Hey Parker, thanks for reviewing my footage. My avatar says: "Always gangsta!"
Just to clarify the first big pot; He didn't bet turn. He cb flop, check/called turn.
I always check the pop-up for the specific position of the 3b stat/co open or btn open etc. I never make a play based on what the total [insert stat] says. I just feel like the hud gets a bit messy with too many stats, but I should probably fix that.
Unfortunately I played sub-optimal in some spots, you mentioned them all, except I think you missed an unnecessary 4B bluff that I made w/K7o which I should've just folded to the 3B. I probably was a bit affected of the fact that I was recording.
I think the 2nd half of the footage had some interesting spots as well, so it would be awesome to see that part too.

Oops, in that case your bet is even better here as I expect you to nearly always have the best hand.

Couldn't have been that bad, it's a good hand to choose, especially for the cameras :) .
Reasoning behind the QTs flat otbtn vs utg open (at around 37min mark) was because of the possible weak player in the sb playing 59/39 or something after 28 hands. Would you still rather 3B in this spot?
i think once villain POT bets the turn and we call after checking back the flop i`m not sure if we shud even valuebet the river Jo since his turnbetsize polarises him to at least KJ or better vs air imo. meaning once he checks the K river we face a range that is air (can`t call anyways), KQ or smth. that has us beat. further it´s not like we´re repping lots of bluffs by xb flop, call POT bet turn then bet river right?
call me weak but in that given scenario i think it`s better to xb river after his turn betsizing.
pokerstrategy.com Board: 2h6h8cKsJd Equity Win Tie
that`s about the range i think he will continue with on the river (reduced KJ and KQ combos cause he`s perceived to 3bet some of those)
i highly doubt he`s ever potting the turn with smth. like TT and then x/c river.
-> xb river, only bet river (to bet/call) if we have a read he`s taking this pot turn bluff x/shove river vs a capped range with random air (which is not very likely imo).
Very good analysis here and I think you bring up a good point.
Also remember that he can pot the turn with various Jx bluffs that will river a jack and then may want to check-call. I'm not sure if this adds enough combos though.
I think your suggestion of checking back the river due to his range is probably the best play here, although certainly not an obvious one, when looking at a board this dry.
In both of these hands, Hero caps his range by checking back the turn, but then he decides to bluff the river when checked too. In Villain's shoes, do you always find a call here? I often level myself into folding against regs in these spots. Because even though he isn't repping much, it's just a really bad line to take as a bluff.
thanks a lot for this serie, it helps me a lot since im playing 1/2 and want to move up to 2/4 as well.
min 39.00 : you say you consider 5bet jamming A5s which is a good hand to 5bet jam light with , but against a high 4bet percentage you say. how much 4bet% minimum for villain would you jam? thank u!
Thanks! Off the top of my head I think it's about 11 or 12% where it will start to be profitable. But I haven't done the math recently and it is affected by his exact calling range.
hi i know this is an older vid, an perhaps youve answered this elsewhere, but ive just joined trying to catch up, u mentioned his HUD layout and how some of his stats werent perhaps necessary, i wonder if u could share ur HUD stat layout...or perhaps recommend one for the $2/4 level

Also, I just wanted to add one thing:

No, in that case it's better as a flat.
Really cool vid and a format I think a lot of pros on here should look to do inc. the MTT guys.
Thanks John, stay tuned for Part II.
Nice format, easier to learn something when you see the mistake first

Totally agree, our perceived range should be pretty much 100% AK, I would never expect a good reg to x/c the river after the line taken.
great clarity and analysis. loved the format. awesome vid.
