Did someone tell you that was the right move one time? Did you vet the move yourself? You might be saying, \u201cI\u2019m playing range versus range GTO<\/a> here Alex. I blend my range. I check a certain percentage of the time, and I vary up bet sizings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s great! GTO has helped many players become great high-stakes champions. But it\u2019s far more difficult to teach GTO ranges<\/strong>. Range versus range<\/a> visualization is one of the most difficult muscles to develop in Texas Hold\u2019em<\/a>. If GTO hasn\u2019t done anything for you, and you mostly play low-to-mid stakes tournaments anyway, we can pocket a few exploitative plays that will help us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this hand occurred in a vacuum and was likely to never occur again, what would your answer be?<\/strong> If you have a different answer now, I want to ask you a question: Isn\u2019t that the exact situation you\u2019re always in live poker<\/a>? You\u2019re going to play 30 hands an hour with strangers who rotate in and out. You\u2019re rarely going to see the same situation twice. Even if you did, it\u2019s unlikely Dustin will remember the exact details of this hand. If he does remember the details, he likely won\u2019t know what to do with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given you\u2019re probably going to get to see this situation once, and one time only, what is the best way to exploit our friend Dustin? Now, think of that answer. But I have another question for you: how much would you bet on this flop if you have Td-8d?<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking to maximally exploit your opponent, and you assume these situations are occurring within a vacuum, then these answers should be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think about it: If you have A-Q on the A-2-4 board, then you\u2019re betting for value. What are you getting called by? He didn\u2019t flat the big blind with many 4-X or 2-X combinations. He has an ace, and he\u2019s calling, or he has nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make Dustin pay! <\/strong>You know, if you bet 80% of the pot, he\u2019s not folding A-6. Then, if you bet 70% on turn and river, you\u2019re going to win a massive pot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then you should bet 1\/3rd pot. He either has an ace or nothing. If he has jack high, he\u2019s going to fold to whatever reasonable bet you put out there. If he has an ace, he\u2019s likely not folding if you overbet the pot. Therefore, if you\u2019re looking to just fold out poker hands<\/a> like suited connectors, J-highs, Q-highs, and some K-highs, then you can go with a small bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, many of you are probably reading this going, \u201cthis has to be wrong! He\u2019s saying I should adjust my bet size based on what I have in my hand?! Then I\u2019ll be so exploitable!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re absolutely right. You will be exploitable. That\u2019s why you should work on GTO ranges if you ever play higher-stakes tournaments versus good players who are wary of these tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But in a smaller stakes game versus Dustin you will be just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"The](\"http:\/\/pokercoaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/The-Most-Exploitative-Line-Ever-1024x682.jpg\")
