Final table 5 handed. This is an $11 tourney on Carbon starting at 10:30 EST. The guy i have labeled tight had really screwed it down in last few orbits. Plus i have a few more hands in other tourneys with him. If he Cbets he is serious. Villian has been active calling out of the BB often.(8 of 14) I am utg and open 2x with K10o. In my mind a goodish flop. I bet 40ish percent of pot. Not unusal just about my CB on every flop where i continue. Two callers. Bet this turn as played or start trying to get to showdown. Board is getting connected on the low side. I have arrived at the river with a two pair hand and get bet into. Raise out of the question/just call to protect stack? Still a player to act after but after turn check pretty sure he has less than me.

I would bet small on the turn too.

As played I am not sure worst hands will call a reraise otr, maybe BB with T3, T4, T5, K3, K4, but that is not a huge part of BB´s range, and V might overplay and shove, the problem when V 3bets all in is that V will do that with sets, str8s and flushs. The bet is small, maybe BTN will call and you will win a nice pot. Just dont see much reason to reraise otr.

Are you betting on the flop to get value from pocket pairs? I’ve been studying a lot lately about checking with the best hand, especially on the flop. In other words, trying to understand value targeting better.

This is a drier board on the flop, and I’m wondering if we wait till the turn to bet if we get more calls from worse.

I probably call on the river but would like to hear arguments for raising. Even though your hand improves, I feel as if the relative strength of your hand goes down in the face of a bet.

Not sure a check otf is good, since this is not a heads up pot, and we don´t have position.

As I said before, I don´t see reason to reraise otr.

So I’m very new at working all this out, but I tried running the hand through Pokercruncher and put villains on ranges and ran the numbers. See if this makes sense and please, any flaws in how I worked this out would be greatly appreciated!

PF our KsTc is 32% to the TIGHT calling range of about 20% (JJ-22, AQs-A2s, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, AQo-ATo, KTo+, QTo+, JTo) and a somewhat looser BB calling range of 34% (JJ-22, AQs-A2s, K2s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T8s+, 97s+, 86s+, 75s+, 64s+, 53s+, 42s+, 32s, AQo-A2o, KTo+, QTo+, JTo, 65o, 43o, 32o)

On the flop: I think the bet is fine. You have TKGK, two PF callers who’ve shown no strength and this board might have middle paired for at at least one of them, and then maybe set up a straight draw to be charged.

Once I tighten up their range after the calls, including any sets that they might slow play (which I think is really unlikely), and have them both float your cbet with overs (which they may not):

Tight villain: JJ-66, 44-33, AQs-ATs, A5s-A2s, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 65s, AQo-ATo, KTo+, QTo+, JTo

BB villain: JJ-33, AQs-ATs, A5s-A2s, KTs+, K4s-K3s, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, 75s+, 64s+, 53s+, 42s+, 32s, AQo-ATo, A5o-A2o, KTo+, QTo+, JTo, 65o, 43o, 32o

We’re now 63%. 

On the turn: When you give up betting, the tight player would probably bet sets and a made straight, so I’m going to exclude those from his hand. Will leave them in the BB hand, which I think maybe makes some sense for his river bet.

Tight: JJ-66, AQs-ATs, A5s-A3s, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 65s, AQo-ATo, KTo+, QTo+, JTo

BB: JJ-33, AQs-ATs, A5s-A2s, KTs+, K4s-K3s, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, 75s+, 64s+, 53s+, 42s+, 32s, AQo-ATo, A5o-A2o, KTo+, QTo+, JTo, 65o, 43o, 32o

We’re now 67%

On the river: the Ks comes and knowing nothing more, we’re 78%. But, i think that lead bet from BB might mean a lot. It MIGHT mean villain has hit a K, but I think it’s also very likely they are now betting a made hand from the turn. 

BB range on the river: JJ-TT, 55-33, AQs-ATs, A4s-A2s, KTs+, JTs, 76s, 65s, 53s+, 43s, AQo-ATo, A4o-A2o, KTo+, JTo, 43o

Unless Tight has a King and the bet is reasonable, I’m guessing they will be folding. I don’t think they’ve slow played sets or straights. If you call and tight calls, his range is most likely: KTs+, KTo+. If he raises then by the time it gets back to us I think it’s a clear fold.

