For 2NL
I have been calling river bets at 2NL with two pair, TPTK bottom sets etc too much and think now that it might be a leak at 2NL to call those.
So what I will do for 25.000 hands is:
Fold to all river bets when the bet is more than 1/3th of the pot (also when I am so called 'pot committed') when I do not have the 'almost' nuts.
My definition of the almost nuts:
When flush: The second best flush is the almost nuts.
When straight: 48 on a 567xx board is the almost nuts
When set 66 on a 26Txx board is the almost nuts (but on a 567xx board it is not).
The lowest boat possible is 'per definition' the almost nuts
I will fold all my flushes and straights to all paired boards (because it is NOT the almost nuts).
I will fold all my trips (because it is NOT the almost nuts).
I will fold all my bottom sets.
I am not saying I will not bet these hands! I will bet (check) /fold.
Exception 1:
Pot + bet below 10BB. I'm allowed to catch small bluffs.
Exception 2:
Sometimes your hand is not strong enough to go all in but too strong not to bet the turn. In this case I am allowed to check the turn to induce a bluff and call that bluff on the river. Example in spoiler
Spoiler
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♠ Q♠ (villain was 8/8/15 but small sample)
Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, fold, fold, BB raises to 10 BB, Hero calls 7 BB
Flop: (20.5 BB, 2 players) 2♦ 6♣ Q♥
BB bets 14.5 BB, Hero calls 14.5 BB
Turn: (49.5 BB, 2 players) 5♦
BB checks, Hero checks
River: (49.5 BB, 2 players) J♠
BB bets 34.5 BB, Hero calls 34.5 BB
I will post my graph and I will post the hands I folded.
At the end I'm interested if my total graph goes up/down/stays same
Maybe it is a bit of a small sample but at 25K I will evaluate.
Constructive criticism is more than welcome.
edit: I changed 1/4th of the pot to 1/3th of the pot , the 1/4th was too nitty.
edit: 25 feb 2018 Added the 'calling delayed turnbet' rule.
