and really like it. Trying to make some range constructions, so maybe you can help me out here and give me some feedback on my thought process. I would like to analyze this hand:
IPoker No-Limit Hold'em, 0.20 BB (6 handed) - IPoker Converter Tool from
http://flopturnriver.com/
Hero (BB) (17.50)
UTG (44.91)
MP (18.11)
CO (14.48)
Button (10.97)
SB (63.57)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 8
, 9
4 folds,
SB raises 0.50, Hero calls 0.40
Flop: (1.20) 10
, Q
, 5
(2 players)
SB bets 0.84, Hero....
He cbets 0,7PSB, so I should defend 1-(0,84/(0,84+1,2)) = 59%.
If I use the coldcall range in the SB that the book describes, I have a 45,4% range, which consists of 602 combo's, but on this flop only 534 because of card removal. The hands in my range:
Sets: TT, 55 (6 combo's)
Two pair: QTs, Q5s, T5s, QTo (13)
Top pair: QJs, Q9s, Q8s, Q7s, Q6s, Q4s, Q3s, Q2s (24)
Top pair: QJo, Q9o, Q8o (27)
2nd pair: ATs, KTs, JTs, T9s, T8s, T7s, T6s. (21)
2nd pair: ATo, KTo, JTo, T9o, T8o. (45)
Between 2nd/3rd pair: 99-66 (24)
Bottom pair: 5xs, A5o (27)
Bottom pair + FD: 5xss (9)
OESD+SFD: KJss, J9ss (2)
OESD + overcard: KJs, KJo (15)
OESD: J9s, J9o (15)
FD+gs: J8ss, 98ss, K9ss (3)
NutFD+overcard: Axss, Kxss (16)
Naked FD: 43ss, 64ss, 74ss, 76ss, 86ss, 87ss, 96ss, 97ss, J4ss, J6ss, J7ss (11)
Total of 255 combo's.
If I valueraise 17 combo's (TT, 55, KJss, J9ss, AJss, TQs, QTo), I can raise about twice this amount of bluffs on the flop. Some hands I picked from the remainder of my range, to bluf with: As9x, As8x, Ks9x, J8dd, J8hh, J8cc, (8cc, 97cc, 87cc, 76cc, J7cc, A9cc (20 combo's).
If I defend all hands above, I still only defend 52% instead of the required 59%.
If I defend all these hand on the flop I have to call a lot of weak pairs (5x with no backdoors) as well. Which other hands should I raise on the flop as a bluff? Or should I widen my value raising range?
Any feedback on calc+thought process is much appreciated.
