2013: Make or break

Thanks for that HH. Nice insight into the kind of hands to have in a c/c range. Would you also sometimes c/c the same hand in a single raised pot OOP as the pfr?

Yah something like TP+FD is a pretty great hand to c/c with. It has value on it's own and it improves on run-outs that villain is most likely to bluff (since it's perceived we're capped and can't have a FD).

Also betting TP+FD and somehow getting it in on the flop facing a raise is usually likely going ot be flipping (vs two pair or sets), unless you get it in with a worse FD or something. So you're rarely way ahead in that situation.

I notice your overall 3bet would be considered 'low' by community standards.

however I def think most regs 3bet too wide...

its not that its bad in a vacuum per say, but it really screws up cold call ranges

and if you play a mixed strategy of flatting AA sometimes....

with that said you can probably use that to your advantage in exploiting some select regs

Yah maintaining some strong hands in your calling range is pretty important imo.

An example of using a low 3b to your advantage vs regs.
