Been great to watch the evolution of your videos Sam. Always getting better, cheers for it.

Thanks for taking the time to wb. Best of luck with the rest of Vegas. Often have watched Phils omaha vds in the past. Will try to find it.

I genuinely don't think I'm been hand orientated at all. Maybe you c-bet this flop wider than I do. When you get the chance I'd be interested in a rough range of what your cb-ing range? I would cb pretty tight in this spot, and for that reason I feel it's ok for my standard size to be a lot larger in this spot.

What hands do you feel benefit from the smaller size to see a turn cheaply? I feel there is very few.

Finally I think it's optimistic that many people will raise a lot of hands for protection here with a live range behind. I feel that most hands that raise here will be FDs + maybe additional straight draws. Maybe this assumption is terrible and I need to rethink how to play these dynamic boards.

Thanks for getting back to me and good luck in the series. I didn't say a less than pot sized for what it's worth. Just a more natural size. I also don't feel betting upwards of 65% on this board texture would be all that unusual. Was probably unfair to label it a disaster.

Best of luck in the tournament Cody mentioned!

I feel the flop sizing with the TT is a bit of a disaster.

This flop just smashes the flatters range, + could easily have connected with the BB's less defined range. I can't really see what hands you take this cb sizing with other than 2pair+. If you have AK one diamond or KJo (if you decide to open) you will almost always go a size that sets up a natural turn shove. Same for your FDs you cb. It's not like your ever going to just have non equity hands here. Maybe you have some?

You say you want to protect your equity on the turn, but do you not think we do better vs his range when we just bet even when you've got yourself an awkward SPR due to flop sizing. By checking surely we allow him to realise more equity with the one hand that is probably bet calling that we are ahead of? As we both agree this would play superior as a check on the turn. I just think it's optimistic for him to have a lot of bet folds on the turn from the hands you listed.
