at the KK vs AAT in a 68T Ts Tr do you really think folding river is an option? I mean, the turn ten is a card he's barreling a decent amount specially when flush draw, and of course he's gonna barrel river when he missed. Yes, is likely you have a ten but he also can get you out the str8, floats, 66, 88 which are a good part of your range. Also, he can be valuebetting thin with JJ, QQ. I really think you can't fold to that small river bet

on a almost every card in the deck you have to check the river and fall in a guessing game. I prefer x/c turn. As played and since villian doesn't need to turn hands into bluffs I think folding is a better option. Also, when you have the nfd is less likely he has miss flush draws so his range should be a lot more inclined to value hands

x/r is far better than cbetting imo

SPR 1.8 is low enough to commit on a lot of flops... and of course give up on few. I think 4bet is the very best play

Min 18': Flop 7d5c3h, you just fold to cbet. Any particular reason for that? I mean, our range hits better than his and we have a pretty decent hand to continue on a lot of turn. What do you think?

@ min 47, on the QhQcTh hand you decide to x/f a hearth turn. What do you think about betting about 10 dollars to extract value from his Qx hands?? I mean, his range is more of queens than flush draws and even if he has the flush he's not going to raise anyway.

Don't you think against a player who plays 100% of hands, is a good strategy to bet bet bet extremely often and put high pressure to his weak ranges? I mean, is a extreme adjustment to an extreme way of play and we use to our advantage the fact the his ranges are so weak that he can't call 3 streets. If we decide to reduce our cbet frequency we're giving him more and more excuses to keep playing all the hands because now we're softer playing flops. I think if we want to strength our ranges, folding more preflop is the way to go.

I think is an easy call with the odds you have. A lot of good things could happen that makes the call ev+ imo. You may have the best hand and river go check check. You may hit a spade and win if he has a 3. Also, and super important imo, you have huge impplied odds on hitting a Q.

in the last hand (65s on QA6dd, 3r) you think about shoving the turn... but, don't you think this is a spot where you are going to just call the raise with your entire value range? I mean, is very hard to build a balanced range for shoving the turn because isn't enought value hands to compensate all the drawy hands you are going to have there

Phil, what you did? What did he have?

guessing that viktor's double barreling frequency is be very high, I think folding flop is the best play... if he was cbet-potting and giving up a decent amount of the time we can call very confortable... but I don't think this is the case. If the board has a flush draw and we have just a backdoor, we can call because we can bluff on later streets more often. When calling the flop, on that turn I think is not bad just ship it in; our equity can't be so bad and we even can be called by a commited hand (like AcJcTx), not to mention that we always have decent fold equity here. As played, we're facing a bet on the river that makes me feel like Nemo on the Pacific Ocean... I mean, Viktor have a looot of bluffs here and a looot of value hands, hence is very hard to define which value/bluff ratio he has on rivers like this). Since we need to be good 28% of the time, I think we just can't fold versus his range here.

I think is very hard to get value from worst hands, however he just can't represent JQxx, and anyway his hands seems to have a lot of showdown value, so he's checking back a lot., so he's never bluffing the river. He surely could valuebet worst hands like slowplayed AA, but in order to know if is better to bet or check we need to think about how often he_hero_calls vs he_bluffs_repping_nothing+valuebet_thin_against_a_polarized_range. I really think the answer to this question is very intuitive so imo betting a big bet hoping for a hero is the very best play.

well, not exactly like tha hand in the other video because here you have a gutshot... but suppose you dont have

Hey Phil, I've already post this in another video but is also aplicable in this one because of the very first hand you play. Firs of all, is a pleasure to watch your videos again. I wish you the best of luck on this project. I have a question about frequencies... in spots where you don't have blockers in your hand and almost no backdoor equity (like in the firsr hand), how do you adjusts your bluffing frequencies. I mean, if you just decide to bluff considering only the board texture, you would be doing it every time (for example, evry time board paired on the turn) and that's unbalanced enought to be exploitable imo. Also, you may say that you make this bluffs with your worst hands and decide to not doing it with your medium streght hands, but if you do this you still gonna have a range with so much more air than value hands. Thanks in advance. Cheers
