Full Ring grinder RonFar3 is back with another strategy video from CardRunners to help you get your game to the next level.
Here’s the official teaser from CardRunners:
Full Ring Theory and Practice: RonFar Part 2 Released 09.21.2010
We introduce new instructor RonFar3 with some serious style: a new series showcasing the true theory behind your decion making. He kicks things off this week reviewing general full ring theory, pre-flop theory, and the thinking behind all the decisions you’ll have to make.
Here is some of the dialog from RonFar3 from the video’s thread:
With respect to cbetting, I think a lot of people treat the continuation bet as some sort of special situation when fundamentally, it is no different than any other type of bet and the same reasons for betting apply. My cbet stat is lower than most partially because my range is so strong from many positions, and a lot of regulars recognize this and will fold too much facing a cbet but also bet a large percentage of the time when checked to. Thus, is starts to become more profitable for my value range to shrink some in order to accomodate a larger c/c “bluffcatch” type range. Were my range wider and these players continue to play the same way, my cbet% would most definitely increase some.
My fold to 3b over the last million or so hands is right around 66%. With a stronger range preflop one is obviously going to be able to 4b for value and against the right players as a bluff proportionally more often than those with wider ranges. If you’re going to 4b bluff, I’d be doing so with hands that have blockers to AA/KK, but which you can’t call the 3b with profitably. If people are flatting your 3bs with medium pairs and never folding on non-AK high boards, you can adjust to this by widening your 3b range for value, adding hands like QQ-JJ and exploiting them that way. I’d be hesitant to be calling 3bs OOP very often against competant regulars, but against weaker players you can do so more often as one’s implied odds are often far stronger.
