Default Re: 200/400 hand vs. sbrubgy 6 handed

A few things:

1)the 1 c/r turn, overbet example aba gave, the flush came on the river, so it was a much better spot to overbet bluff. The non scary river card on this example lowers the chance he's bluffing.

2) Its also important to know Abas calling range. As AJeff noted, Aba is semi strict about not playing these suited connectors and weak suited aces OOP.

3) Aba is obviously capable of using this line as a bluff a lot, but the simple fact is he almost most likely never uses this line as a bluff and that has to be considered when putting him on hand ranges on the turn and river.
Its clear he ocassionaly overbets, but not nearly as much as Prahlad.

4)I really like the line Aba took.

a) by not reraising pf he didn't give the value away for his hand and allowed whitelime to stay in with an inferior kj that would have probably folded to a rr

b) he exponentialized the pot with the c/r the turn and made himself an extra ~ $35,000

Risky move but a good one for a variety of reasons but my post is long enough.
