imo hand8 we should keep aa89. that way we get to keep bdfd and also make a straight for omaha portion of the hand when 6 or j come on the board. also i think our aa does not need that much improvement so we dont sacrifice that much. (i mean we dont really need aaa, 2p likely always nuts)

around min 35 you wonder if you would ever 3bet j5432ds - then u mentioned you checked and it would be a 3bet. what program are you using?

Great video Concept and some really interesting hands! Would generally love to see more live poker videos on general but i am mostly a live player so I guess this has to be true for me ;)
The only line i am really questioning is the turn raise with the KT. I am with you that most lagy fishy opponents really almost never have a value hand in this spot but why not just call and reevaluate river. I think your line doesnt look credible at all given that he seems to be very polarised and FH of you would call down pretty much all the time. So I am honestly not sure if you get villain to fold this specific hand on any card below a T or an A which are by the way all the cards you dont hit your hands. On the other hand some crazy opponents who tend to do a lot of big bluffs might do this in a spot like that with their garbage holecards like 85o/75o with one club or to justify the way they played the hand so far (I actually think that is one of the biggest reasons for amatures to make big bluffs and its also the most underrated/ least thought of reason) so why not just call down some rivers or raise them if you dont feel comfortable calling a really big bet with K high.

Good Video!
On the 962ccKAc I am not sure if I really like bluffing the river. I feel like he has rarely two pair given that some 96 combos are raising flop and a lot of 2 pair Kings are raising turn on that very drawheavy board, There are very few one pair kings in villains range so I feel like you are mostly bluffing one pair hands with straightdraws like 987, 876, K543, etc. On the other hand I see him playing some flushdraws like QJcc or random pairs with flushdraws (propaply not that many Kxxxcc altough certainly some) and some 78cc like that. I was very suprised that you didnt like villains c/c turn with that hand. Villain is propably loosing a little bit of money on the 7 non boardpairing flushcards, obv more money on the 2 that pair the board, is propably winning a little bit on the 2 fours, because heroe is pretty much always valuebetting K9 and some K6 there and can bluff on those as well, and he is ofcourse winning on his 6 nutouts. On boardpairing cards villain might also give up some bluffs, giving villain a tiny little bit of showdownvalue with the 44. So villain has 17 outs that improve him what are almost 39% of rivers, on 7 of those he loses a small amount of money, on 2 of those a bigger amount, on the 2 fours he propably wins a little bit and on the 6 nutouts he should make a lot more than he loses with the flushouts, letting me feel he has almost certainly positive implied odds.
One more thing that came to my mind is that I would like to bluff small flushcards more than the Ac and doing that by just betting the pot to make my range look a litte bit more polarised to A- or K-high flushes, that villain obviously has a lot of in his range and air. That way I feel like villain might fold some flushes altough he might call some rivered straights or other herocalls too, so I am not certain if that play is certainly better than checking or bluffing smaller.

At 22.34 you decide to give up river because you dont rep anything. Dont you think you could potentially have hands like A5 in your range just like you had A4? Also you could have XXKcTc and potentially some 44 combo?

Hey Phil!
On the KK Hand with the Q864 board i would be very tempted to just ovebet jam the turn with a very big part of my range because his flop callig range seems very wide and I think most thinking opponents are bet/folding just very weak hands like JT or maybe 45s because on a drawheavy board like this where it seems unlikely you ch/call a large amount. I feel like he is realising his equity much more often with hands like 9T, 67, 78 or flushdraws that dont have too much extra equity like K3cc than if you jam what seem like a reasonabe thing to do with all overpairs, KQ or Aq and good drawinghands like 67 or K7cc. I wonder if you considered that play and what you think about it. I am also courious to know what you would do with a hand like TT that seems to be in a pretty awkward spot.
