Calculate my G Bux

[YanTree]

I found that article a bit hard to digest, but the concepts are obviously profound. Here is a hand I played tonite. I am pretty sure I played it right and would do it again, but I would like to see somebody break down the G Bux and also any comments people might have:

$10-20 6 max. Effective stacks $3,000

Hero is on the button with

5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero has a pretty laggy image and has called or re-raised a lot of villians PF raises, never having to show down and rarely losing a pot against him.

Villian is CO and opens to $70

Hero re-raises to $250

Villian calls.

Villians range here is AJs+, 99+. Normally I suspect he would be tighter than this but he is probably getting fed up. I also do not see him re-raising his monsters as he likely sees me as very trappable. This last part is open to debate however.

So we see a flop, pot $530

A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villian checks, hero bets $400, villian raises to $1,200 hero pushes for another $1,550

The math here I am a bit fuzzy on. Did I make any G Bux???


edit. as for how villian plays: basically a non-adjusting TAG. he would win at a table full of fish but doesn't appear to have much of an imagination.

given that, i am not certain how he would play anything here besides AA and 77 which are both obviously hands he is calling with.

I think he would expect you to always bet this flop when checked to, so I imagine he would C/C or bet out with something like 99-KK. As such, I would prob check behind flop here... as I think he will still give you decent action even if a diamond hits.

With given information, I don't think he folds after making the C/R.

Well, even if the villian only has a 7 here, your only winning 46%ish of the time. Also he could be pushing a higher fd. With your read of him having AA, 77, or say KQdd we get; (.34*3+ .34*3 + .31*1)/7 or (1.02 + 1.02 + .31)/7 or 2.35/7 or ~.34. so your 34% against his range. So total pot is $6030 winning you an average of $2050.20, you put in $2750, so you lost $699.80 gbucks. Think about all the nice things you could have gotten with those...

I think the thing with G-bucks though is you match up hero's range (not just his 52 diamonds, but AA/AK etc.) against villains range

is this accurate?

you read the article - you tell us! hint: lol.

just so my post has some substance i will kindly add that boards and hands like this illustrate why it is necessary to consider your opponent's range when calculating g-bucks: many of his potential hands discount the likelihood of you holding the stronger hands you'd value bet, i.e. from 3 AA combos to 1 if he's holding an ace, from 12 AK to 8 (somewhat less since AK represents ~2/7ths of the AK in his range, so we must eliminate potential Ks from ours.. yada yada)

not sure about gbucks, but you should bet less on the flop if you're planning on raising allin. if you bet 300, he makes it 900, and you have 1800 more allin. The way you bet, he was pretty pot committed on the flop.
