However I like live actions videos much more, I understand it's not very appealing to make a video of you playing your normal stakes, but how about reviewing another reg's play or playing on another site?
Some spots i would like to discuss:
a) 1st hand w 99.
Let's assume your hand is QQ+ here, when you flat UTG pfr and call a cbet(assume his cb was bigger) do you call if he c/r the turn? And if yes, what about if he continues on the river?
I'm asking this because i think if he decides to c/r 97 here he should probably bomb smth close to half rivers(except diamonds and 2,3,J). It should be profitable if you fold the majority of QQ+, despite having 77,22,JJ in your range.
b) 88 hand
I like you slowplay and call/call line. Just want to ask about spots when we are in his shoes with Ax hand and are c/raised on that flop, we realise the same way that a reg in your spot don't have much hands to raise with, so would probably be calling down with strong hands as you actually did in this hand. So when we are c/r here with all that info it's kinda hard to fold even OOP, so he can start calling lighter, which can make 88 better to raise in our shoes =).
So it's like a circle 1) we decide we'd better call flop with 88 here >>>2) then he starts calling lighter or fight back with a 3b when we c/r this flop>>>3) we start c/r 88 here. Hope that was understandable =)
c) 98hh
What was your plan on the turn? c/r or c/c?
Do you think it's better to raise on the river or call with a hand like 65,75 if he has them in his range getting to the river?
What other stronger hands you decide to check this flop for balance/deception from time to time and what strong hands you'd never check or do it very rarely
d) KJo
Would you bet the turn if he checked again?
Would you still call if he bet the river 3/4 pot?
B) I probably just wouldn't have much of a raising range on that board in general.
C) My plan on the turn was to check raise most of the time and check call some % of the time. The board is getting more and more drawy and my line doesn't necessarily look credible for a value hand so I could definitely see villain calling down light or going crazy with a draw.
D) As far as if I'd bet the turn if check to, it would depend on how likely I would think it would be that I'd get check raised. I'm still calling if he bets 3/4 pot, he can value bet worse potentially and can certainly have some bluffs.
Villain needs 2.5:1 to call with a 29% equity hand and about 2.95:1 with a 26% equity hand he's not getting it. He's getting 2.28:1 so his call with any strong draw is a losing call. Can you explain to me why I see winning coaches make this call routinely and from the way you sounded in the video you sounded like it was pretty standard
If we are not fortunate enough to bink the T on the turn, how do you procede vs this kind of aggression on say a 9h for example, are you calling the turn still given he can still have the over pairs in his range, aswell as all the combo's of flush draws he can have?
I like the format. It's a lot more interesting than the standard live session. There were a few really interesting spots.
Very nice video. I was wondering-in a lot of hands you are fastplaying the flop/turn( Q9s,KK vs giggy,3bet flop w99 on 968)-I think we should be careful with this against observant opponents, since it might be the absolute best vacuum play, but in the long run it will weaken your calling ranges a lot. What do you think about this?
Nice video!
I have a question about 89hh hand. You said that you are never folding your hand when he raises the river but when I am in your spot and people raise me on the river when they cant represent anything they usually are not bluffing because i think they are aware that they cant represent anything and because of that their bluffing frequency is very low. But I mostly play 3-6 and 5-10 and i dont think that there is such a big difference between nl 500 and nl600 and 1k
And with AQ hand where you check-raised turn i think that river valuebet is way to thin. Because you opened in MP and there are8 TJ and Q od the board and 9 makes a straight so it is really hard for you to have a bluff and I think you definitely arent get called by worse hand more than 50% of the time.
Good video! Thanks. I have a question about 12:00 slowplay bottom set on AT8hh in 3b pot. What if a heart comes on the river? Do you call his pot size shove? Like Qh? What if 2h? I think your hand becomes a bluffcather at this point since he has a lot of straights and flushes in his range especially on Qh river. At the same time you're kind of high up in your range to fold river.
27:00 When you call his overbet on the river you have a bluffcather and you narrow down his value range to straights and flushes that you dont think make up a lot of combos. Ok. But do you think about the odds he's offering you? What if his value range was a bit wider combowise (let's just say 2x wider)? Would you still call? What if he had a stack of 2x pot, 3x? Still call?
Your analysis of the 97 hand was great.
