Great continuation of the series.

6:00 I always thought that low full houses shouldn't be slow played in general simply because in those spots our opponent will have a lot of overpairs that can out draw us and they will call bets almost always.

12:30 when we have the flush blocker do we ever use that to bluff with if the flush comes in, or do we need the ace of suit for that?

It would be interesting to see some turn spots for these hands as well.

Thanks!

Hello!

6:00 Yes, our opponent would call for sure with overpairs and they do have the possibility to outdraw us. But we are playing in loose positions, and we should think about our opponent’s overall range. When we heavily block their continuing range e. g. those overpairs or nut flush draws, or both FD and SD, we apply slow play. By betting we would get a lot of folds, so we check back hoping to induce some delayed bluffs and giving them the opportunity to hit a pair with their unpaired hands, and then call on later streets drawing dead. Moreover, with an overpair they have just 2 outs, and we shouldn’t be much concerned about giving them free cards.

12:30 No, usually we don’t want to turn trips into a bluff, especially in real games, where people reluctantly fold flushes in 3-bet pots. But we can use a high FD blocker for bluff-catching on the river, for example, when on the turn the action goes check-check on a flushing turn card.

Another super great video. You make complicated concepts very easy to understand and to remember. Thank you very much.
