If he's folding KKxx and Axxx your play is probably printing money. If he's not then it might better to flat. A few questions:
1) Does he have an overlimp range or is he raising every hand he is playing?
2) Do you think he is less likely to raise when you are 47bb effective instead of 140bb?
3) Is he less likely to raise when you limp because you limp raise often?

Thanks Daz. That maps it out pretty well for me. Anyways got called by SB with 66 vs my AQ and brick. I assumed it to be pretty bad but I wasn't sure. So 66 is just barely out of range for the SB cold call? You'd call it off with 77? Thanks for helping.

He's probably second most aggro after Ari and then I'd be third at this table but been playing solid since I've been handcuffed with my stack and spots.

Ok Daze, SB is a pretty aggro beast with some pretty decent scores.
March 12, 2014 | 1:22 a.m.
I figured his calling range 99 would be bottom of the range TT+ snap call and something like Aq off being a call and Ak fistpump call.

I've dwindled down to 265k(16.5bbs) and currently gtd 5.1k. MP 800k(50bbs) is aggro pro Ari Engel and has been very active. Blinds are currently 8k/16k with a 2k ante. My image as of late has been pretty tight as a result of running pretty card dead for a few rounds and haven't found any spots to jam. Anyways MP Ari opens to 34k folds to my button I jam my AQo for (16.5bbs)265k. SB 750k(47bbs) My question is what should be the SB cold calling range here? Also blinds are going up shortly in around 15 mins at 1 hour levels. I'm one of the shortest stacks and 3 places from a $1600 prize jump.

Was just thinking maybe you guys could make videos for download for those of us who pay $100/mo. Just for elite members? Just a suggestion. Thanks.

6) Intuitively, to have more equity on the turn without picking up outs means villain locks us out very often on turn. So I gave villain a huge hand and us a marginal draw, for example:
Board: 9s8s3d Kd
Hero: 4c5c6c7c
Villain: 9c9hTsJs
On the flop we have 15.73%
On the turn we have 17.5%

In the hand with 22 when you check back flop and turn and bluff river -what does our value range consist of to balance our underpair bluffs? Are we betting Qx on the turn?

Anyways carry on beasting and keep up the good content.

No I believe day two and I was to your left. My name is Jeff and had the top two vs your top two nfd on aq9x board.

Sam, what are some adjustments made between your online game and live mtts? Had the pleasure of playing with you in Main event and got so see some of your tactics in person. Have stayed in tune with your vids since. Keep up with the great content!

Full ring live 1-2/5 PLO Villain is most aggro player at table every button straddle where he is in SB he blind pots it to 40$.
Villain stats are something like 40/30/8 and views me as most dangerous player at table and muttered it to himself as I sat beside him.
EFF stacks $1600
Button straddle($10) KcQdTc7d I bet 40$ from UTG villain UTG+1 then 3B to $80 everyone folds I flat, HU to flop pot $180
Flop is JcTd4c I decide to donk $155 for some info as villain tends to overplay some hands but my read is he isn't gonna get it in super light vs me and may be more cautious and narrow his GII range vs me. He flats my $155 and the turn is 6 of spades a blank. We have $1365 behind and pot is 490 I decide to go with a check jam to a smaller turn bet but he then full pots it? I feel he's bombing away on the flop with NFD+combo of gutters and over pairs and am confident the king high FD is best but with no FE I don't think I should jam but folding would be terrible IMO. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong in this hand and if there's a better line to take?

One month free subscription for first poster who's interesting thread sparks up 100+ comments? Sounds like some incentive and also must be legitimate posts. Good idea me!

Hand one I agree with Steven. I'd definitely call. Occasionally run into KQ. But he can be betting worse for value hands like AT, AK,AQ. We block the top of his value range of AA and JJ. I think there are more combos of worse value hands and some air balls like small pocket pairs or maybe KJ he's turning into a bluff than there are actual value hands.
Hand two need more info about villain. I'd love to jam but what can we get a fold from and what are we repping when jam here? What value hands would we jam here that make sense?

Agreed didn't think about the deuce and trying to get him to fold out Qx and QT on river. Also spoke with villain(friend) after hand he said he peels sets AKdd and probably folds QT on turn raise.

I made it 1100 with intentions of barreling all rivers except a jack or if the board pairs.

Sizing?

500bbs deep vs tough thinking reg 6handed. Villain views me as a bit dangerous and aggro. Capable of big bluffs.
Villain utg straddle to 20 Hero opens JT diamonds utg 60 villain peels. Flop Qd Th 2d villain check raises my bet of 80-280 I see no reason to reraise as I'm doing poorly vs all his value range 22-TT-QT. My jack of diamonds blocks a ton of his combo draws that make up a large part of his check raising range and I'm also blocking Combos of TT. So I call 200 more and turn is off suit king he bets 380 what's heroes best play and why. Will reveal line after I get some feedback. I pick up open ender and the K is much better for my range. I think a raise can get him fold some value hands by river as I'd intend on barreling blanks on river.

(K9652 full house) I agree with Dylan and like the smaller bet sizing on the turn to somewhere around 1/2 to 2/3 pot into the large multiway pot. In a higher stakes buyin I think the players even though a relatively new game most players will understand your range is pretty narrow and consists of a ton of 9xxxx hands and full houses and may not draw a ton here when leading into the field with that bet sizing in I think your weighted towards full houses and hands that have great equity for the high or have it locked up.

Im interested in what others consider the best vidoes on the site. Please post title and what form of poker. Thanks and good luck at the tables!

Sam. Could you talk about some of your main adjustments between online and live. I Had the pleasure/displeasure of playing some with you in the main ;)
So the 50% PFR seems really high. You're probably not giving him enough credit to realize a big portion of your hands limp raise. If he has raised your limps a lot he probably has hands that play fine vs an AA heavy limp raise.
But, going with 50%, 2.5% is AA, 2.5% is KK, and the other 45% you're gii really good. Assuming you make it 600 and gii on any flop with SPR under 2/3, and he usually joins, this seems like a slam dunk limp raise.
