First chef

20:40 27cc. U mention u would bluff A4-A2 otr which means u 3bet those pre. Do u 3bet them suited or not? Constructing 3bet ranges in spots like this again since I am too tight and saw snowie 3betting the offsuited ones blind vs blind but it feels a bit weird to me.

7:07 table 2 flop misclick when u minbet? Seemed u did it on purpose so would like to hear more about ur flop strat there.

Edit, can I conclude given this size u bet entire range small at 4:15 table 3? Or do you think two betsizes is good since some hands benefit a lot from protection like JJ that would wanna bet big?

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

I dont think theres anything wrong with mixing it up by 3btting the suited aces ip here vs people opening over 50% given the equity those hands have. But as a std I would just call. U should construct ur range based on ur opponents opening range and 3b flatting range.

I would prefer a bet around 25-35% of the pot. I dont think we have to go that small.
4.15 I like betting small in that spot and betting at a higher frequency. problem with betting for protection in this spot with hands like 10s -kk is that they arent the nuts and the equity of a lot of the continuing hands of villain have a lot of equity. U dont actually wanna play too big of a pot in that spot.

7:45 - You XC 99 on JT5 after calling a 4bet OOP - Even for this sizing I thought our playability/equity was low enough to fold, also, this is pretty close to the bottom of your range as least in terms of playability to me. You mention that it's close, but seemed like you regarded it as close but standard. How much bigger would villain need to bet for you to want to fold this hand?
Thanks for the great content.

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

this really comes down to the buttons 4b range. The wider he is the more Im gonna consider this a std call. once we give him a tighter 4b range than 99 becomes a bit closer but still seems to be a call. Ive even played a bit with buttons cbetsizing and it still doesnt seem like folding 99 should be an option we take even facing a cbet size of 50-60% pot on the flop.

Can you please make more zoom videos moving forward. Thanks

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

I will see what i can do. I was considering making a hhs review for a change or a leakfinder of another 500-1000 nl reg. always fun to work on some sort of lil' series.

erict87 9 years, 4 months ago

Zaza thanks for the video. You normally seem to be up against good players. How does your 3-betting strategy change when a rec sits down, especially from the BB vs. BTN/CO/SB opens? What about in position, are we still polar here? Do we still 3-bet hands like 67s or 46s against them? I ask because I mainly play Bovada NL400 where my line-up consists of 2-3 thinking players, 2-3 fish and me. Games are good! Thanks a lot.

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

With more fish at a table , the better regulars are usually gonna adjust their opening ranges and make them a bit wider when the recs are in the blinds and in general gonna be looking to play as many pots as they can with them.
Our 3b range vs recs should vary depending on the opponents opeing frequency. vs rec who limp alot and dont raise a lot we shouldnt 3b too wide, vs those who do open at reglike frequencies or looser we should 3b them with anything playable ip, to make sure we play a pot hu. u dont wanna do too much of flat calling vs those kind of recs. it will induce alot of squeezes behind.

Hi Mirza.

~14:30 you bet QQ on Q62r BTN 3bet vs CO.
How would you construct your xback strategy so that you are not exploited by turn overbets?
Are you instead playing a 100% bet strategy otf? Do you think this is best given that AQo and KQo make up such a large portion of CO's range?
Always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

hi, thanks a lot!!
definitely not betting a 100% bet strategy on this flop. I dont think we should cbet it at too high of a frequency.
We can check back hands like kq AQ on the flop since on most runouts we wont be able to bet 3 streets unimproved and its a good way to mix up ur play passively in position.

Jonathan Kohen 9 years, 4 months ago

Minute 35 you c/r A6 on 652cc. Have you found yourself in many difficult spots OOP while implementing this c/r strategy? Also, how do you find yourself randomizing these c/r's, as you said you won't do it all the time.

