At 27:00 both hands on the bottom tables I would have bet on the river about 1/4 pot especially the hand on the bottom left where you 3 bet an UTG raise. Very likely he has hands like 6s-Js and like you said you block AQ and AK (which you chop with anyhow). Also AJs is in his range which you beat. I agree with you that it is a tough spot when raised on the river however and you would have to call it off. It might just be you were timing down a bit and it is hard to make quick and smart decisions with little time while making a video. You thoughts?
I really like the HUD btw...where can I get the same layout?
AQ on the bottom left: i still think this is a very good hand to checkcall vs a decent player, because good players will probably not call you very often with Tx and Jx gets bet often on the flop. i dont like to bet very small since i also dont want to bet small with my entire range, and only betting the marginal hands open up ourselfes for bluffraises. against very stationy players i would just bet.
AK bottom left: i think i also said it in the video that i should bet, especially given that we block AQ/KQ and can def get value from worse. also if we would have gotten there with a T9s hand we would probably like to bluff too. so here i would bet, here its also ok to bet small cause we rep a fairly weak range anyway. so i would bet and call a shove as general play.
for the hud, i dont want to give it out for free since i put a lot of work into it, but i sell it for 50$ if youre interested.
yeah but his results are in tournaments this is a cash game. Timex couldn't even beat 2.5/5 zoom and his results are a lot better than Big Huni's.
i get what you mean though haha.
just from judging what ive seen so far, but weaker player doesnt also really mean weak, just some leaks in very specific spots, or also general tendencies. also since i dont think i have very many hands on him, i have to take what i have and make a decision based on that.
at 8:30 AQo in BU you do 4bet / call because the villain 3bet 26%. From how many % can do 4bet / call in these situations? 20%?
at 8:25 and at other times you continuation bet 1/3 pot on the flop with peers: 992 (665), what reason this cbet 1/3? by value would also make 1/3? we can turn to bet strong villain does call flop?
sometihng around 20% also a little dependent on reads about that player shoving pre and positions.
about 8.25: yes i will of course cbet my entire range with this sizing. turn i def bet normal. just on this type of flop i think its more important these days to protect and whenever you want to bet for protection you want to bet small.
Nice Video: I like the format as you maintained a fast pace, and you had plenty of interesting spots to discuss.
8:28 with AQ on the button:
I was also wondering about the AQ hand. Is it automatically profitable to 4 bet call it off in this situation because his 3 bet from sb vs. button is 26%? This is player dependent right? It seems like a lot of guys that 3 bet light can be pretty tight about jamming over 4 bets, with a range as tight as QQ to AA, AK. I’m not playing in the zoom games, but personally, I would usually just flat this hand preflop unless I know he’s loose with his 5bets, even if he is very wide with 3 bets.
normally you are right AQ is a flat to a 3bet, but i think 26% is that loose that if correctly balanced with 4bet bluffs AQ becomes a 4bet/call.
a flat call is definitly profitable too, i just think when the 3bet ranges get too wide you can creat more ev with AQ by 4betting and also having more 4bet bluffs, but i could be wrong there.
also obv not doing this as a standard.

I also think raising would be very good.
What size would you use if you chose to raise?
Sometimes I find myself in a spot like this and by the time I realize raising might be best I have few seconds left, and opt to fold, reason being I'm afraid that I gave away timing tell by tanking. Is this just me? I know that if this would make him bluffcatch wider I should just do this with value etc. but still.
BTW for some reason I find it kinda hard to read potsizes, and betsizes in the vid.
if i raise i would just raise pot or something.
i think if its important or not with timing/tanking tells depends on your opponents and how they view you. since im playing 8 tables of zoom it happens quiet often that the timebank goes on, so that doesnt really mean anything so i also can still do whatever i want to.
on the other side i decided not to because this bet on the river seemed very strange and i dont think he would be bluffing very often, it somehoe felt weird everything.
normally i defend this, but he made it really large and also was not fullstacked but more like 70bb only. not really sure if thats a good peel oop, i think its close, could also be a 4bet.

Not sure if I would call Big Huni a "weaker player" :P

Yep, being mostly mtt-player myself got your point there of course. Anyway, "weaker player" still made me smile =)

At 4:50 you just snap fold 78s an vs co 3 bet Is this not a profitable defend?
normally i defend this, but he made it really large and also was not fullstacked but more like 70bb only. not really sure if thats a good peel oop, i think its close, could also be a 4bet.
Very solid video, like it so much and thank you!
could you explain your betsizing? I see you sometimes cbet 35% oop but dont really understand why
normally i only do this on paired boards to bet my entire range, because on these boards with a lot of hands i want to bet for protection.
