Analysis
From a GTO (recreation idea optimum) perspective, the 2 gamers performed it tremendous normal up till the flip. Linus ought to largely test together with his vary however together with his particular combo, he can combine between checking and betting just about any dimension between 66% and 150% pot. There’s minimal EV distinction between all of his choices, so his b100 is completely positive.
Kayhan’s particular combo of pocket nines ought to go within the muck, as he’s shedding almost two large blinds of EV (anticipated worth) by calling. If he had a membership in his hand, it might just about be a zero EV name, with the solver preferring to fold. In my opinion, Kayhan thinks he’s noticed one thing and has already determined he’s going to jam a whole lot of rivers.
On the river, Linus once more reveals off his deep data of the sport together with his correct guess sizing. Though Kayhan ought to have folded flip and will (and will) be folding river, shoving his nines is, in actual fact, the second-best possibility.
Despite having the queen nut blocker, Linus does block the missed flush draw, which ought to make up an honest variety of Kayhan’s bluffs. The solver says that Linus ought to nonetheless discover this fold and mainly name solely with two pair and up.
Luckily, we don’t reside in a world of solvers, and if Linus believes Kayhan goes to indicate up with too many bluffs, together with this combo of Okay-Q suited in his calling vary is a good adjustment.