I’ve kept a few hands in BB range as bluffs – some of the AJ+, JJ, A3-A4 etc – that might have gotten there because of the turn checks. If you take those out (ie he’ll never lead this river bet with those) then we’re crushed. But with these and keeping Tight in, we’re 50%. 

To me, if you think BB might lead out with bluffs or K high, then this is worth a call only. But if you think BB would have slow played their sets on the flop and planned to check-raise sets and straights on the turn, then I feel like we should be folding…

God I hope all of this is clear!

I think the BB calling range will be a lot wider than you said, something like 60% (JJ-22, AQs-A2s, K2s+, Q2s+, J2s+, T3s+, 95s+, 85s+, 75s+, 64s+, 54s, 43s, 32s, AQo-A2o, K3o+, Q5o+, J7o+, T7o+, 97o+, 87o, 76o, 65o, 54o), maybe more.  (assuming QQ+ and AK to 3bet sqz).
          → I didn´t get why you give BB 65o, 43o and 32o, and not T9o, 98o… kind of hands for pre flop calling.

For tight guy, you have played more with him, but I assume a tighter range than you: JJ-22, AQs-A2s, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, AQo-ATo, KJo+, QJo

On the flop: I think the bet is fine. You have TKGK, two PF callers who’ve shown no strength and this board might have middle paired for at at least one of them, and then maybe set up a straight draw to be charged.

I like the bet otf, I think tight guy won´t call that light with floating, because he has to worry about BB; So tight guy with JJ-33, AQs-ATs, A5s-A2s, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, AQo-ATo, KQo, the high cards floats are a “maybe” for me, not sure thing.

BB can be really wide here, or not, depends if he is thinking about ranges or not, like folding 3x, 4x or gutshots, and more.

Once I tighten up their range after the calls, including any sets that they might slow play (which I think is really unlikely), and have them both float your cbet with overs (which they may not):

1- why is unlikely?
2- why they may not?

On the turn: When you give up betting, the tight player would probably bet sets and a made straight, so I’m going to exclude those from his hand. Will leave them in the BB hand, which I think maybe makes some sense for his river bet.

I don´t necessarily agree that tighe player will bet sets and str8s, the board is not scary, there is not much to protect here, A2 and some sets, but otherwise your range and BB range should not be very strong so he can bet turn and river for value. Backdoor flush is more likely to BB, since if you had it, you probably bet again ott.

I agree that BB may have sets and str8s for river bet.

On the river: the Ks comes and knowing nothing more, we’re 78%. But, i think that lead bet from BB might mean a lot. It MIGHT mean villain has hit a K, but I think it’s also very likely they are now betting a made hand from the turn.

I did it quickly, so maybe this is wrong on some hands, but the BB range OTR should be something like: JJ-22, AQs-ATs, A5s-A2s, KTs+, K4s-K3s, QTs+, Q4s-Q3s, JTs, J4s-J3s, T3s+, 64s+, 54s, 43s, AQo-ATo, A5o-A2o, KQo, KTo, QTo, JTo, T7o+, 65o, 54o

you can count how many Kx hands there is, and two worst pairs that would call a reraise OTR, or maybe 3bet shove, like T4s, T3s…

Because of your check ott, BB can be raising some bluffs here. Both players should not be strong enough to call a reraise otr if you can win the hand, or pay a big bet with lot pocket pairs or Tx.

Ok great response thanks!

Not including the unsuited connectors: that’s my fault and an indication of my own tightness – I rarely play those and need to be including them in my own hands, much less considering them in other ranges. 

Slow playing/floating the flop: I guess I’m wrong to think either of those is highly unlikely for either player to play. I guess it’s read dependent. Feels like a bet from one of them would be expected if either had something, but the fact that neither bet does not mean that sets/draws can be excluded. 

So do you feel like a raise is worth playing here? Using your much wider range for BB we’re 70% so obviously we want to get it all in. I really don’t see AA-QQ showing up at the river 90% of the time, since there was no pfr. Weighing many of the overs and 55-99s and a few other less likely hands at 25%, we’re still 60%. Would you fold to a 3bet otr?

I cbet the flop as you did, I bet small on the turn, and probably fold to a reraise ott; On the river I just call that lead, I think the range that will call your reraise, that you can beat is way too small for be worth, if I have done the reraise, fold to a 3bet because I think that V´s range is going to be more heavy of monsters that we cant beat.
