Hi Tyler, thanks for another great videoa
In the JJ< AK hand, you say it's a pretty big mistake for him to not go for stacks with AK on the QK6ss board.

From his perspective, what range is hoping to get stacks from on this texture? when we 3b/call pre, our hand looks like 99+/KQs/AQ+ and the occasional 9Ts/67s/etc getting a decent price.. i'm struggling to see what hands would be willing to stack off that AK beats. from his shoes, if he bets AK and gets check/raised it's a pretty gross spot (he only beats the big draws which he's almost flipping against and beats 0 value hands). Basically what I'm saying is I think it's too thin for him to go for stacks/3 streets unless he believes us to be a station and call off here with KJ.

also not sure how much i agree with AK being the best hand he can have on this texture as he still has all QQ/KK/AA in his 4b range

i'm a live cash player used to playing deeper than 100bb stacks so perhaps my perspective is different...

HG's 10/20 game is not consistent, if anything it will be 1 table max.

The most consistent games you can find for 10/20 or higher would be at commerce casino or vegas (bellagio, maybe wynn/aria but not as consistent as B). I can't speak to east coast games, as I am from the west coast, but I think i've heard maryland live might have a consistent 10/25 game.

I might be going to london for a couple months, where is the consistent 2/5 and 5/10 games?

Thanks.

check/call turn, lead river small (make it look like a blocking bet) and snap call his raise

h2 was either between shoving or flatting and then shoving over most cbets on the flop
i thought he could be 4b light here given i already 3b (like you mentioned)
i feel like a shove just lets him off the hook if he was 4b light.. thoughts?

h1 i might flat AA as a trap if i think he's 4b light

h2 i was never considering a 5b/f, i was just considering flatting in order to get more value from a cbet from his bluffs. i ended up 5b-shoving and he folded.

I think 89 makes more sense than 88/99 given he donked/didn't 3b flop and check/call turn on this draw heavy board

Don't you think if the river was As and you check he shoves also?

I'm betting the river but never check/folding

leading is fine, but as played check/call to keep his bluffs inn
this deep regs value cbet range should be flushes and 2pair+, can't imagine many regs cbetting AA on this board

how can we include 77/JJ in our value range and not 66?
regardless, i think all sets should be heavily discounted if the flop does not get 3b

"As mentioned, don't be scared of seeing an A flop, and don't always assume that an A is a bad card. In 4b pots, it's usually not a great card, but people have more hands than AK in their 4b range."

right, but in these situations, if i flat a 4b with QQ/KK, i'm planning on folding to most flop cbets on an A high board, and i've seen plenty of live villains cbet these flops OOP with TT+ because "they don't know what to do"

H1: unfortunately we don't have more information as we haven't seen any of V's showdowns and he was only recently moved to our table. FWIW this was the aria wpt main (donkament), so live villains could be punting off tons of chips with little equity

H2: I think shoving is fine, but I think V folds most of the time as I felt he was 4b light here.. Wanted to just flat and shove over a flop Cbet but was just scared of seeing an Ace on the flop

T6 is a favorite to raise flop

he's never has 78 here

T6, T7, 67, he has sdv, he's going to induce/bluff someone who has straights in his range instead of bluff-catch?

i think we can raise river bigger, our line doesn't make much sense

river is a snap if he ships, if he has JJ you laugh and reload

imo you're reading too much into blockers, it's either he has a flush or he decided to try to bluff you off when the diamond hit. i mean AK+ is def in your range but idk how much respect you're gonna get 6handed bvb. also, i can't imagine any hand less than a flush is in his value range

don't know how many flushes he arrives at the river with, 6dxd, 78dd, 57dd i think a good player would put in a raise at some point. maybe 9dxd. but then again i'm a live player i'm not as mathematically inclined as some of the people on here

i think 77 is a favorite to raise pre

his value range is 97 and that's it. mayyybe 96 but doubtful

i'm a live player and river 3b's are almost always the nuts, don't play much online though. you rep straight's pretty well, it'd be pretty insane for him to try to bluff you off a straight

Why are you at least calling with these stack sizes? Not saying I fold 100% but you're never ahead and could be drawing pretty slim, you're in a pretty bad spot on almost all turn cards

given my reads V never has 2 pair or a flush here, he almost always shows up with J9 or 69.. I was confident enough in my read to make this play

given that, i hated the idea of flatting the turn and checking back or folding the river after putting in 100bb (that's our plan if we flat the turn right?), it just seemed so weak to me when we could put V in a tough spot

i think i bet that amount with my value hands

maybe it's just me but i've noticed that live rec players are more likely to pay off 90% of your stack as opposed to a shove (knowing this should i have jammed? maybe i leveled myself there)

wanted to save myself money if $850 had the same effect as $1050.. if i was in V's shoes i'd be more likely to call a shove than $850, it just looks so value-y... yeah i probably leveled myself here. 

we both had "very strong hands" but in relation to the board, our hands were not very strong

based on my reads, bet sizing, his tendencies, yes i would've been truly shocked if he showed up with a flush

if i thought there were any flushes in his range turn is an easy peel

I see why you might say that just from reading the title, but I very rarely turn a set into a bluff, but this seemed like a good spot to do it

betting small? i raised small OTT to set up a river bluff

based on my reads, i thought V showed up with a flush 0% of the time

Based on my reads I was very confident villain would bet more OTT with a flush, and didn't think he would even check raise flop with a big draw

My thinking was if I don't fill up OTR, I can't win at showdown, so let's turn my hand into a bluff knowing that he very rarely shows up with a flush

Very FPS, I know, pretty spewy, I just hated the idea of calling $250 OTT and having to fold river if I didn't fill up
