what is the objective of a x/r? what hand classes it punishes?
- denies EV to all the marginal hands that bet and then face a raise.
theory dynamics / mechanics:
- if we remove x/r, IP starts to stab all his marginal hands for the perfect sizing for each hand, then can check behind and navigate to the perfect pot size
SPR dynamics
High SPR spots
- more polar - need very strong value hands as the core of our range
- stack-off hands - use geom sizing
- some textures we want to go thinner on the turn = smaller size
- flush completers, or paired boards where both can have a lot of trips
- Future Bluffs - become good bluffs on certain river (eg. Ax FD blockers!)
Mid SPR
- lots of x/shoves on the turn = often need for future bluffs!
Low SPR spots
- can go broke even thinner
- smaller raise sizes (~1/2 pot) > FDs can bet/call now
- > main bluffs are now draw owners and NFDs (can get called by worse, whereas at higher SPR those would fold)
K76r - hands like A9o - EV goes to 0 (folding); 86 - can call, but EV drops significantly
Adjustment #2
- use bigger sizing with value on the flop vs passive players - otherwise premium hands which benefit from being x/r won't get enough money in the pot
Adjustment #3 (3bet pot)
- e.g. Q93r BUvSB - BU can stab range if SB is not x/r; choosing the ideal size for each hand, for ex. B30 w 55, B70 w TP+
