What’s up Andrew and Nate. Great strategy section this podcast. Lovin’ it. I think from the perspective of either player, they both played their hands fine. I don’t like the check on the turn from player Z though. It doesn’t make any sense in terms of value because player Y is either going to continue to his turn bet or he’s going to fold. It’s that simple. In this particular case I think he missed out on some fold equity but as the hands were, neither player was going to fold. In that case, if player Z continues with a turn bet, and gets Ck/r from player y, it’s a pretty easy shove here. And if player Y figures player Z for a flush, he’s not drawing dead to call off. Max value, boys. Go big or go broke.
I am trying to figure out how to balance the turn donking range. As6x? Some pocket pair with a spade? I know I am often unbalanced when the 3d flush card hits…
