Yeah, this was my fault, I've typically recorded these types of videos with an external monitor, but since I was on a laptop I didn't consider the resizing issues beforehand... my bad, I think the content is very good though, and this won't happen again.

PS I'm really sick right now so sorry for the sniffling

To FWF: am curious to your reads on ummmmmm - I mentioned how I thought a bunch of your lines vs him were most likely contingent on him being very tight/afraid of you, am wondering if that's true or he was an unknown?



my reads on ummmm (i think it's actually ooooh but blurred out) were basically that i remember running some big bluffs on him that didn't work out the last time we played against each other many months ago and that he probably thought i was a bit crazy. he had pretty laggy #s so i thought that he'd be willing to play back a lot but at the same time be cautious oop against me b/c he knows i'm crazy.

Just a thought, jay or ariel doesn't have the original video file? You could rip the sound of jays vid and synch to it?


When someone pauses a lot during the replay of a video, resync isn't very easy -- that said, that's exactly what I'll be looking into tomorrow, but I need to be on a better computer (today is technically my "day off" -- I'm not very good at taking those) before I can produce it. Given the # of pauses in the vid, it's going to take a lot of work so I'd probably say there's a 20-25% chance of being able to do it, but we'll do our best regardless. Smile

I hope this still gets read now that ep6 got released. I have a question:

In the KJo 5b jam hand at the start (BU open SB 3b BB 4b BU jam), isn't this a thing you do so infrequent that you might aswell wait untill you have a better hand for it?

I imagine Ax suited, or even just Ax being a better hand for this play because you have more equity when called (A blocker so more kings in villains range as opposed to K blocker so more AA in villains range, and suited gives some extra equity aswell). I realize you don't get into these cold 4b facing situations all the time, but at high stakes they should arise frequent enough to pick your hands, right? So instead of going for immediate vacuum EV, you can optimize your range for the long term. I also realize you probably did it for the video just to so it could be talked about, but if you were playing on your own with nobody watching, would you also have jammed KJo or would you have folded and done it with a better 5b bluffing hand (ie, Ax suited)?

Thanks for any answer by anyone to this.

I think given how reraise happy tcblade was on the other table before I started filming that it's massively profitable to shove there with just about any hand that has halfway decent equity vs TT+, AQ+. Yes, Axs would be better but I didn't have Ax, I had KJ and it was still a good play. I don't really believe in "waiting for a better spot" if the one I'm in is profitable: it's not like there are going to be a lot of cold-5bet jam opportunities and jamming in the first one ruins my ability to do anything in the future.

I don't understand the AJ fold on the river...villain bets strong but can't he have Ax?
