General Tips on Playing the Turn

On very low wet boards-> villain's check back range is usually very weak
-we can exploit them by betting very wide on the turn

Sometimes it is more profitable to slowplay very strong hands vs very aggro opponents even when the board is fairly draw heavy-> let them hang themself

All middling type hands should be in our check/call range on the turn

*Always think about what different player types would do with certain hands*
eg. loose passive bets flop on [K5T] and turn is [T]
-he most likely do not have a T as he is passive and will check back Tx on the flop

Loose passive players check call a lot of hands but they do not bet a lot of hands -> can narrow down their range when they bet quite significantly

When betting turn
-does villain have enough hands that will fold the turn in his flop calling range?
-how much equity do we have when we're called?

Vs weaker players when they check/raise the turn on a middle pair card
-ALWAYS FOLD AS THEY HAVE NO BLUFFING RANGE HERE
-is villain good enough to turn a flush draw/straight draws into a bluff?
-> if NO we always fold vs their check/raise

vs whale and loose passive we can always call wider than usual
-they have a very wide betting range (all pairs, draws)
-think about the whale's leading range and the other players' calling range

vs whale leading the turn
-we almost always just call with our value hands and call any river to a bet
-their range is usually way too wide to have enough value for us to fold our value hands

vs tight passive player donks
-we always assume they have a very strong range-> we overfold very often

ALWAYS THINK ABOUT VILLAIN'S RANGE
-when they have a polarized range we usually have to call with our middling hands

vs a reg
-think "would we bluff on this turn card?"
->if YES- we should call with our hand as it is possible our opponent is bluffing

ALWAYS THINK...
WHAT ARE THEIR RANGES?
WHAT PLAYER TYPES ARE WE PLAYING AGAINST?
HOW DO WE EXPLOIT THOSE PLAYER TYPES?

vs very aggro opponents
-we should check very strong hands on the turn to check/shove as they'll most likely call with worse top pairs and all draws
-when we have a very strong draw on the turn and we think he has many bluffs in his range -> we should check/shove to protect our equity vs their bluffs-> if we get called we still have a lot of equity + we have TONS of fold equity

vs passive players
-we always overfold when they check/raise as they have very few bluffs

Slowplaying rather than raising on the turn may be effective when playing vs a whale and loose aggro players as we keep in their bluffs + they may shove river with many worse hands

When drawing to the nuts-> we can justify calling the turn with many opponents even if it is only a gutshot-> we have tons of implied odds

When we have many strong hands in our flop calling range -> we can raise the turn with our weak pair as a bluff (ONLY IF VILLAIN KNOWS HOW TO FOLD)

When we have an over pair on a flush and straight draw board -> we can raise the turn vs a lead from weaker players in order to get value from their top pairs and charge the draws he is betting

vs loose aggro players
-we have to know villain has a very wide range therefore we can go thinner for value
eg a set on a draw completed board when villain 3bet pre
-> he will always call with his overpairs + a pair and flush draws

THINK ABOUT YOUR OPPONENT

WHAT ARE THEIR LEAKS?
WHAT IS THEIR RANGE?
