i would always give up here on the river vs this guy with the T8 on the right table. Your explanation for 3barrelling seems reasonable give a K or A falls , even then i think hes going to be raising and or calling lots when either of those two cards come.

agree, i don't like firing twice and just checkfolding bricks too often as a default but this seemed like a good situation for it

Great vid guys, prefer the video review over live play.

What do you guys think about limping hands like 55 and 66 on the left table? Seems like a better option than folding.

Yo BBB,

I am glad our play and commentary is SO expert that no one has any questions or comments on any of the hands in the video. We run this.

AQo on left at 6:00.

stoving this now and have stoved this in the past.

When all weak Ax are still in villain's range, I vbet down to AQ. If villain may fold AT/AJ/lowPPs on the river or if he call with any Kx, I would probably bet AJ/AT too.

I b/f flop. We are not getting the price to peel and we have bad RIO. We cannot turn a good str8 draw and have zero fold equity verses this passive villain.

44 on the right at 50:25.

MP ol, we complete sb w 44, bb checks.

Flop Q57rb.

How would you play 54s on this flop? How about 98s?

Q7o on right at 53:00.

We get x/c,x/r by villain on JDiamondJClub7Club,2Club turn.

My default line in this situation, with a paired board and turned third flush card below our pair (esp since our kicker is good), is to blindly call down barring clubs. We beat a lot of worse 'value' hands with a Club kicker.

I think folding Q high would be giving up too much.

Also, you may want to check out this video for a cool way to leave time stamps and comments.

Come on - we all know 54 is the same hand in this spot. Smile

98 I'd lead because even though it's a worse hand in an absolute sense I figure to have decent outs/equity and pick up the pot sometimes on a bluff. With 98 villains can fold better. 44/54 that's really not going to be true very often.

I know what you're saying and I'll admit there is some value in picking up information on a guy who we have none on. That said, we might just get information that we kind of already had (i.e., dude is tight, has a hand here). I just really feel his semi-bluffing range is going to be substantially closer to non-existent than you think it is here.
