38:34 QQ You have about a pot size left OTR, Im curious as to why you jam, Could you not give AK a good price aswell as AA or KK by blocking and/or inducing? Or are you just jamming to stay balanced with your bluffs like 109s AKs hmmm do you even think that if you did have AKs would you jam here probably not right?

Hey Gary Chappell
I had a question that got me thinking in your video
When playing against a weaker field its easier to play/more valuable to 3 bet a polarized range vs a liner range.
Because: When i do get called or 4-bet I am most definitely behind as they are 4-betting or calling the top of their range only so I am left with an easy decision
I can call with my more middling strength holdings and outplay them post-flop where as if I 3-bet these holdings in a linear range I lose all that value if they 4-bet
I feel like that means i can exclusively fold ak off and ak suited even tho i double block aa and kk when my opponent 5 bet jams all in because at these stakes no one has any 5 bet bluffs lol
Is this true?

Hey Dekkers Noob question here at timestamp 1:29 you were explaining how you do not like 4 betting KJ in these positions UTG vs MP because people are really tight in these positions, would you be more inclined to 4 bet KJ against a BTN 3-bet? or would you still like to use hands like KQ and AQ that have better blockers.
Timestamp 37:18 the last hand, You mentioned that it was a tight fold but explained that you prefer to call with hands like AQ here because it has more equity against his bluffs and value hands, I understand that AQ would have more equity against his value hands but against his bluffs? I thought that 66 would have more equity against his bluffs than A high? Do you just end up giving him credit for a 10x hand that has hit the turn? or do you feel that if we call with 66 here we are calling with all under pairs here and that it is too much? Please let me know what you think

Time stamp 8:46, I was listening to what you were saying about villain having a bluffing frequency over 1/4 to make that jam possible, my question is if that was a CUTOFF VS BUTTON situation instead of a UTG vs BUTTON would this jam be profitable ?

Time stamp 5:34, Not sure why you check back on this texture my understanding is that you both have 7x in your range BTN Vs BB but you block 67, could this be a texture that you bet 3/4 on. Please let me know what your thoughts are cheers!

2:17 I don't quite understand the check, my understanding is that its a board that favors our range, we have a lot of better Ax we could also get value from weaker Kx which may float as well as combos like J10 or Q10 with a BDFD the reasons I could think of why you don't bet is maybe to delay c-bet because the board is dry, you are trying to balance your checking range, or you think he has a large continue range ?? I'm unsure and confused :) Please let me know what you think! Cheers
Hey Luke Johnson The hand at 20:31 where CeeJee the high-stakes player called your 4bet OTB with J10dd,
I'm a 50NL player so I'm not very good but am I missing something here?
I don't think we should be calling J10dd to a 4 bet, OTF I'm folding to any bet really, on the turn you say it plays itself? To me we have two over cards and a gutter in a 4 bet pot, I don't understand why the turn call is considered okay?
Correct me if I am wrong but at high stakes are we just going to have a lot more 4 bet bluffs? So if we call with J10dd we can Bluff the river and get hands like AK AQ AJ to fold off That's the only real reason I can see this being okay but it just seems extremely thin
Similar story at 34:29 You say that your obviously not folding flop and I understand why you raise and your logic behind it, but to me facing a half bet pot cant we just continue or raise with our 10 99 88 Axss flush draws, I see a lot of really thin calls or raises in high stakes and I feel like I am missing something maybe I'm just playing my actual hand strength more than my range advantage. I'm so lost, please help!
