I really don't mind the 3-b, we need some kind of bluffingrange and A5s is a decent hand to include.

As for the rest - I'd rather xb on that texture as I don't expect that we have that much feq on that board and I'm not too happy to get x/shoved on. Your sizing also doesn't seem too optimal, I'd either bet smaller or bigger on both streets

I hope you didn't consider folding now, there's no way you should given the price.

Both are folds imo, at least according to hrc

Size of the antes?

Seems like a fold to me, depending on how spewy villain is though. Against a more or less "optimal" shovingrange we'd call ~9% (depending on the size of the antes), that would be ATo+ so we're a bit off.

We should also consider the fact that the downside of having 9bbs compared to 20bb is bigger than the upside of having 31bb compared to 20bb.

Good video as always!
Regarding the KJ-hand at around 41:00: Do you really think villain's gonna reshove 22+ in that spot in a bounty considering the even smaller feq he has?

I'd defintetely be interested if enough people join in - it's about time for me to find a group of other players to talk to again. I'll keep an eye on the thread :)

That's not entirely true, as we don't always need >50% when valuebetting oop

Yeah you should definitely have an idea how your ranges should look like in certain spots which is, generally speaking, alot easier preflop. This includes opening-ranges as well as 3-b/4-b-ranges, but this does not mean that you strictly have to follow them but rather use it as a starting-point.
So you might want to, let's say, 3-b ~17% BBvSB as a default. But that number will obv rise or fall depending on the tendencies of the SB.

There's a thread you might be interested in:
Preflop-ranges

Don't fold.
You may not have enough equity against his nut-range, but there are lots of worse hands in his range as well.

How often are you checking Qx ott though?

But yeah, I can't find many better hands to call down here with, I actually like his sizing as he's probably betting a somewhat polarized range there.

We're a big enough equity-favourite that we can get away with betting our whole range here on the Flop, but if we want to construct a checkingrange I don't think AJo should be part of it.
As played I'm checking the Turn, Villain has more 8x-combos than we do and there aren't that many hands left in our range that we want to bet ott

TT is the bottom of my 4b/callingrange, and I'd much much rather bluff-4-b hands that play well post, as we're gonna get called frequently in that spot.

Folding ATo here pre vs that villain would be pretty bad imo, though I'm also not a huge fan. I'd fold vs a tight 3-b-range though.

My valuerange is gonna be the usual suspects, and I'd definitly x/r Qx vs that sizing - all AQ, many KQ and some QT w bd-fd.

Well I'd happily 3-barrel 98s with the turned nuts ;) And I wouldn't start barreling w 76s, you're right with the Q-blockers though

Meh...I just don't think you need to call there, as your range is rather protected, you don't have any bd-draws, and I don't think that villain is gonna raise-giveup many hands worse than yours.

The only good thing about our hand is that we block AQ/KQ and don't block any club-draws, but that's about it.

+1
I think we can only b/f as an exploitative play, and as long as I'm not sure that villain's a huge nit I'd call as well. You'll see a ton of weird shit in these spots.

Awesome video!
I don't want to be too nitpicky though, but I think BBs callingrange seems maybe a tad bit too tight vs a minraise? I.e. I'd assume villain has all Txs and is gonna 3-b his Axs to some degree - not that it would change too much, but still.

We're close to the bottom of our range, our hand is a very weak bluffcatcher and we can probably fold a bit more as we need to as ppl aren't bluffing enough in this spot on lower limits.
wp imo

After BB cold calls the 3-bet, should I even have a 4-bet bluffing range here?

Well that very much depends on the BB. If he's a fish, then no, you don't need a bluffingrange here imo. But you should be aware that if you 4-b AQ here vs a fish it's not necessarily a bluff per se, as he might just decide to call/call with 2 pretty cards.

So if SB isn't 3-betting very narrow 4-betting's fine imo.

because I'm not sure what my calling range and 4-betting range should look like when there's been a cold call.

Again, that very much depends on the BB. If he's a fish then you'll call vv wide and 4-b very valueheavy. If he's a reg you'll call your somewhat decent multiway-hands and all pockets.

Well let's assume a somewhat realistic range:

MP2 60.81% 60.81% 0.00% QQ+, AdKd, Ad5d, Kd5d, Ad4d, Ad3d, Ad2d, AdKh, AdKs, AdKc, AhKd, AsKd, AcKd, AdTh, AdTs, AdTc, Ad9h, Ad9s, Ad9c, KdQh, KdQs, KdQc
MP3 39.19% 39.19% 0.00% AhQd

We only need ~28% for our Call to be good, so, yeah. Even if we exclude KQ from that range, we still have enough equity to call

I'd much rather raise combodraws and flat w FDs+overs in that spot though. Your implieds will be even smaller w hands like 98cc and there are occasions where we dominate villain or he decides to bluff if we hit TP w our hand

You can discount KK+ though as ppl tend to 4-b smaller rather than shipping with them. His range is shifted more towards AK/JJ/QQ here imo.
