A full example
One hand, reviewed properly
An illustrative hand showing what a review looks like. Each decision is marked as good, close or a leak, with the reasoning.
No-limit Hold'em · 6-max cash · 100bb effectiveHero Button A♥Q♣Villain CutoffIllustrative example
PreflopPot before action: 1.5bb
Cutoff opens to 2.5bb. Hero 3-bets to 8bb. Blinds fold. Cutoff calls.
GoodAce-queen offsuit is well ahead of a typical cutoff opening range. 3-betting in position builds a bigger pot while you're favoured and takes the initiative.
FlopK♠7♦2♣Pot: 17.5bb
Cutoff checks. Hero bets 6bb. Cutoff calls.
GoodAs the 3-bettor you have more strong kings and big pairs than the caller, and this dry board has almost no draws. A small bet of about a third of the pot works with most of your range, including ace-high hands like this one.
Turn5♥Pot: 29.5bb
Cutoff checks. Hero bets 22bb. Cutoff calls.
LeakThis big second bet turns a hand with some showdown value into a pure bluff. Hands that called the flop, like kings and sevens, rarely fold, and the hands that do fold are mostly ones you already beat.
Bluff needs folds: 22 ÷ (29.5 + 22) = 43% of the time.
Against a range that called a 3-bet and a flop bet, that is unlikely.
Against a range that called a 3-bet and a flop bet, that is unlikely.
BetterCheck behind. You keep six outs to improve (three aces, three queens), see the river for free and can still win at showdown against missed hands.
RiverQ♦Pot: 73.5bb
Cutoff checks. Hero checks behind with second pair, top kicker. Cutoff shows K♣J♣ and wins with a pair of kings.
GoodChecking back is right. If you bet, worse hands rarely call and better ones won't fold, so there's little to gain.
SummaryHero loses 36bb
Coach's summaryWell played preflop and on the flop. The turn bet cost you 22bb: ace-high hands with some showdown value usually do better checking back than bluffing into a range that has already shown strength. Study next: Lesson 3.4, "Choosing turn bluffs".
