I am amazed when I see the amount of pseudo poker theory this forum came up with.
Range merging ?
Wtf. Its normal straightforward bet for value...

[Jay Riall]

I think you have the best hand a lot, but I don't really think you get looked up that light. A lot of people will interpret this as QQ+ imo.

[Teh1337zor]

I think its fine but wouldnt mind a c/c. (check to induce bluff)

[BalugaWhale]

what, you think 99 is calling but JJ is folding?
2way bets are dumb, this is for value obv

Yeah but the point is that he's not just betting the nuts or air here...which many players do. When you have to include value shoves like this into a players range, it makes them very tough to play against.

I like this...but I'm not sure how light you're really getting looked up here.

Here...yes.

I doubt very much you will get looked up on this board by worse all that often. You might be able to get some higher over pairs to fold.

Overall im not thrilled with it but it does seem to be merging a bit if thats what you want to call it.

I'm more curious if people like pushing here as opposed to check calling? (or check folding to a large bet?)
