Homework week 5:
Question 1: Post a hand for evaluation where you have based your decisions on the stats of your opponents.
K9s profitable 5b?
Question 2: Evaluate one of the hands submitted by other members.
NL10 SH Zoom AQ 3bet pot
Question 3: Consider the following situation:
$10 NL Hold'em (7-handed)
Stacks & Stats:
UTG ($10)
MP ($8)
MP2 ($9)
CO ($10)
Hero($10)
SB ($10) (17/13/2.6/24/1212) [VPIP/PFR/AF/WTS/Hands]
BB ($10) (27/9/2.0/29/333) [VPIP/PFR/AF/WTS/Hands]
Preflop: Hero is BU with 6Diamond , 7Diamond
4 folds, Hero raises to $0.40, SB calls $0.40, BB calls $0.40
Flop: ($1.20) 3Diamond , 3Heart , TDiamond (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks
Turn: ($1.20) JDiamond (3 players)
SB bets $1.00, BB calls $1.00, Hero...
What action would you take, and why?
Raise to $4, the only hands that beat us are 33, TT and JJ and a higher flush. At least JJ would have been 3bet preflop some of the time by either player. So we think we are ahead here and want to raise for value.
We also want to protect our hand since we only have a small flush and charge draws to a higher flush. We want to make it enough so they can't draw profitably.
If we make it $4 they need to call $3 to win $6,20, which is about 2:1 or 33%. They have 7 outs on the river (as we hold 2 of the flushcards) which is about 15%. So they won't have a profitable call.
If they hit we won't call another bet and they won't have any implied odds.
Question 4: Consider the following situation:
$10 NL Hold'em (8-handed)
Stacks & Stats
UTG ($8)
MP ($10)
MP2 ($9)
MP3 ($6)
Hero ($10)
BU ($10) (25/21/3.8/26/1250) [VPIP/PFR/AF/WTS/Hands]
SB ($10)
BB ($10)
Preflop: Hero is CO with JHeart , JSpade
4 folds, Hero raises to $0.40, BU 3-bets to $1.30, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.30
Flop: ($2.75) 6Heart , 9Spade , TClub (2 players)
Hero...
What action would you take, and why?
I would actually 4b/call here most of the timeCO vs BTN against an aggressive opponent. (But I would ofcource use 3b/4b/5b stats for this as well)
As played I would check/call here. With a check-raise you are overrepresenting your hand and can expect to only get called by stronger hands. And a check/fold here is just too weak with an overpair.
About the turnplay:
I would c/c here when comes a 7,8, T or Q for additional outs, c/r when comes a J and C/F when comes a K,A,T or blank
Note:
A line you could take against a passive opponent is to donk here, they will call their medium strength hands and raise their strong hands and fold their missed hands. Their range will be pretty face up. But in this case our opponent has an AF of 3.8 and we don't want to bet/fold our overpair here.
