With KK in the blinds vs Andrz around the 12:30 mark - is there a bet size you're folding to on this river that's less than a jam from him? Are you calling a jam from him on the river?
-Tom
I was likely calling pretty much any bet there. My thought process being that if he had an 8 on the turn there, he'd likely barrel it having gotten there that way with so much in the middle. Unless it was a good 8 like 88, or 78... So I'm more worried about 2 pair than a straight, which if he has god bless him. It's also a really ugly runout for my perceived holdings (1 pair, ace high) which I'd think would make him more prone to bluff at it.
Great video.
The 33 hand, at 28.00. (1500/3000), you opened ep and got 3bet by little kraut; what do you think about folding preflop? You were raising a lot prior to this ( and yeah, you were getting great cards, but they don't know that), and they should start picking on it sooner or later. And it's hard to play this hand oop if you don't flop it. Sure you'll stack him if you hit it, but on certain boards he'll get away. So yeah, in vacuum, what do you think the best play is: 1.opening 2. Folding 3. Open/folding to 3bet?
Thanks!
Did you like the cold 5 bet all in with JJ ( against the K2) in hindsight against an unknown player ? Would you say that this is a play you would make a lot with JJ here ? I felt that whilst sometimes i would do the same often i am folding there against someone with no history of making cold 4 bets light as well as the original raiser, as you said , being a solid player.
Enjoyed the video more expansion on what ranges you think you are up against at times would be good.
Thanks
Rich
That's a pretty clear fold >> 4 bet>> call but I got stubborn. Can't really defend that one.
Chase,
I didn't love it but guys are so wild these days that sometimes you gotta gamble. Plus card removal with all the action in front if he did have AK or AQ. I do remember Jakoon and I howling when we saw his hand at the time!
Moshe,
I would be happy calling either of the blinds with AT there. The button open from a big stack doesn't get much respect so we can assume they are shoving pretty much any ace, any pair, most broadway hands and good suited connectors, which we fare well against and often dominate. Especially the sb having the 23bb stack, say if he was in the big with JTo or 78cc he may peel 2/3 of the time and shove 1/3 of the time... but in the sb people don't like to flat and usually just shove there if they want to play the hand.
I'm gonna try to talk more about ranges in the next tournament I do. But to be honest I rely more on feel and experience than math or theory, so stuff like ranges and equity factor into my decision making less than guys like Jakoon or Phil. Different strokes for different folks! I will try to be more articulate and give less of a recap next time.
Also, try not to announce your cards/simple action, we are able to see those things develop.
Good content on the site so far. Excited to see some of the Elite players develop as video makers as well.
would like to hear a lot more details about what you would or wouldn't do with different parts of you range in each situation. when you 3B and they fold no point in even showing the HH if you don't' find something to teach us :)
thanks
Could you explain your approach to betsizing of your preflop raises? Because it seems, you mix it up quite a bit. I saw you minraising, 2.25x-ing and everything in the middle. Don't you have a standart sizing? Do you type it in kind of randomly all the time? Why do you generally prefer bigger raises than minraise, cause a lot of pros just minraise it from all positions? Do you think it has more FE? Or do you want to play bigger pots with initiative?
Hey,Steve.I think your 3bet size OOP with the KK (agg.A9o on 14min) is to low,about 2.5x,based on the stack sizes. The next hand you use the same size with your QQ IP agg. UTG opener,for me this is a little bit strange.Can you explain how you choose your 3bettingsize (IP and OOP)?
