NL4 steal 46o?

Title is random

I've thought a bit about stealing and cbetting against tight opponents lately. Against a regular tag at NL4, It's profitable to steal since they will fold alot BUT if they call, is it worth cbetting? If i put them on JJ-22,AQs+,AQo+ and the flop is very dry like J27r, do you think they will fold anything here? They may float with overcards and PP's. Even tho if i bet like 1/2 pot here, i don't think it'll work 33% of the time against a typical tag.

But against a nit, i could profitably cbet such flop or opponents who is fit or fold. Do you agree?

Hello,

Overall, the more they fold preflop, the more they are going to continue postflop as they have good ranges.
Having this said, cbetting is most likely not going to show much profit unless villain is playing fit or fold and the board is good for us.

Best,
Plamen

Yea that's what i thought too. I think i should maybe give up such dry flop then (only) against tight opponents who is not fit or fold. My strategy against them would be steal their blinds frequently, cbet if i hit, give up the lead if i missed the flop. Or maybe cbet bluff on wet boards against them since it's gonna be hard for them to continue with PP and overcards???

I've learned in the Course that good conditions for a successful bluff is when your opponents are comfortable folding and i think i am reasonably comfortable folding wet flops when i have a small PP or AT+ KQ, when someone opens from CO+ and i'm OOP

I like the way you are heading here. Your assumptions are right here but we should take under consideration on which wet boards do we bet and how does those wet boards hit villain's range.

For example, a JT9tt will often hit his range for calling so there is no point in cbetting. On the other hand, 765tt is hardly going to hit a tight villain's range well so this board is better to bet, but of course we should go for cbetting any two here.

Also, your assumptions about the dry boards are correct but I'd like to add that we could cbet dry boards with backdoor equity so that we have turn/river cards to continue betting on.

Yea i ment boards like 456, since JT9 hit all of his broadways.

JT9tt

What does tt means?

I always think about ranges when i cbet, that's why i made this thread since i took a step back and thought about why i really cbet dry boards against tags in the blinds. I think i fixed a big leak right there actually and thanks for helping me!

The "tt" in JT9tt stands for two-tone.

It means that the boards has two suits (there is a flush draw) - for example JhTh9s.
