Hi,
After about 5 minutes in the video you defend bb and flop top 2 pair with 96xx in your hand and then you choose to just check call his cont bet instead of check raising. Can you explain the idea with not protecting your top 2 pair there please? In my world you essentially give up on the flop.
Thanks!
Robert
Another question,. after about 18 minutes you have AAT6 in sb and 3bet and then you continuation bet quite small. Lets say he decides to shove on you with his small stack. Do you plan to call him then since his range may include so much like AKxx, flush draws, straight draws, flopped 2 pairs etc or do you fold. What is the plan?
In general your videos and commenting is great but sometimes a little too hard for me as a non native english speaking person to get all the "lingo" and poker terms. I suggest you move down to 2 tables when making live videos like this one and spend some more time on analyzing and explaining and even explain the specific terms used. But just my point of view.
Thanks again for a great website. Love the new design as well!

Lots of questions now but that's the point right ;-)
After 23 minutes you have the 9 high flush and you decide to check the turn when checked to you on the button. Why don't you bet there and take home the pot instead of risking a two pair turn into a full house on the river?

Hey Robert,
Thank you for the questions and feedback!
Your first and third question imply to me that you're a little too concerned with protecting our hand in spots where we can't really get value by betting or raising. Against weak opponents, we don't have to be so concerned with balance, but against stronger opponents we can get in trouble going too far with protection.
Our calling and checking ranges will be weakened, and we open the door for them to bluff us in some very big pots. In general, we want to raise/bet more of a polarized range (strong value and bluffs/semibluffs) than taking aggressive lines with merged ranges.
As for the AAT6 - I was bet-calling. My price was far to good if he shoved to consider laying it down. The reason I chose that bet-size is that I will have some total air hands which want to bet that way and fold to a shove.
Nice video as always, here (in the sceanario above) you elect not to 3b/squeeze, what is you reasoning for not doing so? Thx in adv.
Thanks zuzu!
I don't like to squeeze with double pairs, as I think much of their value when 3-betting is lost once you are up against more than 1 player. In a HU pot, you can more effectively bluff on the boards that you "never miss" and you can get opponents to put in too much money bluffing or shoving light (hoping you have AAxx at best) when you flop a set.
3-ways, you just have to x/f so often when you don't flop a set, since betting into two players on KT4r isn't really a good bluff, regardless of how strong your range is on that board.
Hello Phil, thanks for another good video. I would like to ask you, if you could do a video or two about playing turn board pairs IP and OOP, I struggle with designing ranges on them, especially OOP. Thank you in andvance
