another day another hand, sb vs bb HU

Bruh it's the worst check back that the world has ever seen. You bet tiny OTF. You have the literally ****ign nuts. How does he ever have you beat. You're crazy man

yeah i should have value bet or something. How would u bet OTR? I mean if I had like a JT I would bet more

First off, notice the 4x opening size. Indicative of a stronger range (as it turned out). At 100bb we should slightly overfold but as we're deep I think calling is fine.

When we hit the motherload otf we want to bet bigger, targetting that strong range. Think about it. If he has AK in this range he has AA, QQ, TT, probably AQs, KQs etc and all kinds of stubborn pretty hands. Turn, same. River, same.

Think of it like this: vs fish (basically anyone playing micros) we want to go nuts with our value and only get worried when they play back at us. Population is waay too passive and call waay too much. Worrying about better hands in any kind of x/c line is pure monsters under the bed syndrome. J7 is the de facto nuts until they tell us otherwise.

I would bet around 22BB on river. You probably think it's a big sign of strength them calling 2 streets, but you bet 25% on flop so most players good or bad will be calling very wide here.. and then the turn actually connects with sb 4x open range so it's not enough info to assume they have a Jx.. You have to be comfortable going for value on river (this isn't even thin value) and bet/folding, it's a big way to beat the micros.
