We see the king of clubs, which means the only way they can make ace king suited is going to be ace king of diamonds, ace king of hearts, ace king of spades. Again if we think they got here with all of them, there are 4 unseen Aces times 4 unseen Queens , which means they have 16 possible combos.
If we thought they would only get to the flop with ace queen suited for whatever reason, again that boils us down to four possible combos of AQs since there are no blockers. Too many players panic when there are flush draws present, and worse, when flush draws improve on the turn and river. But if you keep blockers and combos in mind, you can use math to over-ride any irrational fears of flushes that may not exist.
At most, there are 55 combos of possible flush draws here. In this exact situation think about the ways that they could really show up with a flush draw here. This could reduce their flush combos down to a handful at best — and is that something we have to really panic about? A lot of people will panic about flush draws filling when really if you think about combos and you think about the blockers and you think about the actions that they realistically took, you may actually be able to give them a very reduced amount of combos of that possible flush.
If we try to figure out how many combos of king jack suited our opponent can have, again the king of clubs is spoken for, the jack of club is spoken for and now the jack of diamonds is spoken for being that we hold it. Knowing how hard it is to have a set in a situation is very useful when you have top pair against someone who is representing a set.
In this instance, say Rafi raises the flop vs our c-bet with the above range. Our overpair has Effectively using blockers is a very powerful tool when selecting hands to use as bluffs, pre-flop and post-flop. If we select hands with the right blockers, we can lower the likelihood our opponent will continue. Hero raises. BB calls. Flop A — T — 7 BB checks. Hero bets. Turn 2 BB checks. We Bet. River 2 BB checks — which hands should Hero bet with? On this board, which runs out AT, deciding which hands we can value bet for three streets from the button is relatively easy AJ or better.
These strong value hands are displayed in dark green and total 63 combinations. However, in order to make ourselves more difficult to play against, we need to ensure that we also balance our bet-range with a number of bluff combinations. We can use blockers to identify our most effective bluffing hands on the river. While not always necessary, we can also use combinatorics to make sure our range is well-balanced and unexploitable. That's three. Now pick the first, leaving just the and to pair.
Two more. Finally, the has only the to pair it. One more. Math is beautiful. So, six combos for each pocket pair. So far so good. What about A-K combos? If we give the villain all of the ace-king combos, then she can make one by taking any of the four aces and crossing them with any of the four kings. Of course, if she restricts herself to suited ace-kings, then pretty clearly there are just four of those — , , ,.
