Preflop. NIT 14/12 CO opens 2.5bb and we are on the BTN with KK. Effective stack is 122bb. Opponent fold to 3bet 29%. We dont know his 4bet range. We 3bet here for straight value. Sizing could be bigger as stacks are deeper. Flop. 86Qr. CO checks and we make thin value bet 1/2 pot. Sizing I think OK as it is 3bet pot and we are in position. And its not draw heavy board. His callin range I imagine like all sets. 88, 66, QQ. Pairs like 99+JJ. AQ+, KQ. QJs. So we are ahead this range. Turn. Kd. Which can bring flush draw. Opponent could make two pair also. And we have nuts. So we make a bet for straight value 1/2 pot and get check/raised. In this spot we must reraise and go all-in. As hero did. As opponent is NIT, so we put him on value range which we are beating. Lower sets, two pairs. Also he could play flush draw like this, but its little combos. And by calling his check/raise on the turn we could give him to see river card (if he is on flush draw). Also if we call and diamond comes on the river it could kill the action! Also we have a rule. If we are betting for straight value and get raised, so we have to reraise! Well played HERO.

Preflop. Hero is on BTN with KdKc. Fish is opening UTG 3bb (r1st 33% and fold to 3bet 11% OOP) and get called by regular player on CO. CO 3bet is 4%, so its JJ+, AKo+. His call open is 8%. So his calling range I imagine like, 22+TT, 98s+KQs. as he is calling against fish. Strong hands he would 3bet preflop for value. HERO decides to squeeze on the BTN. We are squeezing here for straight value against both players as fish is opening wide and calling 3bet very wide and regular player mostly has weak range in this spot, unless he is thinking that someone can squeeze after his call against the fish.. so also he could slow play hand like AA, but its rare in micro limits I think. So HERO squeezes 14bb, which is quite good sizing, but I would prefer bigger size against FISH who is calling 3bets OOP very wide! Flop. 495r. Both players checks. We have a reason to make a bet as thin value. Hero cbets 2/3 pot, fish folds and regular player on CO calls. His range looks like some made hands like pair of nines, which he could make with hands 9Ts, 98s. Lower connectors like 45s or 56s he wouldnt call preflop I think. Also he could have all sets here. Underpairs like 66+88, TT. Turn. Td. this card is good for opponents range as it could bring one more set to TT, it could give two pair for T9, it could bring flush draw for hand 98d. So we dont have thin value bet on this card, as there are verry little worse hand than ours which he could call on the turn. We are in position and we can make thin value bet on the river if it comes 4 or 5 for example which makes two pair for us. So CO checks and we check. River. 9s. Opponents goes all-in. His agrression by stats is not high. WWSF 42, WSSD 54. So he is not bluffy. There is verry little bluffs he could have here which we can beat. there are a lot of full houses, trips in his range and we dont have equity to make this call. FOLD on the river.

Preflop. Regular (on the tight side) player opens 14% in MP. Hero is in BB with AdQs. We dont have bluff 3bet, because opponent is opening tight range and folds to 3bet 53%. So if he calls, we are behind his range with AQo. So we make the call. His opening range looks like this: http://s10.postimg.org/jx5l6cb21/Screen_shot_2016_02_23_at_4_30_38_PM.png Flop. J5d9s. On this board we dont have thin value bet nor semi bluff, so we check. Opponent cbet IP is 56% on the flop and 39% on the turn. So on the turn he plays by his cards mostly. We have good backdoors on this flop. Opponent cbets 2/3 and we have have good pot odds to make the call. Hero check/raises as semi bluff which I think is not so bad play. Opponent can fold hands like our and better like AK. Opponent calls raise. His range by calling raise looks like this: http://s11.postimg.org/adukeb0o3/Screen_shot_2016_02_23_at_4_59_29_PM.png Turn. 7c. this card doesnt give us flush draws or straight draws on which we could continue to play. Our equity against his range is very low. And folding equity is low on such card. So we play check/fold.

