chesterfold

hello. anybody home?

Men, I promise that this is the last question. ehe
"You are right that we don't make better hands to fold in this spot but this is not a valid argument. It is better to think more about what strategy you want to play with your range and not about what you want to do with your specific holding."
Are you saying this because we cap our range to KK QQ weak Ax when we play in check/call and its easier for our opponents to exploit this strategy?
Not sure i understand this. You care to elaborate on that?
Tkx in advance sir

The 87s at min 7~. With the spr being so low why are you not denying him equity by raising flop? Your hand is so vulnerable in a lot of turns and rivers. I would understand your line being deeper. I wouldnt like to raise and then get shoved playing 100 bbs deep, but so shalow..meh

We have range advantage cause we have ak aq and they dont but they have nuts advantage.
Do we expect to make better aces to fold, sets, 2 pairs, str8´s? If its not the case we just make worst hands to fold. There is much to protect from? I dont think so. Unless they have pocket pairs and make a set ott if we give a free card all the other hands might pick equity ott but none will "outdraw" us.
idkn, you are the pro and thats why you see things that i cant see like in this hand where the check seems to a fish like me as the better option.

Min 7.50, you say you dont like the check on the flop. Whats your plan then? Turn A3 in a bluff and barrel 3 streets to make AT AJ to fold?
Would like to hear your thoughts on the merits of c betting cuz i cant find them.
Tkx

Iam disappointed too. This makes no sense at all. You think essential members are playing ept sat´s, mily, 109´s? Imo you should make videos playing the limits that essential members play cause this will just induce people in thinking that they can play the big 11 in the same way you play 109´s. And its not only you chris, its most of the instructors. Seems people are making a huge sacrifice when producing a video.
I would rather see you discussing 2 or 3 spots in one video and learn something new in depth that see this video and end with the feeling that i know the same. People in the essential plan want to know the WHY´S.

Min 1.45 AQs. You are c/r and decide to call. Its reasonable to shove or you see more merits in call?
Tks in advance sir

Min 8.00 - dont understand your logic when you say his 3 bet range should be incredibly polarized that you want to jam over his 3 bets next time. What hands are you expecting him to 3 bet?

I dont like the idea of skipping the hands you dont vpip. In terms of pre flop strategy i would like to understand why you open some hands and fold others.

20.00 - You dont even mention 3 betting. Seems like the perfect spot for a 3 bet, what am I missing here?
I think you skipped hands to quickly in the first 25 mins of the video. Would love to have heard you discussing more pre flop play.

Around min 18, with Kc8c you use the short stack in the sb as an argument to open fold. Iam not saying i would open but the short stack seems not to be a motive of concern. What am I missing here?
Ps: You are better than 90% of the elite coaches.

Bro, just signed to see your videos. Sorry to be asking 1 year after you posted the video.
Min 31, kqo. Runlikeaboss opens with a 10 bbs stack otb and a very agressive and competent 20 bbs stack on the bb. If iam Runlikeaboss what should i be opening and why?

Great idea man, this is exactly what people want to learn and iam sure they would be available to pay even more money for it.

Like you said, most of the hh´s reviews are from tournaments where they were running good.I would also like to see those where they make mistakes, cards dont come, spots dont come,etc.

Hi paul

Min 1.49, 77 hand - why you check turn? I think you are missing value here. Flush draws and str8 draws will  call turn but fold river if they miss. Overpairs, any j. Then you c/r when the only hand that you are check raising here is a boat.
 min 14, kj hand - what you try to represent when you lead turn? What you think its your perceived range?

tkx

I folded for some of those reasons.

tbh the shove with a2 at around 12min is probably the worst play ive ever seen in a video, and the explanation is even worst imo. At least if you show some stats saying villian 3 bets a lot but always fold to a 4 bet or that you have a crazy dynamic going on with him..ok, we can buy that but shoving there having a feeling and "ok if you realy have a hand thats just 40bb´s spew" seems realy bad for a noob like me. Maybe its just outside of the box and i cant get it.

Can you see any merits in call or 3 bet?

Min 5.19 - you said: "we can assume with 80/85% certainty that he is folding is top pair or worst to our overbet"  Why? is this 80/85% an empirical assumption? dont understand from where that % came.

Tkx a lot for your help. :)

Min 1, QQ on the btn you say: will probably defend vs sb and call bb if he shoves. what do you mean by defending vs sb? you also said that bb should just fold or shove, never flat. Can you show why isnt profitable for bb to flat with his stack size?

min 7.15, 89of for 15 bbs - can you show why shove is better than min raise?Min 23.40, k5s on btn - it seems o be a profitable open spot. can you provide us the maths of raise/fold in that spot and show us whether is good or not to open?
