It was a great play, you definitely max-exploited my straight flush draw.
I probably should elaborate a little bit more. A solver is going to raise that bet with a hand like Ah8h most of the time with the assumption that our opponent is going to play a balanced strategy with a weaker value range due to sizing and then call down roughly optimally. The problem is that in practice when people make super small bets, they tend to make them exploitatively often with the hope that they will be raised, because small bets tend to be correctly raised more often. It's also possible even that once raised, they change their mind, "because their small bet looked weak" and decide to rebluff.
Essentially the psychology of the situation makes raising with draws often the worst play, because the our opponents feel like they look weak, so they tend to overcompensate by playing erratically aggressive.
This maximally penalizes A8s which is too weak to bluff catch, but has to call the turn, which I think you could here in my voice on the video, because I made an avoidably 20ish bb mistake by raising.
26 minutes in, K6cc on 642dd: The concept of flatting in SB and flopping lower cards and being able to reraise to represent your range is something I have been doing more often in that spot and very possibly too much (although it has been working over a small sample size)..I want to know if flopping a 6 there weighs on your decision-making at all? If you flat KJ or QJ ever, would it be ok to do it with these as well? How out of line can I get?
The short answer is yes, it's really dependent on frequency but headsup you can raise this board 20% of the time and not be out of line. 3-way we should be tighter, which is why I think checking K6 here may have been a slight mistake. Shortest answer "Pretty damn out of line".
@27min AKo, flop TJx
Could we start attacking this flop as an exploit or would that not be a good idea ?
My thinking is that vs the population we should have more TT,JJ, TJs in our range and vs a check its more likely they have AK ?
Preflop vs a normal size 3bet is 4betting going to be ok in those positions ?
I like that idea Bingo, I think one of things that I'm probably too passive about is attacking this type of board in position. My general rule of thumb here is to play cautiously because of the range strength of the 3-better. However, I think I didn't consider that on this type of board, he's likely to play more straightforward, because he won't like c-betting much of his air, while likely continuing to bet with his strong hands. This should give me an opening to play hands like AKo here aggressivley.
@Preflop 4-bet or call are both strong plays. The sims I've seen indicate they are equal value and from DB analysis that they are very close in practice.

lmao @ 32 mins I had Ax spades and misclicked on the turn bet (I think I meant to overbet 50 something) then I just felt like going for it
