Hi,

what I am interested in are the ranges on a K :diamond: J :club: T :club: 6 :diamond: turn in a blind vs blind situation. Both players try to play GTO, the blind structure is 1/2.

BB openraised, the SB did not 3bet preflop, and called the flop c-bet.

My questions are :

- SB-s turn c-bet, x/c, x/f range (x/r if there is any ? )
- BB-s bet and x range.

I assume that SB has a 3bet range preflop, but I'd like to see a solution for the case when the BB is a player who flats 100% vs an SB openraise as well.

Thanks in advance.

The SB does not necessarily have a 3bet range preflop as nowadays people are tempted to not give away as much information early in the hand so they keep their hand balanced and don't 3bet. this tendency is capable to be exploited by incorporating checkbehinds that SB is losing 1SB on the flop he'd otherwise gotten by 3betting preflop. But yeah, in a BVB-Situation BB usually does have a 3betting range.

Me being SB and having openraised Preflop, i'd contibet Kx Jx on the Turn. Your continuationbetting-Range should consist of primarily good pairs and good Draws. I'd check/call a hand like 99 or Ax with Flushdraw or T9 QT and those kind of hands that have showdownvalue and outs but cannot confidently bet twice for value and since i'd check some craphands like 78 and c/f most likely A2 A3 no draw , i have to have some pairs in my c/c range. A hand that is suitable for checkraising is a hand like KQ AK. A strong 1pair hand but if the hand becomes too strong. lets say AQ or KK, you'll be better off by bet/3betting the Turn. To balance your bets with strong madehands, you should keep draws like Q8 Q7 and Flushdraws or 98 in your range since there's a decent chance that you'll get him off some Qx or Ax by the River.

Since my gameplan is based on frequently just calling the Flop with almost my entire range, you can easily define the IP players callingrange on the Flop. Any pair, Qx, Ax, FLushdraws etc.

I hope i helped you somewhat but especially on lowstakes, you should not try to focus too much on GTO but rather you'd focus on your opponents leaks that won't probably change if you gonna adjust your game.

Hi firsttsunami,

thanks for the answer. Could you please post the exact ranges ? (both SB and BB)
I think you might be overfolding the turn if you fold A2/A3 there is a lot of trash in your range.

Also the interesting point is that peeling with these could be still -EV. It pretty much depends on how your ranges look exactly.

As to GTO vs maxEV poker, I do play exploitative poker,but I cant play it without having a grasp about GTO. So I think GTO is unavoidable if you take poker seriously.

Youre right that you supposed to have a grasp about GTO and range distributions etc. I'll setup a range later and you are probably right that folding A2 A3 might be a mistake against someone who bets Qx and a bunch of draws a lot.
