something that doesn't beat a huge portion of his range?


So the % amount of AJs we 3b? Trouble then we're blocking AQ which are his 0ev calls and one of our main targets in this line.

And zero bluffs seems like a mistake/waste on this runout?


I'd bet 12% pot because I'm GTO incarnate

Shove doesn't make sense with your range and with JJ you have good EV in check but you have 2 outs when called almost always

Even if you're really tight you still have enough ace highs and suited connectors

Axhh, AJ, AT, 9Ts, JTs all better bluff candidates than this. Also think pre sizing is too big.


i like it..we block a good chunk of his continuing range after iso'ing the limpers. especially if they've been around for a min and BU is noticing and taking advantage of those free BBs out there.


It's Zoom. i should specify really

Looks like I have septic iso3bet too tight disease. Isothreebettootightitis. Cure? Isothreebetlesstighticillin


To strong


I doubt jamming is a thing. You wouldn't do it with any value.
