Hi Andrew!

What would u do if the turn was offsuit deuce?
Thanks for response.

Great stuff as usual.
Are you taking this fancy line because villain seems quite fishy?I mean,minraising that turn on that board, your value range is very narrow too,so i wouldn't expect a decent player to give u credit(also because of your immage) like never and bluffcatch u on two streets with anything has a decent showdown value.A fishy player,on the contrary,could play quite face up on your min-raise ,allowing u to take easy decision(he is probably going to ship the top of his range on your raise,fold a lot of bluffs and call some draws and weack showdown value hands tha you can bluff of on the river).Is this the sense of your play?

Here on table 2 you 3bet 35s as a bluff. Don't you normally say that high cards are better in 3bet pots due to the smaller stack-pot ratio? I'm curious why you would 3bet a hand like 35s rather than, say, K5s.
what did you end up writing in that business plan, and did you find that it helped your game?

Not sure why you would assume that a loose passive player is more likely to either bluff or value own himself than he is to pay off a bet. Admittedly, we can't get a lot of value with AJ on that board, but I think betting small (1/3 pot or even smaller) is the best course of action

Bet/folding or bet/calling? Don't you have to worry about inducing with that size?
Andrew,
As one of your biggest fans (no homo) who has watched all of your series atleast 3 times each, I was wondering if you were going to do a Blueprint episode. I am extremely interested in knowing how you went from playing 25 and 50 NL for a year and a half to playing high stakes. Was there a ta-da moment of enlightenment where everything just made sense and then you started crushing? I am very curious. Thanks

Don't you get rebluffed quite often here? You're repping quite a narrow value range, and imo your perceived range contains a lot of air, so villain might choose to click it back often with hands that have no bluffcatcher value.

Hi,
Yes, I am doing a blueprint coming out soon.
Andrew
Just a quick FYI-- after discussing with some people, I think the T8s hand is a fold on the river T, but not on a river 8 (or a flush, obv).

potentially, but if I thought that was the case, I could always just raise and then shove. However, I expected him to call with almost everything and fold the rest (which is why I did it). With some more history, though, a raise-ship isn't so bad.
