Do u guys think this XR 76s is something for me to do at 5/T? Or is it more a high stakes play?

Is it correct that u don't XR some of ur straight draws on a board like this with high cards because they have too much SD value (QJ, Q9)? And does that allow u to XR more cheese Smile?

I always thought this was a bad board to bluff, because he hits it too much and w are gonna have to fire multiple barrels. Interesting...

Q8o: Aren't u afraid u will get a really thin value-bet range on the turn if u check Qx? How often do u XR an A on this board? So basically u will only fire a stronger Q (?) or 2pairs on the turn for value. But u have all those bluffs. Now like u said u give up and XF some of them, but still.

I downloaded it and will watch it in the next few days, but I want to say 2things:
1. I love it that otr is in so many vids lately
2. I don't really like that some of the new vids have a length that exceeds 1h. IMO the best length is 40-50 minutes and I hate to only watch the first half of a video, because I usually forget to watch the rest later.

I give this video Sushi's sign of approval and five stars! Awesome stuff! The only downside was that all bluffs (as far as I can recall) failed Gasp.

My throat usually doesn't like it either, but that just seems to be the way that I record the vast majority of the time. It's very hard for me to cut off my interest when I'm talking poker hands with anyone, let alone someone as good as OTR, where I'm really interested in to hear pretty much every detail of the thought process that goes into how he plays.

I'll keep that in mind for future vids though. We already have one vid that nearly exceeded 2 hours that I decided to split into 2 vids because of this. Smile

one of the best videos I have watched recently. I don't claim myself to be a good LHE player but this video was entertaining and it was interesting to hear your thoughts in different spots. It was also cool to see a style that differentiates somewhat from the standard LHE style.
Thumbs up!

We missed the fact that he can definitely have AClubXClub as well. I'd still call because people can do weird stuff and I'd expect a lot of players to just bet with an Ace here more often than they check. If I think he folds 2pr then it's an obvious check but everyone pays off with that hand here now even though they probably shouldn't.

I'm curious, though -- do you bluff 100% with 7Club6Club here? GTO wise I'd imagine you have to, but exploitatively it seems like an ok spot to check back because there are almost no hands that c/f in his range that play this way.

Do you mean where I had KK? I probably wouldn't have 76cc since villain opened UTG and I threebet. If I did get to the river with it, I think checking back is probably correct.

Yeah, missed preflop when I was reviewing this and thought he just defending against your BTN open. Seems like it makes it much more likely that you should be inclined to fold to a c/r on the river now based on that.
