Hey Espen!

Thanks for the vid, here are some questions for u:

1) At the very beginning of the VOD, u def J9suited on the bb and then ch/c a Td7dx, planning to take it away later. what do you think about ch/r this flop?

2) do you ever openfold from sb when stacks are 20bb or higher? Isn't it mathematically bad almost always?

3) 08.24 On the BUtton on Triceratops u fold QTo vs FanJkEEE open. What do you think about flattin' there?

4) 16.19 Shortstacked, U fold A5s vs loose guy opening, is it good? =)

5) 19.16 - u openshove 99 from MP with ss on very agr table, isn't r/c more optimal there?


General question: Do you EVER 3b light or steal with trash in this stage of tour? if not, why? =) and I don't mean 3-handed =)

1) I don't mind it, however I think this is how he expects me to play most bluffs/semibluffs so I feel like it represents a valuehand better + I get againt his strong hands that might 3b flop.

2) I def do, I feel like people nowadays are defending wider than ever so there's no need to always be opening the worst hands since we also will be oop.

3) seems fine

4) It is close. feel like it is slightly too weak when he opens utg+1

5) 13bigs I don't think it makes too much of a difference. if we had a bit more (15-16+) I'd say it is a clear r/c but I think I would want to shove most hands I play here

General answer: Yes :)

Thank you for answer!

2) I am not sure bout math now, but feels like Villain has to do smth which is not folding about 60% of the time, to make mr unprofitable, doesn't he?

General answer: why U don't do this here? I think u folded a lot of BUs and there were this guy on Stars, who was opening like 30%+(u ended up playing HU with hi

2) depends on a couple of thing: how many players there are at the table, how big the antes are, how big your openraise is. We also have to remember that playing a bottom 10-20% hand oop against a top 50% hand is going to have negative implied odds. 

basically just because I thought he would 4b me wide and I didn't really want to get into an x-betting war with the most aggro and biggest stack at the table. As shown in the AT>KTs hand, we are getting jammed light by him. Might be a tiny leak of mine to not take enough spots. I used to battle a lot back in the day, but I learned the hard way that it is good to sit back a bit and not get too out of line at finals against very aggro players
