Please give me your opinion on how would you play these hands.
Please try to coment on your decisions as to why your move will make more sense.
Any help is appreciated.
#1- K/T/99J jack is the perfect kicker for the bottom and king belongs on top.
#2- This one is tough.... I used to do Q/35/JT but it's pretty gross bc the queen is a blocker to our straight. J/T5/Q3 looks harmonious and QJ/3/T5 makes some sense too.
#3- I generally hate playing gutshots in OFC but this is a rare exception where id lean toward Q/x/6458 bc we are 75% to get there IP. I don't hate Q/58/46 either since all clubs are live but our flush will almost always lose to our opponent's anyway.
Thanks professor your videos and comments really helped my game, i’m gonna comment because I wanna discuss some points and make sure i don't keep making same mistakes.
on hand #1 how do you like

Is my set up bad?,making KK up top with a T in a middle looks hard. our opponent is blocking an A ,do we pair the K if we hit it in the second draw?
On hand #2 since we up against fl I like to play conservative and try not to bust and give myself the best chance of not getting scooped, very often qualifying is good enough to not get scooped, we don’t know his hand he does not know ours either,so I like the harmonious set up best,

Q3
Are all the other options very close?
Hand #3 Our opponent is starting with a huge hand ,so is time for us to gamble , we cant possibly beat his bottom unless we get super lucky so Q up top is the way to answer 64 for bottom with all live flushes is nice we are gonna need to get lucky anyway our hand is dominated. gut shot is something i didn’t think of is a great alternative but which one is best compare to 64 on the bottom,which one do we choose?
Thank you very much!
I prefer jack in the back in hand #1 because it's a good setup for FL. We'll usually place king up top if we get it on the very next draw. Jack is such a nice kicker for the back because if we pair our jack we can make any two pair in the middle.
I think #2 is somewhat close because sets with a queen up top are inherently valuable especially vs. a FL hand when the QQ is more likely to cause a save than a q high flush.
After some thought, I like the gutshot in #3 best for sure. Great example, maybe I'll use it in a future video.
