Bluffing the bubble with the nut blocker
We just have Ace High but we know our opponent cannot have the nuts - what do we do?
Our friends at the Unibet sponsored Chip Race Podcast are back with another in-depth strategy video. Dara and David are joined by their friend, online MTT beast Marty Mathis, to review a critical spot near the final table in the Venom, which he chopped for $1.3 million.
In this hand we get to the review with just Ace High, but crucially we block both the nut straight and the nut flush. The solvers say this is a great time to bluff, but can we do it under extreme ICM pressure?
Dara hits the solvers to discuss why small bet sizings are so powerful when we have a massive range advantage like our opponent does. The guys also discuss why solvers like small and frequent bet sizes when we cover our opponent in tough ICM spots.
There is also a discussion on the merits of calling with Ace High both as a backdoor flush draw and also because we potentially have a profitable bluff - which is just what happens in this hand.
Finally, on the river, we weigh up whether to go for a small blocker type bluff or whether we can get really dicey and go for a check/raise bluff, knowing our opponent has to fold so many hands.
