Flush
25NL 6max anonymous fast fold. Just back from Turks & Caicos and wanted to play a session. Reread Brokos' "Play Optimal Poker" on the beach.
Hero flats a HJ open on the button with pocket sixes. SB 3bets to 5x.
Folds back around to Hero who decides to flat, IP with a PP. I need to defend more against 3bets and with position this seems like an OK candidate to do so. Last few hand histories have discussed this topic.
Decent flop for Hero as the initial raise and 3bet caller. If that action doesnt scream medium/low PP I dont know what does.
V raises just over 1/4 pot which looks a bit weak but is probably GTO. I decide that I am in a position to bet a polarized range given how I think the flop interacts with my actual range here. I think I am more likely to have all the sets, 56, 78 (as I think this line is also taken with SCs) and Ax spades. So a good polarized range to raise.
Hero raises to $8 or just under 4x. Hero is not excited to see V call. Lets hope for a decent turn.
I like the turn- again I would not be liking an A or broadway card which I think would connect better with V's range.
V's actions (the 1/4 pot bet and X) seem to be representative of the condensed range (using Brokos' terminology) and I think I am still in a position to continue applying pressure with my polarized range and put his medium strength hands in a very tough spot.
Hero jams. Thoughts?
