Liked before watching ! :D Thx Zaza
Hello Zaza,
Great video as always ! :) Happy new year !
I like your introduction. Please please, if you have some good stuffs like that you like to talk about, do it !!
I do agree that consistency is really important. Do you have something you like to do before a session ? Like meditation or something ?
I also like your positive mind about future of poker. It is refreshing to hear that ! Everybody is so so pessimistic nowadays.
Hand 1:
Preflop
I usually flat JTs.
My strategy is like flatting most suited broadway (AJs-, KQs-) and 3bet some good broadway (AQs+) with some suited connectors/one gappers (76s, 56s etc.).
Any thoughts on that ?
I really struggle with this SB vs CO spots and I have observed many variations by doing database analysis.
Also, I do not know what is a high squeeze percentage for BB that will make us 3betting more than flatting.
Flop
Don't you think it is too loose to cbet this combo without a bdfd ? It also allow us to have some straight in our range if we choose xC. I will also xC/xR most of my range on that board texture and with those positions because I feel like this board is smashing his range.
Hand 2:
I like your analysis especially for IP !
Hand 3:
Love it :)
Great hand selection ! GL in 2016 :)
thank you!!
I will keep that in mind in future.
No I'm better the preaching part than the executing part. :) I try not to play on a full stomache. I usually prefer to play on an empty stomache and drink some tea on the side. That seems to work best for me.
hand1: that seems like a legitimate preflop strategy, I would still adjust it to opening sizes. the bigger the open the more id be inclined to 3b or fold.
High preflop sqz % ? I would guess everything over 15%. but dont quote me on that, I would just think about a 3b range vs co and make it a bit wider cos of the deadmoney in the pot and how sb range is usually face up.
flop: I dont think its that close, we dont have sdv with jhigh , but we have a gutshot and 2 overs to middle pairs , which is good enough to cbet here. Its also not a flop he has that many 2pair on or a straight.
I mean smashes is a bit of an exagaration. We can still cbet this board at a high frequency.U dont need this combo in ur check calling range. u can use j10dd for example to mix it up.
this introduction is pure gold, thanks Zaza
You mention you are 3x btns nowadays. I also noticed your opening smaller in all other positions besides btn. Possible you please elaborate on this?
I've changed my preflop sizes frequently lately. I was looking to open wider in early position so i made my size smaller. theres arguments and top nodge players using different strategies though.if ur tight opening bigger makes more sense intuatively.
Postflop usually smaller sizing=more merge=? weaker range,more frequent bets (at least in "value" part of range).
Why do you think preflop is the other way around?
i dont get how its different :)
Does that mean you are opening Btn tighter now? If you don`t mind me asking, what's your RFI from the Btn these days? Thank you in Advance Zaza and GL at the tables
minute 34 with JJ. We are repping a narrow range (7 combos of full houses, and ~ 5 Nut flushes), and were forcing our opponent to defend around 46% of his range. That allows us to have ~ 5 bluffs. Shouldn't we choose the QQ and JJ combinations that both have a diamond and lack the heart as to increase out FE?
yes I like those arguments and its a good way to control ur frequencies as well.
Yeah i was thinking about the same, very interesting stuff..
Hello Zaza. Really enjoing watching your videos. I would say that you are perfectly balanced by mixing knowleges and intuitive play. Thats how I try to play, Thats how best players play!
But..
16 min.
I disagree with your point to bet turn with AdK is better then AxKx. Its not a great spot to check call this type of hand on turn because: 1) our hand need a lot of protection 2) we still getting some value by betting 3) we have some better hands to check call turn with (like AdK, AdQ, KxJd type of hands, maybe KK?)
In general I dont like check calling with a hand that cant improve and we could potentially be drawing dead with. I hope you got my point.
The same thing with JJ on 23'44min. I prefer betting all of my combos 99-QQ on this type of board with 1/3 sizing. It means I bet 100% of my range. But if you want check some - I'd check some JdJx because of better playability on later streets and bet all JxJx for protection/thin value.
It's interesting what should we do on that turn in that particular spot, because I feel like we cant realy XC with no diamond but we still ahead of some of his flop floats. What was your gameplan OTT?
Thanks for your attention and sorry for my english)
Peace!
I think u underestimate how bad of a turncard it is. u shouldnt be betting much at all. even a hand like aa shouldnt be bet 100%. we are going to cbetthe flop pretty often , so we should consider building a checking range given how many hands we r going to have to cbet and then check on the turn.
then u should also consider how ur range is gonna play on the river. u will be forced to do a lot of checking and guessing on the river. villain will be able to play rivers pretty well in position imo.
jj we definitely should pay attention not to overbluff , cos its so easy to do so. I dont think I like jamming JdJx because villain will have more floats that float flop check back turn to delay bluff river. (qjo, j10d,) The only concern I have is that he might bet call more often if he has the aq aj with the diamond blocker. either way i think both have arguments for them.
Again given how wide our cbetting range is on the flop we will be doing alot of checking on this turn card.
