we do have a good blocker hand but we can't really utilize it because we don't have many value hands in our range. we can't really have 99, TT, or JJ because those would prob raise pre or bet at some point, and 66, T6, JT, T9 are most likely betting either flop or turn. so we are just repping the off chance that we check/called a 2pair or set on turn. would expect this play to be very bluff heavy.
i think this hand is somewhat close to the top of our range in hand strength, the only better hands seem to be either AhXh or KhXh, basically hands that had both SDV and draw equity to check/call turn. however i'm not sure if nut flush wants to bet/jam here. we could just not have a bet/jam range because of how few boats we have.
also i agree with neilly, betting turn seems good after flop checks through. we prob have the best hand, and it needs protection. when we bet turn and then bet river, we can 3bet bluff vs a raise much more credibly, because with a turn betting range we can easily have hands like JT, T6, T9 by the river |
