you don't have to lose a $140k+ pot to prove your point, we believe you.

I'm Dun Dan, FWF, I was def shoving the 79 for value, I thought he would call it off with worse occasionally (I hadn't seen how he played marginal hands in 3bet pots yet though), especially draws. You said you would just call and let him bluff, I just figured there were so many bad cards for my hand, that he occasionally bet/calls a worse made hand and he has so many draws which will get it in. Also, if he's only betting the river with his draws that hit (reasonable since he's seen me call down a decent amount and its less than a half pot size bet bluff) and yet I'm planning on calling any river (right?) - he plays perfectly against my range. You say you think that altough a turn shove is +EV, we aren't doing great against his calling range and we lose value against his bluffs right? So are we just calling turn planning on calling pretty much any river?

I realized after the session that a float against this type of player, on a floaty board and with a lot of "scare cards" he could barrel, was a bad play

I just don't think this guy's giving up on the pot based on how you described him. Obviously if he only jams his draws that hit it's bad to call down, but I can't see that being the case. And yeah, tons of rivers suck, but call him on any river and it's almost definitely going to be +EV.

If there's one thing I've learned on DeucesCracked it's the "call any river".

I think its a good thing. Wink

great video , i hope you dont give up making them when you start working. And winning sick money from poker god knows why you wanna work.

My question is about the last hand where the hero bluffs repping the A10. If were the villian is it not right to call in the long run knowing we have the rest of his range crushed its just this one hand that has us?

well, as i said in the vid, i think that when a bluff is almost impossible for acidca to have (really, all he's hoping for is a Q that played itself this way the 1 in 50 times it plays this way or whatever, an ace turned into a bluff, or a flush draw that doesn't really call the turn often), if he has just one hand that beats you but he's got it way more often given his line than he has other hands, it's still a fold

TY.. About this situation on the river in genral terms not this hand but say were in a hand on the river, if we feel that only one hand beats us we have the range beat do you think its right to call even tho the hero is repping that hand that beats us?

2nd hand where hero calls with QJo from the BTN, you keep referring to villain opening from "early position". The hand is actually played 4-handed, I'd say even a pretty nitty 5/10 reg still has a wide CO open range, making calling just fine IMO.

hmm, didn't notice that. sorry, you're definitely right on that. with those unconverted HHs sometimes these things slip by me.

On the 97 hand, if we call there's 300$ left w a pot of 700$ doesn't that mean that his bluffing frequency on the river will be lower than with a bigger amount left?? So we cannot call that often since he will not bluff that much??

On 97s hand, isn't a spot where we can shove even if we don't expect called by worse to protecting our hand and avoiding making mistake on the river ?
The previous episode you advocate CRAI the turn with 67s on 7234 for thoses reasons, these two spots aren't similar ?
