Enjoyed the video, in particular when you go through different combos of hands your opponent might have to work out the best play. Do you do the same in real time or just when reviewing after? How do you go about discounting various hands that might have played different ways earlier in the game tree - this is the part I struggle with in real time.

21.45 - AJ on J42rJ vs lead
You mention that most players will fail to balance their river checking range here which makes floating an attractive option. I assume you mean that most people don't check enough JX on the river and are vulnerable to a large bet? If we assume that a player is betting most of their JX on the river and most of their possible bluffing hands, do we still get to this part of the game tree often enough to make floating random hands +EV? I assume so but not entirely sure - seems in practise I face a bet very often on river too with people too keen to turn low pairs into bluffs too.

29.30 - T8s spicy 4bet pot on 654r2J
I like the line in theory, but after you bet 1/2pot on the flop in a spot where ranges are very tight to start with, I struggle to see that many hands that will fold on turn or river. Do you think your opponent will have enough folds to make this breakeven or +EV? You mentioned a few potential folds, but I don't see that many people call the flop with KTs, or even ATs etc which were some of the possibilities you mentioned.

40.00 - JTdd on T8459
If you were to play this hand again would you block the river, or still bet big? If big, why do you prefer that possibility in this scenario?

Loved the video Jungle !! And congrats on the 50K Win !

A few questions if I may,

  1. Last hand you specifically point out the AhQ as the prime bluff combo, I wonder why you think that's the main combo rather than AhJ or AhK, Is it because it blocks specifically the nut straight?

Also when you say "AhK, AhQ, AhJ that's 5 combinations.." , I assume you meant be 8 right? Want to make sure I follow your train of thought correctly..

  1. . T87 - ~6:30 - You said we are raising good Jx like Q9 and some backdoors, and that the top end of our range would often flat. Which value hands would you raise on this board to protect the draws and 9x that raise?

  2. I am not a native english speaker and having a hard time distinguishing what do you say villain should mathematically have at ~27:25. Would appreciate if you could clarify :)

Thanks !

That T8 4B seems like really good hand for spew image, like your analyses on that one. Actually I think AQ blust off in his shoes on the turn. And between TT/99, 99 is better bluffcatcher since in blocks less bluffs in GTO ranges for 100BB deep (Stuff like AT/KT), while both A9\K9 should be pure folded pre (hmmm rake is big factor)
