this is the way

I would try paying more attention to showdowns to get a feel for what the pool is doing.

- which is yet another reason to study GTO: the better your understanding of theory, the more mistakes you will be able to spot.

highly applicable GTO / Exploits heuristics

 žirafa 

- recognise close to 0 EV combos in your range - how removing just one combo of bluffs from vilain's range radically changes river calling strategy

- blockers are overrated (unless villain bluffing close to ideal freq)

- heuristics on why small bets on some wet boards are warranted

low board cbet sizing deep dive / heuristics

- "thick value" - we can size up if getting called by hands w low equity (AA on 732r, not AA on 754ss)

- can't bomb AK on A74r either - need to "babysit" lot of our 2nd pair type of hands (7x). can bomb AK4r - villain doesn't have as many outs vs our 2nd pair [in theory. in practice, at SS vs recs - can go full exploit vs recs and bloat the pot w AK when they'll have hard time folding TP]

c-bet sizing and frequency - deep dive


Stop Betting 66% Pot


need for protection (from overcards) w low 2nd pair / nut advantage & no need to protect drives the betsize & freq:

AQ2 - no need to bet many hands, bet big due to nut advantage
K74 - betting more hands - protect mid pairs from overcards


why not bet marginal hands on low boards? 
-> we need some one-pair hands in our checking range
