I was thinking as you c/c the turn there are a several river cards that you definitely don't want to see [AKQ8]. And with 12k behind and potentially 12k in the pot I would lean towards a c/r for protection over a c/c, knowing you have the best hand a lot of the time in this situation.

Great Video! Lots of interesting and not so obvious bluff spots. you were playing your A-game.

Not a huge deal, but you open KK74 in the CO with the button 3-betting 22% of hands (over a small sample though)

Shouldn't that be an open fold pre-flop in a tough game like this? Your hand plays terrible in 3-bet pots OOP deep. Also you have a short stack in the BB, so if BTN flats you're often facing a squeeze where you're not doing well vs his range as well.

I am very interested to hear about the last hand of the video where I cold 4bets with KQT9ss. You said you really didnt like the cold 4bet, but as we could see it you and Zuccs22 were very deep and Zuccs22 will be 3betting a very wide range there in position deep. Dont you think that this cold 4bet is a great play to get zucs to call with a ton of rundown that I dominate and also to fold a ton of hand that dominate me like AKx, KKx AQJx and with this cold 4bet Ill also be able to win on a ton of dry flops like 33x Axx and etc. Could you please elaborate on why you think thats a bad 4bet ? Once again a great video. regards.

Hey guys. I've been on vacation on just my phone (surrounded by other people), so I'm gonna have to wait a little to respond to Qs that require me to recheck the hands.

Thanks for your patience and keep the questions coming.

~3:20 you end up on the river on 742d Jd Td (i think) runout, and decide to pot Axdd, and choose to do it with some Adx hands as well, and go on about how that's the best play with the nuts, but what's your strategy for your non Axdd flushes you backdoor into?

~9:15, you bet K75ddh, bet 9hh turn with JT8hh, and then decide not to pot a river donk on a 6o, and raise the 1.2k lead to 2.9k and say you dont like potting when you can run into the nuts. Why does this matter, and can you compare this to the Add han before?

^^ When you have the Ad its impossible to run into the nuts which means you can bluff at 100% frequency in that spot and never run into the nuts as you block the only way they can make it. In the second hand even if you have say 88xx  you dont block all the combinations of the nuts, so if you started potting it with a range of nuts and blockers, you would still probably run into the nuts or a one card straight that calls at too high a frequency to make bluffing profitable. Therefore you dont pot with the nuts so you can bluff with other hands in your range.

As for how to play your other flushes think some ppl just have a potting range with Ax flushes and then add in the Kx, Qx however far you go (and the relevant blockers) if the opponent plays their range in an unbalanced way or just a way in which the 2nd nut or 3rd nut flush will not be beat. The other option is to play a mixed strategy where you bet smaller with the other ones, but then have to be prepared to react to opponents bluff raising, and thin value raising. From the other perspective if you know that your opponent plays like this and you have the second nut flush it is important to pick up on this and value raise

lets see a 6card plo phil curious 2 know how you feel about the game starting hands etc..

Really like this PLO5k series, thank you Phil!

Great video
