[25 nl] gto hueristic for 3b pots IP and OOP on turn and river

can someone recommend some general hueristics for turn and river on 3b IP and OOP pots. For instance low turn cards, high turn cards, connected, disconnected whats the general strategy

I know its asking for alot, but just wanted to see what I get,

I'd appreciate it if people comment on what they think about another persons post, like if they think the person is wrong.

i actually play mostly 10 nl, seems like most people call wide on flop cbets in 3bet pots, and also seem to call turns more wide than lower stakes. Don't know about river though as I don't really cbet river.

Depends on your player pool and villain tendencies.

If they float flop super wide and like to bet with their whole range on turn, then check/ship is probably best with your bluffs/tp+/draws.
This is the 'old school' 'stack a donk' line.

Most people prefer bet bet bet, at the end of the day, it depends on the board, their range, your range, their tendencies.

Some people prefer check/raise flop then ship turns. Dependent of board textures and player tendencies.

Like you mention they call super wide, do they bet turns with ATC when checked to them? Or they only bet their strong hands?

Also bb vs btn is very different than bb v utg. Usually our range are also very wide in bb vs btn hence they are very wide themselves.


I tend to 3bet 1/3 and check back mostly on bluffs but its more for gto frequencies, which means it mostly to strengthen your range when your cbetting.

that way you get to bluff more and win more with missed merged ranges long term

however if they dont fold more long term, or dont fold short term like 10 nl, 25 nl sometimes they reraise the flop which means tightening up,

but I just double barrel good boards and with combos, and tend to win pots, that arent as winnable with loose people flop.

I'm studying to improve on turn and what i'm not good at all is the river,

at 25 nl player pool calls wider on turn and on the river a guy bluffed me with air and then i bluffed him on the river and he had tpgk and called.

so far from what I've studied turns and rivers aren't really clear cut in 3 bet pots, and it could be up to interpretation in alot of spots, or several different factors being considered.