Preflop. Hero open raises from CO with J9s for thin value and get called by BTN. Sizing is good. Flop. 8c6s5c. As Hero said opponent doesnt raise so often. We are looking for reason to bet. We can make semi bluff as we can maximize our equity by opponents folding equity. As he can fold hands better than ours such as broadways.Also we have flush draw. So we make semi bluff and get raised. As we made semi bluff and opponent doesnt raise much, so we shoould fold here! His range is strong against us. He has all sets, straights, overpairs, flush draws better than ours. Also if we call and and get straight or flush, so opponent is not likely to pay for it. Implied oods are not so good as draw is very obvious. Also opponent can make better flush. So our outs for flush draw is not clear. Being said that HERO should fold here on the flop. We will be out of position and without iniative on the turn!. Hero called Turn. 9d. We are in tough spot now. We got pair with flush draw. Opponent bets half pot. Against opponent continouing range our equity is low and we should fold here. He can bet like this sets, straights, two pairs, flush draws. River. FOLD.

Preflop. Hero is on SB with AdQs. Regular 23/19 player opens in MP. His opening range is 14%. Its quite tight. Fold to 3bet 17(6). Of course its better to have stats like fold to 3bets by positions. Ok, lets look if we have bet preflop. As player is quite tight in MP and fold to 3bet is low, so we can not make 3bet bluff against him. So first mistake HERO makes is by 3beting and turning his hand into a bluff. On the other hand AQo is too strong hand to bluff and to fold. So its CALL preflop. Also HEROs sizing is 9bb. We should make 10-11bb out of position. Flop. Qh7hJc. We dont have stats for folding to cbets in 3bet pots. We have fold to cbet ip raised pots 56%. On this flop we can make thin value bet, as we have gutshot + TPTK. Opponent hits this borad quite well. But also he has underpairs, pairs, OESD, flush draws. So we make thin value bet and get raised. Opponent doesnt seem to be aggressive, so we should fold to his raise, because he has strong hands like sets, two pairs, nut flush draws. Against his raising range we are in bad shape. So as HERO played it should be FOLD to a raise. Turn. 9h. Its closes OESD, flush draws. And HERO checks/fold, which is correct i think. Opponent is not agressive very aggressive. His WWSF is 45. WSSD 62. So his push on the turn is likely value range. And we have very low equity against this range. So its check/fold.

Preflop. Hero is opening from UTG for straight value with AA. Sizing is good 3bb. Get called by loose regular on the button. Opponents range is quite wide. A lot of broadway cards, underpairs bellow top pair, suited connectors. Flop. Against his wide range we have thin value bet on the flop. If we get raised, we can call, because opponents raise cbet in position is quite high. So on the flop we can thin value bet Kx, pocket pairs bellow K, gutshots with backdoor flush draw. Also we can not idscount 9x in his range. So we make thin value bet on the flop and get called. Sizing 2/3 is good. Turn. 5h is blank on the turn. But it could bring flush draw to opponents gut shots. As we can see his fold to cbets are low, so he can call quite wide range again on the turn. There is thin value bet on the turn 2/3 pot. If we get raised here, so we can make the call and check fold on the river. But he makes the call and we go to the river. River. 5c. Its again blank card. In opponents range is still left gutshots(with flush draw), trips, Kx, even maube underpairs to K. Lets think. What kind of strong hand he can have on the river. Its full houses for K9 and trips 9x. But there is also a lot Kx, gutshots with flush draws, underpairs to K. His aggresion on the river is low, so he wont bluff so much here. His WTSD 31 and WSSD 35%, shows that he can call weak hands on the river. So I think its thin value bet on the river! Check call is not so good here. As he dont bluff much. Also by checking we miss value from hands like Kx and underpairs. Thin value bet! Sizing 1/2-2/3 pot. (fold to raise).

