23' don't you think villain might shove QQ as well? ofc it's not a great spot but even if he is shoving QQ+/AK without any bluffs you have the odds to call (roughly 40%)
I couldn't believe Gary Chappell was folding here..... until I checked my charts and found out that I was the whale.
Really intelligent laydown Gary Chappell . Even moreso on video where (at least for me) it feels way harder to find the tighter folds. Well done.
Luke Johnson I am the whale as well. I would be just sticking it in here and not think twice about it. :(
Clicked for me when he explained the 5bet shove range is tighter shoving into two already tight ranges
Thanks guys - in different positions or vs some other players its a snap call, but I stick by my reasoning and glad you can get on board with it.
Luke Johnson yeh it's definitely harder going with your gut on video as opposed to just playing 'standard GTO' so as not to be critiqued.
17m. Wouldn't low Ax hands make for a decent bluff catcher as they have the whole package of blocking value and unblocking bluffs vs a AT/AJ type hand which only is participating in the former? Like I would imagine V would be bluffing 6x (some 56/67) and like QJ/JT type stuff. And assuming you do some x/r on flop, you shouldn't have that many combos of 2pair+.
Yeh for sure I'll get bluffed sometimes here, but when villain is risking so much to win the pot and I'm getting a bad price, I don't need to call that often. I have plenty of 2pr combos here.
nice video. what software are you using to generate random numbers on top of the poker client?
it was starshelper, but since stars update you want to use starscaption now.
3:45 T#1 with 73d on the river Tc-8h-7h - 4c - Ah
Are you contemplating call / fold here or would you consider turning 7x into a bluff on this river? Blockers not good enough?
6:50 T#2 Js9s betting 1/3 on KJ3dd board 3BP SB vs BTN. Do you find 1/3 to be standard size here? I was thinking maybe 33 folds some times preflop, KK and JJ mostly 4 bet given the formation, so I would want to size up with range advantage on this texture. Thoughts?
12:15 T#2 I really like your turn and river check going for a check Jam on the river where KX, JX and bluffs should be betting the river. 77 on KJ7J8.
25:05 T#1 with JJ CO 2bet, btn 3bet, hero sb 4bet, co 5bet jam. Does look like solver is calling here, but I do like the fold. I had a question on the solver I am looking at it, shows JJ calling 83% and TT 100%. Is this because there are some AJs KJs 5 bet shoves in this spot that JJ blocks or just noise of not being solved all the way down? Similar to your QQ at 23min mark mentioned in the above comments.
26:57 T#2 CO vs MP 3.5x RFI Are you still playing 3B / Fold from the CO? In theory more money to attack and less pot odds for cold calling so more incentive to 3bet. However, likely to be a stronger range as well. I am not sure what type of range to 3bet with vs the larger sizing and if I should be mixing in some cold calls with hands like 77 88 KJs AQo? Feels gross to 3bet then fold these hands. Also what size would you make it if you did 3bet?
73d - I am in check-fold mode here with this combo, I can beat some hands like 55-66, but on the A i am not beating much and I have better hands to bluff that block flushes/straights (by either lead out or check-raise).
Js9s - range bet seems fine, trying to incorporate 3 sizes in these spots can cause confusion and get messy. I like to simplify where possible for effective implementation.
77 - i like my play as i dont think there's many hands i lose value vs by checking (TT & 99 only ones).
JJ - to answer your TT query, i would suggest its because TT is a low frequency cold 4bet, so when we do it, we have to call off. Similarly concept to when we open low freq hands UTG (eg suited connectors/small pairs), we often call 3bets. I'm fine folding JJ here as I'm running into a range of AK/QQ/KK/AA. People don't find enough bluffs with ATs/A5s. It's a snap call vs a shove from the 3better, but not the original opener as their range is tighter due to having the 3better to act.
vs 3.5x RFI - more reason to play 3bet or fold. We should call less vs bigger sizes and play more of a 3bet of fold strategy. You can adjust your range if you like, but most likely its vs a recreational player (as regs dont open 3.5x) so you want to isolate and play pots vs them ip.
Do you think just number of draws that missed and timing tell that made you call here then?
I was having this similar discussion as I am playing on ignition and there is a 3x and 5x button on the site that I see people use pretty frequently. In theory vs the 5x we want to 3bet quite a bit. Some people play extremely tight against it because low pot odds. However, I find it's mostly recreational players using it as you also pointed out with the 3.5x sizing. Because of this I am looking to play more pots. Still decently tight range, but not folding a ton vs them either. I do think it makes me cold call more of my AQ 88 77 type hands though and just play position in a pot that is not likely to go MW. Also if I do 3 bet I will go like 2.5 or less than 3x IP vs the 3.5bb-5bb opens.
Yeh in hindsight I don't like the 73 call, although i think there are enough bluffs to make it marginal.
Your idea about strategy vs big sizings seems fine. A lot of adjusting/exploiting happens in these spots as we want to do what is optimal vs that particular rec.
34:20 T#2 not to be result oriented but I don't like the bluff catch here. You mention you block some two pairs and also straights and opponent can bluff with 98 and KT. Wouldn't these hands just fold to 3 bet preflop OOP BTN vs MP? Stacks were a little deeper to start, so maybe they call, but seems optimistic. Then looking at your own range that 3bets preflop, AJo (no spade) seems pretty low in your range here. I would think you have plenty of sets and 2 pairs that also check back on the turn. I am not sure how valuable that J is on this board. I don't think you need to call with worse than 2 pair here given your 3 bet range and also if you do call one pair maybe just call KsQx, KxQs, AxJs, AxKs?
edit: Comment above was made before you did PIO analysis. Not used to you using PIO in your videos, it is a nice touch at the end. Glad I was pretty close to what PIO was doing though :-)
