1)

It’s unlikely our opponent holds a strong hand.

For example, say we hold A♣ 5♣

. Ifwe bet a wet flop

—

let’s say 8♣ 7♣ 4♥

—

and our opponent calls, we can usually be certain he doesn’t have really powerful hand (like 88, 77, 44, 65, or 87) as he would

usually raise these hands. Most of his range for calling probably includes: hands like T9, J9, and A5 for straight draws; hands like 86, 76, and 55 for pairs and gutshot straight draws; hands like A8 or 97 for weak pairs; hands like Q♣ J♣ or K♣ T♣ for

flush draws, and hands like AJ or KQ that called simply with the intention of takingthe pot away on the turn. To categorize these hands respectively, our opponent holds

straight draws, pair+draws, weak pairs, flush draws, and air. Each of these hands are“floating” the flop, with the last category being considered more “pure floats” as they lack any pair or strong draw.

2)

It’s likely that our opponent will bet a wide, weak range on the turn. The turn card

comes a 2♦, making the board 8♣ 7♣ 4♥ 2♦

. Let’s consider our opponent’s likely action with his range after we check the turn. With his straight draws, flush draws,

and air, he’s going to bet the vast majority of the time

—

simply because betting is the most likely wayhe’s going to win the pot. He’s likely to check his weak pairs and 12

pair+draw hands behind, as he’ll probably want to get to showdown with his weak pair.

Therefore, when he bets the turn, the vast majority of his range is very weak, and now the pot is very large. So, this becomes a good time for us to check-raise the turn as a semibluff, and of course, for reason #3, capitalization of dead money. Sometimes, our opponent will be tricky on the flop with a hand like 65 and just call the flop. Other times , the turn card will help our opponent in a disguised way. Sometimes our opponent will hold a hand like TT, 99, A8, or 86 and decide to bet the turn and get the money in if we check-raise. To compensate for these possibilities, we need to make sure we have some equity before making this move.

Thus, A♣ 5♣ on a 8♣ 7♣ 4♥ 2♦ board is perfect, as we have a ton of equity. A♣ J♣ would be fine as well.

K♦ Q♥ probably wouldn’t be as good of an idea.

ce que je crois en comprendre:

Sur un flop tres dry avec flush draw evident, si l adversaire juste call c est qu il na pas un gros jeu (pas de set, double paires, straight faites) sinon il aurait eu trop peur de la turn et aurait relancé…

partant de la on le voit sur plein de mains possible comme straight drauw ou flushdraw, petites paires, qu il aurait juste float, et on pense obtenir plus en c/r au turn sur une blank, que en misant la ou il aurait couché
