More quizzes please. Everyone likes quizzes.
Enjoyed watching it! Invited to interact and stay focused while watching
Appreciate it!
Great video, more please!
yusss we need more
In the future videos you should avoid pronouns in the answers, sometimes its hard to understand if "he" means hero or villain
i enjoyed this format, nice video!
Great video. Was actually telling my coach I wish there were quizzes. I hope this becomes a common video type.
Great idea, I think exams like this are the way forward. It's often hard to know how sharp you are at a given time, if you made a bigger standardized version with say 50 questions that people could take to see how on point they are, and as a result and if should play today, that would be great. My biggest leak, is playing when I'm not 100% and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Sometimes you don't know until it's too late that you're not on form.
This would give a gauge of sharpness combined with a revision tool, to keep you up to date on poker logic.
Hi Keiran,
Thank you for this series, good concept. I watched all 3 videos.
I have question for one hand in this video. In 22:03 on KK5 with JTs73H you say that it is standard bet because we cant call with turned backdoor equity.
My question is if we bet the flop and get called and hit the backdoor draw ie.open ender or flush draw and its checked to us do we bet here or check back to reallize our equity. What factors are crucial in decision wheter to bet or not.
Thanks for watching!
So as in so many spots like this, it's incredibly dependent on the opponent. What's their range for check-calling flop? A very standard c/c would be AAxx, but given we were effectively in the CO and they were in the BB -- there are some opponents who would 3-bet all of their AAxx combos (yet some who would flat a high %). In terms of lower pairs QQxx is a very likely candidate for a c/c range, but opponents will differ greatly with say 9975. Will they c/r a hand like K987 or c/c? Generally, the weaker their c/c range the more inclined we'll be to barrel our turned equity (although there are certainly exceptions).
It also matters what the specific draw is. If we turn the FD w/ a 2c -- unlikely to improve them (given we're blocking clubs). If we turn an OE w/ the Q, there's both the increased chance that they've turned a boat w/ QQ, in addition to the consideration of their turning additional equity with say AAJ4 or JJT6. Do we think they're the type of opponent to c/c a hand like TTxx on the flop, then turn it into a c/r bluff on a brick turn? In this exact spot there isn't a turn in the deck that gives us a draw we're ecstatic about -- but these are some factors you can think about in similar situations.
Would you please explain the reasoning for the first example? If the villain does not have a lot of bluffs, then why would hero want to bet here?
I wouldn't want to inflate the pot with a set OOP on a board where it's likely villain has a straight.
@27 min, we have the nut flush, unless these colors are out of whack and that isn't the case??...this isn't a turn bluff. Not sure what point is trying to be made here...
Sure. Stack sizes are very relevant here -- villain only has 2x pot remaining. So, given our middle set + gutter we're not thinking in terms of inflating the pot against a likely better hand -- we're thinking about extracting maximum value against a range that is behind (though of course, situationally he could be ahead). Given that intent we still might want to check to induce, but in this spot we don't think he has low wraps or weak FDs -- so betting remains the best of our available options.
@27min -- board is AdQsTs4c (and we have KdKhTh4s). Looks fine to me!
I think this format is great as you get immediate feedback.
