Final table of Blackpool deepstack

[kukushkin88]

I'm not convinced by this line, if he is a good player and you bet the turn he might well crai, we have <30% equity against ace high and approx 15% equity against the 10 that OP says we suspect he has. Our line so far will have done nothing to make the villain think we have a hand, our hand looks super weak at the moment imo. Make it 120k on the flop is so much better. What hand/range of hands are we expecting the villain to give us credit for at this stage?

I don't really want to commit all my chips to this hand, as it can badly damage my stack

OK so check it out. This is not how you should be feeling as the CL at the FT. However, your reluctance to lose SOME of your chips does give you a very good idea about how your oppo is going to be feeling about losing ALL of his chips. Your job is to pressure that feeling. Your job is not to worry if he will call. If you don't pressure him you end up fudging the decision by just calling and hoping to hit cards. Ok, so Boldie says bet now to take the pot, how much you gonna bet? There's what...about 150k in the pot. So you bet say 100k. Already the hand is costing you more than if you raised 120k on the flop (and I thought you were worried about losing chips?), also you now only have one card left to see, and finally you're pinning all your hopes on him believing you have a queen. What will you do if he pushes? This strat just turns your hand into a bluff and you can do that any time with any hand. Raising the flop widens your hand range past 1 card, costs you less, you have more outs, and your mentality is ftw.

bet the turn small to setup another river barrel if need be.

bet the turn small to fool live nit into thinking he's pot-committed when you push with 5 high on a brick river.
