Ok thanks, I called and lost to Q-10. Just a simple spot that I thought perhaps Im calling too often.
Jan. 6, 2013 | 7:41 p.m.
Personally I'm cbetting KQ of diamonds or something like that all day on this board.
Jan. 6, 2013 | 6:04 p.m.
I agree that the c/r would probably work but how many of your nut flush draws do you c/c the flop with?
Jan. 6, 2013 | 6:03 p.m.
I mix it up between calling and 3 betting AKs from the blinds vs UTG and MP so yes I think its a good idea. I think AK and some other bluffs are still in his range too since he can represent AQ KQ and 10-10 much better than you can.
Jan. 6, 2013 | 6 p.m.
Not a huge fan of that flop float but as played I think you should probably bet the turn in case his plan is to c/f a flush draw on the turn or some air that took a shot at bluffing the flop.
Jan. 6, 2013 | 5:53 p.m.
Thanks, I shoved and he called with J-10. What do you think of his call?
Jan. 6, 2013 | 5:44 p.m.
675 hands on him.
I don't like a 4 bet preflop at all vs THIS opponent unless you have AA like WM2K said. You have a way better chance to stack QQ flatting preflop than you do getting all in preflop in these positions at Rush vs a TAG.
Jan. 6, 2013 | 5:42 p.m.
UTG is a fish not a competent player, he's probably going to stack off now if he has a draw and he's probably going to stack off on the turn as well. On a turn blank our equity improves tremendously. Also worth mentioning that if he hits a flush he might make some sort of fishy small "value bet" where we lose way less money than if we jammed it all in on the flop and he hits his draw. Like I said before this isn't a play that I ever really use, just something I thought to try in game.

Note that this is rush poker.
Jan. 6, 2013 | 2:50 a.m.
Any chance he defends K5s? If the BB is squeezy I guess that means he could have KK here but of course thats very unlikely. I guess what this really comes down to is how often he follows through with a QJ bluff. Hmm..

Obviously the default play is to bet here and there is nothing wrong with that but it can make the turn a little bit awkward. With the stabby / aggro player in the middle I feel checking might give me some cheap info on UTG's hand and allow me to c/r the flop all in if I want. When both players continue I decide to c/c and shove on a blank turn instead.

Opponent is 20/16 with a 5% 3 bet. Most of these types of players are auto folding the BB to an EP open so I think he has basically no bluffs in his range. Question is whether he would 3 bet AQ, way more likely he calls IMO.

Looks like AA or QQ and he's sizing up a river shove. Do players like this have anything else besides an occasional AQ in their range often enough to continue? Vs a range of AQs, AA, KK, QQ I have 27% equity according to my quick calculations and need 23% to continue here so maybe its a call due to his small sizing.

I often 3 bet here and struggle with the decision to 3 bet or call. Usually my decision is based on the tendencies of the BB and of course how often the button folds to 3 bets. Button in this hand is opening about 50% on the button and folding to 3 bets 43% of the time over a 1300 hand sample.

River aggression 34% I guess the river decision comes down to how many of his missed draws he follows through with and if he we will value cut himself with worse Q's? Not the greatest run out for him to bluff but my hand seems pretty face up at this point while he can still rep rep pretty much everything.
Jan. 6, 2013 | 1:55 a.m.
I feel like whenever I check the river on this type of run out hoping to show the hand down I get shoved on. Its probably because in small stakes games you really should stick the money in with your value hands here almost every time (therefore a check is weighted heavily to a c/f) because players generally will make more bad calls than thin value shoves or double floats. Therefore when I check here its almost always to fold. Not a bad spot to check occasionally vs someone you play against regularly but vs anyone else you stick the money in IMO.
Jan. 6, 2013 | 1:41 a.m.
Opening and continuing ranges from the sb vs both habitual 3 bettors and more balanced regulars.
Jan. 5, 2013 | 8:23 p.m.
Despite not thinking he ever has a flush here there may be some tiny chance if he got to the river with a small or medium flush he might fold it on the river to a big c/r. Extremely unlikely I know but perhaps a very slight chance of it.

Very nicely done for any video let alone your first! Enjoyed the ICM stuff as well as the admission of misplaying a couple hands and alternative lines that would be more appropriate.
Jan. 5, 2013 | 5:20 p.m.
Lead in to him when you don't want him to see a free turn card and check when YOU'D like to see it free. Realize he will likely level himself in to some bad turn and river calls when the turn has been checked through because he feels like he has to call because his hand is face up as weak.

On the turn I bet smallish to make it look like I was pricing in my draw hoping to possibly induce a shove or keep hands in the pot that I have crushed with hopes he makes a river mistake. Also sets up stacks nicely for the river. On the river I feel like he has more bluffs than usual in his range since the turn was so drawy I expect him to be shipping most of his 2 pairs and sets that didn't shove the flop. On the river we have enough equity to c/c vs his missed flush draws and some other combo draws that didn't improve on the flop and turn. The question is would he bluff this small? I guess he could be thinking that almost any bet is big enough to fold out my air.

It's also worth mentioning that by flatting AK pre you are going to be able to move your opponent off AK postflop when you share the same hand and both miss.

No reads on this player except for thinking AA is about the only hand (besides an unlikely bluff) that would play like this.
