Villain is a fishy guy, very high wtsd. Not sure about the value shove on the river if its not too thin. I felt like he never has Ax here(AK,AQ he 3bets pre) and he might raise 2pair on the flop or turn, so I am hoping for a call from a random Kx or Qx. But it should be a logical way to exploit his high WTSD by vbeting more thinly against him.

Villain is a regular, that flop hits my calling range pretty damn well so I go for a little over minraise-I can rep a lot of stuff-the str8 and any 2 pair, maybe KQ. He cant really do much about it even if he has AK-he cant just shove it in here. So incase I do get called I still have backdoor hearts and the gutshot.
This is a move I started using lately-minraising cbets in 3bet pots on textures that hit my percieved range well as a bluff.
And minraising for value against regulars on boards like 552 where I am trying to induce because they will think im not reping anything.
So far totally unbalanced in these situations-e.g. I would never raise 552 with air against most villains. But I dont think its a huge concern until some1 starts exploiting me.

This is also 1 thing I started using. I hate folding my pairs to a guy who is 3beting a ton from the blinds-one option is to call and play postflop but most of the time I will have total air so it might be bad in terms of like no semibluff oportunities, but I can rep quite some flop textures so it also might be ok(4bet/folding pp is bad imo).
The problem I see with this play is that I am completely unbalanced-I always have a small pocket pair when I do this-so villain can play perfectly against it. Ofc I could balance my range by throwing in some 4bet shoves with high PP, or just not having a 4bet shoving range at all. Not sure which one is better. I have seen this move a lot in NL100 and NL200 videos but never on the higher stakes, so there probably is some reason for this(maybe its just not worth it trying to create a balanced range here).

Villain is TAGish-after he calls this flop I think he has an overpair almost 100% of the time, so we just get it in and he shows 99, ship it.
A thing is my turn betsizing-should I start using better stack leverage and cbeting a lot smaller in 3bet pots? But then again I dont want to get outdrawn cheaply-when I bet flop&turn in a way that leaves me a pot bet on the river I give him extremely good odds to draw and when im bluffing just 2 streets I loose a lot of FE if I want to be balanced with my betsizing.
Depends on the board texture-I guess I could bet this turn even less to set up that pot sized river shove?
Also if I am in position against a good thinking villain, maybe I could bluff like this-what I mean is I would make a standart cbet and then make a rly small turn bet to set up stacks for a river PSB, I would fake that im shoving the river(which I wouldnt be), so if I knew he would recognize the situation I would have a ton of fold equity and also an extremely +EV bluff spot due to how much im risking. Ofc this is probably just in theory, on NL100 people might just think its weak or just look at their hand and call. It should probably be a very bad idea on drawy boards bc i would be just giving people good odds to draw.
Goals for next sessions:
-experiment with c/r dry flops for thin value with TP agaisnt certain villains to extract direct value/induce light floats because he wont expect me to c/r TP
-establish a donking range in some spots(a donking range in HU pots doesnt exist at all in my game atm) against agressive opponents/agro fish to induce light raises(I probably dont want to donk vs good regulars bc it is very hard to balance), maybe start donking if I recognize some1 lost a few big pots just to tilt him and make him do something stupid. Also in spots where I have decided to donk/call flop and donk the turn again make my timing extremely fast-nothing used to tilt me more on the micros then when some started insta-pot-donking into me. Use timing as a psychological weapon ![]()
-think even more in ranges! last few sessions reviewed I wanted to slap myself when I saw some of my calldowns, my mentality was more like-oh he is floating me here again, I call(which is a signal that im playing bad). If I thought more about his range in that spot and not just about the fact that im maybe getting bluffed I would definitely make a better decision.
