I was watching the 6 max online course and he discussed a concept that didn’t make sense to me.
in a 3 bet pot, when the flop comes low and middle and it’s checked through, then an A comes on the turn, it actually favors the raiser’s range more than the 3-bettor. This didn’t make sense to me because I’ve just always assumed an A always favors the last preflop aggressor because he has the best range.
However, now that I think about it, the initial raiser has all the Ax-s hands and even more Ax-o hands, while the 3-bettor only has the big ones. So the raiser clearly has more combos with an A but is he ahead? I suppose the fact that he’s sometimes dominated is balanced by the fact that he sometimes has 2 pair with A and a flop card.
Also, this is totally different than when the hand is just a raiser v the BB and the board comes, say, 9-6-4-A. Right?
Am I’m thinking about this correctly?
