QuickFact #22: Take note of what makes you uncomfortable, and then use it!

QuickFact #22: You should rarely float without equity.

Floating: Opponent Tendencies

In previous chapters, we discussed a variety of scenarios where understanding opponent tendencies is crucial for making the best decision available, and floating is no exception.

The first item to analyze is c-betting frequencies. Generally most players display the percentages for how often their opponents c-bet and fold to c-bets on their HUD. This makes sense, because it’s fairly reliable, and offers valuable insight into their post-flop habits. That being said, the c-bet stat is heavily dependent on sample size. Don’t make the mistake of thinking a player is c-betting 100% of boards when you only have 25 hands on him.

QuickStat: A Random Hand Flops Trips Or A Full House ~20% Of The Time

Paired Boards

Paired boards are troublesome for beginning players. I get many questions like, “What do I do when I get check-raised? How often does someone flop trips? What kind of line should I take when I flop trips?” These are all good questions, and we’ll discuss how to approach paired boards in the later lessons. For now, I want you to acknowledge the two main characteristics of a paired board. These are:

Which card is paired

Whether the unpaired card is higher or lower than the paired card

To answer the question I posed a moment ago, a random hand flops trips or a full house ~20% of the time. The rank of the paired card and how it fits into your opponent’s pre-flop range are particularly important, because the likelihood of flopping trips or better on a 244 board is much lower than on a KJJ board.

QuickStat: ~55% of flops are two-tone, ~40% of flops are rainbow, and 5% of flops are monotone.

QuickFact: Semi-bluffs and stack off decisions on dynamic boards are equity driven. The same decisions on static boards are driven by frequencies and opponent tendencies.

QuickFact: The Proximity Effect Is Strong Enough That KQJTr and QJT9r Are Each Slight Losers With 100bb Stacks.

QuickFact: Other Than These Hands, Most Of The Hands That Can't Play Profitably To A 4b Probably Shouldn't Have Been 3b In The First Place.

QuickFact: It Is Almost Always Correct To Call Any Single-Suited Unpaired, Non-Ace Hand That Was Good Enough To 3b In The First Place.

The $20,000 Lesson

The first thing I want to talk about for calling four-bets is the $20,000 lesson, which is the name I came up with to help you remember that four-betting ranges are heavily weighted towards Aces, particularly at the lower stakes. I call it the $20,000 lesson, because that's how much I've probably lost in the past couple of years from calling four-bets when I should have folded instead. For the longest time, I had this huge leak where I always got my money in terrible in four-bet pots, because I wrongly assumed that players four-betting ranges were wider than Aces. Unfortunately for my wallet, I had to lose many big pots to kick the habit, so it would've been great if someone showed me the stuff I'm about to go over with you a couple of years ago.

Calling Three-Bets

I think most players I coach and play against typically call three-bets wider than they should, especially when OOP. I even read a PLO e-book recently that said that when first starting out, you should call three-bets with whatever hands you’re comfortable with. So if I open K♥K♣7♠3♦ on the BTN, does that mean I should just call because I’m “comfortable” with it? I don’t know about you, but just because I’m comfortable with a decision I make at the tables doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily correct. So let’s talk what to look for when calling a three-bet.

Folding Versus Three-bets

There are basically three categories of hands to avoid calling three-bets with. The first are single-paired hands. Previous chapters highlighted how the best hands in three-bet pots are those with smooth equity distributions, and how pairs decrease hand smoothness. Calling a three-bet OOP with these hands is a nightmare, because they possess little post-flop playability, so more often than not you’ll simply bleed money by check-folding whiffed flops.

In many cases, limping behind is markedly better than raising over limpers. First, it keeps the pot small, which on the surface may seem like a bad thing because, after all, don't we want to build big pots in position as often as possible? Building pots in position can make you a lot of money, but not when you're doing it with marginal hands that risk being dominated in multi-way pots. Keeping the pot smaller works well because it encourages opponents to play more straightforwardly, thereby allowing more steal opportunities.

What characteristics make a hand good to three-bet? There are many variables other than your cards like opponent type, position, stack sizes, and table image that can encourage, or discourage a three-bet at any given time

There are mainly three characteristics that determine the three-bet ability of hand. These are raw equity, smooth equity distribution, and a lack of nuttiness. These characteristics are defined and outlined extensively in Tom Chambers book Advanced PLO Theory, which like I've said before, is definitely worth picking up if you haven't yet already.

Unsurprisingly, your tightest opening range should be from UTG, and it's composed of strong, nutty, multiple-component hands like A♣A♦8♣7♦, A♥K♣J♦9♥, and J♠T♣9♥8♠. Most good players open anywhere from 8-15% of hands from UTG, but you can make adjustments depending on table dynamics. With a fish in the blinds and a table full of nits, you can open a wider range of hands because you'll have position on the fish more often. At a table filled with strong aggressive players, tightening up is a good adjustment. Regardless of table dynamics, it's typically safe to open with any four cards 9 or higher that are suited to the Ace from any position at the table.

Here's something else to help you remember what to open from early position with. In high school, one of my buddies came up with a nickname to describe the girls that had really sexy bodies, but faces that looked like catchers mitts. He called them "but-a-faces". Everything "but-a-face", get it? Calling a girl a but-a-face probably won't help your love life, but it's useful for describing what a profitable UTG opening range looks like. If your hand has everything but a face-card, it's worth giving it a second thought before opening it. Some exceptions to the but-a-face rule are hands with supreme connectedness, like T♠9♣8♦7♣, or double paired hands like T♥T♣9♥9♦. These hands play well in almost any scenario regardless of number of opponents and position.
