    I've looked over that range and I think I defo underestimated the many combos of worse made hands and gutshots he'll peel with on the flop and maybe even the turn sometimes. given he's SUCH a whale preflop, he likely wont fold any piece of the board a huge amount and I overlooked this range being so wide.

    However, the combination of him having shitloads of air in his range here and the information that he has somewhat spewy tendencies is going to make it the case that more often than not we're doing pretty damn well vs a turn leading range. Yeah sometimes we're making a mistake and we can't know exactly what his range will be for stabbing the turn for certain, but I think we can happily infer it'll be pretty damn weak. The fact he does have lol lol combos of crap to peel the flop with however may mean it's much closer provided he is a huge station postflop.

    Concerning the draws, his flop range contains assloads of Ax and due to the fact he has every Ax under the sun, it contains way more of this than it does draws. We're also really not very far ahead of draws - so one street of money going in with loads of equity due to there being a high likelyhood that he has a weak stabbing range isn't obviously worse imo (again we have reason to believe this guy isn't a passive fish but a retarded one) We're not in awesome shape vs draws and hence any value we do get is minimal since they have so much equity. Him peeling with loads of worse made hands though and having more guttters than I first thought does balacne this and I don't mind betting the flop and turn due to this factor, defo not the river though.

    since he's an 81/13 over a respectable sample, he probably has about as much 8x as he does Ax (would raise AJ pre and prolly some other random combos of Ax, and the only 8x he doesn't have in his range is like 82o-86o).

    so he doesn't need that many draws to begin with, there are a shit ton of draws in his range, and like half of those draws are gutshots whose equity you're vastly over-estimating against our second pair hand. i mean, A-high vs a range of FD's, OESD's and a few GSSD's i agree isn't that big of a favorite; but second pair against a range of FD's and a shittonne of GSSDs that can have no more than one over to our pair isn't really a negligible favorite (esp since we have backdoors to the vast majority of FD combos)

    Yeah him having loads of gutters we're doing really well against obv changes things. If he's really stationy and peeling with all these + all 8x and crap then our equity when called is gonna look heaps better and betting flop and turn will be fine.
