Playing Flop IP as PFA

DIFFERENCES TO BEING OOP
-easier to pot control and get to show down
-we can employ a mixed strategy to exploit our opponents
-when HU and we have a range advantage, we can cbet 100% our of range with small sizing

PLAYING VS DONK BETS
-often top pairs, sometimes draws
-we call hands that would've bet + mid strength checking range + draws
-raise strong value hands + best draws

THE WETTER THE BOARD + THE STICKIER OUR OPPONENT- THE MORE OFTEN WE RAISE FOR VALUE

-vs low tacks and aggro opponents on dry boards, we want to slowplay our strongest hands
-tighten up our range multiway

BLUFF RAISING (Be very careful)
-DO NOT TRY TO BLUFF PLAYERS OFF TOP PAIR
-can bluff raise more vs tiny donks
-multiway we tighten up our bluffing range A LOT- only raise our strongest draws

PLAYING VS CHECK/RAISE
vs PLAYER TYPES:

1. ABC PLAYERS: have very few bluffs, mainly strong value
• we only continue with good draws + strong value hands
2. TIGHT/NIT/PASSIVE: will have very strong value mainly
• we can make big folds right away often
• only continue with best draws and strongest value
3. AGGRO/MANIACS: will have wide value and many bluffs
• they over-value their mid strength hands (top pair mid kicker)
• we continue with any top pair, some good second pair, any draws, strong overs with BDDs
• be prepared to call turn barrels very often
4. LOOSE FISH/WHALES: over-valued hands, but not lots of bluffs
• check/raise with bad top pairs, some good draws
• we continue with top pairs, most draws
5. REGULARS: mainly good value hands and strong draws
• very value heavy
• we continue with top pair, good second pair (vs aggro), most draws and overs with BDDs

POSITION

-continue tighter vs check/raise in EP- we continue with more hands vs LP check/raise

BOARD TEXTURE

Wet boards

-players will have more draws... HOWEVER

-also lots of strong value too that'll barrel often

WE CONTINUE WITH TIGHT RANGE (TOP PAIR+, STRONG DRAWS)

Dry boards

-less bluffs, more overplayed top pairs + very strong value hands

-aggro players can have very wide bluffing range-> easier to showdown with good value

WE CONTINUE WITH STRONG RANGE (TOP PAIR+, MOST DRAWS, GOOD OVERS+BDDS)

3BETTING FLOP

-on wet texture: 4bet strongest value to get stacks in

-on dry boards: call more often to TRAP

vs aggros: trap more often (STILL 3BET FLOP ON WET BOARDS)

vs tight/loose passive: 3bet strong value right away vs their strong range

vs regs: call strongest value often to TRAP and protect our calling range

multiway: 3bet strong value right away for immediate value + equity denial
