This isn't the flop. Turn XR's are way more polarized.

I understand you know there are a ton of equity changing rivers and you want to push equity but the SPR is too high for that.

Funny thing happened where I ran into an almost identical spot last night:

I defend 78

in the bb vs. LJ open. 100 bb effective.

Flop: 7

- 9

- 3

(4.5 bb-ish)

X, V bets 75%, I call

8

(12.5 bb)

X, V bets 75%, call (I wanted to x/r again, like I did in above HH)

Q

(30-ish bb)

X, x

I’m kinda surprised nobody finds this spot interesting.

I think it is because turn is a clear x/c spot.

Flop might be a low frequency XR vs 85% sizing. But we are in the middle of our range OTT - we XR polar OTT so it's a clear x/c.

Also you would XR bigger.

Imagine what Linus would beat 50z for if I can beat it for 4-6 bb/100 and think this is an interesting spot...
