q for hu players: if you’re ben86, what assumptions do you make about wilhasha’s overall gameplan from this hand? i realize KJ is going to be good there (flop) pretty often, but I don’t think he can be calling flop oop with the intention of showing down K high vs a smart aggressive player? does it imply he’s going to be donking some turns and firing rivers that don’t improve his hand, or is it more likely he’s just calling for implied odds to hit a K or J (that doesn’t seem right but what do I know)?

i know this is oversimplified and there’s lots of other possibilities and it depends a ton on history. but i guess what i’m asking is: what are the most logical conclusions to make about his postflop plan from his play here, given both players are good and no other info?

thanks if anyone answers this

not much to conclude imo, you can conclude stuff when he DOESNT hit the J, when he does we dont know what his plan was

from the small sample of hands I've seen tho wilhasha seems pretty bad

hmmm how about this then:

if you were in wilhasha's spot and forced to call flop, how would you play the rest of the hand on turns/rivers that don't improve you vs good player?

idk, not many good cards to c/r besides the T, its a shitty super vulnerable spot to be vs a good aggr player

floating with KJ here seems pretty standard. He can c/f turns when villian bets turn and not get exploited because he is still going to have pairs in his range to call turn with. When he does hit a K or J villian will barrel off and get owned. Whereas if he just has Ahigh, 3rd and 2nd pair and maybe top pair in his flop calling range, his range is going to be more capped vs overcards(except aces) and he will not be able to face 2-3 barrels as easily since with every overcard ben will be able to vbet thinly.
