Thank U 4 Posting.
To answer your question no way should you fold! That was easy. Never fold as played.
Ok now how do we move beyond the basics (see above) to is there a better way to play to get more value with 2 pair vs the EP lead.
Step 1 Identify villain's range on flop.
Would villain lead sets?
2 pair?
Qx? All?
JJ-22? Would they flat call preflop? Which
hands?
AA-KK? Would they slow play preflop?
Flush draws?
Gut shot draws?
Step 2
What range does this villain think they are getting value from flop then turn then river?
For future use: why would this villain discount AK as your holding on the river?
KQ-KJ-K10 K9?
Step 3
So we have a range for our villain. We have position and we raised preflop.
What is our range on this flop?
Can we raise our range on this flop?
Would we always raise our value range here?
If so what bluffs do we raise and does this 67 turn into a
bluff based on villains range?
What will villain do when raised?
What are your
odds to improve vs the value range?
How often will villain continue bluffs on turn?
What is your plan if bet into on a blank turn?
We call flop: how many bluffs vs value hands did you give villain when you adjust their lead range on the turn?
If the turn bet is mostly value why would we not raise that range on the turn?
Does not 67 need some protection on that turn?
That is a good way to
begin to understand a more aggressive thus more profitable way to play this spot.
We have to think about getting the money in when we are good. So many bad river cards could hit to force us to fold if villain was competent. Being as they are not competent we could also lose value when the K hits the river and we check behind or villain only min bet blocks.
2 pair is hard to make for most of us we need to be looking to maximize value when we get it. a 3x turn raise makes the river pot $6 a $2 river bet makes the pot $10 instead of $6.
Hope this helps
