Hi everybody! On my journey to become a better poker player, I train on a GTO trainer for 15 minutes every day. Very educational, but I understand very well that these trainers assume that V also plays like GTO.
Despite knowing this, I come across several situations where I totally don't understand why choices are made; especially when I have to call according to GTO where I folded almost 100% of the time.
See a few examples below:
In this spot, example 1:
100bb 6max: CO raise to 2.5bb , SB 3B to 11bb, CO call.
CO: 5.08%
SB: 11.46%
Of course no specific range, but more hands that would for example 3B 20-40% or 40/60% of time, same for calling the 3B on CO.
Flop Ac 6c 9c
Pot 23bb
SB bets 6.9bb
We have 56 of hearts on the CO.
3 clubs on the flop, very easy calculating on range tells us that V have a bunch of AX in his range. Of course 3X a club on flop makes it tricky.
What do you think?
GTO tells us that:
Fold 0.0 EV (0.01% of peoples choise)
Call 6.9bb +2.402 EV (99.20%)
Raise 19bb +1.1314 EV (0.79%)
Raise 89BB -9.054 EV
Example 2:
100bb 6max: CO raise to 2.5bb , BB 3B to 11bb, CO call.
CO: 8.10%
BB: 10.22%
Flop Ks 3c Ac
Pot 23bb
BB bets 6.8
We have 5d5c on the CO
GTO:
Fold 0.00 EV (0.13% of peoples choise)
Call 6.8bb +0.547 EV (67.31%)
Raising 18.7bb +0.536 EV (32.56)
Raising 89bb -7.229 EV
These are some easy examples. There are examples that V is IP, and we check call OP on fhe flop. The overal question of course is: why we calling so loose in some spots on the flop?
There are situations that I doubt calling the river, but there can something to be said for how much money you have already invested and how many % of the times you have to be good for + EV. But these flop examples, where if you call you probably go to a turn with a really bad feeling, I realy don't understand.
In advance thanks a lot for your reply, you are great! Have a nice day, regards.
