23:00 u menton OTR we can have 16 combos of AQ. Do u think we have to call any AQ on the flop? Like tbh I call flop with bdfd here only usually. This is also reason I did bet small on the turn but ur explanation made a ton of sense.
No problem, thanks for the footage! Sorry it took so long to come out, I made my videos in kind of a weird order and so the order of release got switched around a bit.
As for the hand, I definitely call all bdfd's, and think calling 100% of AQ is probably not right. If you only get to the turn with 3 AQ then I think the sizing you chose is pretty reasonable.
Hi Steve, 20:50 the KJo on 943r board, can we make two smallish bet (like 40% pot)on flop and turn to put pressure on villain's high cards? I think on this board as 3better we have pretty good range advantage. Don't think bet once and giveup works well.
Around 30 mins top right, you say your standard is to just call the 2x raise and call, in the BB with KQs instead of squeezing vs two likely weaker players, Why is this exactly? I would of thought it was a very standard squeeze to isolate any of the weaker guys with such a strong hand, Do you think there is just more value in keeping them in with these kind of hands that are strong and can make a lot of super strong hands, as opposed to KQo? AQo? Type hands.. Thanks!
Good question. I think if you know that both are weaker players then it's definitely a good squeeze - in the video I was a little confused about the weak player tag but only 6 hands in the hud. In the past I would never squeeze vs a reg's utg open with KQs there but recently I've been trying out a much less polarized 3 bet range vs ep and I think I might disagree with past Steve on this one.
Hi! Thx for the video! At 27:00 the AQ hand vs. unknown fish I think it's not a huge mistake to fold the flop imo. True my experience most fish just call with FD's, call with top pair's and end up raising twopair+. Ofc there are exeptions but still we are mostly facing multiple barrels and I don't see villain bluffing this runout like ever tbh.
15:54 - DW is opening only 16% Co and folding 63% vs 3b (if i`m reading it correctly) + 4betting a lot, you suggested 3 betting 87s over flatting.
I think flatting here and 3 betting blockers is way more superior, also by 3betting you move a hand that plays well in SRP to where it performs poorly (3BP).
hand 1, that's just too small a sample to draw those kinds of conclusions imo. His button/sb open make the co # look pretty suspect, and through 258 hands his 4bet stat is probably 2/7 or 4/14 which is not really something I'm going to take into consideration much. Think his 5M vpp badge (plus he used to be team online) makes it more likely he's a standardish reg who's had a slightly strange run of cards/spots.
hand 2, I guess maybe? Think vs a weaker player the random button clicking factor is too much for me to fold 3 aces.
At 39:30 the hand played against the fish limpcalling preflop I like that you say we shouldn't cbet without at least backdoor equity, but fish range will always be incredibly weak and he's most likely going to fold a lot on turned broadway cards. Do you really think turn should not be barreled? I mean turned aces and kings in almost any hand are no brainer bluffs against a fish but a queen is also scary enough for him to fold many of his ace highs and 3rd/4th pairs or random floats.
Great post I was thinking the same thing. Yes it is not balanced, but I felt my population read is strong enough to make this play with pretty much my entire range.
You just rely on him being super loose on the flop, but then too tight on the turn. If he continues with most/all pairs and most/all draws, you basically just get folds from Axs/Ks floats that didn't turn hearts. Plus if his flop call range is really that wide I'm quite skeptical about your flop cbet.
So while I'm sure there are players against whom this is a good barrel against, a green tag and no sample is not enough for me to deviate as far as raising super wide pre, cbetting everything and double barreling everything on a Qs turn.

First of all. Thanks!

Hi Steve, Good video. Like the format.

17 min bottom left - fold river with A3s.
