How to Play Paired Flops in No Limit Hold'em | Upswing Poker Level-Up

Ойын-сауық

Paired flops like A-A-5 or 7-7-4 are fairly common in No Limit Hold'em. As a result, the way you play them will have a pretty big impact on your overall win-rate. Do you know how often to c-bet on these flops as the preflop aggressor? And are you familiar with the (very aggressive) response you should use as the player in the big blind facing a bet?
Mike Brady and poker pro ‪@garyblackwoodpoker‬ cover the fundamentals of paired flops in this episode of Upswing Poker Level-Up, including some tips for multiway pots.

    I love Mike's detailed explanation about GTO vs live bet sizes @~10:26, and Gary's reaction to Mike extoling viewers not to ship-it with Q7s 'cause Upswing said so. Decisions like these are so very contextual. A read helps, but knowing your own table image can be invaluable in marginal situations.

    The funny thing is, GTO still has an answer for every bet size So it’s not that you’re actually leaving GTO if your opponent does something “unexpected”. It’s just that we as humans tend to focus on studying the “common” branches. But in reality, your opponent can do anything they want (no matter how terrible for themselves), and GTO will still give the optimal response, if you look for it As for the particular example at hand, adjusting is pretty straightforward. Even if you’ve never seen or expected that branch, and your opponent suddenly makes a much larger bet size than they’re “supposed” to in this spot, GTO already teaches us heuristics about this. Namely, larger bets don’t need to be “defended” as often. So if they bet “too big”, then it’s rather clear that you’re going to raise/call less, and fold more. Nothing too fancy about it (Point being, studying the “common” branches is still an effective tool. Because if the opponent is more aggressive or less aggressive than they’re “supposed” to be in any spot, then we already have general GTO heuristics that specifically show us how to modify our response)

    Nice vid guys thanks. Also Mike's insights about playing vs low level non-GTO opponents is excellent, thanks for those added insights! BTW: Found this from link inside the Upswing Lab.

    Hi, I'm not sure I understand your question but I think you're asking if the modules in the Lab also have slides with text to help you follow along? The answer to that question is that some of them have slides while others have different visual aids.

    So when you say you are c betting 75% of the time with your range...what determines the 75/25% of the time....does this mean, your betting your 75%of best hands on the pre flop chart? So if you have KQ Late pos, raise and flop comes 99x....we are only c betting 75% of the time? I am a little lost of with this.

    How come gto wizard is checking à lot more up to 50% on many of the high paired flops? And on 22 and 33 flops betting much more often upto 90%/range bet

    Tough to answer without seeing their specific sims. Could be that their rake structure is high so the BB's range is stronger. Could be that you're looking at a different positional matcup. Or could be that those particular GTOW sims have a relatively high exploitability level and needed to be ran for longer (which happens sometimes on that product from what I've heard).

    My question is..... does this strategy work when it's multi way? 3-4 ppl/callers?

    I usually back everything up in these podcasts with referencing a solver, and there aren't any multiway solvers that I have access to, but my intuition tells me that first and foremost there are going to be almost no scenarios where you want to rangebet on any paired boards, maybe if you're 3 ways to the flop but 4/5/6+ ways I wouldn't be rangebetting. Obviously when there are more players in the pot the likeliness of someone else holding trips increases, even on a good board for us like AA6 rainbow. To go one step further, instead of cbetting, say, 50% of the time on 655, this frequency will drastically decrease because this is a bad paired board for us, and lots of those callers can for sure have a 5 in their hand. In summary - I don't think we should ever bet always on any paired board multiway, and on the bad paired boards we should be checking even more! PS keep your eyes peeled for some multiway flop discussion VERY soon :)
