Hey man, enjoy the videos! I have some thoughts about the QJ spot and PIO having you bet J9 J8 and check QJ KJ and I would appreciate it if you could respond to my thoughts and let me know what you think.
@ 4:00 - 9:00
I think PIO having you bet J8 J9 and checking QJ KJ makes sense, and I think we could figure it out by doing some investigating with what he is supposed to do with his range.
I would expect the villians 4x 7x calling range on the river would not have hands like 94, 84, 78, and 79 in it, especially the 8x ones, since they are bluff catchers, and block a lot of our bluffs, but a hand like Q7 would call, since it doesn't block any of our bluffs. So having 78 in his spot is a fold, but Q7 is a call, which would make it better for us to check QJ to balance our checking range opposed to a hand like J8 or J9 which would get more value by betting then QJ would since having the 8 or 9 blocks hands that would fold like 87 84 97 94.
In conclusion, I would say PIO having J8 J9 as better bets is because they get value from 4x and 7x more often then QJ or KJ would, in a spot where villian will bet better Jx hands on turn some of the time so having a weaker kicker isn't going to be a huge deal since we shouldn't be value towning ourselves vs better Jx that often.
