Regarding the J9 hand I like the fold. I prefer calling with a hand like j9clubs in that situation since we don't block potiental bluff combos that villain may have on the river. With the diamonds in your hand we take away bluff combos. I also think villan plays AJ this way and I don't see to many bluffs villain can have in that spot. Am I thinking about this in the right way?
My thinking would be I don't think you have that much of a raising range here. I think AJ plays better as a call and maybe a check raise on certain turns. I think the raiise on the flop can fold out bluffs that may double barrel.
Aj is def strong enough to raise for value here,cuz most of the time we don't have very good ax here,which means we do have some bluffs and semi bluffs here
I also found it interesting that you would have a raising range. Obviously if this is in the value portion you're going to have hands like JT or 76 that you can raise as bluffs but given that Ax boards are generally very good for the PFR how profitable is it to have a raising range?
Am I just being a bit paranoid about range vs range strength? Is AJ the top of your calling range Ax-wise? I think I would be 3betting it the vast majority of the time, is the weak player in the BB enough to make this a call and play OOP? I would imagine you think yes as that's what you did and if that's the case how much of your usual SB 3bet range would be played as a call in the case of a weak player being in the BB?
Hey, what do you think about check raising OTF with the 98s at min 12?
I think it's better than calling because you have almost no showdown value facing a raise and a call, there are a lot of good turns that you will be able to keep barreling with equity or for value (a heart, an 8, a 9, a J, a 7...).
A3ss 5:30 Table 2*
You go for a 1/3 pot size bet on the board 5d7sTs BTN v BB and you say that wouldn't got for a 2/3 size, why is that the case? I would have though this is a pretty connected board that you wouldn't be cbetting your whole range or close to it on. Is it because you expect the BB to call too wide and have too many x/f hands that 2/3 isn't necessary?
KQo 20:00 Table 1*
You just fold this in the small blind vs a 1/2 stack opening from the CO and BTN call. You seem to debate squeezing then decide to fold. Is this because of the CO's stack being small and difficult to play against? Later on in the video you 3bet 66 SB vs BTN when BTN had roughly the same stack and I would have though the same thought would apply. Is KQo too weak to play as a call multiway OOP in that spot? I would end up most likely squeezing and sometimes calling and not sure if that's bad or not in that scenario.
78s 39:45 Table 1*
You decide to check back the flop but to me this seems to me like a good spot to cbet your whole range as I think you would have a range advantage on this flop. You advocate betting turn but seem to skip over the flop decision a little bit so would like to hear your thoughts.
Finally you mentioned at the start of the video about the rake being high at NL100z but you also decide to have an open limping range from the SB. I would have thought that the rake being high would discourage having a limping range. Could you explain the benefits from having an open limping range in these spots?
What goes into your decision to overcall from the blinds v three bet from the blinds? Are we more likely to be overcalling against weaker players and three-betting v tighter players? If so, what is the logic behind this?
yes it's standard for all 3 opptions,to cold call ,we will need the bb to be a weaker player,
to 3b,we will need a good folding equity,to fold is also an option,and if he opens like 2x-2.3x,I think it's an option to cold call

Great video!
hi,I runned it in Pio it shows very small ev at this spot even for 9jcc etc with out blocker ,and due to the rake ,folding is def ok here
At around 35:55 you check raised with AJ.

At 19:30, table 1 you small bet for protection. Should we have a small bet sizing range on this board ?
of cuz we do,smaller bet size means wider range
why would we want to bet a wide range on the wettest of boards out of position 120bb deep?
Why opening 2x? 2x benefits?

Please share your thoughts and thanks!
I don't think I have so many strong hands on a flop like that ,cuz I didn't sqz pf,and there is not so much fold equity vs weaker player
I think you could have a bunch of strong hands like T8 (suited and mb off I don't know), AT, A8 and pocket 88.
Anyway nice video
Hey Wei, thanks for the vid!

Also, at 45:40 Table 2, we fold AJo in the SB to EP open? Is this standard?
yes it's standard for all 3 opptions,to cold call ,we will need the bb to be a weaker player,
to 3b,we will need a good folding equity,to fold is also an option,and if he opens like 2x-2.3x,I think it's an option to cold call
