04.40 [22 IP, 25bb] Why do you think that 2x is better then pushing? Lets say you rematch a LAG and you know he raises limps light and 3b light, how would you rank the following:: limp/push, 2x/push, openpush.
05.20 [22 on A J 9 ] Why not CB this? Chadders said it’s a suckers game not to CB Ax flops.
15.40 [65s OOP , 17bb] Why not jam this vs this villain that opens so light?
22 - Vs a lag that raises light and 3bets light, I would probably open jam, unless he 3bet small light (rather than 3b shove), then we would have a profitable 4bet option. Postflop tendencies and his calling range would be a factor (the more he folds, the more he 3bets light rather than calls light, the better an open raise is, the more he flat calls, the less he folds, the less he 3bets, the more an open jam is nice).
22 AJ9 Board - Depends, often Ax boards are good to barrel bc a lot of people 3bet Ax preflop, and a lot of easily fixable mistakes are "Well he might not believe that I have the Ax, so I checked back" which is incorrect.
But if our opponent isn't 3betting a ton, he has plenty of Ax in his range, and if he's calling a medium range OOP, he just hits this board a huge % of the time to where the only cbet worth considering is probably an under sized cbet, so your success % doesn't need to be as large.
Chadders comment is right I believe, for the most part, and I just spoke with him about these types of situations, I think the conclusion is that it is often incorrect to not cbet Ax boards. AJ9 vs a guy that doesn't 3bet a lot though can be an exception (other variables can make it go either way still I suppose), but something like cbetting 30 into 80 here might be the right route, and giving up on a non Kx non Qx turn.
65s - With a very wide opener 65s can be a jam, good find. If it's an opponent that plays poorly postflop and isn't opening super wide, 65s can be fine to call with (if you can see free turns and rivers often, steal pots you miss, etc. then calling can be pretty ideal).
