Thought Process On Any Hand

PREFLOP
1) What player type raised?
2) What player types are behind?
3) What player types are in the blinds?
4) What are their stack sizes?

Always think in terms of their range -> which position did they open/flat from?

Our Adjustments vs Different Player Types
1) Good regs
-play GTO with good bluffing/value frequency
2) Loose aggro
-never bluff them
-defend 3bet wider
-check to induce bluffs when draws missed
-use overbets vs calling station
3) Loose passive
-go mainly for value
-make hero fold often vs them
4) Tight passive
-make hero fold vs them VERY OFTEN
-tighten up vs their open raise
-raise very strong hands straight away vs their aggression
5) ABC/Semi regs
-we can bluff vs this player type
6) Maniac/whale
-widen our value range
-never bluff them
-use big sizings with value hands
-go for VALUE VALUE VALUE

FLOP

1) What are their ranges?
-if they have wider range we go thinner for value
2) How many streets of value do I have?
-1 or 2 max, we check the flop
3) How many opponents are in the pot?
-vs multiple-> we bet polarized range, HU- we bet depolarized range
4) Board texture
-the wetter the board, the more polarized we bet
5) vs which player types?
-adjust accordingly to different player types

Facing checks IP
-we bet very wide as their checking range is very weak

Facing a bet
1) What is their range?
-lots of bluffs or value heavy?
2) What are their barreling frequencies?
-if they barrel a lot-> just call with strong hands

TURN

1) How did the turn hit each player's range?
2) Continue betting with strongest value hands and strongest bluffs
3) Think about what certain player types would do with certain hands
-eg. tight passive bet the flop and bet the turn on a paired turn -> he will likely not have trips as he would've checked the flop with the middle pair
4) vs Weaker player when they check/raise the turn on a middle pair card
-> always fold as they have no bluffing range there at all
5) "Is villain good enough to turn flush draws and straight draws into a bluff?"
-If no-> vs their check raise we always fold
6) vs aggro players -> we include very strong hands in our checking range in order to check/shove as they will never fold top pairs

RIVER

1) Board interaction and runouts
-if many draws completed - we pot control
2) Number of opponents
-bet tighter vs multiple opponents
3) Opponent tendencies and player types
-vs different player types we use different sizings and betting ranges
4) Opponent's line and action
-lots of checking = weak line
-lots of betting esp. on flop and turn = strong line
5) Our realistic range
-more bluffs in our range = bigger sizing we can go

BLUFFING

* Is our opponent capable of folding value hands?*
- if no -> never bluff vs them (loose aggro, whales and loose passives)
