'It's a small pot right now'

$1130 in the middle

made me laugh

hey phil, i can't watch the end of the vid, is it a bug from me only ?
the AAxx hand vs nimzon in which you 3b IP vs EP and bet 1800 in 5kish with a 1.3 spr or so, do you really think you have a bet/fold range w that spr ? dont you think you should be potting your continuing range ? (i kind of see too many players having a sizing tell when nutted w low spr like this, bet really too small w nuts and potting the rest of their continuing range)
your AAxx hand BvB against ilari, agreed on what you said about the ch/fold turn
nice vid

Like the series so voting to continue it. All great vids, though I did not dig the plo tourney that much. 10-20 and up plo cash, and I´m one happy customer =) Oh and love most of the tangents so keep on rambling.

Keep this series going!...pleeease ☺

Love this series!

Hi, I love these series, and I do have a question :):
I am not pro in PLO, but it looks like you have to high, c/r blaf frequency. And it also looks, that Rider realized that and he is very tricky and with high trapping frequency.

Good video

Table 2 37:30 Ah7hAs5s:
I like your analysis of this hand. One thing I think you don't mention, though, that could be of some consequence is if you think opponent is peeling flop with gutters. You mention that he is peeling with 456 specifically and likely all 45 combos generally but given how narrow ranges are already, a4,a5,56 are not inconsequential parts of his range. Do you think he is ever continuing with these by calling?

I suppose if he ever had a flop raising range he could balance some 3x with some of these. It doesn't seem particularly good though. Nevertheless if he were to both call flop with some of these gutters and maybe also turn some JJ-QQ combos on turn into bluffs, for example, those with or without clubs depending on whether he thinks he can make you fold AA or wants to only turn his hands with low equity in bluffs, you may be up to 40% on the turn. But that to me seems optimistic and the sort of assessment you have to make on the turn prior to your river decision. Otherwise it appears against his turn betting range you're at least a 70% dog and should fold.Without some pretty specific reads, that appears the much better option.

Love it. Good videos.

Table 2 37:30 Ah7hAs5s:
Phil, this particular hand, I was wondering why would you bet 20% into an already bloated pot, giving him a chance to hit a Q or a K, or a gut-shot, all of which he could be representing reasonably well? I would think it's more sensible to bet at least 40% of the pot (i.e. $4,000 or so), but obviously I'm not the expert here.

Second, why wouldn't you want to lead the turn, especially considering that you were check-calling? It would not give him a chance to bluff you (potentially) on the turn and river? Feels like it would be very hard to float on the turn by calling another $6,000 or so for him, and it would help you narrow his range as well.

thanks
