Yeah I think I prefer a multiple bet sizing strategy for OOP here, small bets will be good for his Qx/Ax hands and he can overbet his stronger value bets.
I don't see many other options for my range here - I'm putting in two ~.5pot bets across two streets if I want to get stacks in. If you prefer underbetting here (or overbetting?) what does that change about your value range?
25:04 on 894s why is is quite unlikely you have an ace of hearts after betting the flop? Are you checkig back your suited AX combos like AJ, AT of hreats and are you not interested in bluffing with hands AhJx or AhTx
Yeah, basically both of those things are quite likely. AT or AJ is very strong in my range on a 9 high board to bluff flop, plus I won't have a very successful bluff for multiple streets with nut hearts so I can protect my check back range with those hands.
Yeah it's a standard hand to give up rivers with because of high showdown value and blocking folds. It's fine to run two streets or to check behind flop, but most people would choose to check flop.
Great video.
- 46min : AhTx facing triple in 3bp on Td9h9s 6h 5s. I dont know about your choices over all streets, but looking at my ranges from preflop to turn, my turn calling range is already pretty strong (I fold all my AK-AJ hands vs turn barrel, call QJ and all hearts). I defend 60-65% flop, 60% turn (maybe that's too tight).
River we need to call top 52% bluffcatchers, I arrive with trips+ about 30% already on the river (I discounted 25% of the trips, should I raise some of them flop or shove turn). So folding all KT-JT and AhT, 8h8, 7h7 seems good.
Are you looser flop/turn so that AT is such a good bluffcatcher in your river range ?
You might be defending a bit too tight on flop - this is just over half pot. Otherwise, pretty normal frequencies. I'm a bit surprised though, so I would ask about two other assumptions before I do any sim myself:
1) How wide is your call3bet range preflop? Does it include 78o and how many 9xo?
2) Are you calling 88/77 without hearts before calling AhT on river?
1) Based on my understanding of your preflop range I defend a bit wider than you. I usually dont fold J8o T8o 98o headsup, which I saw you were hesitating.
2) Yes. Vs a somewhat reasonable shoving range, 88 77 perform better than AhT
Hey Kevin how are you? in min 8 the QTo hand on the left table, is this a defend vs this particular player? (and A2o in min 12:32) Is his 3betting range wide enough to make this hands a profitable defend?
Im late for the party I know but several spots interested me...
1:40 T7 on KJ73T IP vs river check
Would you have overbet range here Kevin?
Seems we would have straights and bunch of missed draws where he could probe turn as wide as Jx+.
I thought T7 is even a better candidate than JT since we block JT but dont block Jx or do you expect him to bet his JT like always and T7 isnt strong enough to OB?
3:20 K8o left vs 2.5x 3bet 40bb eff
You r/c pre adjusting vs his smaller 3bet size? I mean in very general case its r/f and you r/f similar hands vs Chaoren :)
Doesn`t shortened stack depth negate that factor?
11:50 K5o on 963r and 25-00 83s on 944r
You c/c both of them vs smaller cbet sizing.
Im not sure about HU but generally PIO proved such marginal hands perform much better as a c/r or c/f. (clearly a case for 83ss anyway)
I know you hate C/Rs :) but even talking about K5o in the aftermath (where you got to the river w K-high) you said you will have other K-highs and worse hands to bluff.
Doesnt it make flop c/c really queistionable when you dont have good BDs, have poor equity to improve, cant c/c this K-high again on most turn cards, cant bluff river on most runouts and can`t c/c as well to realise equity? Allowing even his air to perform much better.
27:50 Qx7x on KQ4r7ss4sss
You doubted it yourself and I agree w/ you that its probably better to b/f good Qx on that runout yourself (where its pretty weak as a catcher) rather than allow him to quickly figure you have bunch of Qx in your checking range and VB as thin as weak Kx+.
You don`t have relevant blockers but beat all his Qx- which will mostly check back, you also lose less vs weak Kx betting moderate sized bet rather than potentially allowing him to merge Kx into his large size (what eventually happened).

Aiight !

11:01, left table , in villains spot would you valuebet his hand as part of like a 50% pot sizing, or do you think that checking is a better play?
Yeah I think I prefer a multiple bet sizing strategy for OOP here, small bets will be good for his Qx/Ax hands and he can overbet his stronger value bets.
21:02 when should you use this bigger sizing which will leave only a 1/2 pot bet left OTR?
I don't see many other options for my range here - I'm putting in two ~.5pot bets across two streets if I want to get stacks in. If you prefer underbetting here (or overbetting?) what does that change about your value range?
what is a 5pot bet?
Hah that's hard to read now that I look at it. I should have written 0.5pot, or half pot.
25:04 on 894s why is is quite unlikely you have an ace of hearts after betting the flop? Are you checkig back your suited AX combos like AJ, AT of hreats and are you not interested in bluffing with hands AhJx or AhTx

why wont u have successfull bluff for multiple streets with nut hearts? cuz those hands for him often call and fold later unimpoved (like AhKx AhQx)?
Yeah it's a standard hand to give up rivers with because of high showdown value and blocking folds. It's fine to run two streets or to check behind flop, but most people would choose to check flop.
love it as always. well explained. nicely done
16:12, left table. Don't really see the point of checking flop and then betting on the T. why not bet flop (small) instead?
Same idea, but I don't typically use a small flop bet strategy on these boards. I do think it's relatively good on a texture like this, though.
Great video.

I have stars opened, I'll post the sim later
