reasons for betting A4 on 247 6 2 board?
I don't think there's enough value, tbh.

Also, thoughts on just raising flop for value? I mean, perhaps I'm being results oriented, since I saw him check the turn.

Interesting series, the dual commentary stuff is where DC really crushes. I'd probably watch if DD and BBB set up a dual commentary series on cricket.

One technical note, it would make it easier for someone who doesn't regularly 4+ table if Hero's cards were not half hidden under HUD stats.

bellatrix, I don't see how the A4 on 24762 could be not bet. Hero has the best hand always (ok I give 1% for villain havina a 2) and is closing the betting for the hand.

Agree that Hero often has the best hand, but that hand is not gonna get called often except by stuff that beats us - is he really c/c-ing the two big streets with A-high?
I mean, betting so that villain can't see our holecards and maybe freerolling might be some valid arguments, I just think they are about equal in chance than villain playing a 2 that way for a c/r.

He will level himself enough of the time to make it a bet imo

I don't think its really right in between, we have the nuts a lot, but he will have random outs, I think all those hands except A3 and A4 are bets.

I think we need to either 3 bet like DD said or at least cc. The pot is getting kinda big with a bad player who ol. It is also very easy to play our hand in such spot. I hate a fold /w 55. 22,33,44 is close.

Yeah definitely agree should be a 3bet. I think a coldcall might be kinda bad actually because of the shorty.

Can you clarify what you mean for the HUD/cards? I'm not sure I understood. Thanks.

I don't think he has as many 2x combos because it's BvB. I do also see people defensively checkcall down with ace or king high here fairly often in BvB pots.

Your HUD box is placed so your cards are only showing the top half, i.e. the small numbers. If you move the box an inch down the cards are more visible.

Oh, okay. I do that to cover my stack size so I don't see results, but there should be a way to tweak it some. I'll take a look.

I made a stat panel called "player name" and did "only show for hero" for it, then I dragged it over my chip stack, and it's an automatic tilt-blocker.

or you could download tilt blocker, DC has a version.

was curious about the A2 discussion on turn play as BB vs SB steal on 6438 board

any chance that if we are seriously considering peeling here as being best a raise might not be better than a call? I am either folding this or raising usually since the 5 river gives a chop, a club might scare him and he is facing more decisions. It just seems calling is not play that I would default to.

Is this too spewy or weak? (contradiction, i know)

Well, I take it your raise would be as a bluff, right? What kind of better hands do you think he'll fold? I tend to assume that sort of unknown bad-ish players are going to be pretty showdown bound so I didn't like the idea of turning my bluffcatcher into a bluff here. In general I don't do that much at all with ace high type of hands. In this spot I think he'll mostly fold worse hands if I raise, and call all better. I think looking at it now that maybe fold is playable also, but I think I have okay equity vs his range, given the price I'm getting, assuming he double-barrels almost all of it in a BvB hand, so I think the call is okay.

spoiler alert, the hand above is copied incorrectly: the board should read 6437

well, maybe I am misinterpreting the discussion........ I thought that your idea was that it was possible the villain is barreling with Kx Qx Jx type hands. That was the reason for the turn peel right? And then the idea was that perhaps calling the river was best, ONCE you called the turn.

My idea was, you are thinking of putting in two bets light? Why not, IF you think you have the best hand, and a totally scary board, raise this turn? OR fold. But calling two seems like you not only lose to the bluffs but also to the Ax value hands and the pairs he already has or will have with the outs on the river.

you have a hand that is unlikely to be 3bet by villain...... (perhaps an erroneous assumption based on the higher limit)

If you do not like the river, you can check behind. But......... you seem to be saying in the vid that although you call the turn, folding the river would be a contradiction, which I agree with.

I seem to recall you agreeing that folding to the turn bet is best, but if you're folding a turn that would be so scary to most SB here, what were you hoping for on the flop call?

I know it seems like I am grilling you, as if you had made a bad play, which is absolutely not what I am meaning to do. Just curious as my typical thoughts DO run along the lines above. And I feel this may be a huge leak in my game.
