5betting here would have to be pretty bad given your read of Sandahfs and the fact Rafa is unknown to you, right? Rafa's range for flatting the 4bet with you still to act behind him is presumably very strong (JJ+, AK) and should definitely include KK/AA.

It doesn't appear that there is any dead money to collect and since you're behind both their ranges I actually like a nitty fold preflop.

ya.

Andrew

why as small as like 40% pot?

Interesting spot. Couple of questions:

1) What's the weakest hand you'd ship for value here?

2) How thinly do you think villain can bluffcatch against you?

On the JJ hand on the BTN vs Nazgul's 4bet from MP: What do you think about flatting here, and what are the relevant differences between flatting the 4bet with JJ compared to AK? (I think your line is the standard one, I'm just curious given the way you have advocated playing AK vs a 4bet in previous videos)

In this kind of spot, the widest range villain typically has for 4bet/calling is TT+, AQ+ and we're a slight dog vs that range. Villains aren't playing all pairs this way - 22-77 is usually going to fold or jam, so vs this 4bet we are facing bluffs and a value range that we are slightly behind.

thanks for all of your efforts in 2010 - cross fingers for as a productive 2011 and a huge upswing

cheers

what do you think sandahlfs range for check/calling flop and turn and check/folding river on that board is?

would you fold a set if you were in sandahlf's spot?

why as small as like 40% pot?

Why as big as 50%+?

I'd ship sets, possibly top two, possibly aces (but that might bet pretty thin).

Andrew

id be concerned ab out flatting AA/KK that deep just because I"m behind and am likely to play perfectly against him (a dangerous proposition. And ya, I'd ship the turn, just because my opponnet never bluffs a later street, could suckout, and also can call with worse hands. You could make an argument for waiting, though.

Andrew

Not sure what u meant by u would ship the turn.so u wouldnt check fold qq jj there if u were to cold 4bet em?what would rafas range be here then?if he were to 5bet shouldnt we fold jj pre? maybe qq?

When we bink the K on the turn vs this weak passive player and you jam for about a pot sized bet, why not bet smaller if we are getting the money in anyways? Not really any bad cards for us on the river (occasionally an 8 or a Q or maybe an Ace to kill action) So if we bet 1/2 pot again we can widen his calling range and take him on a slow train to value town?

again, a decent option. i suppose i wasn't sure what was the bluffiest, so I shipped. haha when in doubt, ship, seems like it might be my life plan.
