Poopyypoop

Hey Sam, couple things. Just wondering why you didn't show us the first 2 bust outs even if they were trivial decisions and also it would have been really cool to hear your thoughts on the switching seats part before play begun at the final table. Maybe next time?

Hey Ben,

Earlier in the video you open K8s UTG and get 3Bet by the sb to 10bb and snap muck while 202BB deep effective in pos. Understand a bunch of reasons for folding here but just wanted your thoughts on it. Wouldn't you say you are deep enough to play a pot in pos here?

Later in the vid you open A7s UTG (4handed) and get 3Bet to 9.8 BB by Ba.Angelov around 202bb effective again and you more or less snap muck w no commentary. Is A7s vs a very capable opponent worth considering a 4Bet bluff and or continue in pos this deep? Confused because a little later you open KQo UTG and get 3Bet by BB to 8.7BB and you consider calling/ potentially 4betting but elect to fold. Understand that 3Bet from bb usually means a stronger holding but just curious on why the consideration here but virtually no thoughts on the other 2 hands I mentioned?

I don't mean this question as a fanboy, I'm sincerely curious if you believe someone like Tom Dwan would fold these hands in these spots and if they are just losing plays long term?

Sincerly,

A more or less losing player who's opinions are relatively useless here :)

Hey Ben,

10:10 you flat KJs from sb on table 2. Just wondering your reasoning for flatting vs c/o open as opposed to 3Bet pre? Also, the check raise on flop just wondering reasoning since AA and QQ are pure 3bets pre for you and 99 high frequency also vs c/o open so you shouldn't have any of the sets too often here and also virtually none of the 2 pairs. Was this an exploit or did you just roll passive pre and roll high on flop? I don't play much higher than 200zoom and even that scares me haha but just wanting some insight as to when I can build flatting ranges myself. Perhaps rake at 200z and lower argues for more 3bets?

Lastly if you could, a few minutes earlier you fold A4s to a 3x raise on the button which seems good but I'm just wondering what you would do her w KQs vs 3x open in same spot? Likely flat?

Love the videos so much man and always tend to crush my stakes for a few hrs immediately following watching one or 2 of your vids. Wish you'd post these every damn day haha

Do you think limping Blind vs Blind in 100z or 200z can be profitable or is the rake too high to adopt this strategy for the lower pools? I've been folding or 3.5xing from sb for the most part

Do you never run it twice? Could you explain why or why not briefly?

Pat are you playing without a HUD? Is this normal for you? Just wondering if you could touch on your thoughts real quick about using one vs not using one and especially at lower stacks like 100zoom. Seems like it might almost be easier to not use one at 500z vs 100z due to 500 having a much smaller pool and running into the same players and their tendencies much more often making a HUD less of a necessity? Do you believe you can be a winning player without using one?

Just wondering if this was a frequency check back in your mind or if you like this line a higher % of the time in that exact hand vs what I presented

Hey Patrick, at 11:00 you check back the turn w the 64 on K653. I understand that this isn't always going to be played one way 100% of the time but just wanted to talk it out. Don't you feel here that on a drawy board w a low pair and blocking the nuts (74) that our hand kinda needs protection and we can be betting anywhere between 1/3-1/2 pot here a mid to high percentage of the time? If we get check raised we can still potentially call given pot odds, fold exploitatively, or even turn our hand into a bluff at a low frequency? The 3 turn just seems so much better for our range (you defended 64o so seems logical) and betting here at a higher frequency 1/3 to 1/2 pot will often earn us a river check back and give us more clairvoyance on the river if we get there. Just seems that as played we kinda reverse value town ourselves vs QQ-77 and all Kx etc etc and get no protection vs flush draws and overs. What are your thoughts?

Jeez you were pretty kind to me considering (The AQ/KJdd hand). I was sure I was gonna be massively roasted by you haha. I hated my flop bet in game. I hated my check raise in game and just shook my head when the hand was finished. Just overplayed it in every way and pretty well knew it as I was doing it
