2/5; 3BP - Rivered nut flush 3-way on paired board - kind of weird hand

2/5, 6-handed

Villain in BB has about $500 and is super fishy, will call light and sometimes jam light with weak top pairs on drawy boards, or with draws himself
Villain in CO (about $650) is tight and competent, haven't seen him get out of line or do much if any light 3-betting

Hero is in HJ and covers both, solid tight image but still been pretty active

THE HAND:

Hero opens to 20 with Ac9c in HJ, CO raises to 60, BB cold calls, Hero deci

2/5/10 ; line check with AA 3BP IP

2/5/10, 1000 effective
Villain is unknown but seems at least competent

Villain opens to 30 in CO, Hero on BTN with AsAc raises to 100, blinds fold and villain calls.

Flop (210): 8s 6c 3d
Villain checks, hero bets 125, villain calls.

Turn (460): Jd
Villain checks, hero bets 300, villain shoves, hero calls 475 for pot of about 1500


This is pretty standard in GTO world, but I think there's an argument for checking back the turn

2/5; Unpleasant spot with underpair, low SPR

2/5, eff stack 800 ; villain is unknown but in a few orbits it's obvious he's very loose pre and will call large raises with trash. Postflop I've seen him make large bets, sometimes donking, but none of these hands went to showdown so I don't have a sense for whether he's just bluff happy.


Villain blind raises to 50 UTG, UTG+1 calls, folds to hero in small blind with TdTh, raises to 200, villain calls, UTG+1 folds.

Flop (450): Qh 7s 3h
Hero

4-Betting Bluff Hand Selection

Preflop bluffing hands included in 4-betting ranges tend to vary based on positions, but even then I've seen a lot of different 4-betting ranges being used in different places (e.g. GTOw, instructional videos on sites like Run it Once, etc.)

What kinds of hands do you like to use as 4-bet bluffs in in different spots? What's your rational behind using them?

Heuristics for after the flop goes x/x, SRP IP

I've set up a training drill in GTOW for this spot, i.e. a SRP IP, after the flop is checked through and we're checked to again on the turn.
It's a difficult spot to study, there's no way to get aggregate reports, and my results have be mediocre. Has anyone studied this? I haven't been able to find any distinct patterns as of yet, it's not surprising that it would be rather complex.

2/5, top two facing river donk

2/5, eff stacks 800, but one of the two villains in this hand has only ~400
V1 UTG (stack of 400) is unknown recreational player, V2 in BB is pretty solid reg, but sometimes will make loose calls pre

UTG straddles to 10, Hero opens to 30 from the BTN with AcKc, BB calls, limper calls.

Flop (90): AhKh8c
Checks to hero, bets 40. Both call.

Turn (210): 6d
Checks to hero, bets 140, both call.

River (490): 8d
BB checks, UTG goes all-in for 200.

Running PioSolver on a Mac

Hopefully this is an OK forum for this question.
I have a macbook with an M2 chip and want to run PioSolver. Has anyone successfully done this using Wine or VirtualBox? If so, could you offer some tips on your setup? If using VirtualBox, how much RAM and storage space did you allocate to the VM? What version of windows are you using?

I'm trying to avoid having to use bootcamp (EDIT: ugh, just learned that M2 chips don't support bootcamp) an

2/5; KK x/raised turn

2/5; eff stacks 1000; main villain just sat down and is unknown, but has loose, splashy fishy vibes. V in BB is loose passive

3 limpers, hero in SB w/ KsKc makes it 35, BB calls, CO calls.

Flop (115): J96r
Hero bets 75, both V's call.

Turn (340): 5ss
I don't really like this spot, as I feel like a bet is likely to just fold out worse, but checking is no good either.
Hero bets 175, BB folds, CO raises to 625.

Hero...? Thoughts?

GTOWizard's opening ranges differ from my own -- how useful then are the solutions provided?

For example, in 9-max games I'm never opening worse than KTs UTG, GTOWizard opens down to something like K5s with some frequency. I will also raise 88-99 at a somewhat higher frequency than in the range GTOWizard suggests. Other positions have other differences, this is just an example.

Can I solve postflop situations and still expecte the results to be applicable to my own game? What about the different kind of ranges villain's will be pla

2/5; sudden action on turn

2/5; eff. stack 1000; V is kind of loose and pretty passive; hero has tight aggressive image

V limps in EP, hero in CO raises to 25 w/ A4hh, only V calls.

Flop (50): A75r
V checks, hero checks back. Dry flop, wary of better aces, can get value from weaker hands on later streets when my range looks weak.

Turn (50): 4dd
V checks, hero bets 30, V raises to 80.
Hero calls.

River (210): 2o
V bets 200.

I think pretty easy fold, yes? Maybe even th

2/5 -- OK spot to bluff river w/ missed draw?

2/5, eff. stack 700ish, table very loose passive, villain is pretty loose passive, not too stationy though

Hero in CO with A9hh; 1 limper, hero makes it 20 , BTN calls, BB calls, limper calls.

Flop (80): JT6hh
Checks to hero, bets 65, V in BTN calls.

Turn(210): Kc
We pick up a gutshot to go with the flush draw.
Hero bets 125, V calls. The way he quickly calls flop and turn are suggestive to me of some kind of good draw, for the little it's

Donked into w/ TPGK

2/5, villain in SB just sat down and is unknown. Eff. stacks around 700.

One limper, hero raises to 25 in MP w/ AdQs, villain calls in SB, limper calls.

Flop ($75): AsKc7d
Villain bets 45, one fold, hero calls. I don't like being donked into here, but obviously not folding

Turn (165): 4d
Villain bets 100, hero calls.

River (365): Ks
Villain bets 230. Hero...?

Kind of a gross spot vs an unkown. However, what is villain possibly repping asid

2/5 overpair gets check raised on flop

2/5, villain is a solid reg, eff. stack $900

V straddles to 10 UTG, 4 callers, hero on BTN w/ JdJh makes it 50, only V calls
Flop(140): 8c2d3d
V checks, hero bets 55, V raises to 150. In retrospect I wasn't totally accounting for the $40 in dead money in the pot, but I don't hate the bet size.

Hero...? Plan for various turns?

TPGK on montone board IP

2/5, primary villain is a good player, doesn't get out of line too often, but capable of making aggressive bluffs. He often gives up when appropriate, but can also be a bit a sticky and aggressive in hands he's involved in. May seem contradictory, but is not
Effective stack around $900

V raises in EP to 20, one caller, hero calls on BTN with KJhh

Flop (60): Jd 8d 3d

Turn(180): 2s

2/5 Flopped trips OOP; triple barrel and raised on river

2/5 Villlain is unknown, seems a bit fishy based on mannerisms, is young asian guy. First hand I sat down he flopped a set of sevens IP as preflop raiser on a T73 flop, c-bet and got called, checked back a turn 3 pairing the board, then bet river when checked to and shoved all-in another 350 or so over a checkraise.

Villain has around $600, hero covers.

Hero EP raises AdKs to $15, only villain (directly to my left) calls.
Flop (30): KdKc9s

2/5 TPTK facing check raise vs aggressive villain

2/5, villain seems to be skilled aggressive player, willing to get in a lot of flops. Effective stack is $700

Hero opens AdJc to $15 on the button, villain calls in BB

Flop ($30): Js Th 7d
Villain checks, hero bets $20, villain raises to $85

Hero? If calling, what's the plan when he continues to fire (probably all) turn and probably many river cards?
Against a range of KQ, JT, 77, 89s, and maybe some 88/99 we have around 40% equity
