Info on villain:

Spoiler

I guess you will say that this is an easy cbet. Given that we are IP + we can 2 overcards we can easily put pressure on his pocket pairs and broadways?

Hi,

we have 2 options here. while our hand is good for a CB, its also good to check back and call against a bet on the turn with AQ because we have some showdown value. and its good to check back and call a bet especially if BB has a wide range. against this range i would say both options are fine.

Thanks

Filtering sessions and searching for spots where i could cbet.

Hi,

what do you mean by too low, how low is that? i think 70% is a good number.

in general do not CB thrash on the flop, do not CB on wet boards without a hand. and check back some hands that can bluffcatch turns like AQ AK.

CB everything else that has 1+ overcard on the flop backdoor flush draws pairs etc.

Thanks

I understand that 70% is good, but im not even close to it :( Mine is ~52%. Even turn is bigger.

Im trying to read and find info as much as possible on that aspect, but it doesnt increase. I guess im just overthinking :(

Hi,

plan on turn and rivers with AQ AK when we check flop is usually to bluffcatch at least one street on turn and river, or turn our hand into a bluff (if we believe we can no longer bluffcatch or there is a good opportunity to bluff at for example one card straight or one card flush board).

Thanks
