4:23 its either a check raise which I like best or check fold. The only hand he is calling a check raise with is hand like JJ. He pretty much isn't repping anything. Even a back door flush draw probably cb that flop. So at this point when checks back bets the turn his range is weak but its possible he still betting a better hand we can make better hands fold with a check raise doesn't matter ifh e calls we have plenty of rivers we can bluff with. But his range is capped ours is not. So its either imo a check raise check fold. Say he is betting AT here on the turn and we call he has double gutter and 2 overs. 8 wont get to realize equity enough to profitably call here imo. I think ita great spot to check raise. I know it sucks we don't have equity but it aspot his range is weak enough we will get more folds by just raising the turn.

the A3o I think can be called since stacks are deeper. But i would only call if its opponent we can realize our equity. If he has high cb and barrel I would fold. Against a player who plays more honest post flop it worth gambling when we are around 130 bbs deep. I think people look to much at hand strength from each position and its sort of a mistake. The first thing we want to look at with marginal hands is how deep we are heads up with someone and also how he play post flop. These are spots you can win big and give big boost to win rate or lose small pot. These are the spots that give me higher win rate opening my range a little more vs deeper stacks. But at micros maybe its fold due to rake. I would still call and see a flop. 3b would be horrible cause he has position and playing deeper opponent will float a lot more to try hit big with gut shot and bluff if we have to check. So i think callling is optimal vs a more straight forward opponent post flop.

6:45 of video I fold the 89o its easy fold especially at these micros with only 100 bb effective stack depth. If we are deeper again I would call 120 to 130 bbs deep and I know its 3 way but again a spot to marginal and its not +ev over the long run unless stack depths are deeper. We just wont hit often to show a profit.

7:41 the AJo cb on 972 should fo check I disagree with betting. We have 2 overs but no real equity and i dont 'even like the small cb your just asking to get raised in this spot. And now a hadn like 8T or TJ type hand just blew you off the best hand. The villain will know that his his range hits hard so ya he can raise big hands here but also a lot of his weaker range thats going to raise that has no show down value. I really doubt he has big hand when he raises its more bluffs. They will trap with big hands on that kind of board. I know its good t ocb and take it down but when we have show down value that is beating a lot of his range that can't call a raise with no equity to go with it we are gonna end up folding the best hand quite often. So imo its easy check back with the AJ. I understand people want to play like sauce or do what pio says but this is a spot to check back we want to realize our equity not bet and face a raise with maybe the best hand. We want to think about our range and his range and what he will do with his range on that board.

12:15 is easy fold with the A4s. Your calling the flop on 2T5 with A4s with just back door flush draw op? You should be telling him not to do this and his range is much stronger from co vs ep raise. And we are op on top of it. He has TT here sometimes He as 22 and 55. . He can do whatever he wants on the turn he can check back or bet. And that hits his range pretty well. He has a lot of pocket pairs in that spot he is not even on the btn. His range stronger then btn range. I know we can have over pair here but when someone raises an ep cb from co they are usually pretty strong. There is just not many bluffs on this board. Very dry flop and his range is going to be weighted more to value hoping we have an over pair and even if hes bluffing he just going to barrel any over card with QKs. Our hand is way to weak to float here for this to be +ev spot. If we are ip i get it and on the btn where he cold calls much wider range but op this not going to show a profit. I am trying to word this nicely but to even consider floating is getting to cute and its leaking money away. Especially at micros. And i don't like the sizing again. I like it if it was 22T then ya go ahhead 1/4th bet. But this kind of board just do normal cb 1/2 to 2/3 or your just asking to get raised with back door draw and even T wont want to give you cheap turn.

Cobra,

I appreciate that you're leaving fleshed out comments, but please try to be more concise in the future. It's difficult to tell if you're actually looking for discussion from the way your messages read. I'll give you the benefit of doubt though because tone is hard to convey over text.

4:23
xr would be terrible. xf is just far too tight without a very specific read over a strong sample. We should be betting a ton of our Qx and some of our Jx. When we check, even considering the Jx we check, 8x is just far too high in our range to be folding here. Yes, a lot of his bluffs have equity, and the river will inevitably be tough if we xc and he bets. However, our highest EV option will still be to call turn. It's not as if his only turn bets are high equity combo draws (many of which would have bet flop), nor will he always barrel river.

A3o

no timestamp, so idk.

6:45

I could certainly get on board for just folding this. I've tightened up my BB play since the time of this recording. Regardless, I'd imagine that this is quite close to 0EV.

7:41

It's impossible for betting to be bad here. The correct counter to this bet would be an extremely high xr frequency, and you simply will not see that. You said that people will start bluffing aggressively and I strongly disagree. Filter your db (especially if you play micros) for flop 2b frequencies amongst regs. I assure you they'll be quite low, even if you can isolate for a 1/3 cb size.

12:45

Overcard + gutter + BDFD getting 3.6:1 is just too good to fold. It's quite easy for IP to get out of line by bluffing too many 3 straight + BDFD combos, especially if he doesn't call 22/55 pre (which I think would be losing FWIW).

Thanks for a good video Paul!

27:10. Table 2.
How about 3betting 66 there?

Hey Paul, thanks for doing this video series!

I'll have a proper look through it tomorrow and will no doubt come up with a few questions. Had a quick look through and saw some pretty suspicious post-flop folds and CO opens! Hope it's not all like that haha.

You really need to memorise your HUD pal.

This HUD O_O

thanks for vid, very informative !
27:10. Table 2 w 66
its a def. fold there?as by me its def. call there, set value and some eq on low decks, so i would be thankful if you will comment why here is def. fold
thanks a lot again !

Thanks for the video, really good one, but please activate windows (bottom right corner kek )
I also think people are playing way more passive then you exepct on this limits Paul
Atwal very often they will check back top pair with weak kicker, or second pair with high kicker even on turn in my experiance in zoom, tho that changes on normal tables for sure.
I have only played around 150k hands on 25nl 6bb before rakeback, but thats atleast my point of view ,people tend to be way tighter in zoom.
You said your self LAG good players from higher stakes even play tighter here, same goes for overall population of that is not weak players, they play very nitty with strong check back range.

i noticed that on all 4 games the stacks are in BB is there a way to change it to that while playing

Cobra Kai.
Longest comments in history ;-) lol

Hi ! Very good video! In the minute 9:44 you talk about videos we could see. From “ben..”
