Hey Rapfael, nice video.

10 30 You donk T6 on T9Qccc T trun 30 into 54.
Do you think this leading strategy is mandatory for midstakes or higher? Also, how does the fact that the board is super wet change this leading strategy? Most players seem to go 15-25% pot when the middle/bottom card pair.

I guessed 73s! Pretty close!

AA is very interesting. I think betting the turn is good. You have enough draws yourself, and you don't want to give him free equity. I'm check pretty much any river, though.
Perhaps betting KK/QQ and checking AA could be a good strategy.
Although it may be exploitable, I agree with folding on the turn. You're not crushing his draws, but you're nearly dead against his value range.

good vid rapf...@ 22 w j7d and tons of bd draws why not just start barreling? seems like theres some hands he gives up and theres alot of good runouts for your hand

Please tell me this session was from 2014.

Thia 74s hand reminds me of one story a poker friend told a while ago. He taught his parents the basics of the game and played a home game once. After being called on the river by his mom who showed 6 high, he asks why did she call. She snaps: I was bluffing. Probably she deposited $400 on PS and gave it to you. 

Really nice analysis on the AA hand and I prefer x/c but you explained very detailed how to approach the situation. Ty

Very nice video, very fun to watch and learn a lot in the same time , perfect really :) keep doing more Raph, for France :p

for the AA hand:

Its common that you hear people say deep stack poker is much more interesting, more edge and blabla and I agree but then that's the kind of shitty spot you get into there, and its really ugly spot !

You end up folding the top of your range which is very annoying but what to do!

I would watch for the opponent's tendencies before betting the turn.

If he's the kind of trying to use deepness to make moves in position, I would bet/call and close my eyes calling the river since thats the top of our range. (But you're right, very often I level myself in this kind of spot end up calling and they show nuts....)

If not then either bet/folding, or even checking turn, sacrifice one street of value/protection for the sake of "protecting my stack" or not getting bluffed.  

Im also not sure what is best. If some high stake pro could come up with some CREV on this one, would be awesome :p

Im afraid if we check/call turn, and check river, if we face a big river bet it's still kind of the same story. Maybe this hand shows that it's a very good spot for him to raise A LOT in this spot. hard for us to do something even with AA.

If some people have an answer/ideas on this one, please share it, such an interesting hand!

Very nice video!. I have a question regarding the hand where you river a set with the 77 hand and CO the nut straight, you bet and he just calls (at minute 6). For you it was clear that he should raise, but I might also just call in that spot trying to induce other calls. Given that you checked the flop and the turn, JT and 77 (or 87s and 65s if they are in your pre flop opening range) are the only hands that may take this line and call a raise. On the other hands, are there any other hands you would check the flop and turn and bet the river? Perhaps he could think that you were doing this with weak aces. 

Also, it was a 4-way pot. If he raises right after your bet, wouldn't that show too much strength so that you shouldn't be too happy calling with 77? 

Very good video sir. My instict on AA hand is to fold turn as well, but during the hand, with limited time to think and few draws out there, I would just shove or maybe call turn and river (unless it is one of the worst cards). Done it many times and very often wrong. 

Now, speaking of making bad calls on river, since you mentioned you used to make bad calls, is it possible you can make a video out of clear mistakes on river decision from your database? 

Now, your JJ hand earlier vs very bad player with air-calling range (47). Do you ever fold in that spot vs unknown given different action on his part? If he check calls flop and x/r turn? What if he shoves over your flop raise? 

ahahahah u made my day with this video man ! Wich nationality are u dude ?

"I dont necessarily think its a great spot to raise a lot in his shoes. I've tried many times to rep sets and 2 pairs and bluff off overpairs in similar spots but I lost a lot doing so, people generally just dont fold AA in 3-bet pots." yep coz of the multitude of draws on this board, he might even consider that ur not folding AK AQ high there ! I definetely think that he would have JJ TT 55 44 JTs very often.

And I end up calling a lot there lifetime and they show me the nuts.

at 30.30 you call a 3bet from CO vs SB with 76cc then you justify not floating the flop too much of the time because this regular 3bets verry tight overall (6%). To me it s seems like a clear fold preflop unless this guy has big leaks postflop, do you agree in retrospect or do you still think you can show up  a profit there ?

Hi Raphael,

The KJdd vs nanonoko on that 3 bet, with tp+fd don't you ever think calling turn again? It's allways a shove to you? It's because you want to shove there all the good draws that you'll play all your range on blank turns either folding or shoving? What do you think about floating turn with made hands and draws, with no push strategy, and then bet vs missed rivers?

Thanks! Nice vid!