Preflop. Hero raise UTG with AA for straight value. Get called by MP(I assume he is a fish with not full stack, also he limped 2 times of 3 on CO). Opening size should be 3bb from UTG. We are changing our sizings only starting from CO position. Flop. comes 425r. Hero cbets (cbet sizing is good against the fish) and get raised. Fish can overplay a lot of hands in this spot. Hands like overpairs, gutshots with a pair. Also he can have sets, two pairs, but against his all range we have good pot ods and equity to call. After all saying I think hero cbet should be for thin value, not for straight. Of course we have little hands on fish but WWSF is 100% 100(3) and WSD 100(2), so looks like he goes to showdown with strong hands. So I think its bet/call on the flop. Here is FISH raising range on the flop. As you can see we have good equity. So if we bet/reraise, the FISH could also fold his bluffs, which is not good for us. And usually we get called our all-in with better hands than ours. http://i10.pixs.ru/storage/1/2/0/Screenshot_2626384_20801120.png

Preflop. Hero is opening ATc on CO for thin value. Get called by unknown regular on CO. I assume that on blinds are sitting also regular players as they are full stack. So the range I would give to regular on the BTN is like this: http://i9.pixs.ru/storage/4/6/3/Screenshot_4745467_20800463.png Flop. flop comes draw heavy board. Our hand has 35% equity against his continuing range, so we dont have value bet. We can search for semibluff bet, but folding equity in this spot is low 40%. and if we bet and get called it would be hard to play on the turn if we dont hit something. This hand is too strong to fold also. We will get good pot odds to call if opponent bets in position. So we play check/call. But hero cbets the flop. http://i10.pixs.ru/storage/6/8/6/Screenshot_2481657_20800686.png Turn. turn card closes the flush. Our hand drops in equity. we dont have value bet. As hero played (cbet on the flop) so it would be good card to 2nd barrel bluff i think. I think strong hands like sets, two pairs or even flush draws opponent could raise on the flop. So his range dont look so strong after call cbet on the flop. So we could make semi bluff bet and opponent could fold hands with one pair or even overpairs like AQ. But hero check/folds which is othe option. Check call i think would be bad play, because we are out of possition and opponent can easily bluff at us and we dont have lot of clean outs on the river. http://i10.pixs.ru/storage/8/4/5/Screenshot_3333750_20800845.png

Preflop. Hero is opening KK on CO against fish on SB on straight value (we could play for his hole stack preflop). Sizing is good 4bb as fish is calling very wide. Flop. fish checks OOP and we are making cbet for straight value! sizing is good almost pot size. And fish calls. He could make call with any pair, with A high, gutshots maybe even with such hands like JTc. Turn. Q comes on the turn and fish could possibly make trips. Here are two ways to play. Check back or cbet again. By checking back we can control the size of the pot and see what fish will do on the river. But i would like to take his hole stack and by checking back the size of the pot the by the river will not be large to take his hole stack. So I think its better to cbet 0.8$ for thin value. Also by cbeting we are stealing some equity from hands like A high, gutshots, made pairs 7's and 4's. As fish is calling station.. River. 3c come on the river. It could close OESD. Bet there are also alot of hands that he could call. Any pair, two pair, maybe even A high:) Allin on the river. As HERO played its thin value bet on the river. I think you can bet pot size.

Preflop. Hero is opening AQs from BTN 2bb. Sizing is good, because opponent is folding 80%, so we can open any two cards from BTN. We open raise for thin value, because he is folding a lot to 4bet 78(9). And if he 3bets so we just call, to make sure that he has weak hands in his range when we come to the flop. So there is no reason to 4bet. To make more exact 3bet range of opponent it would be good to know Hero-s defending range vs3bet on BTN, but here is how I imagine opponents 3bet range: http://i10.pixs.ru/storage/9/0/7/Screenshot_2265116_20797907.png Flop. Opponents Cbet in 3bet pot OOP is 61%, so he will be Cbeting good made hands and good draws. We have good chances to call so we make the call. I think there is no reason to raise, because he will fold all bluffs and continue with better equity hands than ours. http://i10.pixs.ru/storage/1/4/9/Screenshot_3861277_20798149.png Turn. His Cbet on the turn is 50%, so I think his range is towards value range and there could be some good flush draws. On the turn we have chances to call and we will see what he will do on the river. His agression by the river is low, so he will not bluff most of the time. Also his WWSF is 45 and WSSD is 60. so we make the call on the turn. http://i10.pixs.ru/storage/4/1/3/Screenshot_5257807_20798413.png River. On the river I think he would check call top pair as most flush draws missed. And as his agrresion on the river is low, so he is shoving here with his value range and we dont have enough equity to make this call. So FOLD on the river. http://i10.pixs.ru/storage/4/3/9/Screenshot_1608766_20798439.png
