[Nl2 Sh] leading with 66

Hi German,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: what's his range ck/calling two streets there as PFR?

Why would you give up on the turn if no 6 hit? And btw the flop stab is fine.

Hi Bogdan,

Emm...I would say a draw like QJcc, or alternatively some good PP like jacks or tens that he doesn't feel like folding even on a king board.

On the turn...I don't know. Maybe I would bet again on a scare card, like a club. I don't think I can bet on a high card, because with betting on a king, if an ace shows up, I can't freaken tell him that I have AK

Or you think, if he checks to us, it's better to bet again to extract value from draws? I don't feel all that comfortable with pocket sixes without a full house On top of this, I think PP are more likely here than draws, at least in my ORC.

His range for ck/calling is usually made up of weak Kx, second pair type hands and some draws. And this range is going for "pot control" with the ck/call line.

Thus it's a range that usually can't call many streets.

It doesn't make sense to put him on a draw mostly and then bet a club as a bluff.

No, it doesn't but if he has a weaker king, then it doesn't make sense to bet on a face card either. That's why I was going to give up I guess.

Would you bet all the way? I think it would be very difficult to bluff him off a king, and even if we manage it, I'm not sure whether it will be +EV in the long run. Some people on NL2 just don't fold kings here.

Exactly

We don't bet there to make him fold a Kx, no way we are getting anyone at 2nl to fold TP on the turn.

We are betting to get him to fold better hands (pairs) and get value from draws

And on top of this, we buy a cheap showdown and prevent him from bluffing us off on the river!

How smart are we! I even started to suspect that our climbing up winnings graph is not a horrible coincidence!
