This is the kind of Hand you’ll 3 bet AA vs and flop with come 972 rainbow end up getting stacked and your at the casino questioning why your here playing with these donkeys.

Frankie,
I have played a lot of live poker and most of these hands are hands I could see happening in most games that people would play in your local card room. The last hand is an interesting spot (mostly on turn) where I think JJ with a diamond might be the best bluff hand Mike could have here. I think check raise all in on turn is probably the best play. Tough to not have outs when called and you put lots of pressure on 1 pair hands as well as two pair hands. Interesting hand. Enjoyed your analysis of this spot.

Thanks Frankie

Frankie,
On the second hand, the 75s vs 97o on 5c2h7c turn Jd river Th facing bet on flop and check through on turn, betting a 7 seems pretty thin especially for a small bet against a player capable of check raise bluffing you. You make a great point about players leveling themselves into a call in these spots after betting super small in position. I personally would not bet small in position on river unless I know my opponent and know they don't check raise bluff here at all (or severely under bluff) AND they are rarely checking better value. I think the only streets they played well was flop and turn (call and check back). Again, your analysis was very nice on this hand illustrating something you see in live games.

Thanks Frankie

Yea if your going to step way outside a theoretically concept as old as poker itself, you better 1) understand your opponents range and response very well, 2) have a plan vs x/r. By IP stressing over the decision to call/fold vs raise illustrates an X through points 1) and 2). That's problematic.

Hey Frankie,

7:10 should marchese be looking to block flop and over bet turn? Even with the bigger flop bet, shouldn't he be going polar on the turn?

What would the bottom of your polar turn value range be? I would think two pair.

The last hand was interesting. Do you think keating jams if the river is a brick?

As Mike, how do you feel about a river xr jam?

Thanks!

Hey Sound.

No, I would actually go depolar for smaller size. Turn connects much bettor with Esfandiari's range (45, 44, K4 <-- shouldn't be in Marcheses range given flop size). To often players reflexively start betting larger for 2nd cbet, but this isn't always the case.

Yes I think for sure he would!

I don't like river x/r given remaining stack sizes. JJ is beating bluffs and IMO unlikely to fold value given price Keating would be getting.

Hope this helps!
