Another great video!
Why did you make the switch from Regular tables to zoom? Trying something different?
Do u play more zoom these days? Did you make the switch because of the insane scripting going on?
In beginning of the video you opened HJ A9cc btn and blinds called and flop was 942.. you said after the hand that he should 3bet or fold his K9hh even versus 2x.. why so?
I would maybe 3bet that against loose recreational player opening but against ur 2x I quess I would play like he did??
although I m raising 2x ,my range is still tight,9k should be a bluff vs me ip,the pot odds seems good to cold call with ,but 9k is not good as 9ts and kts-kqs,btw the is a possiblity someone sqz at the blinds
Around 30min you RaisedCB with Ah8c BvB on K26r flop.
Given that is BvB and most villains will CB a lot this board, are you raising this more frequently?
What about a wet or semi wet board in this scenario?
Hi wei great video, with the QQ hand where u flop top set in 3bet pot on QJThh board and you check . Would it be possible to go into abit more detail on the check, i understand that you want to be c/c AA and KK here, but are you not going to want to have some value bets here also with your range like JJ QQ and AK combos, also it seems there was plenty worse in villians range that he can continue with on a texture this wet. Would like to here abit more detail on your thought process in this spot
hey ,sorry for the delay ,the reason for x qq is we block our value range sometimes,but with jj and tt I think it's bet more than a check,and also we are checking here with our kq aq aa kk most or the time.but betting is def okey,I would say betting is as good as checking at the sport.the board is so wet that we need to protect our hand,and there could be some value
AT 7:37 I think we have a good spot to sq with the KQo we dont really want to play op with QKo. Maybe KQs is a great hand multi way but KQo is hard to profit being op vs 2 players. I am not sure it is profitable but it could be I guess. Are you considering just calling cause you dont want to play QKo deep op vs the btn? I don't think i would mind that i think we are ahead of his range vs the utg and we are blocking out a lot of broad way hands that contain Kx and Qx type hands. More of his range will be pocket pairs and middlish scs that we aren't blocking. We have good equity vs his range but maybe playing op makes it not a great situation being deeper. just curious on him being deeper that calling is better?
at 9:10 of the video when he checks flop andbets turn I think i would raise not call. We block 45s and also we can still rep sets that hits a ton of our range very little of his. And any river flush card I will be betting we do block him having flush draws too. I think once he calls the raise on the turn i think hes got Ax+ and better at that point. So I would bluff some flush cards on the river and thats about it. But I think raise on the turn folds out a lot of hands beating us i think it should work well most of the time. And he also can't assume we are weak when we check back flops. So i think this a good hand to put in our bluffing range for turn raise.
do we min raise btn to get 3bs to be smaller? what is the main reason for min raise the button? We give good odds for sb and bb to call. Having position helps and initative so does that not make us worry about giving them odds pre flop and getting more value for 3b? I always considered instead if tightening my rangs vs heavy 3bettors from the blinds to actually just min raise and get a smaler 3b so we can see a flop cheaper. Just wondering if this is the main reason to have a min raise from btn to steal blinds because they 3b often and it helps with us seeing a flop cheaper. Love how you explain everything its very easy and quick so we can understand without it getting boring.
You min raise utg too? i don't understand that strategy your inviting a lot of callers and if you get callers from ep we are now op. Can u elaborate ur min raise strategy?
14:34 you check the flop on TJ4ddh. We do have back door hearts and since you min raised i think he would 3b TT-JJ a lot so i don't think those hands are in his range often. I think he has a lot of pokcket pairs 22-99 that we can fold out. Broad ways are more in our range so i do like betting this flop . Ithin kif we 3x pre from utg and he calls then I am more worried about the TT and JJ in his range more often. We only have 8 high checking can't win us the pot here. I think i would bet here and barrel any heart and any Q I am going all 3 streets. thats what i would do ayways. We also block 89s don't think its in his range often but it can be cause we min raised.
qko imo it's a profitbale over call here, kqo might not be as strong as a value hand to sqz vs btn's cold call range here,but as a bluffing hand it's def a good one. btn is deep,and the opener is at the mp, if it's opened at co I might sqz more than over call here,at the situation I think I would like to over call most of the time,but don't mind sqz here playing agg pf
55 is a call but not a raise at the spot imo,we check back the flop ,don't think we are checking our nutted range at the spot very often ,like 33 and 66 and 45,still we are beating his semi bluffing range,and got outs vs his made hands. don't think we can get him xx flop and bf turn alot at this situation
