Hi Paul,

My question is how is it that you get heads up in every video??

Yours, Jono's and Espen's...

If you can only teach me that I would appreciate it a lot

Thanks!

Ah and congrats btw!

Is flatting an option here with K7s? Illini has been opening really wide and I think we will realize our equity if we hit a 7 or K or draw against his opening range

Hi plg, thanks =) although for every heads up there are plenty of ft bubbles 7-9ths etc im sad to say.  I think its probably easier reflecting on good results/deep runs which is why it seems this way, but sadly not the case haha.

Hi Martin.  Flatting would probably be fine here, although I think we're going to have a hard time getting a lot of chips unless we are intending on making some hero calls.  It kind of feels like we are starting the hand with a bluff catcher which is fine, but I think i'd prefer to be slightly more in control of the hand vs someone like Illini.

I see weaker players at my level tank shoving with Aces and Kings. It's the reverse psychology at your level, and yeah they would wanna make it look like AK or AQ and just snap shove. Interesting differences from level to level.

At 14:37 the opponent min raises.  I was confused to, but then I thought about it and to me it looked like he was trying to price his river call, hoping that you check back the river and he could check behind with what he thinks is showdown value, or he is hoping that you check the river after he raises the turn so that he doesn't have to make a big call on the river.  What do you think?

At 28:00 you raise fairly small.  I think there is merit to raising larger, almost forcing one of your opponents to commit or fold on the flop.  Reason being, there are not a lot of good turn cards for you to get you more action.  There are a ton that can kill your action, and also based on the way the hand was played preflop, when you raise the flop large you can rep a big draw and it forces an over pair to call.  What do you think?

At 33:35 if he's open limping there, we should take note to see if he's capable of open limp inducing.  The only time I like to open limp lp is if the players are super soft post flop and 3 bet super wide pre

At 41:52 do you ever just call there as you're not risking losing much, and it's hard for you to get value by shoving or 3betting?  I sometimes like to call there to balance my range and you're almost guaranteed to get a c bet out of him should an Ace or King flop right?

43:50 considering how draw heavy the board is and how deep you both are do you really think that his check raise is really that big especially if he's trying to get stacks in?

Hi Ben.

Ye I think at 14.37 he is kind of putting ak into the same category as tt here and just trying to charge draws and stop himself facing a bet on the river.

Ye at 28.00 I think i mentioned making it larger is fine, so I agree. Although the larger I make it the less it looks like a bluff (even though I dont think too many ppl turn qko into a bluff here for example) and the less I want someone to make a big fold with a hand with potentially 2 outs.

Regarding open limping, I do it hardly ever so don't have much to offer regarding this strategy.  Imo, not a good plan but am happy to be proved wrong =).

At 41.52 I don't think he should be allowed to see 3 cards with only 15.5x behind so am not into flatting here.  Can see the logic if the stacks were a little different or we were on the bubble etc.. but I think anything other than 3b or jam is a mistake.  What do we do when it comes Q73 1 heart?

At 43.50, I think if he has a Q on this board its almost impossible for me to have a hand that gets a stack in here so there's more chance the chips he will make will be from making me spew/hero call, therefore making a big c/r with a hand didn't really make sense in my head on this kind of board.  But maybe you are right, he could just have a good hand and think making it big to get stacks in is the best way to go.
