My thoughts were actually the opposite here. What do you think about betting small trying to represent thin value with a 4 or a thin bluff with Qx and trying to induce a raise?

Hey Dani,

Table 1 here you 3-bet the 55 vs. the button, I know your logic and why you are doing it, you've covered it a dozen times. My question is this, are you ever 3-bet folding it vs. a tight 4-bettor, would you just outright fold it pre-flop if you didn't think the 5-bet jam would be profitable? I play micro stakes so I don't run into a lot of guys with a high 4 bet frequency.

-Thanks.

Small pp's play really bad in 3bet pots, so there would be no point in 3-betting it vs. a tight 4-bettor. Although, calling would be better than folding pf imo.

Hey Dani,

Table 1, you flat the cutoff open with KQs. In a previous video you were in a similar situation except you had KQo and you 3-bet the cutoff. My MO with KQo in that situation is to still flat unless I think the co opener is fishy and will call with worse a large % of the time. Are you operating off that logic I just described, or is there a different reason you like 3-betting the KQo btn vs. co? I understand 3-betting KQo vs. UTG, or UTG +1 because you are basically bluffing with blockers, but vs. the co open that is wide enough to flat why are you 3-betting the KQo?

-Thank You.

WIth the Q9 hand I know that you know you can bet this size as a bluff but do you think people in general will put bluffs in your range?

when u replay a hand, can u do it after the session? its quite annoying to listen and see u drag it all of over the other tables, and then talking like 5sek, play another hand get back to the old hand for 5sek again etc, great video otherwise and always good talking

I agree with this. I think it'd be a more effective use of your time to do this at the end when you can go through it all at once.

It's a good idea in a 4-tabling video where you end up with some dead spots in the action, but given that you're playing mid stakes against tough players on 6-tables there's not a lot of times when you have nothing to talk about.

Table 5 w/ ATs, are you donking the flop on purpose or did you think you were cbetting? If you were donking on purpose could you tell why thats good spot to donk and are you planning on barreling much?

Agree, this is a good suggestion.

I'd expect him to sometimes think so, especially because he probably expects me to think he'd sometimes raise a q on the flop.

I'd almost always prefer to 3b/fold than to just fold the first time with 55. I think I'd be playing unreasonably tight if I couldn't 3b 55 there.

Which rivercards would you call a jam on with K5? Do you expect villain to give up frequently in that spot (on something like a 2h)?
I personally don't see villain checking many rivers with a bluff (maybe on another king), so I'd be very reluctant to fold after calling turn. An ace is not a bad card either (as opposed to 3,5,6,8 or a club).
Combinatorically it's a tough fold as well, I would'nt expect Villain to always call 86s preflop, he's almost definitely folding 63s to a 3x open. We can also discount sets and straights to some extent because of his flop play and he only needs 5 combos of bluffing hands anyways. I'm not saying I hate your fold on the river, but if your assumptions about Villain are correct, it might be better to fold the turn.
