Outstanding video! Please keep them coming. It would be cool if you have other mixed game footage to share as well.
4:03 if your hand was rainbow do you still always open?
4:45 I think diamond should always call and not 2bet as his hand isn't the greatest heads up and wants multiway action.
6:37 do you think diamond can raise your bet to iso? He can fold ianbel which will help improve his high eq and even if called by both of you he likely has the best low draw.
25:10 do you ever check strong lows on 6th? If not then I feel you turn your hand faceup and it would be easy for him to overbluff. Should we check bare lows at some frequency or can we fire off if we think we always have the best low?
33:50 pinguins hand just seems closer to a razz hand with the 2.
41:20 I know ppt says call but I think you run into playability issues as you have 2 opponents who could easily have better low draws than you and your high eq relies on back door cards coming in.
45:35 will you play kk qq jj vs an A open if the A is in later position? I feel like we should 2bet if we are going to play these pairs.
Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words.
4:03 Yes, generally small pairs with a small kicker are always opens. You could fold some from an early position if outsuit and if the dead cards are very bad. I would never fold any when the pair is buried.
4:45 True, with exactly that type of hand I am okay with always flatting.
6:37 Raising would be fine here, Ianbel was playing some looser hands so he is happy to knock those out, his hand does fine vs my range as well.
25:10 On 6th I would check my range to him in that spot, I have way too many AA type hands to want to bet vs his board. and the hands that do want to bet vs his board would rather check-raise. My checking range is not capped at all, his bet will face a lot of check-raises and check calls, and rarely a check fold. So its not a spot I would worry about people exploiting. I thought my combo made sense to fold, and as we saw, even that was a big mistake.
33:50 Yep, it's a reasonable fold with the 5h and 7h dead. Standard fold if his hand is offsuit.
41:20 Yea it's just one of those marginal spots you get into in limit games. I tend to play those spots sticky as that is usually what the math requires to realize your equity fully.
45:35 There is a big difference between JJ and KK, so I wouldn't use the same rules for that entire hand class. The problem with 2betting vs an A open is you allow them to play perfectly, they will always get to 3bet you when they have it, and your not that far ahead when they don't have it. An A with 2 random hole cards has 41% equity vs KK*. If they happen to have AA then they will have 67% vs you and you will need to call down on some scary runouts to realize your EV. I strongly prefer keeping the pots as small as possible in those sort of spots.
Great questions (sorry for the slow response!)
