Bluffing Frequency Quiz

How much equity would you have if he bluffed twice as often as he does now?

72%

He bluffs 6 times, value bets 4 times

If he doubles his bluffing frequency, using the figure above he will then be bluffing 12 times and will still be value betting 4 times.

So for a total of 16 hands, 12/16 = 75%.

My first post by the way.

I think this needs clearing up for some people. Polarised does not mean balanced. Polarised means he can have good hands and crap hands, but not medium hands. Polarised does not mean anything to do with frequencies or equities. Polarised does not give us 50% equity.



e.g. AA, KK, AK, QQ, + trash is a polarised range. Whether or not it is balanced is entirely dependent on the number of combinations of trash hands in the range.


Penneywize you should really try to type out an answer to the 60% equity question. I think that will explain things for you.
