Excellent videos. Tue two of you exchanging ideas is great.

At 14:00 you mention vs a polar 3bet rng we should be flatting our prs with those short stack sizes. Are you intending on just calling every street and letting opponent bluff, or are you looking to jam raise a dry flop or turn?

If we have qq or jj instead of aa or kk is it more important to jam a dry flop?

Thanks.

I would generally not be looking to play aggressively post flop at all. The main reason behind flatting is that say for example JJ will either have 70%+ equity pre or 18%, so jamming doesn't make much sense. That continues to be the case for postflop, say there is an 862 board, JJ will still either have 80%+ equity or 10%, so jamming just doesn't achieve much.

At such short stacks is it safe to assume you are calling down with jj or qq no matter what?

Can you ever call a dry flop and fold a turn A or K?

Thanks.

Hey, yes I would be folding on bad runouts because their bluffs will usually contain a blocker card, so on an AKx board, well, they simply don't have any bluffs left.

At 29:00 in non icm spots are you cbetting 99 more often there?

At 27:20 i understand the reasoning for raising non ai ajo but if you are called, especially if you raise smaller as you talked about, and the flop is bad, you are in a tough spot.

You guys talk about how the amount of antes affects whether you can have a limp rng in the sb or raise or fold only. Can you please elaborate on that?

Thank you.

Regarding the 99 spot, yeah, I would surely be cbetting more often, but we still have to check a fair amount.

As for AJ, first, I won't really be doing much calling from the sb and sure, if the board is bad you're in a tough spot, but given how ranges are constructed, most boards will be very good for AJ.

The more ante in the pot, the less incentive we have to jam in order to steal the pot (as the pot is smaller and therefore the risk/reward is worse)

At 19:22, isn't the shove with Q3o too loose? It's a shove with Q5o+ at chip ev for 12.5 bbs and given that Sam is the clear short stack, he probably shouldn't be calling that much tighter than chip ev in this spot?

Alex Theologis 4 years, 1 month ago

There is a reason that hand wasn't supposed to be in the review! Joking, joking. Yeah you are right it is probably a pip or two too loose. However I think there is a chance BB might miss a couple of calling hands, for example if I jam 65% he is supposed to call k4o, q8o, j8s, t9s etc which if true might make the jam profitable. But yeah, I agree with you.
