Lab 2.o - Range Betting Basics & Turn Barreling Concepts

Flop Play 

(AKA why we love range betting)

** simple flop (& turn) strat = we can spend more time studying turns and rivers !

good boards to RB:
  • connect with lots of our range (hits the offsuit region)
  • no str8 possible
  • not mono

Turn Play 

How to structure our betting range:
  • Value
  • Equity bluffs
    • Concept: Higher equity draws should barrel more than lower equity draws (!)
      • i.e. weaker draws more fit for protecting our checking range !
        • TODO in-game: try to consciously x-back your weakest SD/ FD to get a feel for it
  • Future bluffs / blocker bluffs:
    • KTss3h 6c, hands like 
      • As4c (obv nut flush blocker on FD complete rivers
      • ! but also a hand like Q5dd - where we block the SD complete rivers (!)
        • can bluff on any 9, J, A
