Okay, this whole situation confuses te shit out of me any I´ve been thinking about it all night.

re: 3betting wet flops w/ made hands

Im not sold yet on any option in the AQ hand being way superior to others, this hand was on my mind all night.


I think it was ISF who said, the only thing that changes during a poker hand is equity. Along with his definition of "draws" (equity stable across ranges, changing per street) and "made hands" (equity changing across ranges, more or less stable over streets) I feel like raising flops with made hands vs a range thats containing lots of draws is not the most magnificient play.

Most of us have learned or figured out two or three years ago, that we want to "charge" draws and deny them correct pot odds. But.

The games nowadays are more aggro than what Harrington was assuming. The 100NL ABC reg will try to get in with a lot of his 40%+ draws. So if we´d b/3b each time we´re only pushing a tiny edge vs him. however, if we took a more passive line on the flop and see a turn, we could get away from our hand on bad turns (requires some reads on the villian, otherwise we´ll get floated on to death?) and have the opportunity to still get the money in with his equity roughly cut in half.

Example here: No other reads on the villian other than shortstacks suck by default. Just assume for the sake of the argument, his donking range are mostly FD´s, 67 and some Qx´s

Stacks:
CO ($48.68)
Hero (BTN) ($77.96)
SB ($23.93)
BB ($64.46)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 4 players) Hero is BTN
CO calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2.25, SB calls $2, 1 fold, CO folds

Flop: ($5.50, 2 players)
SB bets $5.50, Hero calls $5.50

Turn: ($16.50, 2 players)
SB bets $16.18, Hero calls $16.18
Does that make any sense?
