Thanks for this really amazing series.
A couple questions on the AKJ7 on JJT87 board at 36:00:
1. What prompted the assumption be made that villain will shove TT here for value? Is this a population tendency seen on Stars 50PLO? I'm playing 10 or 25 stakes on much softer sites and it seems that the population would most likely value/block small on the river w TT, the blanket rationale being they wouldn't assume the hero is capable of folding J8 and most times J7, and betting small could even value bare trips or straights. Would TT be potted as a bluff here?
2. Even that we open fairly wide in CO, by Cbetting 3way then calling CR on flop, our range should be very strong and we have a lot of nut JT-A/K/Q, unafraid of turns and rivers and thus calling off, some J8s, and trips J-A/K/Q (at least two of them) ranges that have redraw, since we called 2/3 on turn. This is probably the whole of our range besides some TTs. Then shipping river in villain's shoes would be a huge mistake as it forces Jx to fold? We've already made the assumption that villain is almost never bluffing here.
3. How does unblocking Q9 here affect our decision to make a hero call, if at all?
Hey tokyojin !
Thank you for the comment and interesting questions :)
That hand was quite interesting indeed and I remember that once I wrapped up this video that this hand was really bugging me :D. I think its a pretty interesting one where we are pretty much forced to fold River given the way the pool plays.
1) I think if we are about to consider whether TT is a jam or not, it is purely a decision if we want to go for value or not. So the questions here is whether it is a good jam with TT and from which worse hands we are getting called by. As you have already identified it is pretty hard to get called by worse in this spot, which makes TT on the River much more of a block or x/c type of hand, depending if we block some other pairs (8 or 7) on the board to block some full house combinations in our opponents range.
2) Pretty much agree with everything you say here. I rewatched that part of the video and heard myself saying once we face the x/r on the Flop that villain is pretty much never bluffing in that spot. For some reason I didn't take that too much into consideration when being faced with the tough River decision. I think it is really about "connecting the dots" on the River to potentially come up with a herofold and maybe make some tight folds on the Turn since we are only drawing to 6 nutted outs. But TT is still likely in the Turnbettingrange so I'm having a hard time folding here, particularly against that sizing.
3) If BB would consider valuejamming TT on the River, then it would probably be nice to have a Q, 9 or both in our hand to justify herocalling J7/J8 on the River since our opponent then has less TTQ or TT9 combinations which makes it more likely to get value from straights from his perspective.
Best regards,
