not enough information, need more significant digits for all stats.

Just count combos yo!

You need 67% eq to raise since you are gonna call a 3-bet. Assuming he will call with JJ:

You have about 90% eq against 6 combos of JJ and 12 AK
You have about 20% eq against 6 KK
You have about 0% against 1 QQ
You have about 10% against 3 AA

(18*0.9 + 6*0.2 + 3*0.1)/28 ~ 63%

call down

If you can add KQ to his range you can prolly raise.

There is TT in his range, it looks too close. Can we b/f a river blank against an instant raise ?

edit: he takes the free card with Ak on the turn quite often and AQ is in his range not a good idea probably.

Re: TPTK on the flop, c/c or c/r?
 

actually,

90% -&gt; 77%
20% ok
0% -&gt; 2%
10% -&gt; 9%

63% -&gt; 54.784209185% (gotta be precise!)

Oh yeah. AK has straight draw and JJ has bdsd.

BTW that range I quoted is the tightest range we should expect.

We need to add AQ which pulls our eq closer to 50% and lower pp's like TT, 99, 88.

KQs is a possibility as well not to mention the odd tilt cap by T8s.

How did you arrive at 67%?

On the other hand, do I need 67% for any value raise?

BTW, I've checked all his HH and found he r/ced his AQo, so I assume his 4b range UTG is: AQ+,99+

Re: TPTK on the flop, c/c or c/r?
 

How much you need depends on how villain will react to a raise.

So you are in a river spot where you beat villain 99 out of 100. I.e your eq is 99%. However if you raise villain will 3-bet his 1% where he is ahead of you and fold any hand that is loosing. So you will have to fold to a raise

EV of raising is -1*0.01 + 0*0.99 = -0.01

So even if your eq is huge you cant make a profitable raise if villain is never calling a worse hand.



Now back to this spot. If we assume that villain will call all worse hands and 3-bet all better hands then raising will win you 1 bet when ahead and loose you 2 bets when behind (given you call the 3-bet).

This means that you are raising to win 1 bet when ahead and 2 bets when behind. So for this to be good you need to be ahead 2 in 3 times or 67%.

However. This is such a simplified way to do things. If you want to do a precise EV analysis you need to make a range for villain, assume what he is gonna do with each hand given your action - not only on the flop but also on the turn and river and on every possible turn/river combo. Needless to say this is gonna be a huge calculation and by the tim eyou are done you could have won 100BB's just playing instead.


So the 67% I quoted is just a loose estimate of how much you need in lack of a better and more precise analysis

I check call in these spots. This is WA/WB. You either have him reverse dominated or he's got you beat.

You need to c/r a guy like me or any other loosish guy with a wide preflop range
