Ah thanks!
very instructive review, i liked it a lot, thanks Gray! A few comments / questions:
- 13:50 we have seen this villain c-bet flop with a very high % and give-up most turn, I would donk on 6s turn, i think it's more +EV instead of a check here, especially given villain's tendencies
- 26:20 by 3-bet squeeze shoving 25bb, we increase our stack more than 25%, is that too much to 3-bet squeeze shove those type of hands? you would 3-bet-fold ATo here?
- 33:10 you 3-bet vs a ~39bb T9s, what are your reasons? is this mainly because we're not deep enough to flat those type of hands in BU?
13:50 - I think you are jumping to conclusions here based on not enough information. It might be better to lead here against this specific opponent, but it's pretty hard for me to have many bluffs when I take this line, maybe he will call or bluff raise too much when I lead, but I don't have enough reason to believe that he will.
26:20 - This would probably a profitable shove, but I prefer flatting. I would 3b/f ATo
33:10 - Since I am on the button, and it is an MP open, I do think flatting will be profitable. I would not consider flatting if I was in early position, and also think 3betting is more profitable, but I do prefer flatting over folding in this spot.
at 18:30: the 10-j o should be a check back to peel the turn bets and re-evaluate the river unless you have very little histroy with the villian....i feel a cbet makes it too easy for a skilled player in the BB.
No HUD in 2016!? old school man I do not get it.
What do you want for a check raise bluff rANGE at 22:30: My guess is a tight image with certain BB peeling stats and a LOWER percieved Cbet...it seems pretty tough to calll off for Rasa86 if we check raise bluff river here....but you are a skilled G so maybe a bit high.
28:25 on the river: If we had the ace of hearts: You would prefer a small bluff sizing right?
love the min 4bet with 10-10 right after we suck out on them. Sexy induce.
18:30 - Actually I think betting is just fine, why do you think cbetting makes it to easy for a good player in the BB?
I do use HEM2 but it wasn't working with the WTB format
22:30 - 9x would be a good hand to c/r bluff with since it blocks 99, which I believe he would be more likely to check back with than 77 or 66. I do think a c/r bluff would be pretty credible here, especially on the A river.
28:25 - With the Ah I would bluff around half pot. I don't get to the river this way with just Ah very often, the betting on flop and turn would likely be different.
Actually uncanny how similar I play to you. Just hearing your thought process is very reassuring. Still some great content here keep it up :)
Thanks for the kind words!
Gray the beast ;) , thx for the video , not a common format ^^ but enjoyed it a lot.
5:40 The 3bet pot where you flat with aces Preflop
Can you explain a little bit more about just calling with aces on this very drawy flop? I guess that was to keep his bluffs but, don't you think it might be better to just raise because many cards will kill the action?
And a general question about this format what should be our strategy on a win the button tournament ? I guess raise more and 3bet a lot our direct opponents on the right to avoid the Button ?
5:40 - You make a good point, especially without the Ac I should considering shoving, since it's unlikely he will fold an overpair. Flatting does keep all of his bluffs in, and I would presume a pretty big portion of his bluffs are KQ/KJ/QJ, all of which I have no need of protecting my hand against. These bluffs may also shove turn when they pair up or pick up straight draws, which is a great result for me.
Since there is more incentive to winning pots in this format, opening a little more is advisable. Like you said, not allowing the 2 players directly to your right to win pots is also important since them winning pots results in you paying the blinds. Because of this, flatting a little wider (especially when they raise your BB) and 3betting more when these players open are both good strategies. These are all adjustments that should be considered, but it is also important to not overdo it to the point where you are putting yourself in lots of unprofitable spots just for the opportunity to receive some future EV in the form of the button.
30:00 I cant understand ur turn call with AQ on the turn.. in my opinion hes not goin to have many bluffs here when you open early and he 3bets lo-jack. I can see him having lot of AK some rare AA QQ maybe KJo 79s not very often.. anyway isnt it just better to shove here with your holdings snice the board is so wet?
Shoving may be better since such a large part of his range is likely to be AK, which will usually be checking back river. He may also play AT the same way, which I definitely want to get value from as well. Theoretically, I would then also want to shove some semi-bluffs too.
