9:20 you say AKo is pure calling vs bb 3b (SDMaxOn). I could see this being fine vs specific opponents and maybe this was one of those spots. But against the pool of regs this feels pretty tight to never 4bet AKo at 100bb utg vs bb. To be fair I think this is mostly calling but I would probably be 4betting somewhere around 25% vs most regs. Can you elaborate on why you think it's best to pure call?

Also do you think there is merit in just jamming pre since his sizing is quite large to avoid rake and not allow him to realize equity? This would be a slightly more complicated strategy to balance preflop though.

Almost unwatchable without you using center seat.

When the board comes exactly like this against these types of fish and you have AJ+ on A high with two bananas its just so hard to get away from as played cus The combinatorics just rule the day in these spots. I would just be worried he has JJ exactly. However I notice in these spots over time i end up being good against a fish who has KK or some shit and he thinks he "deserves" the pot so hes gonna just gonna pile money in blindly cus he got a bad flop lulz

Nice post GL

I have a sense for these types of situations bc i play primarily live 5/10 and still alot of 1kmax 2/5 and this villain description as "passive nitty guy" is common and you run into these spots where you flop super strong in a multi way pot where you are PFR and the board is Jx+ and 2 small cards. So these relative "nitty guys" often may find a check raise w/ worse hands often (especially if you have any sort of loose image/dynamic, And they also sense your Cbetting super widely) And i combat this by making my flop bet much larger to show them I have hand that i am very confident in and may play for my stack. So my cbet here would be like 115-120 into 125 pot. When i do this i feel much better about folding to a flop ch/r and im less worried about the "live nit" lulz making a move with Q,K Q,J, Q,10 J,J.

Nice post GL out there grindin''''''''
