Spoony Exercise 9: Choosing a Bluffing Range

against that range

a) jdtd (29.017) vs 22 (18.508)= jdtd
b) 7s6s vs ahjh- 35.518 vs 24.059= 7s6s
c) th9h or 44- 18.077 vs 19.712= 44

ok what i do not understand is why is the jdtd waaay more equitable than the th9h? is it just because the back door flush possibilities? or does it have to do with the fact that t9 is not beating anything in his range, JT is at least beating t9, and j9?

There are more J's in his range than 9's , leaving the t9 GSSD fewer average outs . With jt we dominate t9s and j9, and, if were behind always have at least 4 outs to hit (except for q9). With t9 we're always behind his draws, leaving us drawing to 3 outs a lot of the time (against all the jx hands, against JJ we only have 2 outs)

I need poker-recording software to complete this, 7,8 and...5 I think. I don't have any yet, but I have some unfinished business with these threads.

@spoon: I am disappointed that more people haven't taken the time to do these lessons. Am also disappointed that lack of participation caused you to stop making them. For what its worth, they are much appreciated on my end. Cheers bud.

Ill be back.
