OK so it sounds like I misplayed this hand. Do you like this turn checkback line shove river as a stone-cold bluff?

The idea behind it is this: It allows me to know whether or not his hand is willing to stack off, because if he is he'd shove into me on the river. Thus when he checks again im confident he wont stack off if *I* shove.

So yeh, I maybe this should be used as a bluff?

I think the main problem with betting the flop here is the fact most pocket pairs wont call, theyll shove. Well at least they *should*. This forces you to fold your equity share of the pot (which is 25%(!)) In reality at 1/2 NL most dont shove this flop with a pocket pair as often (they just call), so betting cant be quite as bad, and is perhaps the best play. At much higher stakes I thinking checking is almost certainly the best play.

yeah, i kind of do like it as a bluff, but i'm kind of crazy also

ok, so you think this play (bet/folding w second pair) applies only in deep stack 4bet pots or also in 100bb games but w/ 3bet pots?

not in 100bb 3bet pots, that'd be pretty bad

FWF you make me wish I played hold'em so you could articulate what I am doing wrong.

The QQ hand i see villains spazz out ALL the time in 3 bet pots OOP when i check behind QQ/JJ on the flop. Do you think this is a different situation because the range is more defined in the 4 bet pots?

Hand 1 with the AKo...What do you think about checking back the turn then making a small river bet? Against a thinking player he might think you checked back the turn for control with a weak to moderate ace. So in turn maybe bluff shove to rep the king with his weak ace type hands.

Also when you bet the flop with QQ in the four bet pot why do u assume u won't get bluffed here? Most times people five bet get in KK AA and AK hoping to get the money in preflop. So if he raises the flop wouldn't his range be more weighted to flush draws and bluffs? That is assuming of course he isn't c/r getting in KQs KJs type hands.

Around roughly six minutes, you say 'a king would check back the turn' but you actually meant 'checks back the flop', I think.

Good video, hope to see more high stakes six max or HU NL videos from you!

yeah, i think opponent's range is narrower in a 4bet pot than a 3bet pot so it's harder for him to spazz out as opposed to having a better hand than ours.

i don't think you ever induce a bluff w/the AK unless he has JQ/TJ (which he almost never does)

i think you have a point w/the QQ hand, but i think that since your equity against a flush draw as compared to against Kx hand isn't that great, the times the opponent does have AK (which sometimes doesn't 5bet cuz some people are nitty) or KQ and figures he'll take it down on a drawy board and not have to make any more decisions (people hate check/calling in big pots) really makes a bet/call pretty ugly. i could be convinced i'm wrong on this though

I assume you're right and I misspoke, don't know the quote in question.

Stay tuned, I think my next vid is going to be my best one yet (I've already got the footage recorded, just have to talk over it)
