great series, 5 stars imo

around 12 mins in you flat 43s CO v MP and float the K53dd flop to raise the 8d turn

what would you have done if the turn had been an offsuit 8 instead? would a flush turn be the only card you'd bluff raise? would you follow through on a blank river card? are there turn cards you'd consider double floating on?

also: you're obviously going to flop either something very weak or nothing at all the majority of the time when you flat with these marginal hands pre flop, so you need to anticipate making moves post flop a lot

do you have a plan for certain flops? does that plan change a lot on a certain player's tendencies?

how would you adjust to a player with a wide opening range who barrels a reasonable amount? specifically on dry flops, like a Q73r

would you look to float a ton on these dry flops to get aggressive on later streets? would you fold a lot on the flop and call him down light with your medium strength and better hands? would you flat less often pre with your speculative hands and 3bet him more often?

This is one of the best video's I've ever seen.

If he barrels us on blanks, most of the time I think we're just giving up. I might float again on a 2 or 6 since then we'd have an oesd and our implied odds are pretty good (4's aren't much in our range, and if the river completed our straight but without a flush he's very likely to put us on a missed flush draw bluffing the scare card and call down light) Having the K on the flop is kinda good for us in that we're not going to get 2barrel bluffed as often, and he's also going to give up more of his middle pairs at some point.

When I call in position with a hand like 43s, I rarely do so with thoughts in my head of "I'm gonna bluffraise the flop!" or "I'm gonna float any flop and raise the turn" or something like that, but instead I see the flop and see what he does and decide if its a good spot for me to try and take the pot, and if so, whats the best line for me to take. If I do call preflop with that kind of hand, I do so because I expect to find myself in many good situations, based on my opponent and the overall scenario I'm in.

Against a player with a wide opening range who barrels a lot, I'm obviously calling down lighter and bluffraising more turns, but I also may choose a preflop hand range that connects with more flops. i.e. playing more middle suited gappers and fewer low suited connectors, etc. 3betting more pre is a good option if he folds a lot and doesnt 4bet too much.

villain in your hand didn't bet over 1.5x the pot in the river. no dice. nice try though.

doesnt matter its an overbet!

I think he checked turn to induce you to stab on the river. This isnt a scary board from his perspective until the river and even on the river its hard to put you on anything that beats him. On the turn he puts you on air or maybe a bad draw. 8 10 or 5 8 gutter with a back door flush draw. He probably knows you arent checking turn with a queen or better. You may only check the turn with 99 or 77 but you having one of the few hands that beats him is too unlikely. If im in his spot I am trying to get money in this pot. He crushed that flop heads up in position against a preflop raiser. I do like a value raise by u on the river with the intention of folding to a shove. Also, I like the two of u together multiple insights.

I think this raise is awesome. I am wondering as villain with KQ AK this barrell is spew?

No I don't think its spewy to barrel here with AK or KQ, unless you're up against a very talented opponent with a good bluffing frequency who won't make mistakes. However, checking with those hands is also certainly a reasonable plan. Depending on your opponents, they may make more mistakes that way (for instance, the kind of opponents who will just fold to a bet if they have 66 but will turn it into a bluff and maybe even fire the river too if you check to them and call)

Are the 50$ free for raising over an overbet on a 5straight still available. Does it need to be 150% exactly or is it ok if it is more? What are the exact criteries please?

Huh I dunno, its been a long while. I'm not sure if anyone won that. Probably safe to assume its no longer available though, sorry.

At least you probably won some extra money because you watched this vid!

In this hand, you suggest that villain would be insane to come over the top here with the naked A of diamonds. However, in the previous hand, you discussed that it might be a good idea to 3-bet jam the A of spades if a spade turned. Can you please illustrate the differences in these two hands for me?

I do realize that this video was made sometime around 1940 and has been long forgotten, and I greatly appreciate anybody who can take the time to help me out here.
