Thanks for the review Dhruv, also fun to have the facecam on :)
Thanks mx404 !
Looking forward to part 2!
15:00 table 1 kkq3 is this not a spot where you would rather polarize and bet bigger?
32:35 table 1 aa83, if you had the Ad with a board pair can you consider xr bluffing?
Thanks!
Hi SoundSpeed , thanks!
15:00 if you're talking about my flop 1bb block bet then I prefer going small, like I did in game.
Usually, you polarize when you're repping the best or worst hands possible in a situation. This is not the case here(there are more cards to come) as I would have bet bottom set:NFD, AKQ:Kss along with QT:ss, QT:sdd. On the flop, if we pot, not only do we make worse pair/2p:worse FD fold, we also isolate ourselves against their top of range hands. This is not what we're looking to do right away. Also, the standard sizing on the flop where a straight is present is 1/2 pot. I could bet 1/2 but I slightly prefer a 1bb block.
32:35 no, I would not. When there's a board pair and we don't have a single pair from the runout, the Ad is a hand I would see as a bad reason to bluff raise as this card will figure out in his bluffing range more.
Also, when he pots, he's repping a boat, which we don't block at all.
So, not only are we blocking his bluffs we're also unblocking value.
Everything considered, I would fold the same hand today.
Thank you as always for your thorough replies. In the hand at 32:35 I didn't type the question well. I meant if you have paired a card from the board. In that case do you c92nsider the xr? Sorry about that. Thanks!
no worries. In this case, I still wouldn't as AA is too strong(has decent SDV) to bluff in my opinion and is either a bluff catcher or a fold.
Theoretically, a good x/r bluff would a hand like 4567 which would work much better as a bluff, especially vs 1/2 sizing from IP. Notice how blocking the 7 is more important than blocking a J(has SDV) and especially true when x/r ing as 77 now becomes a plausible holding in our range! Vs pot, bluffing 4567 is still dicey.
Dhruv,
Great video. As always you explain your thought process really well when analyzing your hand histories. A lot of great information that I learned from in this one.
Thanks Dhruv
thank you, I'm glad you were able to get a lot out of it!
