You raised 88 utg towards the end and said it's awkward if you get reraised. Are you calling off your 60k or so stack if so. You said you just go ahead and fold say 44.
What about AT, AJ and 66 and 77 in the same utg or utg+1 spot?
I find if I jam 15-25 bigs i'm only getting called by better and if I raise they are hard to play OOP if flatted and if jammed on again there never in great shape. Also I play alot of turbos. How would you play this range, stack size and spot similarly or differently. Ty. I'm really struggling with this exact situation right now.
There isn't really anyone behind that can go all-in besides ozenc in the SB. Against him, I'd likely fold since I wouldn't expect him to pile many worse hands if at all. Against everybody else, they would have to initially 3b me and their 3b/c ranges have 88 in bad shape so I would fold. I don't think anyone is going to particularly go after me in this spot so I don't expect many hands to be 3b/folding to me but of course there is always that possibility. 88 is better than 44 since it'll play better postflop whenever someone decides to flat.
Similar logic applies to AT/AJ/66/77. ATo/66 could even simply be folded.
While it may initially seem hard to play these types of hands OOP when flatted, you shouldn't be too scared. You have a much stronger range than they do going to the flop and as long as you play reasonably, it can be hard to make a massive mistake when playing this shallow.
At 27:00: I think betting the turn w/QJs on the 3 diamond turn is better than checking because we can protect against pair/one diamond hands and aren't forced to a tough decision against a big river lead when a diamond or straight card comes off. If we get check-raised on the turn I think it's an easy fold. We're not necessarily being exploited by much we're ahead of except for maybe Ad hands occasionally, but even then those are so often just calling which we can extract more value from. What would you say to that and the merits of instead checking back our QJo with one diamond because we aren't really worried about a facing a lead on a diamond river?
I think your analysis is good. It's probably too cautious to be checking back QJ here when, I agree, we likely won't get bluffed too much on this turn. And if we want to be barreling a lot of our own AdX, KdX, JdTx etc type hands, we should probably have QJ in here to balance that. Thanks

good video but the quality is pretty bad.
The quality is fine imo. Whats wrong with it?
I think it's OK as well but I'll try to see what I can do for future videos. Thanks for the headsup

Hi Noel,

Yes, good video! Thorough enough.
I'd at least quadruple the voice track bitrate only. Would be much more pleasant to listen to and quicker to understand for non-English speakers.
I'll see what I can do about the quality, thanks!
Hey Brian,
