Espen continues his session focused on the relatively deeper stacked stages of tournament play, looking to accumulate chips before the ICM considerations come in to play.

If you are able to fold kings preflop, I think you should of 4 bet preflop. With the line you took, it seems like if an ace or a king doesn't hit the flop, you are guessing what he has and that's always a bad situation.

Super tight players do not 3-bet AQ too often, especially with players left to act. Judging by his stats, he's a rock. I liked the way you played KK there, and most likely a good fold

I dont think he really 3bets AQ here almost ever. If he 3bets JJ I really doubt he barrells turn with it. So we are really just looking at QQ, AA and the other KK almost always. I guess he could have AKss but that is just one combo, way more likely to have us toasted here

i don't see a player note that he is super tight. his stats come from a sample 55 hands :/ HOWEVER

i completely agree with you that we are behind the 'value' portion of his range. i do see a lot more random 3bet bluffs however - that would make me consider a call down.

i m agree with the post flop fold given the range of the tight player and since you are not not beaten anymore a lot of his range  but i dont get get why you dont want not to gii with kk against a tight qq+ ak 3b range.

hi espen I just wanted to know what was your reason to shove that JTss on the winamax tournament against a middle position opener and like you said a late position caller who u thought to be suspiciously strong...i mean you did have 20bb...i do understand that you're in the sb and out of position but don't you think calling there is ok? and then proceed caustiously on the flop?

Espen Sørlie 11 years, 7 months ago

Yeah, especially seeing the results I feel a bit silly not following my read that his flat looks very suspicious here. one thing to be said against flatting is bb might jam light and we might not get to see a flop. I do however think it is better than folding and jamming seems a bit spewy when I look back at it.

Hi Espen very nice video again :-)

Maybe I am wrong but I am not so sure about the KK hand. I dont want to come off like I am a pro or something. You are a much better player than me, no doubt about that, but I just like to talk about poker strategy and theory so here is my take on the KK hand :-)

I think we should just 4B get it in preflop.

Even he seems nitty, but after that hand his 3B was +7 % even for it was UTG you raised from so he is proberly not that wide vs UTG with his 3B, But then again getting KK in preflop dosent ever seem to be a big mistake at this stack deepth.

Also the sample size is way to small to really conclude anything, maybe the guy was just really card dead for the session or something like that. He is +99 % on OPR and plays in a 109 $ MTT and proberly aware that you are not a random donk. So I think he can 3B here other than AK+KK+.

When you play it like you do, your essentially hoping he has AK, and you will see a non A high flop/turn, and that he will then give up with everything on the turn. If that is our strategy here with KK then I think it is very close that fold preflop is better, or we can setmine. Although setmining dosent seem so appeling eather since stacks are not the largest, we will be out of position, and we asume he is just giving up on turn when he miss.

 

Anyway. I like this series as a whole. I think it is important too see early stage play also, instead of always FT/deepruns. So I hope you will do more of this in future.