the purpose of openning a pot is to steal or fight for the dead money preflop,so if the opps are folding and calling the same range vs 2x or 3x ,which one is more good?the player pool of zoom 100 is not strong as zoom 2000 and 500,I think 2x are still makeing good folding equity preflop.78hh the board is wet the ev for 78hh to x or bet is the same in pio,so check to give up or making a delay bluff here
at 32:00 of the video i like betting the turn we dont have diamonds and he could be flushing and we get free show down on the river and deny equity against back door flush draws with over cards. We also block 67s to the nuts. But him calling out of the bb i think his range is wide enough we should still be ahead a lot of the times on the turn and we can still river gutter for the nuts or 7 but i think checking the turn is giving him a lot of free equity to the river we should be ahead most of the time. I just did a rough poker stove on it giving him around 40% calling range since we are min raising pre and we have about 65% equity vs that range on the turn but if we did take out some air hands probalby be around 60% vs his range . So i don't know if thats bad but i would bet the turn cause he is bb and i think he has a wider range and since we are utg we also rep a lot of over pairs as well and he might fold a better hand like 88 or maybe like Some weak 9x hands. If i had a diamond i think i would check though since its less likely hes flushing. Just want to see your thoughts on that.
I think you are baralling way too much than normal frequncy,yes 77 def could be a 2 barral ,but not everytime ,should be less than my line 35% flop, x back turn
I dont think I barrel that much leak buster actually says i don't do it enough. I am doing it more vs the BB who has the widest range of any position that calls me pre to my ep raise. If someone in ep called then his range is much tighter and stronger in general and against a tighter then yes I would check. Or if the player in bb was very tight I like checking. But without reads and we are just min raising pre I think his range is wide enough from the bb we can barrel. I did it on equilab we actually have strong equity vs his range going to the turn if hes around 40%. He is going to call much wider to a min raise. Math always wins if we have 60% equity on the turn vs his bb range that called min raise pre then we bet. If your saying its not a bet your saying your beating poker math and you don't care what his range is. Its not like this guys is in ep calling and has this strong range. You can say I am wrong but the math is right. Its definitely a bet on the turn.
If you think I am wrong equilab it and from that 40% break it down to what hands hes calling with on flop going to the turn your beating a lot of his calling range from bb. If you check back the turn your giving him to much free equity and we wont like many rivers unless its 6 or 7. And probably neither card will get paid off.
at 32:38 we got A9o btn and utg limps shoudln't we be iso the limper? Or is this due to the fact hes more of a tight limper? We do have The A blocker to AA and Ax hands nad also AK. I know we aren't suited but being ip shouldn't we be iso? 9 kicker is not to bad of a kicker vs a limper.
at 33:12 I would of not check called the turn I owuld of bet casue his range is capped and pretty much bet any river especially the flush card. I don't understand why your not betting the turn. He no longer has a flush draw or T i guess he could back the nuts with a boat but the boards to drawy wouldn't make any since. I tink its a great spot to bluff turn and river. Even iwth the flush card. That board hits our range pretty hard. WE can have flush draws/ 9T any Tx and even like some straight draws we can bluff on the river. The 6 blocks to boats too. I don't understand why you didn't turn your hand into a bluff. I think its a great spot to bluff there it looks like he checking back some marginal show down hand thats beating ours. like 9x 88 maybe 77 type hand.
Great content, learned a lot about how to more effectively play 6-max. Thanks!
I was also wondering at 31:53 w/ the 77, why is your play determined by whether you have a diamond or not? I understand you would have a backdoor flush draw, but why does that then mean you would call the check-raise v not having the diamond and folding?

more hands to play,which is good to make a video
my volume is not on stars for the past 1year or so

I will iso that in normal tables but not the zoom tables , the recs are tighter than normal tables
ty for answering all the questions i have been trying the min raising and it works pretty well to my surprise I am getting a lot of folds pre.
Im not saying other size is bad ,2x is def an option imo
at 33:12 I would of not check called the turn I owuld of bet casue his range is capped and pretty much bet any river especially the flush card. I don't understand why your not betting the turn.

I think its a great spot to bluff there it looks like he checking back some marginal show down hand thats beating ours. like 9x 88 maybe 77 type hand.
Sorry I don't think it's appropriate to talk about it here
