这个概念很有趣,能不能展开说说。 引用一下。2+2 A few poker moves are singular enough to have been given anickname. The New-York back-raise (NYBR) is one of those moves. It consists offirst calling a raiser with a strong hand, hoping someone behind you willattempt a squeeze play. You can then come over the top of the squeeze player,either winning the hand right away, or creating a big pot with a big hand. Thefollowing article will try to identify optimal conditions under which toattempt the NYBR.
Analyzing the downside of the NYBR. The obvious downside of the NYBR occurs when nobody attemptsa squeeze behind you, and worse, a few players use the opportunity to callbehind. In that situation, you end up playing a multi-way pot, witha bad position, and a hand you might have trouble to let go on the flop. More importantly, in that case, you have lost all chances toget multiple raises in before the flop. Having identified our main downside risk drives us directlyto our next point.
Do not attempt the NYBR after a tight player open-raised. When a tight player open-raises, he is in general givencredit for a strong hand. This tends to discourage squeeze play, because therisk of getting 4-bet, even as a bluff, are quite high. This in turns meansthan attempting a NYBR in those conditions will normally results in asingle-raised pot, not exactly a great result for a great hand. Even more importantly, you want to 3-bet a tight player withyour excellent hands, because the tightness of his range means you are morelikely than usual to be 4-bet. Overall, the tight player is not a good customer for theNYBR.
So what are the ideal conditions? The starting point of the NYBR is an open-raise from a looseplayer. After you just cold-call his raise, most good player will start lickingtheir chops at the coming juicy squeeze play. They know the original openerdoes not rate to have much, and you probably have nothing either as the best youcould do was to call a weak open. Obviously, the more aggressive the players behind you, thebetter. You are especially looking for very aggressive blinds, as they are themost likely to attempt a squeeze play. Finally, the more players behind you, the better, as itmultiplies the chance that someone will go for a 3-bet. Note in passing that when a loose player opens and you3-bet, he will often be folding to your 3-bet, effectively wasting your stronghand.
Sizing the NYBR. Let’s say you started with the usual 100BB, attempted a NYBRwith Aces, and hare happy to see that the BB is playing along, and raising the3.5 open-raise to a total of 16BB. What sort of raise should you put in? Often, people will 4-bet a squeeze raise out of sheer anger.They have been squeezed for the third time in the session, and suspect the3-bettor has to be bluffing. They stick in a big 4-bet, committing themselvesto the pot. This is a relatively poor strategy, as it will make the squeezerfold all his bluff hands, but will commit the 4-bettor to the pot every timethe 3-bettor indeed has a real hand. Here, we’re trying to give the opposite impression. Bydefinition, the NYBR looks like a weird, misplaced re-steal attempt. If you donot try it too often, you will be surprised hoe regularly the blind will go fora big shove bluff in that spot. If you leave him the chance that is! The worstthing you can do in that spot is use a 4-bet size that says I am committed tothat pot, and I am not going nowhere. What youwant to do instead is to use a smallish raise size, making it unclear whetheror not you are going for the ride, and suggesting to your opponent he mighthave some steal equity. In our example, a raise to 36 to 40 BB should achievethat goal.
Metagame considerations. The NYBR is a great balancing tool, for these few timeswhere you elect to just call a loose raiser instead of 3-betting him. Also,once you know a player has seen you go for the NYBR with a premium hand, make anote, and attempt the even more spectacular bluff NYBR!
Summary. The NYBR term refers to the act of calling an opening raisein the hope that one of the players yet to act will 3-bet, allowing to 4-bet. A NYBR is best attempted when a loose player opens, the gameis aggressive, and there are still many players yet to act behind you.Attempting a NYBR behind a tight player will backfire too often to be optimal. When 4-betting with a strong hand, it is generally better touse a relatively small 4-bet size, in order to induce a 5-bet bluff.
