min 10. QQ on KJ8 board. You check turn because you only want to have a overbetting range. Is it also fine to have a half pot or 75% pot size on turn? That way you get to bet QQ and strong Jx hands on the turn. If the river turns a J you are less capped in that situation, but I can also understand that its such a small frequantie event that it doesnt really matter.

At min 31 the AQo hand, again i have a question about a potential river raise . Bcause he has a lot of 3x in his range do have a raise bluff range on the river? And what cards would you use in that case. I personally would never dare to do it in this case i think..

Sept. 7, 2024 | 2:11 p.m.

At minute 17.00. You Cb fop and fold vs river bet with Q5. Isn't this a possible spot to jam allin? Villian should 3b some Q9s and you block with the Club his potential Q9 calls. So villian never has Q9 and you should have some Q9 in theory I think. Seems like you could jam this hand in theory for that reason.

Sept. 7, 2024 | 1:47 p.m.

Min 31 the AQ hand vs 42s. Why do you say jamming AQ on the river as a bluff is good? I might be result oriented but villian is never folding a hand that is better. If AQ beats all the bluffs but can't fold anything better it seems like a pretty horrible allin IMO. I know in theory it should be fine, but players dont like folding big hands HU.

Hey Saulo, min 5:30 QJ hand. You said that villian is likely callin inelastic in this spot, so what do you think about betting 33% or even 25% instead of half pot?.

June 24, 2019 | 7:32 p.m.

Hey Saulo, you pointed out that in 3bet pots on High-High-low it's recommended to cbet 100% pot size with high equity hands/bluffs. I was wondering how using bigger cbet sizings changes hotspots on later streets. So how effective would the B-X-B be when we use a small cbetsize compared to using larger sizings. Or do you recommend playing a pseudo-gto style on the river when we do use larger sizings?

Min 10:40, 89s hand on 10Ac2c 6c. Could you explain why you want to check 100% of hands here. On the 6c he may have slightly more flushes than you have, but does he really have such a big range advanced overall? How do you want to play flushdraws like KJ/KQ/QJo?

July 29, 2018 | 1:55 p.m.

Min 31:30, the K5o barrel vs AK. Sometimes in online poker you know your opponent is pretty weak after calling on the turn(exactly like this). However, by just betting close to pot, there still a chance they deciding to bluff catch for whatever reason. Therefore I would like to know what you think about the idea to go more than 5x pot in this spots. This is basically the strategy Tom Dwan used with his famous 72o hand vs Sammy.

July 28, 2018 | 5:10 p.m.

Min 1:20. When you start with 'I am blocking AJ and KJ' in a single raised pot I instantly got the urge to quit watching this video.

July 21, 2018 | 10:55 p.m.

Min 20.00 109s hand. You are cbetting 1/3 with two pair on this flop. I don't get why you r not betting bigger here, as you are forced to check back a big% of your range on this flop+ your range needs more protection as he has a lot of draws.

Min 3.30 KK hand: Do you use a 100% cbetting range IP? let say you open on the sb and the BB cold called. do you still want to bet 100% on this flop?

A general question: Do you think it's more profitbable to have a mixed sb strategy between cold calling and 3better vs a only 3bet range on the SB.

Comment | Iam2good commented on Mixed Stakes (Part 3)

Tnx for the solid vids teunuss:)
In your videos I see you calling 3bets OOP with small pocket pairs, even against a 3.5x 3bet. I dont do this myself, so I was wondering if you can tell if this is a winning play and against which type of opponent this becomes better/worse.

Comment | Iam2good commented on A Poker Site Should

This is definitely an awesome idea.
I don't know how receiving a license work etc. But there should be a 3rd party who has the authority to have access to your administration so that's they are able to check the financial status. We don't need another Full Tilt poker, and I rather trust in a system than I do trusting a person if you know what I mean.

tnx for the vid!

Min 34, 22 hand. Do you think that it is profitable to call a 4x 3bet OOP with 22? I kinda of hate calling with small pairs OOP, as we have to fold way more often the flop(villian could be exploiting us by cbetting more often on the flop)+ we can't threat boddem set as the the nuts most of the time. If this is standard for you, maybe you could look into your database if you'r indeed making money.

