Great video as usual, Mr. Brad. I think one not could only learn from your game play, but also your imperturbable attitude about variance/bad beats. #nevertilted
Always enjoy it and watch as soon as you pop up in my feed.
Thanks man ... I love the positive feedback, it's food for my soul!
In the AQ hand where we got check raised on the river, is the Ad really a bad card to hold? Like you said in the video, we probably aren't percieved to have many flushes with this action, so the Ad blocker from his perspective doesn't seem overly valuable to bluff with. He actually has far more flushes in his range than we do, and so having a blocker to his somewhat narrow value range seems like a really good thing and leans my decision more towards calling than if we didn't have the Ad. I'm not sure if that's flawed thinking on my part but that was my impression during the hand.
Hey there ... would it be possible to provide a time stamp for said hand? My videos are recorded a bit in the past, so I always need some refreshing.
Thank you!
My bad.. I'm usually on point with that. it was a pretty big hand early on in the video at about 2:30 in.
It's important to note he CRAI on the river with 999, so I think his value range is wider than we might think.
I would still rather not have the Ad because I think his bluffing range is quite narrow and the Ad gives him more bluffing combos.
Do you/ have you played 10/20? If so what do you think of it, if not why not?
I haven't played it with any regularity. Playing up to 1KNL is my comfort zone and allows me to provide for my family, so I have stuck with it.
Two questions about both hands at 38:52
With the JJ hand when you 4bet, is that sizing standard? It seems a little too small and is laying villian good enough odds to call with speculative holdings like middling pocket pairs/ suited connecters. Or is that a good sizing because villian will jam all value( and maybe some bluffs like suited aces) and call with all the hands he is 3bet bluffing due to the small sizing of raise? And postflop, when the Q hits and there are two overcards now to your jacks, do you think doing a small/medium size blocking bet is a good play on the turn in order to check back rivers and avoid a spot where villian may bluff river and leave you in a difficult spot.
And with the AQs hand, what are your thoughts on 4betting this hand and turning it into a bluff. I understand the fold due to seat one likely having a more value heavy three bet range, but if seat one was instead an aggresive reg, 4 betting would be better than flatting correct? Is your entire range in this spot 4bet or fold, or are they some hands that you are going to flat such as 99/1010?
Awesome vid.
Hand #1: Yeah the sizing is fine. If villain peels with dominated hands out of position with just a little more than one PSB left, that's a win in my book.
As far as checking or betting the turn, an argument can be made for betting my range on the turn but one thing to consider when you have a medium strength hand in a situation like this is that if villain calls our turn bet, our share of the pot drops dramatically.
If he puts in the last bet on the river we can still catch some bluffs ... if we bet the turn a) Villain very rarely bluffs vs. my range b) If villain calls our equity is really bad.
If we check back the turn and villain puts in the last bet, he can bet with all the hands we would have folded out with a turn bet.
Long winded response but I don't like betting the turn. Turning the JJ into a bluff on the river maybe does have some merit if I knew villain has lots of KJ, KT, QJ, QTs type hands that will beat us at showdown (Even Axs) but that's a different question for a different day.
As for the AQ hand, it's totally villain and game-flow dependent so I can't give an accurate answer.
Min 1:20. When you start with 'I am blocking AJ and KJ' in a single raised pot I instantly got the urge to quit watching this video.
Cool story
Hi brad great video! Quick question during the 30min mark you decided to 4bet KTo in CO vs BTN 3bet? Would you say that a hand like KQo should be 4bet and KTo just a fold. Once Villain calls your 4bet I was Interested on why you chose that sizing? I felt like it was quite large on the flop leaving weird stack size on the turn. On the turn you checked your hand cause you would check AA and KK but would you say it would be better to shove this combo on the turn to guarantee to realize your equity? I feel like once we check turn we give up on the hand because we always fold to shoves and since SPR is low on the turn V is most likely shoving.
Thanks again for the great video as always!
Hi Brad,
What HUD software are you using? Thanks
