Hey Seth, thanks for video.

18:02 you said that is pretty hard to win this pot checking back. Given how his range hit this board, I guess it also, pretty hard to win cbetting. A favourable runout would be any offsuit A/K/Q/J that you can delay cbet and get the same results (since you need to fire multiple barrels anyway to win this pot), since one pair Tx and 9x hands won't be able to call two streets very often. The only hands I see folding folding to a flop cbet are 77-22 or some Ax suited hands, hands that you have plenty of equity with bdfd and two overs. I usually check on this spots but I am not sure about it.

I feel it's better to cbet this spot and keep my range uncapped and look to triple a lot. Not very many MTT players are conscious of defending their check/call ranges on wet boards like this so I'm really comfortable bet/folding flop and cbetting/barreling vs his check/call range. Yes, the flop cbet itself might not show immediate profit but giving up the lead and capping my range isn't going to work out for me very well, especially when I have a hand that's pretty solid to barrel on lots of runouts.

Apologies for the wall of text :)

12:00 JTss, Are you betting this flop because of the BDFD? you explain you want to start bluffing on this river? are you double barreling the turn vs one player? if any nonheart non broadway rolls off? trying to fold QJs KQ ?
sb leads the turn.Pretty hard to imagine that he leads anything but Tx on this turn card. 98hh if he even peels pre in the sb potentially but it seems a little suicidal to lead that here given you can have Tx, Would it not make a little more sense to peel? and try to fold him off chops if the board pairs? p.s i think he likely x/r almost all Txhh aside t9hh, getting it in vs T9hh though would be a disaster.

@14:00 definitely like x/r here with A9o.
@20:00 Definitely prefer c betting, fold out very small PPs, Not sure why you're betting big river to valuebet. you chop with Jx, Just bet incredibly small? Get a horrible hero from 22 or make him x/r a bluff vs 1/8th pot bet?

@21:45 KK Bit confused why Maxim Jams here? Leading small sure, but jamming? AK? or 22? Just a little confusing given that you can have AK in your range here occasionally. Surely betting small with Ax from maxim makes more sense?

@22:00 53cc is calling turn standard for you? on a paired board? half pot bet, How often do you think you win the hand on non club rivers? Some reverse implied odds? Does raising the turn have any merit? or just reps too thin (A2 K2s), given you likely 3bet TT,JJ pre.

@26:00 Kinda like overbetting/potting this river when the diamond bricks. would probably bet normal sizing if we hit a diamond but i think we can rep alot of air especially when the diamond bricks.

@30:00 given that villain has to play pretty honest on the turn, are you ever floating here with say KJs with bdfd? Thoughts on betting 1.5k on the turn? get him to make a poor call with big cards say AK thinking we have JJ type hands sometimes

32:00 You say you're looking to 3bet 5bet here, Do you not think we're a little deep to do so? im usually looking to 3/5 around 40/50bbs you were 85bbs deep? guessing this was your 3bet was very large, is that your standard 3bet size that deep, or was this kind of exploitative with small pairs.

34:00 99 definitely opened by eyes 3betting wider for value sb vs ep, tend to be incredibly polarised 30bbs deep

35:30 97s do you think his river bluff is good here? how often are you checking back A high here/ calling turn/river?

37:00 99 you say you want to 3bet 5bet here, do you not think we're pretty deep here to shove over a 4bet, would you ever flat vs a 4bet or always jamming?

38 KJhh, Prefer a fold. On reflection what would you peel here?

Great video,
Came 24th in this tournament myself! cannot remember if we ever battle but look forward to more!

12:00 JTss - Yeah, with a BDFD I think this is a real good hand to cbet and look to fire multiple barrels with on brick runouts and when I turn spades or a jack. Yeah, exactly I'm trying to get folds from those AT/KQ/QJs hands by the river. The turn is pretty interesting and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. You make a good point that he doesn't have tons of heart-heart combos to lead so maybe just calling and looking to bluff him off a chop on some board-pairs is the move.

20:00 KJo - I like that, I think a small bet works out pretty nice here for the reasons you stated.

21:45 KK - Yeah I think his play is okay. It definitely depends on how he's playing AK in this spot. If he has all AK in his range (which is perfectly reasonable) then he's going to have a range advantage vs me on this river given he doesn't have any bluffs and I do. So I don't mind his jam.

22:00 53cc - Vs this size I think calling turn is close. I can get behind any of the three options really.

26:00 ATdd - I like a big size on this river. Shoving for his 3.5k into 2.9k seems like a good size.

30:00 AA - Floating this flop seems good given I should have more Qx than him so my AJ/KJbdfd hands seem like the best candidates. A small turn bet IP with my range looks pretty clean too.

32:00 66 - I'm going to 3b my whole continuing range in this spot with these stacks so small pairs play pretty well as 3b/5b hands just with their hot&cold equity. This is definitely the size I go with everything unless I have some read/stats about how he responds to 3bets.

34:00 99 - Keep in mind this guy is wider in all spots than most so just keep yourself in check vs tighter openers.

35:30 97s - I think his bluff is okay, not thrilled about it though. I think he can choose some better hands to bluff with like 87s/T8s that block some of my Jx and 9x hands instead of KQ that blocks my AK/AQ hands.

37:00 99 - 3b/peeling seems ok but I hate to let his bluffs realize all their equity and it's just so hard for me to get to showdown with this hand. I think just running my equity pre and utilizing my fold equity in these spots is going to workout best.

38 KJhh - Peeling something like AJs/KQs/AQs maybe? I'd like some hands that do a little better vs his bluffs.

Thanks for the kind words and gg. Great comment.

seems that you getting owned by JWPRODIGY because you defending all is opens and then chek folding allot. I think I would 3bet some of this hands pre or chekraise some flops even without equity. What do you think?

Seth Davies 10 years ago

I only have to realize ~18% of the pot with a weak range to make money, so I'm going to be check-folding a lot.

Love seeing these video's on RIO, makes me feel much better about my own game and mistakes i make. Especially when i see you jam 77 vs a ep open, mp 3bet and cold 4bet which was 1/3 of his stack, thats like pretty terrible ;-)

Anyway, love your video speed in discussing hands, much better then other video where they overdiscus every street for more then 5 minutes.

36:24 i think AJs on a 276K board is a pretty std delayed cbet?

40:20 you defend 67o vs tight player, i think turn is a fold against this opponent/stack, i think he is almost never bluffing here, implied odds are not enough?

i like how you just accept your beat and easily fold, like the KK hand early, its hard to fold but the intuition just lets you know its right decision... and it has no effect on the next hand you play... something i need to work on.... the only baffling play was the 77... this shocked me, like you said highly ambitious i just cant see that ever getting folds, can you elaborate on your thinking here? Also when your in late position you 3 bet with 66 and said happy to 5 bet this hand... would it have been a 5 bet fold? you also do this with 99 and mention happy to get this in but the stack depth of yourself and opponent is 50bb+ ...surely getting that in is rarely v a lower pair... do you just go with it because of the power of a pair and take these spots on just to me seems high risk. love the videos and the speed in which you run through hands. Good Job Seth look forward to watching the rest soon

Seth Davies 9 years, 9 months ago

Hey Kid, thanks for the praise. Glad you're liking the speed of the vids.
About the 99 and 66 hands. I think these are great candidates to 3b/5b all-in in these positions. These are spots where villain is going to be 4b/folding a lot. 99 and 66 have a lot of hot and cold equity and the extra chips I pick up when he 4b/folds makes me like a 3b/5b line.
