Instead of doing a normal play betting 33%/50% I decided to bet almost 200% pot which is not at all a theoretical play and I knew it
I'm interested about what you think, but it seems that people will call a bit more vs a jam turn rather than facing a X/RBB line, and will probably make more mistakes.

Here's the the range that would call me turn vs a jam in my opinion, SC with a FD plus I added AK because I clearly think that most of the pool would think that I'm repping a lot more FD oriented than having a Qx :


And here's the thoeritical calling range vs a jam :


Absolutly no one would ever fold AA/KK/JJ/TT/Pair+draw

The EV of jaming is about 61 while the EV of betting 50% is 63, but knowing all of this it seems that in practice jamming has a better EV, thoughts?

Wishfull thinking imo. This is not an easy call with second best hands.


I think you're way too sure of how population plays and ur wrong
There are definitely players who would fold AA-TT


Assumption seem quite unrealistic to me. Most players fold a lot vs OB and you you are just losing a lot of value by jamming turn.

If you have a read on this opponent maybe it's better.


You would prefer not to have the Ah since this reduces villain’s flushdraw combos that will call.

That being said, I agree with the previous posts that your assumptions are very optimistic/off.

Only good against fish/whales imo.

Even some whales are folding everything but a Q or better here.

Not something I would do personally in a 3b pot, and i would need a reason to do it.