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

I dont like my check raise here with this particular combos. on a rainbow flop it woulda been allot better.Secondly I think we need to have a club in our hand if we wanna ch r for thinn value /protection on the flop on 2tone textures like this. this will allow u to randomize it better and play turns better.

Micro2Macro 9 years, 4 months ago

72s 3barrel blind vs blind - Would K7 not make a better 3barrel bluff candidate here?

If KQ is the one Qx combo that calls 100% then blocking this hand in addition to a straight will get more folds.

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

its defintely a better hand to be bluffing with in terms of blockers, the issue is we never 3b that combos preflop so we wont have it in our range.

ali23imsirovic 9 years, 4 months ago

Always love watching your videos!!
Can you discuss the A8 pot cbet on A8Q?

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

thank you sir.
we can use multiple betsizings on the flop. underbet and overbet flop or bet small and big.
Im still experimenting with my betsizes on the flop for different textures, but this particular texture favours us if we r in lp and our opponent just flats preflop. this is why i elected to pot. theres many hands in our range that can bet 2 streets for value as well but have to check river, so i like including a mixed strategy with overbets on the flop or turn mixed with smaller sizes.

FIVEbetbLUFF 9 years, 4 months ago

great video! love the analysis.
at 17min with j7s on river j73dd55, do u ever check river with a trap so u arent just aj kj j7s and then give ups? he will have a reasonable amount of bluffs so i do think we want to be check/calling fairly close to 1-a, depending on how often u bet river (ur value range tightened to not include j3s j7s aj kj so i do think u will be checking a lot more on this card than a river 2 or something). I do expect that many players will have a lot of missed draws on this river given there was 2 missed flush draws so we do have incentive to check some traps given i expect the betting frequency of our opponent to be fairly high. Further, many of their calling hands (QQ-AA) to the river shove, will also shove themselves i think, so checking a hand like 77 to snap river makes some sense sometimes given it also gets value from bluffs (which it blocks none).

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

Like I said in the video , j7 would be a good candidate to check call given it blocked his tp check back combos and 7x and it didnt block any missed draws he could have. If u wanna add more checking hands to ur river range, I would include rivered trips as well like 56 54 .One of the biggest issues I have with checking river with too many of our super nutted hands is that i see alot of players check back river with anything that beats 89 910 type hands, and sometimes dont bluff 8 high flushdraws. Thats why I like betting most of my valuerange here.
He s always naturally going to be playing pretty well ip here i believe . Its gonna be hard for him to overbluff and he should be careful when choosing what hands to vbet and what not.

FIVEbetbLUFF 9 years, 4 months ago

one last thing: at 36min, you fold 98 on k7279, doesnt this mean when you bet flop and check turn u fold nearly 80-90%? the 8c isnt great but only blocks T8cc or A8cc that might bluff (no other 8cXc call pre, except 98cc, which is a pair now)

Zaza 9 years, 4 months ago

Its just a pretty bad spot when we face a bet because of how narrow sb calling rangres are preflop. another important thing is that we are 3 way. I dont think he can call that light with one player left to act and being oop. I'm not a big fan of the cbet though in the 1st place, i think its a lil bit spewy given its 3way and how narrow of a range sb has. k10o kjo and maybe k9o k10s kjs some % are all hands ppl with mixed strats like to flat in the sb, so he has a ton of kx .I dont see him floating combos like qjo q10o with a player behind.

Azartus 9 years, 4 months ago

Hey Super Zazano, quick question,on table 3 the KQdd hands, in a preview comment you told me ~ I usually pick a smaller bet size on monoboards, but u could make arguments for solely using a bigger size and bet a lot more polarized range.so you are betting depolarize in this monotone boards , but if we had AA with no diamond in this spot, don`t we want to bet big here to charge all his possible draws? or you think is better to split our range in this situation? sorry i m just trying to understand the way you think a little better, and if you could to explain this type of spots a bit it will help me alot.. thank for your help in advance Zaza, and have a good week
