I love going ahead and bluffing this river, I think he has 33 and is folding always

I've seen BBB open some strange hands UTG in this video series and in various FR games that we've played. ATs was big enough that I wouldn't mind seeing a flop in postion and taking the initiative away from him. Plus it's big enough that I can keep the pot small if an ace flops and I can blow the pot up if I hit a strong draw. On the flop I just called because of sb taking 2.5 to the chin and then checking the flop. SB's hand range is so wide that I figured the pot was big enough and I'd try to keep him around. Once he's gone it's simply calling down IP with a draw and then calling WA/WB on the river vs BBB's range.

No time for a couple of days, but what's the deal with the 1 star rating?

Haha, one was me when I miss clicked it. Guess I should re-rate it a 4 or something neutral.

BBB,

To open, I just want to say much respect for the great analysis.

Q4s at 6:30
30/8/40hands open limps, SB comes along, we check our BB.
Flop comes K35rb with one spade, giving us a bdFD and bdSD.

imo, this is like the best board/time to bet out (or c/r) ever. The 30/8 knows how to raise the top of his range and limps too many other hands that can't call in this small pot. We are getting 3:1 on a bluff and can fold right away if raised. If called, we can turn a lot of decent cards and can play accordingly.

just me.

AQs in bottom left at 8:00.

I check this turn for a lot of reasons I have stated lately in the forums, however, a few major things come to mind looking at this hand.

The BB calls our UTG open, HU to the flop. This should be a decent range, not ATC.

BB calls the J65 rb flop and turn brings a 3. From your comments, you seem to think better is never folding. I agree. This makes our bet completely for value.

Do we really have a value bet? I think that there are relatively few draws on board. We have the nut FD (killing a lot of villain's outs), position, no FE verse a better hand, and great SD equity verse random junk that called the flop.

thoughts.

AQo top left 28:00.

Awesome analysis up to the river. I agree with everything you said and bet the turn for value as well with tons of draws present, no flop raise, etc. I would b/call down a lot of river too.

On the river, I see zero reason to ever bet here. Check and decide, imo. Pot is big, villain has suited broadways in his range (key here imo) that may bluff, both FD missed. This is also not a good board for AK-high to bet for value. (I think NerdKing is good enough to NOT raise the turn verses your board reading abilities with some of these hands that may desperation bluff on the river, especially on the T.)

edit: you would cap the flop for value in his position with ATs here?

99 bottom right at 42:00, great turn bet.

This is a really interesting multiway bluffing spot for villain that I have been considering a lot lately, and we can't check. This makes the bluff really interesting in a protected pot on this board.

just me.

What hands might you check on this turn?

JJ top left at 48:30.

I like the river c/f. He should really have raised any FD on the flop, imo.

Q-high and 9x are checking back the river when you check, imo. He has a A or K overwhelmingly here.

T8o in BB top left at 55:00, TAG in late position iso's a limper, you call in BB. Just as an example, this is a spot I would go ahead and 3-bet a lot instead of calling.

just throwing it out there.

gg, 5 stars imo.

post-count boosting... complete.

ciao

the video is kinda grainy. I think this might be because you accidentally resized it during processing. The video should remain 100% of its original size. I'm fairly certain there's a deuces cracked coach somewhere whose a video expert. He'd definitely know exactly why.

Funny story, when I started watching this video i sent an im to my friend asking why everyone is minraising preflop at full ring. Yeah, its limit.

god damn it. I tried to explain entropy. Its so hard you have no idea. Entropy is basically related to how much internal heat energy any thing has available. However, internal energy doesnt exactly equate to entropy. So yeah, wrong word, and just incredibly hard to describe. I tried to explain it in greater detail but kept wondering if what I wrote was precisely "correct".

I hate thermodynamics.
