would love to be part of this. play mostly 1-2 through 5-10 live currently 360 218 9798

good video. I think you should use the pio feature "square size proportional to weight"; it helps me understand the postflop ranges much better.

good to see the video producer so active in his thread /s

Loved it. More of these please!

No it plays horrible oop postflop and getting squeezed is a disaster

idk if this is a mistake but I typically fold this hand CO v MP

is MP the type of guy to ever flat AA** in these positions preflop? if not, then I'm okay just re-potting preflop.

i dont like leading turn, he will still have plenty of boats in his range on turn. when he checks back i assume this eliminates nearly all his boat combos.

seeing how its hard for him to get here with KKxx and he might bet turn with KTxx, seems like a reasonable spot to go for the river c/r

flop and turn bets are weakish? how did you come to that conclusion? they seem super strong to me

mandatory bluff.. why would you put so much money in on flop and turn with a zero equity hand if you werent going to bomb rivers that don't change the board? seems like you need to re-evaluate your gameplans

I've never played 5plo but it would surprise me if 90% of 3bet ranges consist of AAxx. But if so, just flat any hand without an ace in it. Easy enough to play against a range huge weighted towards AA.

I'm not going to say flop is a clear check/call or a clear cbet, I think both are viable strategies depending on the opponent. I assume most 5plo players are more on the cally/passive side so I am totally fine with cbetting this hand. I just think your sizing doesn't make much sense for this exact holding. No reason to go this big and bloat the pot/narrow his range for continuing.

Turn: Betting 1/2 pot on this dynamic of a board doesn't accomplish much. You definitely ahead of his range. I would either go bigger here (reasonably represent a nutty hand) or check call and check call most non-club rivers and check raise or donk heart rivers. Both are viable options.

River: Clearly a check. No better hands will fold to a bet and no worse hands will call. Check and decide. If he bets big, I'd be tempted to hero given the AA blockers and it being fairly unlikely he would be large without a set+ (which would raise before river). If he bet smaller, he could be doing it with a weakish two pair for value, so in that case you just have to make a read on what type of player this guy is.

Well, he's repping two hands: 86 and AAcc. I say given the general tightness of his stats he is weighted a bit more heavily to AAcc. However, his turn sizing is strangely small for a hand like AAcc which likely wants to just push you off your equity and apply max pressure. So, yeah it's tricky. When someone 3b sqz oop, cbets dynamic board that is bad for their range, then offers an impossibly good price to you when your opponents ranges has VERY few bluffs, it almost feels like he has 86 + high clubs or set + nut flush. You are doing quite poorly against that range. Despite being laid a great price, I think our hand is just too weak with very little visibility on rivers to continue on turn.

this is how i played it and it felt a little dirty at the time, considering raising is purely for protection since i'll never get called by worse. not sure if protection/making hand easier to play, is worth it?

ya leading and barreling/protection-betting straighten cards seems like a decent route

i play it the same.

there are just too few draws that he can have and I tend to think most people are putting in a flop raise with their big wraps on that flop. 

definitely raise flop. your equity is great against practically everything and people at this level are going to defending their cbets very wide imo

most regs that i've played with at this level cbet their sets on this board as a default and i think it's best given how tricky it is to play if he check/calls; his range would be fairly face up as a medium strength pot controlling hand, which makes your decisions easier. 

I think we can rule out most of his nut flushes/nfd blockers here given that a vast majority would bet/bet/bet. so this makes value betting the turn appealing to me.

Moral of the story: 50zoom players are fairly nonsensical and frequently make absurd plays.

With that said, I think I fold river here.
