Flush
Wanted to share this hand as I think it illustrates the concept pretty well.
This is from Ignition Zone 5NL. Anonymous 6-max so no reads or HUDs.
There are population tendencies that can be exploited though.
Just multi-tabling low stakes for fun so not capturing these hands in PT4 so the replayer is the Ignition replayer.
Hero and V are both deep. Hero is the effective stack with 274 BB. Folds to Hero in SB and Hero RFI with A8s. BB calls.
Flop favors the BB range but with a FD, Hero cbets 1/2 pot. V calls.
Hero makes the nut flush on the turn. Hero decides to X to protect his X range and also possibly induce. V X behind.
River is a blank so Hero overbets - this is polarizing: nuts or nothing and hopefully my turn X convinces V that I am on the nothing end of my range here.
Since V X back turn this could look like I am trying to steal the pot as it looks like V didnt make the flush.
I think this leverages my turn X to try and get called by a weaker hand here.
V obliges by jamming 300 BB!!
Hero snap calls and scoops. I think this is a good example of not playing in a straightforward manner. Most player who X this turn will not have made the flush, and certainly not the nut flush. Then we leverage this behavior to make it look like we are trying to steal the pot on the river after V X turn back. No we are lucky here IMHO that V had the K and thought it wise to jam, but I do think our overbet looks so fishy that it is likely to get calls from any made hand on this board. I wasnt hoping for or expecting a jam here, but that's Ignition!
