Thought this was a really fun and insightful video into 7-card stud, and would tune into future videos of this series if it were to continue.
edit: as someone who's studying PLO I also enjoyed the major importance of paying attention to every single known card lol
Yeah +1 from me as well
great stuff
Excellent format. The analysis by Carlos combined with the questions you asked Kevin to add clarification to the analyses made for a very informative and entertaining video. Would love to see a series like this on stud continuing with this final table, or any other mixed game.
The hand at 30:00, is there merit to calling 5th street then just leading 6th if our opponent catches a brick?
Thanks.
From Carlos:
Leading 6th when the opponent bricks after check-calling 5th (if there was 1 extra club dead and thus we decided the 5th st call was profitable) is a play I have often made. However, upon some analysis with ProPokerTools, we are a 45-55 dog when I give him a 6h and the Aces a 6c (this is with changing the dead 7h to a 7c). It's not until I change the dead Kd to a Kc (so 4 dead clubs) that we even get to 50-50 equity vs his range! So with less than 4 dead clubs, the only way we would willingly put money into the pot on 6th without improving to 2 pair is if he lost position by catching a Q-A and then checked to us (thus weakening his range and weighting it towards 1 pair).
I'm definitely up for more of this, either stud or any other mixed game. I enjoyed this aspect of going into a depth in such easy to understand way.
Very good analysis and format. Use of PPT with ranges helpful as well. Would like more mixed games in general.
At around 25 or whatever when you're comparing the AA hand vs the opponents range, I question the tightness of the range you give him. He's getting a good price with the big-ish antes in there on 3rd and 4th street. I wouldn't be surprised if opponent has a lot of hands like B:c (which he actually showed up with and is not in your final range but is a ton of combos), and adding those into his range makes the equities run a lot closer. Given that, I don't think this is a fold spot, but I do see the merit, especially in a tournament where you might want to avoid high variance. But for chips, I think it's a clear call and fold if 6th street is another club but otherwise close your eyes and call down.
