Hi guys, yesterday i was playing a live turbo mtt an the follow situation happened: There was 16 left, a turbo tournament, blinds 3/6k (400 ante), utg (90k) raises 14k. Mp (100k) shoves. Sb with 50k calls and UTG after thinking a bit calls. The sb guy had 88 and we were discussing wheter the call was right or not. I have no reads on the other 2 players, since i just moved to the table. I think it was a fair call, but other people thinks it is an easy fold for the sb guy.
What do you guys think

Hi Nico congrats for your first vídeo. On that hand that doubled the Q dont you think there are a lot of bluff combos?
Like, 78, flush draws... Imo you could have called with A high.

I like check/shove after he bets...

I think one interesting way to play is 4betting a little big smaller, like Raphael said and post flop check raises instead of cbet. If he calls or shove than i let it go..

I agree with most of it. What i don't agree is with his AT-A5 need to fold to bigger bets. We agree that is very unlike him to have a flush an a 2/4. If he has it, its ok, its a risk worth to taken. So, we play the hole hand putting him on an A. For me the important thing here is: what is he thinking our range is? In my opinion, most of the time he thinks you're bluffing. Your bet on flop and turn reduces the flush range and 2/4 is not in your range as well. So, since he has an A, he problably thinks you are bluffing. And, if he thinks that, he would call your bet. And, with that in mind, i think that a bigger bet or even an over bet would looks like a bluff (more than a <1000 bet). If i were playing this hand i would think you have a pair and trying to bluff. But, with your bet on the river i wouldn't feel confortable, because it is a bet from someone that wants a call.. Maybe thats why he spend a good time thinking...

Hi guys. I play mtt for a hobby. Tournaments with buy in from 30-215 lol... In most tournaments i play i am one of the chip leaders after initials levels. Thats a very good thing. The very bad thing is that somehow i end up losing before ITM or be short stack when ITM.. Do you guys have any tips or videos (i have the essential plan) or articles to help me improve my game at this specifically part of the game. Seems to me that i play very good with more than 50 bb and very bad with 40-20 bbs... I apologize for the english mistakes..
Best Regards

Maybe A2s, A4s, 32s? I think its not likely, but it is possible... So it just reinforce that he had an Ax and that's the reason why i think you should bet much bigger on river, don't you agree? A 1400 or even a bigger bet would look like a bluff here
Sept. 24, 2014 | 7:26 p.m.
He repps a 2 or a 4, don't you think? Shoving after your bet.. I'd call anyway... I just think you could bet much more at the river as i said before
Sept. 24, 2014 | 2:02 a.m.
If he shoves would you fold here? You played the hole hand considering he has an Ax on his hand, right? So, i think your bet on river could be much much bigger. I think most players wouldn't fold Ax here to any bets. Also, with an A on his hand he might me thinking you're bluffing and this is one more reason for you to bet bigger. I would go for 1400 considering his stack

Hi Akira, nice video. On the 40 minute, on the river you bet 50k in spite of just calling. I think there are many hands where you are losing (Aj, Kj,QJ,T9,J9,88,KK..) and few that you are winning (TT,99,77) so why just dont call? You also gives him the small posibility of shoving with a worst hand..

I dont disagree with 4b pre flop, i would do that against almost all oponetns. The fact is, i knew that we would call any reraises and bet every street after, doesn't matter what he had. He did that almost every hand before that. So i decided to control the pot in order to make decisions where i wouldnt have to make a call for my life in the tournment.
5 hands before he 5 bet with KTo (and hit the K) and 5 bet pre flop and keep beting (on a QT8 A) with 56o (i folded KTs after a big bet on turn). Fact is, i tried different situations before that and he keeps pushing a lot of chips everytime. Thats why i decided to just call, so i could decide pos flop.
In the end, after thinking about almost all the time i had, i decided to call. I decided to call because, if i lose, i would have aprox 50 bb to play and if i win i'm the CL. I call and he shows Jc5c for a flush...

This happened yesterday at Scoop 01, 215 buy in, 6- max. I had 152.068 chips and on my left was Cl with 231.902. Blinds 500-1000 (150 ante) and average about 55k. We had a lot of action before this hand. The guy was a completely insane, raising everey hand, never folding pre flop. Always betting a lot. He had show some decent hands, some bluffs and a lot of ridiculous hand. Two hands before he had eliminated a player calling a 5 bet pre flop with 49 off (flop came 44J and he eliminated the guy with KK).
So, i am at HJ with QdQs. I raise to 2.500.
He reraises to 7.500. Everybody folds. I call.
Flop Kc3c3s.
I check. He bets 6.000. I call.
Turn is 6c. I check, he bets 12.000 on a 28.250 pot. I call.
River is a 8h. I check, he bets 71.000 on a 52.250 pot.
What would you do? While i was thinking, he worte on the chat: "i'll show". And then: "if you call"...
Be free to criticize the way i played the hole hand. I will post how it ended after some coments. Sorry for my many english mistakes, first post here. Thanks

Well, I would reraise pre flop and then cbet. If he 4 bet pre flop or reraise pos flop, I fold. But, since you've called, I like the fold

Very difficult hand. I think we have some options here after flop: He can have 2 diamonds, a set, JJ, AT, KT, QJ, QT, JT, 88,77 . I think he wouldn't call your reraise with any of this hands but two diamond cards and QJ, 77 and 88. Since you have already two blockers, for me he hits a flush or he misses the QJ straight on the turn. Since you don't know and he has position, i would just check/fold most of the time. Shove, for me, is not a very bad move, since you don't want to see the river

I agree with almost everything Daniel said. I dont like the bet after flop at all. He likes this flop with many hands of his range and even when he doesn't hit anything, you're givving him a spot to take the pot.. Therefore, the best solution for me would be check after him. Since you no longer had this option, i would fold if this hand in most of the tournaments and ocasions, but with your read and willing to gamble, i would reraise all in as well. Sorry for english mistakes, best regards

I would definitly shove. Would he bet 3x with QQ+? I don't think so. He could raise 3x with many hands (including 88,99,TT,KTs,KJ,KQ,A8,A9, Ax..) that i think he would fold. From his range that he raises 3x and could call, i think there is AQ, AQs, JJ. So, i think its a very good move to shove. It also gives a message that you will defend your bb...

What are you afraid of (a flush or a 4? no way)? If i were you i would mini raise and give him a chance to bluff.
Hi there, great analysis. Your last conclusion "i consider postflop playability much more than the "blocker effect"" is more true according to how early position the villan is, right? Since the more late position, his range would be bigger and blockers would be more effective, right?
Sorry for the mistakes here.. Best regards
