Hey
Good vid. Min 32. Are you always betting in Brians spot on the Flop? I guess the Flop is some what connected and we don´t want to give BB some free cards. What if it was HU vs you on the BU, favor a bit more checking? We rarely have 3 barrels with this hand.
As played what do you think of block on the River in Brians spot?
His hand should do a little bit of both on the flop. As for blocking the river, I think his hand is strong enough and may be higher EV than checking. (I haven’t ran it, maybe you can and get back to us?)
Hey
I ran a sim for that spot. I ignored Doug overcalling the BB since Pio only does HU spots.
Hijack opening range: 22+,A9o+,A2s+,KTo+,K6s+,QTo+,Q7s+,JTo,J8s+,T8s+,97s+,87s,76s,65s,54s
BU calling range:
TT:0.5,99-22,AQo:0.5,AJs:0.5,AJo,ATs-A6s,A5s:0.5,A4s:0.5,A3s:0.5,A2s:0.5,KQs:0.5, KQo,KJs,KJo:0.5,KTs-K9s:0.5,QJs-QTs,QJo:0.5,Q9s:0.5,JTs,J9s:0.5,T9s,98s,87s,76s
Don´t think we can go to crazy on the button since both blinds are short. Hands with 0.5 weight are between 3betting/folding or calling/folding pre.
I only gave oop roughly the betsizes he used in game to not complicate the tree too much and gave him 3 betsizes on the river.
So Pio favours block over check with ATs in this spot.
Little side note: Vs check pio bets 30% IP with the AsQx combos (with 100% freq) against A9o A9s A8s KJo KJs. Although I am not sure if KJo KJs gets to the river often enough in Brians spot.
great vid! love the format!
at 21min, you say u wud block bet 87 and missed diamonds also and they benefit a bit from this play but dont they mostly probe or c/r turn? 87 really wants to chk call and small diamonds (that benefit from him folding j9 t9 etc) rly wanna chk call?
You’re definitely right about non-showdown+strong draw wanting to favor aggressive lines that force folds on the turn. We will want to dabble in small % of this hand class into other lines vs. the toughest players.
What did you think of Doug folding KJo pre to the 3bet at 22:00?
I think it's very close but a call is probably better than a fold.
26:21? Did I see an Ace of Spades on the bottom of the deck? WTF
I don't understand why you bet 25% pot on the river around minute 21 with K3 on the K65Q6 board. If you were bluffing, you could bet bigger representing trips. You say it was a blocking bet size, but you don't want to block bet. You can call if he bets, and he is unlikely to bet really big here.Plus, you are more likely to have a difficult decision versus a large raise of the block bet than against a large bet if you check. Don't you get more value by betting larger or checking and bluff catching?
Most of your range is checking the river. We will play low % of leads on the river to serve 1 main function: to allow my bottom of range/raggy missed draws that were played passively (Ie: a hand like 87, or lets say T-high diamonds that will occasionally check-call instead of lead or check-raise turn) the opportunity to win the pot. We cannot risk large amounts of money with these hands because they have the worst card-removal qualities and make it more likely we will be called by a made hand. For that reason you will want to play a block that is a small size. All you are attempting to do is get folds from the weakest parts of their range that would have bluffed the river. A few of my kings, especially the ones with a side card that matches my bluffs, will make for a reasonable river lead.
Not sure if I am supposed to continue the discussion. I see you are using the same sizing you would use for bluffs, but I am not sure if it is necessary, as your opponent may not have the same idea you do about how to size bluffs. So it seemed to me that you were needlessly making a less than optimal play with this hand. Maybe people at this level could exploit the different sizing, but we don't need to balance perfectly unless opponents can take advantage of the difference.

TexasFoldUmmm - I know I'm a year and a half late here, but the ace was face-up on the top of the deck, almost certainly due to it being exposed preflop when the dealing was taking place. It is standard practice to replace the exposed card (that was flipped up/exposed during the deal) with a fresh card and use that exposed card, in this case the ace, as the first burn card when dealing the flop.
Doug's hair looks amazing. My only criticism is that he should have been wearing a tank top.
