You opened A5o button and folded to 3bet. He mentioned that prefer other hands to 4-bet. KTo the u button flatted in 3bet since said it is too strong for 4bet as bluff.
Which make up your hands main range of 4-bet the btn vs blinds?
Specifically, what do you think of 4bet bluff hands as A6-A9s that position? I have seen regs who prefer the flat in 3bet with them, but I believe are the best 4-bet bluff as to block aces and also are not strong enough to call as ATs +.
A2- A5s are just fold the most part facing a regular 3-bet?
I think its profitable to defend any suited Ace vs a rather wide 3betting range in position, so I wouldnt 4betbluff any of those. When it comes to 4bet I prefer hands like J4s or Qxs or maybe even 78o. It think blockers are more important when the opponents are unlikely to flat because otherwise you are dominated too often when you 4bet with A5o or stuff like that.
I think 3barreling AT here even on bricks is a little thin. So I think I need to know he is somewhat of a station to go for 3streets here. AJ+ i would def go for value 3 times on good cards. Just thought AT is a little too thin.
yeah because if i dont want to bet 3 streets i think its better to check the flop and give him an opportunity to bluff or make a hand which is weaker than mine, with hands that he would just fold when i bet. Thats why i like to check here.
30' : u flatted a 4bet oop with QKo. U said that oppo used to 4bet u a lot. Isnt a good hand (u block some KK-QQ combos) to just 5bet-shove? Can u give me some good flatting 4bet hands against player who usually 4bet a lot from the button? Ajs-TJs-QTs-QKo can be these?
If i think a player is 4betting too much, then i can definitly just 5bet/jam KQ here, no problem. But i can also flat a 4bet and not get stacked by AQ/AK and QQ+ but it also gives me the benefit that i dominate his 4betbluffs like Qx and Kxs. So I think its better to flat a 4bet than jam, but jam would be also ok if he is 4betting too much.
Hands to flat to a 4bet are in general the suited broadways and AJ/AQ and T9s and maybe the very good suited connectors.
But that all really depends on the 4betting range of the opponent.
T8s min 16:20 I dont like this hero call river; cause we block his bluff range a lot with hearts and TJ; and also you are not in the top of your bluff catching with hands like A9; K9.... can you talk more about your bluff catching range in general. Thxs
I dont think thats important in this case. First of all, weaker players they can just have anything. ALso there are so many gutshots or straightdraw out there, and also he still could have hands without any equity. Also i think he would bet a 9 here very often. So i really dont think it makes a huge difference to call with A8 or 8T here against this player.
min 31:15 KQo call 4b from the BTN; here if Im not wrong we must recover close to 60 %; and protect close to 40 % us 3b range. Of course depends of the 3b ratio. But when I check this hand in CREV we lost money in this call. Can you talk more about this spot please.
I think its very dependend on how wide your opponent is 4betting. I dont know about CREV. Just you get really good potodds, so he doesnt need to bluff very often to be profitable. Also i dont play this as a standard, just in some cases versus really aggressive 4bettors.
protection is one thing, but also you have to think about how to get value. And when I bet AT on Axx he is probably not calling too many simple low flushdraws, so he will probably only have the high ones. But when I check he will definitly stab any flushdraw + potentially bluff a river.
30:30, u flat a CO open on the button and fold when SB squeezes (7% squeeze in that position). My standard play would be to flat here, am I being way out of line ?
I dont know its tough to say. If he 3bets i would def defend such a hand vs 7%, but in a squeezed pot he is probably more depolarized, like having more hands like AJ which dominate me more often. I still think you can easily call here, but im not sure if you really have to defend here.
good vids, i like the way you play. One thing though, why do you fold suited aces in early position? Game theory wise it's optimal to open any suited ace in every position and very often 3 bet bluffing or squeezing any player / players from any position with A4s and A5s. What are your thoughts on this?
as I said, I also started opening any suited Ace already months ago. In general its also very good to 3bet those, just I wouldnt 3bet all of them, because otherwise you will have too many bluffs overall. So I would try to flat, when position and opponents are allowing it, otherwise I would 3bet

41:45 why checking with AT, isnt better to value bet that hand and check weaker top pairs?
how do you split your top pair range there?

yea i understand why not 3 streets,but what i meant is why flop check
thanks

04': why do u check behind ATo in AXX with three hearts and not bet to protect your hand against fd?
