Message: [QUOTE="baudib1, post: 1838758, member: 47606"] 1. yeah, your draws are always going to have the most equity on the flop. There are other applications of this concept. Let me give you an extreme example that DOES come up. In a live game recently, this guy got really tilted and bought back in for $100. He went all-in blind. He did this 3 hands in a row, buying back for $100 and going in. He kept losing every one. He was on my immediate left. When I was in the BB, he straddled to $15. 4 people called. Having watched the callers play vs. his previous all-in blind hands, I knew most of them would raise an above-average hand. I had QT hearts in the BB and shoved. There's still a pretty decent chance one of them is trapping. But I know my hand obviously has good equity vs. a random hand (almost 60%) plus I have HUGE fold equity vs. everyone else and I'm certainly not going to let them call first. 3/4 This goes hand-in-hand with capped/uncapped ranges, IMO. Let's say someone who's decent raises pre. You call on the button. Flop is J86r. He bets, you call. Turn is a 2 and he checks. You should pretty much bet your whole range here, certainly Jx, T9, 97, overs, 8x, whatever you got to the turn with. He has capped his range while yours is largely uncapped. You can have some sets here as well as AJ, which is certainly going to be the nuts vs. whatever hand he's checking the turn with. 5. It depends on how they are exploitable but this is like the essence of playing poker, exploiting people who don't play optimally. Let's start with fish. Fish are the easiest to exploit. Let's say this is a loose passive fish. There are many ways to exploit him: 1. Value-bet him to death, this includes top pair/overpairs/nut hands. Don't slowplay or be afraid of WA/WB or being check-raised or whatever. Take him to valuetown. 2. When you show strength and this loose passive raises you, just fold. But really, try to figure out what mistakes people make and exploit them. If they love to level themselves into hero calls, overbet shove the river. If they tend to call flop/fold turn, double-barrel with a range weighted toward air and sometimes check back your good hands. If they flat raises out of the blinds too much, make your raise-size bigger OTB. etc. [/QUOTE]
