/ 01 - The hand
The coach's question, the player's answer, the verdict
Flop 6-7-4 rainbow: Hero (ace-king) bets 11,100 with no pair and no draw - the decision point the coach's question is about.
Question 1
What did you want out of that flop bet?
I was counting on getting paid by AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ - especially suited ones, since I either dominate them or at worst flip against them. Plus I was counting on getting paid by flush draws. And since the bet put him in a fold-or-jam spot either way, that also answered where I stood in the hand.
Verdict
I'll push back here: the range you sized this bet for was reasoned out correctly - against AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ you really are either dominating or flipping, and that's a fair reason to want them to pay you. But that list - and the flush draws behind it - is entirely big cards, and you never included the third, most ordinary continuing group at all: any pair, even the bottom one. That's exactly what stuck around - the villain showed 5♠6♠, a pair of sixes, about the most ordinary call there is at this size. You had no pair and no draw - your equity against that exact hand on the flop was 18.5%, and even though the sizing really did put him in a fold-or-jam spot, that doesn't change the fact that your "who pays me" list never accounted for a bare pair. The river (a king) won this pot, not the decision - the +14,398 (28.8bb) result doesn't change that you were risking chips on the flop with almost no chance. Next time, when you're counting the range that pays you off, add the bare pair too - it calls sizes like this more often than it looks.
