29minute QJ shove is thinnnn. Kinda imagine mechanics of PIO: IP not folding flop almost ever, continuing turn wide and have to defend river accordingly. But yeah if in game he is underdefending flop or turn, how we can jam then?
Hey Jeff.
QJ is quite thin indeed! If we know for a fact that our opponent is underdefending we can definitely just check and very happily fold to a shove because it's extremely difficult to find bluffs OTR for someone that doesn't call as wide as he's supposed to on earlier streets.
Really enjoyed this one
Thanks a lot dsuds97. I’m really glad to hear that!
Great video! I like this concept where you have the time to touch on all the details of the hand very nice!
Thanks a lot Bingo! Yes, I actually think this is the format in which I provide the most value as a coach.
At 22:24, the EVs clearly suggest that it's a better board for the caller, but shouldn't that also entail, that we should use a polarized strategy instead of range-betting? Shouldn't range betting make sense when we actually have a range advantage?
Nice video, as usual :)
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!
You're right. When we don't have a range advantage, range betting certainly loses some value and we should look to add checks and potentially use a larger sizing with our betting range. However, the way I'm approaching 3B pots is by simplifying my strategy as much as possible without losing much EV in the process. You can find a deeper explanation about that on this video
Nuno I just want to say thanks for making videos. You’re a gem!
These type of comments mean the world to me. Thank you so much Khalil, I’m very glad that you enjoy my content!
Great video, Nuno Alvarez - That first K6o hand had me really confused and I was on the verge of yelling at you that it is a simple snap-call on the river. . . until you explained that part about how there are many opponents who don't have enough non-spade bluffs on the turn. That is a very good and fair point that I completely missed and I will most definitely be thinking about that type of spot in the future.
**Random, Mostly-Pointless Comment: Don't judge me for being an old man like Sauce, but back in 2005 I played online against a guy named "CzechRazor" and always thought that was such an awesome name. I'm glad to see that you are rocking the "CheckRais3r" name! =]
Thanks a lot man! Glad you liked it.
Yeah hehe, at first glance it definitely seems like we can't fold but it's important to identify these spots in which many players would end up greatly underbluffing because how they construct their ranges on previous streets.
Haha thank you! I agree with you, ''CzechRazor'' is an awesome screen name :)
