18:20 KQ why is the Ten a bad card ott?
23:00 A2 what hands would you prefer to bluff otr here? Flush draws without the nut blocker?
27:00 AK don't you have enough implied odds to call even if he is tight here? If he has a Qx or Kx flush you probably get his whole stack otr, no? Wouldnt this be a good combo to bluff raise otr or bet ourselves if he checks?
34:00 A4s is it fine to call here vs utg since the bb is a rec?
thanks

FWIW I'm answering all of these without going back and listening to the audio/explanations I gave on video. I'm just watching the hands with no sound.

18:20 I still expect KQ to be often good. Though I do think that the T is a below average card for my range. Since I'm betting this flop at a high frequency and am giving up with quite a few hands here, I'll mix in some hands that don't necessarily wanna go b/b/b into a x/c range. I do think betting turn is definitely gonna be a play quite often though with this hand as well.

23:00. Yes.

27:00. (I had the audio on for this). I think it's ridiculous that I even made any sort of mention of him being tight given that I had 27 hands on him. Seems really close OTT. My implied odds aren't amazing against his flushes because I think he'll check a 4th heart a LOT (given that he can't have the nuts with my blocker). Further, against my bet on those cards, he's rarely (possibly never if he's not being careful) raising. So I'm probably only getting in one more bet against the hands I'm coolering. I also have reverse implied odds as well as I'm probably paying off a K or A.

34:00. Sure.

Hi Paul, thanks for the video.

9:20 : You face donk pot-pot on 872s5s w TT. How do you feel about shoving the turn? There are various rivers that are quite bad for you (A,9,6,4 and K-J on some degree). With so little behind villain isn't really folding any piece to your shove on the turn (99, A8, 76, etc.).

11:00 : You face donk on 987 w TT 3way. I think that raising is a viable option as well. Sure like you said both of them have some combos of hands that beat us, but i personally feel that one pair + draw hands make a much more larger part of their overall range (especially donkbetters range). And i don't really believe that weaker players would bloat us from the pot by playing their pair+draws extremely aggressively (for ex. donk 3betting with J9, 76 or such).

21:40 : You got A2o BvB. Your thoughts on putting some of A2-A5o combos to your 3b 5b range? As 3betting BvB im having a though time finding good candidates to 5bet shove as a bluff, and i feel these hands would work fine for this purpose. Sure they play somewhat poor postflop, but they still have some playability and they actually make some dominating hands to fold (A6-A9o primary).

31:20 : You got AT on AK7ss4s7 vs xb-call line. I feel against almost all players this is a clear valuebet, especially against assumed weaker player. Generally i think villains range in this spot is heavily weighted towards Kx, which can call but is never betting when checked to. Plus many one diamond hands that you hope that would stab might have cbetted the flop (for ex. QJ, QT, JT with one diamond). Sure occasionally you run to 7x, but i feel value from Kx outweights this.

33:10 : You face xb-overbet-overbet on KJ4ss63 w J8. What do you think about villains line? I personally like it, given many players have close to 0 combos of Kx in your shoes, so villain in theory could valuebet AJ, QQ and Kx this way. And i think many players are reluctant to call down with Jx often enough, so this might be a good bluffing line exploitatively speaking.

36:40 : You bet river on QT5K8 with AJ vs cb-xb line. How do you feel about creating a check-raise range instead of overbetting range? Your range consists of very little air which is a clear bluffing candidate (actually i feel you have 0 combos of total air). In addition your range has some amount of hands that are happy to showdown (for ex. QJs, Q9s, AT, A5s, depending on your preflop strategy ofc.). In other hand villain can have lots of hands interested in value betting (for ex. AQ, AK, KJ). Therefore i feel building a check-raise range could be a viable option as well.

Could you consider doing a hand history review where you do through some challenging spots in depth? Some interesting spots could be facing overbets, overbetting or 3bet pots?

Great Video Paul keep up the good work.
Seems like all my questions have been answered in the comments already.
My only suggestion would be maybe try doing a Post audio video - would be nice to hear a little more explanation about certain hands/spots while you not having to worry about the time bank and all. Just a suggestion, really enjoy the video and looking forward to the next one

great vid !! love the 6 max videos need more

1) on the AJcc on JJK96 3 hearts what is your plan for the river if he does shove ??

2) why call the flop with AhKx on 9h2h3c vs a x/r to fold the turn when out BDFD comes in

Cobra Kai 8 years, 3 months ago

why do you 3b 56s vs a rec player don't u want to merge your 3b hand range and weight it more to broadways and big aces? He is going to call with a lot of scs that actually dominate ours. I think it was around 11:40 of the video.

23:00 of video you got AJs why not just raise the flop. He cb the JJKhh board we are only blocking AK really. He still has other Kx in his range and also flush draws and straight draws and being op he can check back a lot of turns. Also when we raise the flop we also have some flush draws and straight draws in our range and also some Kx hands he might think hes ahead of. I don't think he is going to cb anything thats not connecting with that flop. I don't understand why your calling. I am actually some what surprised he didn't shut down on the heart turn without any heart equity. The only Kx hand that he is beating at this point that we call op is KQ we aren't calling KT vs often and if we have KJ we got him crushed. I really thought he had Kx or some big heart draw or straight draw when he bet that flop. And once in awhile he has QJ or something where we can stack him before the board gets to wet. I just hate calling op with a big hand when I see a flush and straight draw on board and K that we aren't blocking. It just looks like a great spot to raise imo.

23:27 im starting to get confused here yhou call 2.5x raise with 76o. You are op hes only 100bbs deep this is not a a great spot to call with 76o. I have played a lot of heads up poker and 76o is tough to play op. I think we can wait for better hands at least suited 76s something with more playability.

then at 25 min of video u call 3b with 66 from sb vs a ss player. Its just a fold. That is not a +ev play. hes not deep enough to call. I guess i could be wrong but i have heard from many 6 max regs these are not +ev spots. I watched other pros on here they are calling to to my surprise. Maybe thats the new thing now to call 3b with pocket pairs.
