Good video once again, thx.  At 17:17 with KQo on A104 flop, where we flop 2 overs to the second card, a gutter and backdoor flush draw, I prefer in this spot to check back the flop.  First, we have a decent amount of equity and a free card is not something to frown upon.  Secondly, that puts him in a spot where he has to reveal somewhat his hand by his turn decision.  I would expect him to lead out on turn fairly often and that gives us a chance to raise his bet, making his call with a draw a bad one.  It also polarizes our range the same way that double barreling would, but I believe shows more strength.  Also, it increases our flop checking range, which I have been working on.  Thoughts?

Referring to the first hand you really got into with AJ. I don't think it really matters if you increased your 3b sizing as far as him folding. The only thing a bigger 3b would do imo is induce a jam pre. I'm with you that he most likely doesn't have AQ,AK, but he certainly could make this play with worse aces and maybe even some suited broadway hands. You're raising in LP so it's not like your 3b has to be super strong, so a lead jam can def work here with given stack sizes more often than not. I think his bet is fantastic as long as he is doing it with his entire range. Without stoving his range I'd guess it's a borderline losing call if you make it. Like you said, 25-30k I snap as well. I came up with a range of 22-66 ATo-AQo, A8s-AJs, KQo, KTs+. I would assume he's 4b jamming 77+ and AQ+ with his stack. I don't see him flatting AQo or AJs a ton, but enough.

Hi Guys, sorry for the delay in replying..

Hi Jean, I think checking back flop is certainly an option. I'm not sure how I feel about raising his turn lead however as I feel we are probably not folding out his value range and we're ahead of his bluffing range.  Unless you think he will bet fold 99 or you think he'll continue to bluff the river and don't want to call I don't think a turn raise would make much sense.  However, I do like your idea of having a stronger checking back flop range (or per sieved one).

Hi Dialingup, agree with the likely ranges you came up with, although I think my 3b should look fairly strong given his stack, so would feel his most likely hand is small pairs trying to fold out a possible AT-AK.  I think the question is should I make the 3b slightly larger to force an all in pre if im folding to a stop'n'go.  Or should I just call his jam?  Coz it can't be a good plan to 3b and fold to his open jams =)
