Enjoyed the video.

1:00 table 2 87, do we get overbets here?

23:25 tabke 4 ak if the blind wasn't in there pre and you were hu do you peel the flop even vs that larger size? Three way i can see his betting range being a bit tighter and the fold being more standard.

24:30 table 4 j8 on the turn 4 if our opponent is uncapped when he checks do we have enough if a nut advantage to overbet?

31:40 table 4 opponent has 33 how do you feel about his delay double barrel bluff? With the diamond it seems reasonable.

33:13 table 3 aq, if you were going to float turn wouldn't it be better to have your diamonds so you unblock his heart draws making his range more draw heavy?

Thanks!

Hey !

1:00 - Yeah absolutely. I think I went small because of the abundance of draws, which favor IP of course, but in retrospect this should have been much larger.

23:25 - It'd be a very strange size for him to use, so I would likely make my decision based on some exploitative factors. With no information I would mix call/fold. No raising

24:30 - Our opponent is absolutely uncapped when he checks, I definitely don't expect anyone to just pure bet their 4x+ here. That being said I expect the majority of 4x to bet, and this range has a significant amount of questionable showdown hands in there so I would be including this combo in the overbet range every time. Need to take advantage of position in these types of situations.

31:40 - I think it's totally fine. A lot of 2 overcard type hands in our range that will be pure folding and have a bunch of equity vs 33. Plus it works as a barrel, and it can win at showdown sometimes.

33:13 - I think anything but hearts is just equal as far as blocker value goes here. If you want to get really deep into it; he should use more spades, since I will use more spade bluffs OTF, therefore unblocking diamonds and clubs is good (we now have more weak xbacks), but I think that's unnecessary mental gymnastics for 200nl rush.

Cheers!

Krzysztof,
Interesting line on the hand you play at ~15:00 where you have 99 on flop of 344r turn 2d and river 6h rainbow board facing b33 and raising as a bluff. Are our main bluff candidates going to be Ax to block the A5 portion of opponents range, and just call with our pairs? I would think we start to over bluff this spot if we are not careful.

Thanks

Hey !

So we will float flop with a low frequency of a variety of 2 overcards, mostly Ax as you mention. A bunch of those will bluff turn, since we will want to be betting some of our vulnerable stronger hands. We will pick bluffs out of whats left. I don't think it's a huge # of combos but you might be totally right as far as needing to be careful (vs a v.strong opponent). That being said, my raise here is a total exploit. His sizing is a bit strange and I see it as a greedy 4 as I mentioned.

Cheers !
