Here are the sample hand for last weeks topic about turnplay in position I.
Please have another look at the question if you don't remember them anymore:
Instructional sample hands #22 Turnplay in position I Part #1
Hand 1:
Villain: Aggressive 32, 15, 2.8, 33
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with K♠ K♦
Hero raises, 4 folds, BB calls.
Flop: J♠ T♠ A♠(4.5SB, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.
Turn: J♦ (3.25BB, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.
River: 3♦ (7.25BB, 2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.
Hero raises from UTG and BB defends his blind. The flop is fine even with the A because of the nutflushdraw and the gutshot.
The board pairs on the turn and we still have the pair below the toppair as well as many outs to draw to if we are behind. Do we have an easy bet here?
Let's work trought the questions:
Better hands never fold.
The opponent is not very showdownbound and knows that we are a reasonable player. He will respect our raise from UTG and won't consider a 3-barrel bluff from our side and because of that he will fold worse hands like a T or pocketpairs very often on the river (He might call the turnbet to wait for our riveraction.).
--> We don't have a double value bet which speaks for a check behind as well that he might be commited to call a bet on the river which he would have folded on the turn to a bet.
-> 1:0 ffor a CB (checkbehind).
Our hand is nearly unvunerable so protection is not needed.
We hold the nutflushdraw by ourselves and a gutshot. Addionally the board is paired.
So nearly all hands we are ahead of are drawing dead against us.
Besides that the pot is not very big but even in big pots protection has no value.
Better hands as stated above will never fold.
-> 2:0 for a CB.
Against a check/raise we do have an easy decsion on the TURN because we have so many outs but on the river we have a dificult decisio to make.
The opponent is pretty aggressive so he might be semibluffing us with a draw but nevertheless we are often behind.
We avoid this difficult decision with a chck behind to see the showdown for 1 BB.
-> 3:0 for a CB.
The opponent is not passive so he is able to bluffbet the river with a busted flushdraw if we show weakness on the turn by a check behind.
Addtionally he might make a rying call with a weak hand (like the T) which would have folded the turn.
-> 4:0 for a CB.
As you can see everything is speaking for a check behind.
Hand 2:
Villain: 20, 18, 1.5, 44
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with A♠ K♦
4 folds, SB raises, Hero 3-bets , BB calls.
Flop: 3♣ 6♠ 8♦ (4.5SB, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.
Turn: 6♥ (3.25BB, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.
River: 2♦ (7.25BB, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.
Here our opponent is reasonable but passive and showdownbound.
We never saw him making a move.
We 3-bet his raise from SB with AK and see a flop with lowcards only.
At the turn we have again a decision to make whether to bet or to check behind to see a cheap showdown.
If we ask our questions again we get different results this time:
Better hand will never fold.
The 2nd question is easy to answer. Yes we have a double value bet because this is a SB vs. BB battle and this oppponent has a high went to showdown value as well so we won't fold A-high but would show aggression with a better hand. If we don't get any resistence and if the river is another blank card then we have another valuebet.
-> 1:0 for a bet.
If our opponent has A-high as well the he is drawing to 3 outs so there is no value in protection.
On the other hand he might have any two cards after his flop call with which he often has 6 outs maybe more if he has a straightdraw asloso against us.
In this regard we need to protect our hands especially because the pot is bigger than in hand #1 and worse hands won't fold also.
-> 2:0 for a bet.
Against an aggressive opponent we would have a difficult decision to make if he is check/raising us specially because this is a SB vs. BB battle.
But this opponent is passive and there are only a few draws possible and we haven't seen him making a move yet so we can find an easy fold if this opponent is check/raising us because we are often drawing dead if he does so.
-> 3:0 for a bet.
The opponent is passive and will not bluff the river very often but would valuebet his good hands if we show weakness.
Additionally a check behind would tell him that we want to see a cheap showdown and so bluff induction has no value here.
-> 4:0 for a bet.
In this situation a turnbet is clearly the best line.
Hand 3:
Villain: 22, 17, 2.0, 36
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BU with 7♠ 8♠
3 folds, Hero raises, 3 folds, BB calls.
Flop: 3♣ 6♠ 2♦ (4.5SB, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.
Turn: A♥ (3.25BB, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB folds.
Here we open from the BU and the BB defends his blind. Our flopbet gets called and the turn is an ace.
In this pot we have a huge amout of fold equity against better hands.
BB will call the flop with many T-K-high hands to draw. All these hands are better than 8-high and he needs to fold many of them on the turn to the ace.
Because of that we have only because of this fact a clean bet on the turn and the other factors can be ignored.
