by OnkelHotte

Introduction

In this article
  • Your opponent will bet in 2 of 3 cases
  • You can call with 27%+ equity
  • You can call with 22%+ equity after a 3-bet before the flop

In the 'Heads up on the Flop OOP: C/C Flop Without Initiative - With Showdown Value' article, you learned when and why to play check/call on the flop with a marginal hands when you don't have initiative.

One of the central points in this article is: You can generally continue playing with the intention of seeing the showdown with app. 37% equity on the flop after defending your blind with A high. You then play C/C on the flop.

Of course, this doesn't mean you should just switch to a rigid calldown mode when you have 37% equity on the flop. You have to pay attention to the development of the board. Depending on the turn card, a hand that looked like a profitable calldown on the flop may not be playable on the turn any more.

We will now take a detailed look at the rules you should follow when playing your hand under these conditions and how to correctly use the additional information gained on the turn.
