Full-street games: when the opponent can bet too
Check 10 hands and let only 3 of them call a pot-sized bet, and every bluff against you earns 0.4 pots. Keep 5 that call, and his bluffs earn nothing. When the second player may also bet after a check, checking becomes a decision with its own range.
The hand
River. You check, and the Loose-aggressive player bets the pot with any hand that cannot win a showdown. Of the 10 hands you check here, 3 can call.
Predict first
What does each of his pot-sized bluffs earn?
- Nothing: he risks the pot to win the pot
- 0.4 pots
- 1 pot
Formula
Opponent's bluff EV (in pots) = (1 − h) × 1 − h × s, where h is the share of your checks that continue
