Grindcore works on building reads and taking notes and how we can do this to affect our Red Line outcome.
DeucesCracked welcomes fan favorite and new instructor Grindcore to the fold with this original video series about that thin, red line – nonshowdown winnings. This winter Bart will take a look at some common misconceptions about the red line and discuss the ins and outs of how small stakes 6max players can pick up previously unreachable profit.

I'd like to clarify the T6s hand ~15 mins in a bit more. I went for a checkraise on the turn but I should have bet. In BvB a checkraise is good because you get him to bluff all his floats and valuebet non K hands that'll fold to the raise. But here I isolated a limper, which makes both our ranges tighter. He'll have less floats now, so by checking I get less bluffs, and he's also less likely to value/protectionbet 2nd pair type hands, so I get more checks by hands that I might be able to bluff out, and his bettingrange is mostly Kx which will call my checkraise anyway. If he bet, I shouldn't even CRAI, I should c/c hoping to hit the river.
Love this video. Im getting better at taking notes on others. I also use the client side notes to keep track of how "I" played vrs villian, Like if I over bet shoved river with the nuts or a wierd line I may have took. Basically HEM for them client for me.. I used to do it the other way around, but found that I had no notes when I did a hand review in HEM.
One thing I have been trying to do, is to get HEM support to make the note Icon bigger/resizeable so its easier to see.

I don't think he's valubetting worse here so that only leaves a float oop for hands that we beat imo. He either slowplayed a Q, has something like TT, or hit a set on the turn or river imo.
Actually, just realized it was 3-way. I take out floats for that reason and think this is a fold 100% of the time (barring some specific read).
In reply to the quiz at the end.
The full board is 2d6s7s2c3d
Now if our notes are correct and accurate.
We know he folds air to a 2nd barrel.. he doesn't fold so he doesn't have air
We know snap actions are weak and he snaps all 3 so he's weak
Given he would raise TP on the flop, I would also assume he would raise an over pair in this case 88+, so we can remove all that from his range
and he tanks when he improves, since he never tanked he never improved.
I place his range at 44,55, or 6x which makes me wanna call with 7x,88+ maybe even higher 6x's like maybe as low as J6

You say that BT can't have a strong hand because he limped with a fish in the BB. Because of that, you are saying he can't have any broadway type hands in his range? I see what you are saying, but I wouldn't mind a bit more discussion on this. Are you basically giving him a range of small suited connectors only?
Great stuff Grindcore. Could you leave the name of the program that changes the note icons in HEM please?

Yes. Or atleast half his range will be hands like that. Similarly when you see a reg limping behind a fish, it's always a hand like that. The only way he hit the flop is with 97s or 22 there, I'm expecting like 80% folds to the underbet.
ah, lookie lookie what I found under the tree!
Thanks Grindcore, happy holidays!

That's what I figured, but I just wanted to make sure.
Regarding the HH at the end:
We know he's weak, we know he doesn't have air (what he defines as air we don't know however), we don't know whether he raises straightdraws on the flop aswell like his FDs.
All in all calling here with a rather wide bluffcatching range should be profitable.
I prefer check/shoving though...

Hey GC, table 2, w AKo, you kept about the same 3 bet size 150 bbs deep. Just curious if you had a specific reason, or 150bbs is not yet a tipping point...
Thanks, and keep up the nice work.
