How would you play this hand in my (hero's) position?

How would you play in villain's position?



Ok, I imported this hand from GGPoker to GTO Wizard (as I'm trying to learn how to use it gradually) to see how we should have played these hand according to the game teory.

But, first, we need to know that this spot will not be analysed exactly how it was played (due to the GTO Wizard limitations and due both players teory deviations).



I used this initial configuration to analyze how we played our hands:



Pre-flop action:



UTG Range + EV (Red=2.5bb):



As you can see in the hand replayer at the post beginning, villaing got As3s (His GTO ace bottom range), but I think no one will open with this exact GTO range in NL2 R&C/Zoom and with these correct open/fold frequencies (even using RNG to help).

SB Range + EV (Red=11bb and Green=Call):



As you can see below, I was not wrong by calling this hand OOP againt UTG (the numbers are the percentages I should merge to play this hand, so I only should fold 25.8% here):





Flop action:



SB 1st action frequencies:



UTG action frequencies:



SB 2nd action frequencies:

Turn action:



SB 1st action frequencies:



UTG action frequencies:



SB 2nd action frequencies:

River action:



SB 1st action frequencies:



UTG 1st action frequencies:



SB 2nd action frequencies:



UTG 2nd action frequencies:



Omg, would you fold 72% here? Let's be honest... I think it's possible to fold sometimes, but it's really hard to do actually do this at the session...

This is the last UTG range of action (Green=Call and Blue=Fold):



How many hands would you pay here (with suits included)?

 

[Hospedar]

I'm happy because I naturally found the best line to extract more value with my 88 quads; I know the fact of the villain completing an A flush helped me a lot, but I was thinking to keep this line to not make him fold his bluffs and his medium hands (I was seeing more bluffs than medium hand at that board, with villain playing IP against me and with those polarized bet sizes).

At this buy-in level your V are not going to call a XR very often with bluff catchers then keep calling more streets as they do not play like a solver- so calling flop so that they feel confident to keep betting or improve is the correct move vs most V at this level of play.

Dont think there is that much to analyse here. You pretty much coolered the opponent and got his stack. Well done. As the solver suggest, he could perhaps have folded to your river raise, since it was a huge overbet. But not many players are going to do that at 2NL, and I would also be kind of hesitant given the chance, that an unknown 2NL player might be overvaluing some hands, that are worse than the nut flush.

The way you posted this hand turns the analysis very hard to do. But considering that we have the nuts and this is a very standard and not usual hand, there isn't much to observe.
