XC-XR-Jam cos why not?

XC-XR-Jam cos why not?

Undecided on this. Seems GTOish, but always weary attacking strong ranges

+EV?

BTN: 148.6 BB
SB: 97 BB
Hero (BB): 100 BB
UTG: 213.4 BB
MP: 281.4 BB
CO: 100 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has J K

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2.4 BB, fold, Hero calls 1.4 BB

Flop: (5.2 BB, 2 players) T 3 4
Hero checks, BTN bets 2.6 BB, Hero calls 2.6 BB

Turn: (10.4 BB, 2 players) Q
Hero checks, BTN bets 8 BB, Hero raises to 24 BB, BTN calls 16 BB

River: (58.4 BB, 2 players) 3
Hero bets 71 BB and is all-in

I have doubts about your raise size on the turn, villain has to call 16BB in a 42BB pot, you don't have much fold equity and you will land on the river with K high very often. Would you raise this size with a value hand?

I'd say the x/r turn and shove river line is OK, but giving villain an additional opportunity to release their hand on the turn by using a larger raise size would be better.


I agree with Boulgakov that turn size should definitely be bigger. I also question whether we even want to construct a turn raise range, as it will be mainly built around QT, I can't see any other hands that would want to raise (generally bad practice in these spots to raise top+bottoms like Q4/Q3).

On the river yes we have a decent blocker (Js) but the Kh is not doing us any favors, and IP should have a flush advantage since he can bet call basically all his decent spades vs this size whereas we fold some on the flop and take different lines on the turn. Also QT our main value is counterfeited somewhat. So in GTO land we will probably have a very small turn raise frequency and a very small river jam frequency.

I also think the call on the flop, while probably GTO at a frequency, may perform better as a raise.


Cool line but he has more flushes than he should.

A good amount of naked FD's X back turn, mainly the lower ones. Population is over barreling them so that makes river worse.


yeah good points all. I much prefer the XR flop line.

V called with 67ss!


Seems fine.
