Hey guys! At 9:00 I say something that might sound a bit contradictory on the 43o hand. I say we have a lot of implied odds, and then later I say he should have an easy fold... But what I mean on the flop is that our range is going to be very bluff catch heavy there, and the cards that hit my draw might not slow him down as much as it would in a more draw heavy board... So like if a 6 hits the turn, he is probably going to continue barreling for value with QJ for example, while if it's a more draw heavy board, when the draw hits, it's more of a "scare card" for him when he has the made-hands part of his range...
Hey Felipe. Awesome vid as always!
5min: we raise QQ utg BB defends, KTxd x/x turn Td he leads we fold. Do we not have to call once here? Feels like we will only be defending with Tx if we fold QQ now since we don't have many weak Kx that check back flop?
33min: we 3bet sb with Q8ss and 5b/fold vs BB cold 4bet/shove. This is a spot I rarely get out of line because if BB is risking here 33 to win 54 he needs to get folds 61%, so we only need to defend 39% of our 3betting range, if we are 3betting like 25% here we only need to defend around 10% of hands, then minus another 2 or 3% that the button still jams on him so maybe 8% so using Q8s which is like the bottom of our 3b range seems maybe a spewy 5b bluff? Is my logic wrong here or do you think villains over fold here or what is your reasons?
43min: we x/r JTss on 98x6dd and give up 9x river. villain shows up with K5dd. What do you think of villains play in this hand?
Hey okaygo, thanks!
5min: Yes, I think we have to call once and fold river. The T is just such a good card for my range, I didn't understand why he was leading and got kinda confused in what to do with queens. Also we block a lot of his semi-bluffs, QJ and AQ mainly. But I think you're right, that was a little too tight, and we're exploitable if we're folding a hand that strong on the turn.
33min: Your logic is perfect. We still need a bluffing range, but I agree with you that Q8s isn't the best hand to use, as there are other hands with much better blockers, like KQ or AJ. That was more of an exploitative play, cuz I expected villain to be a little unbalanced in this particular spot with this stacks, and the 5bet to show an immediate profit. But maybe I was wrong, I don't know.
43min: I think his river check-back is very bad. It's a very mandatory bluff, he has the bottom of his range, and he can rep full houses better then I (as I mentioned in the video). He can beat some of my bluffs, but I can definitely have some bluffs that beat him, like 87... And he has to bluff a certain % so that I don't have trivial fold with my straights, which I'll also check on that river, and K5 high should definitely be in that range.
18:15 76s, If we're raising the turn and follow up on the river with this hand, I assume we're never raising the turn and checking back on the river with any hand. My question is about villain's perspective. He obviously had a made hand, since the only draw he could call with (QJ) got there. Isn't he making a huge mistake calling the turn and folding the river, since he will never get to show down with a made hand?
18:15, yes, I'm probably never checking back river. But no, he's not necessarily making a mistake. It could be, but not necessarily.
If I build my range in a balanced way, I make him indifferent between calling or folding with bluff-catchers. So, if he doesn't know whether or not I'm bluffing too often or too little for him to call or fold profitably, he should look at his minimum defense frequency (based on how much i'm risking to win the pot with my bet), and then call a % of his range on the turn and a % of his range on the river, so that I can't profit with my bluffs.
So I think that the approach of "if I call turn I have to call river" can be applied when you know villain well enough to know his range is going to be imbalanced (someone help me with this word, I never know if it's imbalanced or unbalanced) towards bluffs. But if I have a balanced range, even if I'm never checking back river there, he should still call some hands on turn and some on river (not all of them), so that he looses the minimum to my value-bets without letting me auto-profit with my bluffs.
My next video (about blockers) is going to cover a little bit of this subject.
33 min mark table 6: you decide to 5b since you think BB will have a decent 4b bluff range and are deep...are you not really considering blockers as much here since the reasons you already stated?
Hi zoo this hand is discussed above
Yo nice vid! wddnt mind seeing more regular vids like this!
So much going on in the video, it takes a few viewings, I think it's better if you keep the tables at four. It's hard for me to see what's going on and your thought process is scattered sometimes. I don't want you to talk and play and make mistakes and lose money!!! I like the video though so thanks.
I think the best part is how certain you are of the decisions you make on the tables like even if some of the bluffs fails you are unfazed. In those scenario, I go "WTF did I just to myself????"
Nice video!
2,53 table 8 bvb with 97o: Both ranges are verry wide on this flop.
What is your strategy on this flop with your range?
I think this flop hits our range more than his, so cbetteing makes
more sense with a lot of hands?
4;49 bvb table 4 A8s
What is your stategy on this flop. Think this flop also hits
our range more than his? We have all sets/overpairs
13.20 QJs 3b pot table 9:
What do you think of how villian play his hand? DO you
check most hands on turn in villians position? and why?
2:53, 97o: I don't think this board is better for our range then his, this is a pretty good board for his range, and we have more overcards that miss (as he would 3b some of those). In one of Sauce's videos where he goes through a forum hand by Dario, he looks at a very similar board bvb on CREV and shows how great this board is for villain's pre-flop calling range. So I don't mind building a check-calling and check-raising range here.
4:49, A8s: Yes, I think this one is a little bit better for our range then his. But that doesn't mean he's not gonna hit it pretty often, which I think he will, and so we shouldn't be cbetting so liberaly. I won't cbet Ax, I won't cbet small PPs, and won't cbet hands like 67s, all of which have poor equity when called on this flop. So because of that, we still should be building a check-calling range, to protect ourselves from the times that we're check-folding. A hand like KJ would make sense to do that with, for exemple.
13:20, QJs: Yes, I check most of my range, because the 9 pairing is much better for villain's (myself on the vid) range. We can't vbet for 3 streets as easily as we could before with overpairs, so we also shouldn't be bluffing as often. So I'm checking it pretty often. I think he played fine.
Hi Felipe!
Great video with clear explanations,i enjoyed very much your use of CRE in your semi-bluffing moves.In fact there are so many themes it will take 3 or 4 times to assess this video fully.Thanks.
1.00, QTs: If you were 100bb Deep would you still check raise and is it a mistake to check-call again?
What is your plan on blank rivers (Ko or 5o) after you check raise?
Hey!
1.00: I think so, because the problem with x/r this kind of hand 100 bb deep, is that if we get shoved, we might have to fold a hand with too much equity... but this is a spot where I don't expect villain to ever shove, and call with his entire continuing range...
the reasoning for this is that:
1- I'm repping a super polarized range.
2- The hands in his range that are not a bluff catcher vs my x/r, don't really need to worry about protection.
My plan is to shove any river (except a J, 8 or 3). I'll still have a pretty well balanced range on the river, making him have a tough decision with bluff catchers, because like I said in the video, the only hands I'll do that as a bluff on the turn are the ones that pickup extra equity (FD+gutter or oesd), that don't have showdown value... so it's going to be very few combos, so I can shove blank rivers and he still won't have an easy decision vs my range.
But no, calling the turn is definitely not a mistake.
Thanks for the video Felipe however I personally would prefer if you would play less tables for training vide purposes. It makes it hard to follow, and there isn't enough time for you to explain what you're doing.
