On the AA95, I think your hand is a fairly clear all in, but 54 is a fairly clear fold with this action. I didn't look at it too closely though. Make the pot smaller or the SPR 3.5> though and you can likely fold.
Yea you might me right. Still curious to do some calculations to see how often will T9-appear in tightish utg/utg1-ranges. I feel like its more often than we think that either one has it in this spot.
I think Jeans opens tight UTG and 4b IP quite tight too. On flop I have him jamming in 61% of his range, the weakest hands being some marginal stuff like JJT and 57AsQs type of stuff, but 83% of his shoving range is still FD/2PR+. I have the deeper stack reshoving somewhat tighter, I removed the marginal 2pairs and all of the junky hands in Jeans' range I just described. Here you still have ~32% equity making the hand very +EV. Jeans' range is 16% T9 and I'd imagine the reshove range has T9 quite a bit more often.
Ye thanks, ended up with around the same numbers. Still somehow felt like this wouldve been closer to fold than I expected before I checked the ranges on this flop.
K229 hand:
what hands do you generally like to raise this flop with as bluffs?
I feel like making a play like you did with a hand that has basically no good turns and no nutty outs vs an opponent who does not like folding is just not gonna be profitable especially deep.
I wouldnt really say flop cr here is standard and it is propably losing in longrun. Like you mentioned, having nutty outs or good playability later streets is important. Feel like I was in a mood of battling on a flop and the rest hand played itself.
Im somewhat confused about our call w/ QT and diamonds vs JJ43.
I know you mentioned him betting turn for pot was suspicious, so once you bricked after the trivial turn call you were inclined to bluffcatch despite not having any great blockers.
I guess I'm just a little confused about you thought the pot sized bet was so suspicious.
I just looked at it and assumed that's what he was betting with his whole range (at least the portion of it that bet).
Is there something I'm missing that makes potting turn with his range bad?
This was propably bad hand to put in this video since my play is quite bad gto-vice and there is not really too much strategical to talk about.
This was more based on reads and dynamics so it might look weird. Feel like I couldnt find enough interesting hands at the moment and wanted to bring one up where I look like a hero :)
In common I just think potting the turn isnt something people do that often in spots like this, thats why I was curious.
Welcome to RIO!
First hand KT45sss. You say standard open from BTN. What is your PFR from BTN? For this to be an open you must be opening 60% to 75% of BTNs. KT54sss ranks about 50%tile. There are also hands like 4568$ss which rank lower but have higher playability that you will want to open. 4568$ss ranks 73%tile 3 handed (btn open scenario). Would like to hear why you find this a standard open.
You felt the xc on the flop was "odd" with QQTTddhh on K93hh. Seems like the perfect type of hand to xc with and a bet doesn't seem to accomplish much except getting folds from raggedy KXXX like your hand.
Thanks! I know many guys would fold this but I just feel like its too tight, especially against tight sb. If you are confident with ur postflop game this should be easy open.
Like I said in the video, first I thought its weird way to play QQTT but then took it back. I personally dont really like it since forexample in this spot by check-jamming he gets me to fold almost 40% of equity and by c-c hes gonna be in tough spots later streets if not improving.
It is not huge. It is insignificant. The maximum frequency he holds Kxxx with no A-kicker, no FD and no GS is 5%. And that's with a very wide opening range (wider than I would open) and also assuming we dont fold anything to the 3bet. (I would fold this hand in both spots PF). The only player that will have any raggedy Kxxx at all is us. This hand is at the bottom of his opening range and most raggedy Kxxx we open PF should be folded to the 3bet.

And please do a part 2 of this ;)

Zachary , i think getting folds from raggedy Kxxx is huge...

You rail someone for a few months, on and off, study a load of their showdown hands, and wham, they make videos for RIO. I frigging love this site.
Joni, play live zoom 0.50/1 or 1/2 and be yourself. 2 tables.
hand reviews are nice but im looking foward to see you in a live 2 tables plus and just explaining your thought process as hands develop.
+1 for live 2/5 zoom video. 3 tables + replayer works best imo
