Oh, then I think it's a slam-dunk turn raise

dd or bbb - u got any recommendation for more basic full ring LHE content?

Thanks for the fast and long answers
Unfortunately I couldn't answer earlier, sorry.

Concerning the Floppeel with A high vs the green tagged guy: I was just suprised seeing you instafold and not even thinking. But I dont really mind it. I think its probably a bit better than peeling tho.

@CCing :
I struggle with that tpic alot myself, so that's why I'm asking. I just find it hard to balance my range in these spots. But I gues its probably really hard to have a balanced range in that spot...Could you please post the link to teh post of fnupple that made you thinking about CCing? Thanks.

So in that spot your donkingrange would be stronger than your c/ring range?But thats probs not a problem, coz these kind of situations come up so infrequently that you don't have to worry that much about balacing I guess...
Col. Im looking forward to the next installment

I think the series I did with Danzasmack might be what you are looking for, it was mostly at 50c/1 and 1/2 if I remember right.

DD and Danza did Lags on a Leash

I did Peanut Collector and Peanut Protector

PygmyHero did Dude Where's My Mouse

Why fold with A7 vs the big blind? When you check behind the turn, he may bluff the river with T9, QT, Q9, 97. I think b/f turn planning to check the river was a viable option as well.

I don't think he check/calls those hands on the flop. The openenders are fairly normal checkraises on this board texture where a check/call is going to indicate interest just as much as a check/raise - he has hands with reasonable equity but not showdown value - a check/call doesn't make a ton of sense. The gutshots are either checkfolds or check/raises imo - no showdown value and very low equity - checkcalling doesn't seem great either. Once the king comes on the turn I now lose to another class of hands that I was beating - king high peels.

I think I talked about it some during the video as well as far as the ranges.

I don't see a lot of merit in a bet with ace high on this turn - in your mind is it for value? Is it for bluff? Am I calling down a checkraise? It seems like a gross spot to put a lot of action in with ace high.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I see and I think I'm starting to concur. To answer your question, in my mind it was for value, and we would fold to a raise.

I assume if our opponent was loose passive, like ones you find often at 2/4 and 3/6, then a bet for value would be in order on the turn?

Great series by the way.

If a guy were super loose passive like at lower stakes, then yeah, it'd be closer to a bet.

One potential problem with your line of thinking of bet/fold the turn for value is that if he does decide to semibluff me on the turn (say he turns a draw, or decided not to checkraise his flopped draw), and I fold, I could be folding the best hand in a reasonable-sized pot. A general rule of thumb I use, which is oversimplified but still has some merit, is that if you will face a really gross decision on the turn when checkraised, then checking back the turn is worth considering. For example when you are high up in your range or very low in your range it's much easier to respond (continuing and folding, respectively). But when you're sort of in the middle of the range it gets tricky.

Blind battle against K8 guy. We defend A4o in BB. Flop is 346r.

BBB wants to raise, DD to just peel. Obviously good point by DD that it depends on turn barreling frequencies. When I saw the hand, I must say I was in BBB's camp and wanted to raise - what are the arguments for not raising?

- inducing a second barrel in a small pot
- getting in more money good on safe turn cards
- flexibility on bad turn cards
- helps our overall range that would like to peel this board a little more often (since we always have at least overcards)
