hey James,
At 6.30 you say there is no other play than to check back with JJ. Would it be ridiculous to just shove here as a VB ? I'm guessing that most vilains after using such a weird line and this kind of turn bet are going to auto-shove the river with anything that beats you and they dont really have a balanced check-calling range. So you almost always have the best hand river, don't you ?
Even it is hard to see what he is going to check call you with on the river he will be given more than 4 to 1. He just might have hit the 9 river and prefer to c/c it. Also you have very few kings in your range. You will have some KQs, KJs that have a bd flush draw. That means that if you don't VB Jacks river then you bet for value very few hands in this spot and vilain is given more than 4 to 1. I can see some bluff in your range here given that you dont give vilain too much credit on the flop. Any float with 2 overcards and hearts, 65hh, 64hh, 54s, A2hh, A3hh

Hi guys !
What do you think about this spot ?
Mp3 and btn looks like to be recreative players, co is top player, sb bb and mp1 decent reg
Is Icm the only thing to take care in Final Table ?
Thanks guy ;)

Hi Paul !
at 8:20, you 3 bet aqs btn vs aggro opponent , flop aa4ss .
He never have anything here .
what do you think about checking big part of your range here and bet only bluffs and hand like 88 to qq, and flushdraws ?
thanks ;)

Hi Paul !
we see adaimax limping / call iso with kts when you have qq at 00 : 30
at 3:00 adaimax open 2x at 120 you 3b him at 300 with qq and he flats and check fold on j66
at 4 :30 , he opens 3x to 240 , you 3b him at 480 and he 4b to 1580
This guy looks pretty fishy, i think when he is 3x-ing preflop , he tells to everyone at the table that he have a good starting hand . do you agree ?
What can we do against a fish who is 3x-ing early position with aqo in cutoff ? maybe just fold is the best play ? or its too weak ? he just lost his stack and reloaded, he might be on tilt .
Even if its look like result oriented , I think 3bet is just burning money .

Hey Nick, thx for your answer !
have made some math ;)
wina payout structure :
to begin :
Ranges:
[K8s ] vs [TT+ AQs+ AQo+ ] Equity: 29.972%
I think that this calling range seems accurate even if i'm a degen ;)
The more difficult thing is to find vilain openning range, he doubles up few hands ago, and never had this stack before ( 25bb ) . i assume sb and bb range are pretty tight, maybe im wrong .
there is results depending his opening range :
against a pretty tight 14.5 % [77+ QJ+ A8+ ]openning range, we should jam 3 % JJ+ AK+
against 26.2 % openning range, we should jam 30.1 %
Against 34.2%, 22+ Ax+ K2s+ K8o+ Q8s+ QTo+ J9s+ JTo T9s 98s 87s 76s 65s ,
we should jam 94.6 % 94.6%, 22+ Tx+ 92s+ 95o+ 82s+ 84o+ 72s+ 73o+ 3x+
Pretty funny ;)
Hope i didnt make any mistake in holdem calculator haha ;)

Hey Nick !
Thanks for quality of your answear ;)
I think vs a competent player who have a high rfi and low f3b, we should adjust regarding his 4b % and flat 3b% .
I agree with you that until we have a read that he adjusts to our 3b by flatting a very high %, we should just 3b call :)
If you have a few minutes, i will be very thankful if you can answear to my question about handling a final table beeing huge stack on run it once forum, just click here guys ;)
Thanks a lot Nick

Hi Nick !
at 8;50 you have 3b/ call 66 against 22 28bb deep
what do you think about 3b shove? it allow to remove his equity with hands like suited connectors that he can 4b shove , or flat .
if he's opening so wide, we have a very good risk reward , even if he have a wide calling range ?
I will not be happy if he flat . very difficult to play oop vs an competent opponent who will not be fit or fold postflop...

Hi ;)
what do you think is the best strategy when you have big stack on final table ?
there is stacks ( blind 15k - 30k)
Seat 1: Player1 ( 456042 ) - VPIP: 24, PFR: 19, 3B: 8, AF: 1,9, Hands: 391
Seat 2: Player2 ( 312701 ) - VPIP: 12, PFR: 10, 3B: 3, AF: 7,0, Hands: 269
Seat 4: Player4 ( 436658 ) - VPIP: 13, PFR: 13, 3B: 5, AF: 0,0, Hands: 55
Seat 5: Player5 ( 333176 ) - VPIP: 28, PFR: 21, 3B: 5, AF: 1,7, Hands: 196
Seat 6: Player6 ( 335820 ) - VPIP: 13, PFR: 12, 3B: 6, AF: 0,0, Hands: 126
Seat 8: Hero ( 1553089 ) - VPIP: 46, PFR: 35, 3B: 18, AF: 3,2, Hands: 24858
Seat 9: Player9 ( 492514 ) - VPIP: 23, PFR: 19, 3B: 11, AF: 2,9, Hands: 258
I started by raising a lot until i've been shoved on 3 time in a row by 3 different opponent .
i switched to no brain shove strategy because then have 15bb max, and they've got a lot of icm .
Do you guys agree ? or it was just better to play a solid poker, watch my opponents bust and wait for 3 - handed for being agressive again ?
I shoved t9s, middle position, was called and splitted against ak, then i shoved k7s and lost against a7o in BB
i was down 1.2 million, when happened this hand ( so i already have a degen image at the table ) :
Seat 8 is the button
Seat 1: Player1 ( 438842 ) - VPIP: 24, PFR: 19, 3B: 8, AF: 1,9, Hands: 391
Seat 2: Player2 ( 295501 ) - VPIP: 12, PFR: 10, 3B: 3, AF: 7,0, Hands: 269
Seat 4: Player4 ( 404458 ) - VPIP: 13, PFR: 13, 3B: 5, AF: 0,0, Hands: 55
Seat 5: Player5 ( 750052 ) - VPIP: 28, PFR: 21, 3B: 5, AF: 1,7, Hands: 196
Seat 6: Player6 ( 273620 ) - VPIP: 13, PFR: 12, 3B: 6, AF: 0,0, Hands: 126
Seat 8: Hero ( 1237113 ) - VPIP: 46, PFR: 35, 3B: 18, AF: 3,2, Hands: 24858
Seat 9: Player9 ( 520414 ) - VPIP: 23, PFR: 19, 3B: 11, AF: 2,9, Hands: 258
Player9 posts small blind [15000].
Player1 posts big blind [30000].
Dealt to Hero [ Kh 8h ]
** Dealing down cards **
Player2 folds
Player4 folds
Player5 raises [60000]
Player6 folds
Hero raises [1232813]
Player9 calls [501114]
Player1 folds
Player5 folds
** Dealing Flop ** [ Kd, 6d, 9d ]
** Dealing Turn ** [ 4h ]
** Dealing River ** [ Tc ]
Player9 shows [Ks, Kc ]
Hero shows [Kh, 8h ]
Hero wins 716699 from main pot
Player9 wins 1152328 from main pot
I tried to abuse the 2nd in chips, but sb woke up with a monster .
I don't want to be result oriented but i think that it was spewy, and maybe that i should just 3b fold to 130k ?
What do you think about this play ?
Thanks for your help guys ;)

not working
Hey Juan, I enjoyed watching this series.
By counting your combos like that, are you not omitting that you should only call 1-a hands that can beat a bluff, and not the overall 1-a ?
