What about raising our poker pairs ?

I like very much your arguments ben !

I was afraid that our checkCalling range was too weak, but we have some AJ combo and some (weaker) FD which is sufficient to protect our TT, 99 turn/river.

Thanks ;)

 At min 5'50 :

We open UTG   and call the CO 3b 

flop :  

You say that the best play here is CR.

Can you explain more in detail why ?

The merits of check/call are :

-> we have a bluff catcher and i don't see a lot of better combo in the vilain range that will fold (TT,99,JTs,QJs,?), and he might checks back these hands on the flop or doesn't 3b them PF

-> vilain will barrel on aces/spaces turn/river.

I dont' understand why CR is better, excepted for balancing w/ JJ,88,QQ, but if you CR that combos,your check/calling range get capped,and you will have to fold a lot turn/river faces agression.

Great video as usual ! Thank you.
