[Closed] A5o from BB

Hi!

Any Ax is good almost against any OR to defend from BB.

Play consistently! so dont use these call flop/donk turn lines as they are very rarely good. Such lines are only good when there is a reason for them(like turn card is a scarry card and you assume your oponent will check back too often or if it is intended as a bluff).If you think you are ahead the raise flop(or go for c/c c/r but dont overdo this on micros!,if you think you are behind either calldown or fold)

so... you can use equilator to get a better idea of how you stand on this flop against CO and you will realise you are actually a decent favourite...

Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 45,315% 44,010% 2,608% 53,381% 44+, A2s+, K7s+, Q8s+, J8s+, T8s+, 98s, 87s, A7o+, K9o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T9o
Player 2: 54,685% 53,381% 2,608% 44,010% Ah5c

sure CO range is approximation but then again we have no stats...

So I would c/r this flop and vbet all the way since you will get called very light by Ax or even Kx hands

Cheers (as always) for the tips.

I looked at this with Equilab, so the equity side of things I understood that I was behind pre-flop and ahead post-flop, which is a pretty good thing to be!

What's confusing for me is that I know he's going to cbet nearly all of his range on that flop, so I don't really get anything in terms of information. Unless, of course, I raise and he re-raises, which might be the way to go with hands like this, where you're in a bit of an information vacuum on the flop.

Sure you dont get any info but he is cbetting 100% on this flop and you have clear value in a raise. Sure you may run into him 3betting flop or playing call flop/raise turn and these spots will not be easy.Still it does not justify you playing passive,you will have to deal with these spots as they come along and therefore any stats/reads are very valuable.
