6:35, you don't jam the nuts in order to gather some information, if you jam and he calls you with the nuts then you still gather the same information. I could see a point to avoid rake, but still seems like a shove to me.
I don't think he ever puts more money into the pot without nuts so I thought its better to call in order to see what type of hand he choosed to bluff with which we can't see by jamming.
@17:00 i feel your hand is a perfect betting candidate as it has all the necessary requirements for it, it can both get some protection/value for the occasional Nut Flushdraw that didn’t get it in on the flop plus other flushdraws +straightdraws or two pair (even though you block it pretty hard), AND it is a hand that is doing very well against the nuts (plus you block a J).
You’re only argument for checking is to letting him bet out his potencial bluffs like QQ and JJ but the only problem is given his tight preflop range (as you said) his QQ and JJ will often be accompanied by a J or a Q (respectively) for the nuts or have some flushdraw/gutter or a K for additional showdown value and will want to check back the turn for a free card a reasonable amount of the time, plus with those stack sizes QJ will always shove facing a bet so you CAN potentially get two bets in and get paid on a brick river (potentially, not very often though).
My conclusion is, I don’t see the pros of checking this spot outweighing the pros of betting it...
My tendency has been to bet in these spots at a very high frequency, I’m a missing something?
Sorry for the long comment, hopefully you’ll have time to reply, and thank you for the video!
Keep up the good work
Again @22:00 we find a similar spot as the one i mentioned before (that seems to be your tendency), where you check a hand that can both get some protection and value from worse hands plus it is doing VERY well against the nuts, however in this spot we find an even bigger argument for betting as we will want to bluff at it somewhat aggressively on the turn as the Villan shouldn’t have many strong hands (KJ/J8) in his range when the 9 peels of on the turn considering his tight UTG range and his check on the QT7r board, sure he will have to check the occasional KJ (like KKjx with no BFDs) for pot control and to have nutted hands on turns like this one when checking the flop IP, and the occasional AAJ8 for example, but like i said, even then we are doing fine with our hand eq wise.
So, again, I don’t see the pros of checking outweighing betting, i guess another argument is you can let some dry kings barrel of the turn and river, but still, not sure we will make more money by checking.
