Kyberri, 2006 wants you back

Sry late to the party. Did Jonna deny the forging accusations???

abacus or calculator??? tough choice

I listed some examples in my original post.

Maybe you should work on your 6m game a little before you make a coaching video? KJT4ss, Q443ccc, K842r, KKKQss are u kidding me?
Can you please post your 6m graph for zoom? You were a huge loser before you started to play on Sven.
And please specify you play higher stake 3/6 games on Sven and not on Stars, because they really are not the same.
Go back to making HU video please.

not a big fan of the highlight feature :)

Any interesting live plo hands in vegas? Or plo zoom cash?

And welcome to Vancouver :)

Hey Phil,

1) At 8:48, when u have KQJ4 on 664ss, and u CR, was your plan to fold if jammed on and "call and decide" if he clicks it back? I'm assuming this changes astronomically in mtt/cash.

2) At 21min mark, u have already mentioned the merits of your bluff w/ t847cc on a395cc in that he has a lot of 789 w/ fd, pair and gutshot w fd/, lower 2p with fd/.

Are you looking to bet-big/bluff because  his range primarily doesn't consist of 2-4, and that his range consists primarily of weak 2p hands, or pair +gutshot+fd hands THAT cannot call? Or do you think he is folding a hand like even A5/A9/bottom set? 

*Will this be different in a cash game?

Mine works perfectly fine. And disagree

Hi Phil, enjoyed the live commentary.

At around 7min, u 3b the flop with j937 on j32dd with no backup, u mentioned just going with it unhappily if he clicks it back, I'm assuming you are also going to unhappily call it off if he jams? What if your opponent just call your 1050 raise with about 4k behind (spr 2ish), i guess the straightening/flush cards are pretty opponent dependent, but what about blanks like 7 or higher that doesn't make a flush?

This seems to happen a lot in live deep stack cash games (or just deep ante games) where effective stacks/spr are like closer to 4 to 5 on the turn, it seems awkward to bet fold the turn on a blank but also seem like its the right play because we have a strong range per se. Do you play your range more tricky in deep stack live games where you flat the raise with topset? Or flat the raise with top two?

Thx!

Hi Phil,

Nice video.

At 7:20, you cbet AAQ3 and he check raise j47r as the preflop raiser, what types of hands do you think he is CRing here? Do you think it is a spot that if you call/float the flop CR, he can get outplayed on the turn a bunch unless he doing it with his "super value hands" such as jt98/568X/sets/KK56 type hands? For example, if he has j7xx, he has to check fold a bunch of turns like 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, t, sometimes q, k, a (unless he hits his kickers). Likewise, if he has hands like QJ96 and CR, he has to fold a bunch on turns, and if not turn, on the river a bunch against a bet(s).

So what type of hands do you think the preflop raiser should CR the flop with and how does it affect his "cbet as pfr oop" and "check call as pfr oop" range?

Against an observant opponent, do you think it is quite exploitable if you remove too many strong hands from your cbetting range? Or do you think he is CRing light and assumes nobody ever calls too light and just overall lays himself a nice price and has good equity against your calling range most of the time (as oppose to cbetting flop, gets called, and having to check fold the turn?)

Thanks!

Hi Phil,

Good video as always.

At about 45min mark, you talk about j7dd52 as a good checking hand because it is very live against hands he is going to check fold (approx 50% ish? )and is dominated by a higher flush draw (Ahi or Qhi -- if he checks these all the time?) or a hand we are doing poorly like 2pair/2pair+higher fd/set against his check-calling range. I was wondering if it was actually a good spot to bet because you can guarantee or make a hand we "do good against" fold. On the other hand, we can barrel the turn and river to rep the QJ straight, and he might possibly try to bluff on diamonds when he misses and we can have a bluff catcher. This seems to make us tougher to play against while we can balance our bet-bet range... Or do you think we are FPS'ing and he is just clicking call call with 2pair on the turn and river?

Maybe some older highstakes PLO videos would be nice. And maybe throw in a few 9max hands in there for the live grinders. Thankss:)

Older hu session vs Eire would be interesting, along with any older highstakes footage unseen would also be nice. 

1)

at about 47min mark, you 3bet j865ds, you mentioned its a good hand to bet because its very vulnerable. Do you mean its more vulnerable in terms of hands that might check back the flop but we do pretty okay against (or pretty well) like AKQ6 or QTKx/JQTX QQxx w/flush draw or pure 8hi flush draw 

OR is it  

against hands where they are going to bet anyways like Ahi spades, Kxxx with flush draw, etc...

what is your default against an unknown if you are raised small? and raised pot? 

AND

2)

given that every turn card is pretty to bet again for value, maybe except offsuit 2, 3, 4, 5 and its close on offsuit 6, 7, and 8, (not ecstatic about betting but not happy about checking either)... all the straightening cards and flush cards when we check-- our hand is going to look like what we have...

I know you mentioned about the check call line with pure KJ no spades... and then check call again or check jam on the turn...  but is J856 no spades a candidate to check call still or is it better to bet and protect against hands where they will check back but call a flop bet? Or does that skew our range too much towards check calls and we are not betting a board that is good for the 3bettor if we are checking a hand like this (in other words, we are going to be check calling 70-80% of our continuing range). How do you think this strategy will do?

and hands like 5667ds against a high card 4bet range?

hi phil,

how do you think hands like AJJ3 ds or KJJ9 single suited would do against a 4bet range that consists primarily of AA and premium rundowns (85% AA 15% rundowns)? Do you think in deep ante games, is it still breaking even or losing a little bit when the SPR is at about 2.75 to 3.25 on the flop? Given they stack off pretty light or really careful on locked down boards like 89Jhh (and we can potentially bluff and win)...

Hey Phil, you mentioned about the adjustments in zoom plo
compared to deep ante games where people are overfolding (both preflop and postflop) and overall
weaker fields (calling/folding/bluffing incorrectly). It seems like zoom poker is more similar to the live field and that people are more passive.

So my question is that what adjustments do you make when you are playing a 9max/8max full ring plo game? Do you suggest taking a more aggressive approach by isolating alot 3b/4betting in position (i.e. do you 3bet kk89ds because so often people are raising tight ranges utg/utg+1 or "the callers who called the original raise" are just calling with aces so they can repot squeeze when it gets back to them) or just playing a bunch of good multiway hands and only 3betting rundowns or something like that?

Great deep video as always, please continue making more deep videos!

I think your videos are great, please continue doing deep ante series 6max and it's more entertaining and sophisticated game than 100bbs.  I think 4-6 tables are good as u run into more spots. Second the idea of not making the series too long and more updated sessions. Hh hand review of 3b/4bet are interesting. I actually liked your 9table series alot but some may think the action ( in terms of length) took too long because u had to go through so many hands.

Hi Sam, I think it would be an interesting video if you talked about how you play your AAXX in 3bet/4bet/5bet pot either theory wise or example based (i.e. HEM). And how to play them on monotone boards, 89t boards, etc...

never have jj89 b/c we will jam the turn.
