You seem to value bet fairly large, with hands like top two on boards w/ possible straights out there. Do you find players won't usually be calling down with sucker straights, but are more likely to call down with middle two pair, making these bets have merit? For example at 14:00 you considered value betting your top two in a spot I would have likely x/folded. How are you so sure villain isn't calling down w/ T986 or 8765 etc., and your top two are good? Are you betting to avoid facing a decision if villain bets in to you when you check?
I try to adjust my sizing depending which fi Im up against, thats a really important thing at these stakes i think since the skill level is so different from player to player.
@5:30 top-right, really liked your check back OTF with overpair+NFD with an SPR of about ~2.5. Could you please break down your value betting range on the river there?
@12:39 bottom left, you lead Ad6dJc9c from the blinds after flatting pre into 2 opponents on Kc-Qd-4d. Are we leading here in order to "balance" our leading range with a hand that doesn't mind bet-calling just so that we aren't always leading made hands here? (as I'd assume we'd always lead bad KKxx combos/QQxx/KQxx etc). Also, does the BDFD and gutter lead you more towards leading here then if you had a dry NFD hand like (Ad6d8x8x) since we are more comfortable bet-calling with the additional gutter and BDFD for additional equity outs etc?
@19:30 you decide to lead again with AxQhTx5h OOP from the blinds after flatting pre on 9h-8d-4h - could you explain your thinking on why you did this? Also on the river it seems like he has a lot of Axhh in his river betting range as I'd expect most opponents to raise-get it in on the turn on such a draw-heavy board with JTxx. Its tough to come up with a hand thats in his range that would bluff this river (only thing I can think of is exlusively what he had, some sort of flopped 2 pr that picked up BD diamonds on the turn). If he full-pots this river do you call as well?
Correct, i really like leading there like you say to stay balanced and not only have made hands in my range. I never lead there with a naked nut flush draw.
To be honest I don't like my lead there that much because I will put myself in a lot of awkward spots even if I get there. So if I got the chance to play the pot again I would just c/c and keep the pot small. Otr I got a good price and been playing fi quite a bit so had a sense he might bluff / value bet worse.
4 tables is optimum, was surprised you went AI at 29:45... What did you expect Villain to have when we block Aces, QK, club FD, there are not so many BDFDs that call flop 3-w I guess, so it was perfect spot to induce I think..? [thinking at loud ]
Why did you bet w/ Quads IP at 30:46 "so small" which is 55% of pot not letting river card completes either flush (hhdd board) or some FH, why didn't you just check-back Turn and jam OTR if he VBs anything...?
Good vid and play in many other spots imo.
Thanks and regards.
ive noticed you dont steal that often in the CO but on the BN you open pretty much anything. Any reason for doing so? ive also noticed people over fold the BB but i still think your opening range is maybe too wide.
good video regardless :)

P.S. I also prefer the videos where you speak after doing the session :)
He's polarizing his range. If you are folding in spots where he is betting large, then that means he can bet more bluffs combinations.
How is two pair polarized? The nuts and K-high are polarized. Two pair is smack in the middle...

More videos just like this please :) I think this format suits you pretty well.
Thanks man appreciate it! :)

I think i will value bet all my ace two pairs + there, depends on which villains are in the pot though.
with the style u play, what is your zoom 50PLO winrate?
have almost 300k hands of plo50 zoom in hm and winrate pre rakeback is 4.6bb/100.
Thx 4 the vid Robin

I like your videos - they are improving - however, although I play 4 zoom tables, I find it difficult to follow you playing 4. IMO 2 live is enough.
Keep it up...
Keep doing videos in this format, really liked it!
Greetings from sweden!
thanks man! :)
