thejericho2,
Some interesting hands. The last hand you analyze, AcJh on Tc5cTd turn Js river 8c, I would have thought as you did that the Ac would be a better blocker than having Jc. Why do you think that is? Seems like having Jh is better because that removes all JTs combos. Does villain not raise A hi flush draws on flop? I guess if villain only raises non nut flush draws then that could make sense. Curious what you think.
Thanks
I think that it's because Ac might be blocking some bluffs like AcQx or Ac9x where as Jc will only be blocking value (he should never be turning TP into a bluff after binking it ott). That would be my explanation.
thejericho2,
Great video. Always enjoy how you explain spots in terms of how you think about a spot as well as the solver work that you walk through afterwards.
Thanks
Thanks a lot, much appreciated :)
That first hand was interesting. I probably don't float turn, but I would never have bluffed river. I don't see having enough value combos to include a5. I also don't see having enough kx.
7:50 solver shows a preference for calling a5 over a4. Is that because the 5 has some interaction with the 98 for future straights?
Great review. Thanks!
Yeah that hand was v interesting. I believe so yeah; it can hit runner runner w 7x and 6x for the other end of the straight.
