So at 7:00 min, what the best play would be w/ KTo, just to fold pf ?
I think it's best to just call it this deep vs that weak of a player. I shouldnt expect to get squuezed behind very often for the same reasons that my 3-bet was bad. I think we can make lots of speculative cheap calls preflop vs this type of opponent.
Nanonoko is sick ;)
Nice video. Was fun watching you battle against Nanoko and the Chinese player. Which reminds me, I need to go play in Macau!
30.28 QJo - How do you feel about checking back on the flop? He's never folding Ax or better, and when we check, in his eyes we never have air and is less likely to try to bluff us. Only downside is that we give him the chance to hit with hands that would of folded to the flop cbet. We still can make him fold even if he hits with two delayed strong bets. Opinions on this strategy?
Sure he's never folding anything better on flop and checking back the flop and potentially betting later streets is an option too and Ill do this sometimes. I disagree that we never have air when we check back the flop though, if you never check back total air here you are doing something wrong. In those small pots its sometimes hard to say if 1 line is significantly higher EV than the other so if I dont know what is best I generally mix in both.
Sounds good, TY! I often find myself betting 100% of my air in that spot. What subsection of my range should I be looking to check back as give ups? How often and under what conditions should I be looking to make a delayed bet unimproved?
I know these questions are somewhat general. Still would love to hear some of your thoughts.
Nice series so far!
I have no idea what a GTO strat look like in that situation. I think c-betting 100% of your air is not great and potentially very exploitable so Ill just kind of randomly check back a fair amount of air unless Im up vs an opponent who clearly overfolds flops. But my overall strat is not well defined, there isnt a single air combo that I would c-bet 100% or that I would ck back 100%. I guess thats wrong and I should have a much better idea of what Im doing.
Hey Raphael, I really enjoy your videos.
It lessens my anguish when you say that your overall strategy is not well defined. It seems that the more work I do away from the tables, the more conflicted I get about different strategy choices, which seems counterintuitive.
The reason my overall strat is not well defined is not because I get confused but definitely because I am still lazy to put much work away from the tables! I strongly believe the future in poker will not be for lazy players but for the hardworking ones.
