Thanks for covering preflop play. I don't think it gets enough attention.
10:46 shows single suit qj98 folding. Is it the middle gap that makes it a fold or is it range symmetry with the opener and caller leading us to bad implied odds that make us fold?
Qjt9 or jt98 with a single suit should be a call, correct?
Hey SoundSpeed, thanks again! I believe preflop is the first building block of a good strategy and even though I have talked about it in my past videos, I wanted to dedicate an entire video talking about things a lot of players miss.
10:46- QJ98 with four hearts is going to fold. If you look at the suits on the right you will see QJ98 with the Q high suit(two to a suit) folded as well. It's important to know this- it's a disconnected rundown which isn't profitable to play as a call. When we're double suited we're going to squeeze and try to hit a disguised hand on the flop or clear up our potential flush outs already, if we hit one on the flop. When we get 4b we can call pretty much all rundowns without an A, especially if it's going to be HU on the flop.
With QJT9/JT98, we have a hand that can potentially profitably call if single suited and 3b for reasons mentioned above when it's double suited. We can call single suited hands here as we're connected enough to play in position. With the gap in the middle we aren't. Solver runs all flops and all turns for all flops(and so on..) to see if our hands make the cut. This is where the gappers lose out in this situation.
Try and find out where things start to get close and your game will improve as a result.
