Hello,
I wanted to ask about some boarderline hands and what option is prefered + why you think this. Also how it changes baised on playing HU SnG or 6-max cash.
Os hands: KJos, KJs, ATos & ATs.
Obviously the suited hands have better post-flop playability than the off-suit version, this leads to two options of thought:
1) We flat the suited hands and 3bet the off-suited ones.
-We flat because of the better playability.
-We 3bet because of less playability post-flop so add some value to the hands through fold equity.
2) We 3bet the suited hands and flat the off-suit ones.
-We have more ways we can continue when our 3bet is called. But hate ourselves when we are 4bet.
-We flat to control the potsize as our hand is a little weaker.
HU Sng we are OOP.
6max cash we are generally IP.
Obviously against tighter players we should flat these. Against looser players we can widden our value 3bets.
But how does the format and IP/OP factor impact how you would play these hands?
I ask because i am moving from 6max cash to HU SnG. I'm am aware my thought process needs to change slightly due to the difference of position post-flop BBvSB.
My thinking is as we need to 3bet more in HU SnG to have a prefference to 3betting the off-suit versions.
Thank you.
