Spoony Exercise 4: Exploitative Play and Adjustments

1. If someone folds to flop continuation bets a whole lot, you can adjust by Continuation betting more.
2. If someone calls the flop continuation bets too a whole lot and folds to a turn continuation bet a whole lot, you can adjust by 2-barreling more.
3. If someone folds their blinds pre-flop a whole lot, you can adjust by stealing more.
4. If someone raises flop continuation bets a lot, you can adjust by value-betting more and stealing less.
5. If someone calls down multiple streets with any piece, you can adjust by value-betting more and bluffing/semi-bluffing less.
6. If someone open-raises a very wide range pre-flop and doesn't 4-bet a wide range, you can adjust by 3-betting more.
7. If someone open-raises a very tight range pre-flop, you can adjust by folding/set-mining/playing drawing hands more. (I usually set-mine these players as they are happy to stack post with an over pair quite frequently) the folding more & set mining/playing drawing hands seem to contradict one-another, but I mean folding things with some equity versus normal ranges like a lot of broadways, and treating anything below the middle of their opening range as a drawing hand (esp. pockets). incidentally this usually means 3-betting less.
8. If someone continuation bets the flop a lot of the time, you can adjust by check-raising, calling and donking the turn more.

1. If someone folds to flop continuation bets a whole lot, you can adjust by __________ more.
- Opening wider
- C-betting more frequently

2. If someone calls the flop continuation bets a whole lot and folds to a turn continuation bet a whole lot, you can adjust by __________ more.
- Let him float you when you're strong
- Dbl barrelling air/draws more

3. If someone folds their blinds pre-flop a whole lot, you can adjust by __________ more.
- Stealing more/open wider
- Occassionally open limping monsters in late pos (balance with a few crap)?

4. If someone raises flop continuation bets a lot, you can adjust by __________ more and __________ less.
- Cbetting strong hands more and draws, 4betting both these
- Chk-calling marginal hands to get to showdown cheaply rather than be put to decision when cbet raised
-cbet air less, although occassionally balance (if opp is 1/2 decent) by cbet-4betting air

5. If someone calls down multiple streets with any piece, you can adjust by __________ more and __________ less.
- Vbetting more on all 3 streets
-Cbetting air less
- Open slightly tighter range pf in pots with him to ensure we can make value bets post flop (is there an argument to open a wider range though, as money can be made out of marginal spots?)

6. If someone open-raises a very wide range pre-flop and doesn't 4-bet a wide range, you can adjust by __________ more.
- 3betting light more

8. If someone continuation bets the flop a lot of the time, you can adjust by __________ more.
- Floating more/stealing turn
- Raise cbet lighter
- Call down lighter
- Pf, maybe just flat with AA/KK in order to encourage him to cbet flop light
