Hu buffalo plz!!
Not into HU but whatever as long as you guys do another series even half as good as this it will be epic.
You said the same thing in the vid but thats just wrong, any 2 overcards to ur 55 has at least 40% equity and you're just 50/50 against any gutshot, you never have 70% equity. Calling a small pair 3-ways oop here is definitely a loosing play against anybody decent.
yea 70% might be slightly too big, i got around 65% messing around in pokerstove with different pairs/textures. the word "decent" is quite vague. there are def some players and board textures where I would advise calling, but as a general rule if you always folded, I'm sure if wouldn't cost you much money.
A heads-up version of this would definitely be appreciated! 5 anticipatory stars! Headsuffalooo!
on J99Tx
For villian - what tendencies for you wilt - where it would be correct for him to check-back AJ?
If you are only bluff catching better hands and turning made hands into a bluff at a balanced fashion - wouldnt checking back AJ be better?
Bump for Aaron.....

I think that calling oop with a small pair on a paired board 3-ways is almost always going to be pretty bad, it's not a HU situation where opponent opens 100% of BTNs. For example here on JJ9 if you give the CO a 30% opening range and even if he c-bets 100% (prolly not true as he should give up some of his air) you're about a 40-60 dog right away and its pretty obvious that any bet going in on further street is not to our advantage.
But well, you both agreed that a small pair here should mostly be folded, I just wanted to say that in my opinion its not a close spot at all and that c/calling here is a pretty big leak.
I mean sure if it's HU youre going to call here every time. But the guy opened from the CO and bet into 2 people,its a completely different situation, he just never have K2o or 64o and all those random hands you have good equity against.
Really enjoyed the series guys. Hopefully with enough study it will help me one day to make the move from "OK REG" to "SOLID REG." ![]()

Certainly could be, I'd neeed a good bit of history with a guy (as villain) to know that my opponent would play better than me (with his range) oop on the river when I value bet TPTK. It's not to say that can't happen, it's just more a rarity. I do agree with you though that AJ is definitely toward the bottom (and maybe exactly the bottom) of our value range here against most competent opposition without extra dynamic/history. If you guys have been aggro toward each other then QJ could be a value bet since the oop player should have a fair amount of Tx and potentially underpairs in his range. Without those extra "what ifs" though, AJ would be very close to the bottom of the CO's value range here, so if you want to check that behind because you're afraid of the other guy outplaying you (either by folding too correctly or bluff raising too optimally) then I'm not going to complain too much if you want to check it behind.
Keep in mind it's one of those spots where yes, i can have trips+ there and be calling down but we have to discount combos on each street that doesn't get raised, whereas a hand like KJo probably has every single combo in it etc.
Hope that makes sense.
Driving to north carolina for 14 hours so i probably wont be back in this thread for a day or 2
On the J99TX river, would a small donk bet of about 35-40% pot on the river have some merit? It could get thin value from hands which he may not fire the river with ie AA-QQ,Jx, Tx (maybe). Also his medium strength hands may feel they need to raise vs such a small bet to get more value (with say kq, q8) and possibly commit themselves to a shove. It also leaves the door open for villain to bluff raise.
I can see the donk bet losing some value vs hands like A-Q9,98,97 but otherwise it seems like a plausible option.
Great series, would very much like a HU version
