    hi,Great series, however I am having some trouble to build bet/folding range. Andrew, you are saying on 44:40 that hands that are probably are best hand now and have good equity against opps calling range but have poor equity against raising range are the best candidates to bet/folding range. AQ, gutters, nut flush draws. I understand these hands will benefit from opp folding, but wouldn’t they benefit more being check behind? If we get raised and folding these hands don’t we fold big chunk of equity? I not sure I see better candidates to bet/folding though, but that might mean that we need to bluff a little bit more on earlier street? What do I miss?

      Why do you say they would play better as check backs? And what do you think Hero should bluff with here?

      You’re right that we don’t want to put ourselves in the spot of folding away a lot of equity when raised, but that requires considering two things:
      1. How much equity will we have vs Villain’s raising range? This is why I specified choosing hands that will not have good equity vs raising range.
      2. How often will we be raised? It may be OK to bet even if that will open you up to getting raised off of a lot of equity if you will rarely face that raise.
