NL100 BW 3barrel bluff

This hand is not top of his range, good villains will float much wider than you think

I actually meant it is in his 1-a part of range, didnt mean it is his best hand. Also 85s is a great blocker, blocks so many strong hands so I dont think it is a thin call at all. I would rather call 85s than Qx for example.
Also how do you know what do I think about his call range ? I assume good villian will float some broadways with bdfd, so will hit some Qx, Kx on turn and river, but still on the river his range should mostly be weak pairs, Qx, some rare Kx. I dont see many Kx in villian range. You can suggest what you would float on flop and turn so which Kx combos would you have? Imo the run out favors BU a lot. On A turn would be quite different though

Position is quite important, this is one of the boards that is actually quite good for bb, also a lot of good villains will slow play straights occasionally,

Can you please explain this in more details, why do you think this board is quite good for bb range? I actually think it is quite oppisite, it is horrible for bb range, and very good for BU. The reason is that BB usually flats plenty of broadways, and hits poor on low boards in general, so since BU has all of the overpairs, thus has great range advantage. BB only hits many set combos on this board, but not more than BU. Agree position is very important on low boards, since there are so many draws, and BU can nicely realize its equity.

I'm talking about vs good opponents that don't cap their range on early streets fwiw

They dont cap their range? They will surely raise some % of strong combos on flop and turn (especially important on low boards to prevent BU to realize his equity so nicely), so still even if they are not 100% capt, on river they will have only small % of strong hands.

Hello again,

I can barely keep my eyes open but will try to put together a long post answering your questions/comments. Really long post incoming but I think it will help you.

First things first, I'm not saying stop using 1-a completely but be really careful using a "naive 1-a". (think it's coined term by Will Tipton). There has been a vid by Internet talking about asymmetrical ranges, there are also other video producers who have talked about this quite a bit as well. I can also tell you from personal experience from working with tools such as GTORB where 1-a will be quite off. Use it as a starting point, guideline, however you want to call it, but you are better off analyzing range vs range and seeing who has more nutted combos. In terms of blocker effects with 85 or Qx, they are both bluff catchers, each blocks different hands, I could argue that not having a 5 is quite good because bad sbs will get too carried away with hand like a5o, but like I said neither of the blockers is significantly better than the other. It also depends quite a lot how the sb chooses hands to bet with. Also you seem to have the hand confused, this is BB VS SB, you keep mentioning BU.

Here is an equity distribution graph, top part represents "nutted" hands. I threw together two ranges quick, these are not how I play, but might be a fairly close representation of what two regs at my stakes might look like. It's like fine to defend all suited hands or use the super weak ones to 3bet. Some people might 3bet 56o/67o. This program is called EDvis, google it, download it, play around with it, use it, quite useful. What you will learn is that there are a lot of boards when sb opens and bb calls that hugely favor the bbs range because how aggressively bb is 3betting. (obv use your brain, this is not true for nits so use your hud.)

You are correct, the theory/logic behind raising strong hands is that it is supposed to prevent the sb from realizing equity and also make sb "behave" more meaning he just doesn't cbet always so middle and bottom of our range can realize and get to showdown. (I'm talking as the bb). However, what tends to happen a lot at small stakes is the BB bet's way too f**king much when checked to for protection so sb has no incentive to bet if the bb will put in money more frequently when checked to then when he bets himself, so what a strong sb will do is just x/r you and then the whole point of realizing equity goes out the window because we opened up the action too weak. It's a mistake a lot of guys make, myself included often. So that's why when you see internet's vid he bets quite large. Hopefully all of this so far makes sense.

There is a video where sauce goes over a sb vs bb spot where sb has AA on a similar type board but medium board with straight possible and bdfd coming in and betting AA comes out to be a mistake. I haven't studied this spot enough to know which hands might be too weak to bet otr, but so far in pretty much every spot I have gone over, the ranges are very polarized otr and I have learned that correct stack off ranges are quite tighter than most tend to think, lol sorry that's too general but I'm afraid I can't expand on that or it's going to go for too long. But I will give you some cool theory idea that i learned, when designing turn ranges, on river x and y, if you have 2 bluffs on x and 0 on y, vs 1 bluff on x and 1 bluff on y, your range benefits way more in the 2nd scenario because in first example you have no bluffs on Y and that's not good.
