Epic. Didn't know about Birdman-ing.

Oh, and no way I retire if I'm Peyton. I've already won a Superbowl so I'm locked up for the hall of fame. Now I'm just straight making that guaranteed money--like probably 40 mil. I'd probably birdman while I'm signing the new contract.

Don't tell me money isn't the most important thing here. It's the only thing.

Even though I don't know his medical history, I'd imagine he's had enough medical people tell him he's going to be fine. Oh, and since we already know he's signed with the Broncos, that team is stacked. Like way better than the Colts have been over the past 2-3 years.

Eli sucks and I don't care what Danzasmack thinks. The kid made two lucky passes and now everyone thinks he's baller. Eli looks like a lamer version of Eeyore from Winnie-the-Pooh.

Lol, had I been in his spot, I think I would have bet 99 and realized I had no idea why I bet. I mean, he only beats 5x, 6x, 77, 88 right? Maybe you snap off a bluff w/ King high? So that sounds like a good argument for x/c? Especially given what's in your call down range, betting seems like suicide.

Just looking at how you played the hand, is your call down range only pp lower than Aces here? Idk, how often do you play Ax the way you played this hand? Do you differentiate and put in a raise with stronger Aces vs weaker Aces? Is this opponent specific?

Oh, if he had like KK-JJ, and the board came A T xxx (or some situation where BBB more likely makes a second best hand) then its an easier x/r b b the way he did right?

you mention that you probably fold a river here if he bets again. this is a pretty big mistake i think. messing around with the EV calculator, if he plays his draws this way > 35% of the time, then you are making a mistake by folding.

I think I wait for the turn with all my flushdraws, but from what I'm starting to see in other video's I don't think I'm right. The things that cross my mind right now are which hands to semibluff with (either the Ace high or smaller flush draws), when to x/r (either the flop or turn), whether board texture matters, and how do we balance our play (if our opponent is capable of noticing).

As for raising the smaller flush draws, we're targeting the King/Queen/Jack high hands and trying to get them to fold. Well, if anything folds we're happy. So it seems appropriate to semibluff right? As for the Ace high draws, we have have some showdown value, so we run into problems when we start folding out worse hands (whereas that might not be too bad if the pot is larger).

Here there's a paired board, and I think if we x/r the flop with the Ace high flush draw we don't realize the fold equity with regards to the better hands we are targeting. If we x/r the Ace high draw on the flop, then the preflop raiser/c-bettor pretty much never believes the flop x/r as trips and instantly thinks "flush draw." That's basically what you did right? So we don't get any made hands to fold, and probably get peeled light on the turn as well. Then do you continue firing the river? Just thinking about river actions, don't all worse hands fold, and only sometimes/rarely will we actually make a better hand fold?

I'm thinking if a King or Queen is on the flop [i.e. K84, Q97] by the time we hit the river maybe we get fourth pair to fold. Maybe a small pocket pair. I don't know if that happens as much on a 996xx flop. Thoughts?

As for picking between the flop and turn to semibluff, you're firing two barrel's right BBB? So then shouldn't we wait to raise the turn? Maybe that depends on whether the pfr'r auto two barrels and what if any scare cards force him to shut down on the turn.

Oh, and does all of this mean we have to wait for the turn with all of our value hands? (And assuming we're playing against someone who is a thinking "red chip" player). Do that mean we take our trips/strong pp's and wait to raise the turn with them as well?

I'm tired. I should have answered/responded two weeks ago to the other video. I'll try to do that tomorrow.

That's right folks, take note that in no way did Chuck defend his sorry excuse for a quarterback.

You're right. The 4,933 regular season passing yards he threw and the 0 points your QB put up against us in the playoffs speaks for itself.

on the Q9dd hand on the left? yeah you're right, i'm getting a reasonable price and what else is he going to do if he does have a busted draw? c/r flop and barrel ui is a pretty standard line, and i've already pointed out that he's pretty c/r happy on the flop so likely his range does have a lot of draws in it

thanks

just spent a while looking for relevant clips on youtube, but really it's any video that he's in, ever

birdman, not peyton
