Giggy HU vs. Takechip HH Review

Would it be a good adjustment to start flatting lots of big hands vs him, or do you miss out on too much value by not 3-betting them? (if he wants to overbet every turn I'd be happier having OP's :P)

Great that you are back^^ - that was for me in fact the reason to renew my subscription:)

Here is my feedback:

Min. 11 – 43s:

I also rly like the play of your buddy here to turn here weak SD_Value into a bluff (what cannot rly call anymore) vs. a range which has many potential aircombos in his range and will bluff this turn in basically a 100%-frequency. You said that he had 52o w/o a spade inside. Do you think it would be better to at least have a 2s inside to have some rest-equity (when got called) vs. maybe some parts of your range?

Or is this aspect here so marginal that you thing it does not rly matter longterm? Although in this way (bluffing with at least a little EQ and letting it go with 0 EQ) he could control his frequencies here. (although this is HU likely not so important when you are not playing a lot vs each other…)

I also agree with you 100% that vs. a good opponent (with solid frequencies) you have OOP a real problem with a hand like your mentioned AT (w/o the FD). I couldn`t be too bad to just fold such a holding on the turn vs. his Raise? What would be your reaction on the turn with such a hand?

Min. 22.45 – KJo:

You said that you would pretty often C/R or lead on the flop with a NutFD. I understand of course the C/Raise-Line,

but @ leading: I also use a leadingstrategy with with my range in many spots. But I only do it on boards where I connect in relative terms better and hence Villains will not cbet a lot. This is certainly mostly not true on K/Ace-high-Boards. Because of this I would always start on this board with my whole range with a check on the flop. Do you rly also have a leadingstrategy on such boards as part of your gameplan?

Min. 36.45 – 88: What you think is the best play for him, if he would have a hand like 99 on A6s in his range on the river?

Min. 46.37 – 66: I am rly not sure about your checkback on the flop. I see that you wanna cbet more polarized vs. an aggr. good opponent who is C/Ring frequently. But imo is this hand vs. his range way too weak and vulnerable to have it in your checkback-range. I mean, with this hand I would not mind too much when my cbet would get C/Raised and I would have to fold…

Last hand – AQo: Maybe you could make here a guess on his Bluffingfreq. On the turn by taking the previous history into account where you made this herocall on the river with 66 in the hand before. Most ppl will then probably think that their bluffingmomentum is worse atm b/c they have got cought up in a previous hand and will therefore decrease their Bluffing-freq. pretty often. That could make me lean in game towards folding here on the turn.

Because he is not calling with worse. It's not because you're ahead of somebody's range on the river that you have to bet, far from that. In order for your bet to be profitable you need to evaluate the hands he will call with... here he's always calling if he somehow gets there with a better hand, and very rarely calls if he gets there with worse.

Couple of problems with the raise :

1. There are a lot of draws that missed, he could put me on one of them and call pretty light if I don't raise big enough, But if I raise big enough, I risk too much given that he's never folding any Kx.

2. I never have a fullhouse, but he does. This means I open the door for a reshove bluff (or value), putting me in a spot in which I might end up losing a bigger pot that would've been mine with only a call. Would be disastrous.

Hey,

thank you a lot for all your answers:)