I don't have much hands on villain, but it says he's a tight opener on earlier position. We are also 150BB deep, so it felt that just cold calling seems better. Flop=Standard but the turn is a pretty awkward situation. I assumed that he's opening 18% from the UTG>checking some aces and midpairs OTF>Cbetting almost all unmade hands OTF. With that in mind I have 44% coming to the turn. However if villian is slightly aggresive I probably won't win this pot more than 20% of the time. If he bets with GS+ and AQ+ I have about 40% equity, but because of the fact he's very likely to bluff the river with his missed draws I am not able to call here. He will bet around 60% of the time. When he checks the turn I would have around 50% equity assuming he has trash, some midpairs and some Ax hands in his checking range. This result seems to negative comparing to my 44% equity coming to the turn.

How do you guys look at the idea of donking this hand on the turn, to realize more of the equity. And what for sizing should I use(I mostly bet around 35-40% when I decide to donk the turn)

May 7, 2015 | 1:19 p.m.

Ty for the vid!

Min 29 KJ suited hand. What do you think about raising on this flop. when you make it 2.5x it only has to work like 45% of the time+plus you have additonal equity when he calls as you will see turn+river. I am considering implementing this in my game more often.

Ps. I think you should call Q9o on the bb vs a minraise against MP. Against a 22% range you have almost 40% equity which I consider to much to fold.

May 1, 2015 | 8:17 p.m.

You can't call turn and fold on this river. Do you really think he's going to raise 96s(example) on the turn to just check back on the river if he doesn't hit? He knows you still have a lot of Qx in your range and that you prop not folding AJ OTT. I can't say for sure on what you should do, but this shouldn't be the top of your range. You should have some slowplayed set here for example, which you where planning to check raise on the flop. Maybe you also have some J8 and Q8 in this spot. This situation is very opponent dependent. against a unknown I am probably folding, against someone with history I can see myself checkcalling. 

Also you should better bigger on turn.

Comment | Iam2good commented on NL400 River spot

Flop+turn looks good IMO. If you check on the river it can be very tricky, as he has a lot of value combo's and not that many missed draws/floats. I like to be aggresive in this spot and just jamming the river, although this would be the bottom of value range.

Comment | Iam2good commented on River line

First of all, AK is far in your top of the range especially considering your on the SB. This guy know what he does, he always has a bluffing range on this river. I obv don't know this guy, but I would assume that he could be bluffing here with any diamond blocker. You got think about 87o(assuming he is calling wide) with a diaomand,K8d, K10d and possibly couple of more but I don't have time to look in to that. If you would have AQ with te Q of diamonds this is a pretty easy call, but still AK doesn't have to mean a fold here.

Comment | Iam2good commented on NL200 Bet or check?

I am exactly pretty confinedent I am right

Comment | Iam2good commented on NL200 Bet or check?

obv a check isn't to bad in this spot but I think I like just betting. Your equity is no matter what pretty high, and you can easily call when he go's for a check-raise, which would be impossible if you didn't had the flush draw. Having clubs in your check back range doesn't matter in this case. Villian knows he can't rep a flush on the river, and it's not that he is going to think you went apeshit when your going to raise on a Club river.

Maybe it's more solid to fold OTF, but villian was raising the flop like crazy. So I thought in a vacuum this could be a alright float. OTT I had a decision for raising-go allin or Calling and probably donkbetting some river cards. I think the river is a perfect card to donkbet shuff as I will always have atleast a pair in my range. 


May 13, 2014 | 9:18 a.m.

I am at half of your video now, but I have some basic questions. Your flatting KJo on MP vs a 3bet on the btn. Is this your standard to call in this situation, and aren't you afraid of being dominated a good % of the time postflop(I am not exactly sure how much people 3bet AJ,KQ comparing to flat calling). 

Min 19.00 108s hand. You are checking on A52ss on the btn vs SB. Is it a bad idea to have a 100% cbetting range on this board, as you have all the Aces in your range and the SB only medium aces(Expecting he is 3betting A2s-A8s, AJ+ allot of the time). 

March 19, 2014 | 9:45 a.m.

Min 1.00- If you'r betting 97 on a AK10x board does that means your betting with all your air here? Could you also explain  why overbetting on the turn is better than betting under pot. 



Dec. 7, 2013 | 10:36 a.m.

He hasn`t a full stack, so the chance is bigger that he is a fish. You can`t really check call the river, because the only draw villian could have missed is 76. I don`t like to check fold such a strong hand, so I prefer betting myself. Chances are that he can call with QQ, A10,K10, j10 and Q10. Maybe he has slowplayed 55 and 44 this way. Against a Reg this is an annoying spot, because you can`t expect that he is calling with only an ten.
