the q9 suited hand, u say on the river we will have 89 810 etc that we can bluff instead of q9, why the hell does it matter? shouldnt we think, is he gonna fold if i jam enough ? it doesnt matter if we have 27, or 89 or whatever hand

obviously if you bluff with all those hands, villain gonna have an easy call with all his bluffcatchers and take your money quite happily.

oh god i understand why Zaza doesn't reply to my question now... this boss "wannastopspewing " is a world class champ.. how do you just come and disrespect one of the biggest legends in this game here? i mean seriously?

Good video Zaza. I like how you also include plays you think were mistakes and analyze them. I had a question about the hands were you ran into AK and the hand you ran into 2pairs. in the AK hand, from villains perspective, you said it was pretty standard. Now if flush draws completed on the river, do you think villain should still always call? I mostly play 2/5 live and I noticed people semi bluff their flush draws a lot on the turn, so when it gets there I am in a tricky spot with a bluff catcher...

Also, the hand your ran into a set of 8s with your bluff catcher. From villains perspective, I find it very unusual he did not raise flop or turn with a set.... a lot of action killing cards can come.. what do you think of his play?

Zaza 8 years, 11 months ago

It really depends how much villain 3b on the button and cbets. this will influence your play a lot on the river as co. That being said you gotta look at how strong of a hand ak is in his range on this type of runout as played. He will always call his ak combos down.

the 88 hand I dnt have an issue how he played his hand. There's nothing wrong with raising turn some % in this spot either nor slowplaying. it's probably best to play a mixed strategy based on your opponents preflop and barrel frequencies in these spots. A lot of people are going to be giving up river too often in these type of spots and bet call too wide, which makes jamming attractive. Just remember to keep an open mind about most of the spots as the best play will always vary based on how your opponent plays the spot. you can have a balanced strategy in theory , but that doesnt mean it's the best one once you have more information on how vilain plays.

Hey Zaza, first hand;
A) What would be good value bet candidates to have in your over-bet range, when having multi-betsizes on flop, which ones do you like in smaller betsize range?
Nh tho

Zaza 8 years, 11 months ago

most likely a10 plus. but you should mix those into your smaller betsize too. the stronger the hand the lower frequency you will chose the smaller betsize. bottom set is a lot better to bet big with than top set for example.

Britney Spears, so you are saying that villain hasd done intensive off table work to know exactly what range zaza is shoving on river? Its very likely hes not and hes just gonna decide based on his blockers etc rather than him calling anything because he has done so muc work on zaza dont u think?

PfefferKopf 9 years ago

Zaza was that the worst day in your career that you mentioned a few videos ago ?! ))

Zaza 8 years, 11 months ago

I dont remember how much I lost . but it must have been around 30k. But the god have been kind to me so i cannot complain too much.

Great vid and a cool spot with 76s. You made a great point with how easy it is to overbluff in that spot. Too bad the call didn't work out this time. But it certainly feels like a call that is atleast breakeven versus many people, and probably more or less winning often times.

Samu Patronen 8 years, 11 months ago

Also, that AdKd hand is super interesting because of invokers sizings on the turn and on the river. It really looks like QQ! I think turn is a spot where he would bet bigger most of the time, but with QQ specifically it does make sense to bet a bit smaller just because it blocks so many Qx and a smaller sizings helps getting value out of more weaker hands. And on the river with his small sizing he made you shove this hand for value, which you might not have done versus a bigger bet! On the turn I already though that QQ seems very possible given his weirdish sizing.

I was happy to see QQ in showdown. Not because you lost, but because my gut feeling was correct! :D

Any thoughts on this? It might just be that I happened to guess correctly, but what I said makes sense to me.

Zaza 8 years, 11 months ago

you made some good points about the betsize but I would be cautious about reading too much into it. usually players should try to revolve their betsizing around their range and not specific hand . but it does make sense. A lot of players even at the higher stakes still pick their betsizings based on hand strength or by trying to induce. betszing still one of the most under analysed spots in the game right now on the river and turn.

Zaza 8 years, 11 months ago

i will respond to all the questions in a bit. I have just been extremely busy with real life stuff and havent really had time to even play. but dont worry , i will get to all the comments. thank you for your patience

Jikos93 8 years, 11 months ago

Hey Zaza, in the first hand, you said 5X is the best combo to be bluffing with 3 streets, and i agree, but the question is, what 5X combos are we betting the flop with and with what frequencies? did you figure out an optimal way to do it? something like 5X with a back door flush draw or something?
Question 2 in the second hand the Q9CC hand, by the river when you were talking about your bluffing range to shove with, you mentioned open ended straight draw mainly and some gut shots, but base on your old theory videos, i thought the best combos to bluff the river with are the once blocking the main hands like top pair (in which case hands blocking Jx and Kx will be the best hand to bluff the river with), and hands like open ended , and gut shots are good to bluff flops and turn because we have equity but give up with it by the river since we are not blocking our opponent calling range.. so i m a bit confuse about that.. could you please try to explain this better? maybe this is an exception to the rule type of spot?
thank you in advance and Great video as usual, looking forward to read your answer Mr zaza , gl at the tables.
