At time 10:55, why do like to CBet small with UTG A7 vs BB on 773ss? Do you advocate this same small betsize for your whole betting range? What does your betting range and checkback range look like?
My 4bet value range comprises the hands that I am happy to call the 5bet, usually JJ+ and AK. The 4bet bluff range are the hands that block the calling to 4bet range of my opponent and his 5bet range.
A lot of people are folding less than 40% nowadays and 3betting 15%+ BBvsSB so this is a very profitable way to keep playing a lot of hands on the SB. I can limp any hand on the SB, just re raise the best and some bluffs like Q5s for example. At PT4 you can find the stat that how much somebody do ROL on the BB vs SB.
If the turn changes nothing I have to keep betting (very big I guess), if I do not do that the BB can easily steal the pot betting twice.
At 2.38 you 3b Q4hh in the sb vs a button min open. At 11.45 you talk about calling T8ss in the sb vs a button 3x open but fold because the bb is squeeze happy.
Do you rate Q4hh as a better 3b bluff here or is your choice to fold T8ss based on the larger opening size or villain? I was expecting you to raise this hand rather than folding it.
The 3bet of Q4s probably was because in the hud I saw 100% fold vs 3bet in at least 4 cases, I had only 102 hands but is not a big mistake to do that time to time.
The T8 hand, well I have played a lot with those guys, they are very decent and aggresive regs so I decided to fold that hand in the video :)
@9:28 left table AA
I like your check on river,
and agree we should be betting turn.
This would be a two/three street value game for me depending on river run outs.
Villain looks like a 21/12 ( not 100% sure about what the stats on your HUD indicates), which I think in general this player type will be weak and station y postflop(if I am right about HUD). We get value and as a result are hand is protected from bad rivers.
You said
I dont know if he is calling me with worse hands?
I think he could call with JJ( if he didnt three bet it), any Tx+overcard( stuff like JTs picks up a gutter), 9x/6x is open ended. Betting cleans up equity from hands like Jx, weaker pair. Thoughts?
As played do you think we could get value OTR from his holding?
But very nice video man, really enjoyed it!
Love the Avatar, brings me back :D
looking forward to watching more
9:28 I did not have to much hands of him, but I knew he was not a 21/12, he is something more std like a 25/20. So I assumed that his calling range on the SB vs CO was something like 66-99 JTs, QTs, KTs, KJo, ATo, QJs. And when I am cbetting that flop against two players I am not going to have to much draws/bluffs so he is probably calling the flop only with 88 or better and If I bet the turn again I think he is almost never calling me with worse. So now I like my check back on the turn with the intention to bet the best rivers.
If you were playing in different games other than stars, lets say hypothetically a really soft/ passive player pool. Would you adjust your UTG opening size from 5x to 6x?
It depends a lot of the table, but if you want to keep opening a lot of hands you need and extremely weak pool to open to that size. If you are talking about live poker with deeper stacks and 3-5 fun players at the table maybe you can open to 3bb your worse hands and to 5bb the best ones.

At time 4:14, you open fold A2o on the button when folded to you. Could you comment on your button opening range please? And @28:25, table 1 fold A3o.
The open folds of A2o and A3o on the BTN are very std for me. On the btn I open between 40 and 60% depending on the players at the blinds.
very interesting

Vs the BB on a pair flop I like to cbet small with my whole (betting) range.
@20:20, Table 2, fold 33 UTG, why? And @40:50 fold MP 22.
I think you need weak players at the blinds to open profitable those hands in EP and MP.
I agree something I have been doing on the regular as well...
@39:00 Table 1 CO KJo 4B bluff D 3B: what comprises your 4B value and 4B bluff ranges in this spot and why?
My 4bet value range comprises the hands that I am happy to call the 5bet, usually JJ+ and AK. The 4bet bluff range are the hands that block the calling to 4bet range of my opponent and his 5bet range.
i like it man u play some mental poker
At 6:35 you limp re raise 99 sb vs bb. Why do you prefer this to just opening and what other hands would you suggest you do this play with?
and to add to this hand. What are your plans if he calls on the turn if it bricks?
