Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by BalugaWhale (Mid Stakes)

31:20 AK
baluga, i like your play here post flop for the reasons u gave (and the turn card )but was wondering what you thought about polarizing our range on purpose here vs certain villains by raising the cbet for value vs 88-QQ type hands? because we only rep sets and maybe 2 or 3 flush draws we are likely to be peeled by an observant enough opponent?? When we peel here vs that range we are likely not going to be barreled on a blank turn or get much more value. do u agree?
i have a hand i recently pld that is similar where i get the regs whole stak by polarizing my range on the flop- (3b pot tho)

love to hear your thoughts.

Why as big as 50%+?

we will prob get floated and called with marginal made hands like pp's less if we make a little bigger. and while that means that when we have a value hand we get less value from his floats/marginal hands, the extra value we get from his Ax that we have outkicked prob more than makes up for this. am i wrong here?

i mean that's fine, but you're 6m, btn vs blind, 3bet pot. You can get value from QQ much more easily than I can raising a FR UTG raiser.

i mean, if you think he folds his marginal stuff more when you make it a little bigger, then make it a little bigger. I kinda think he folds either way.

From that showdown, we could see that "event2" is a bluffy fish, potting every street with whatever.

Also we was abusing you from all over the session.

You advise folding everything until we have evidence?

I was inclined to take a stand sonner. Any thoughts? ty

where do you think I should've called?

In the hand you have Jakes and the flop came Axx, I was inclined to call all the way, but I could be wrong, what do you think?

Nice series, learning a lot.

in the A4 hand, what about a c/c flop ?
I guess cbetting here doesn't make him fold any better hand and since we have the backdoor nut flush draw we will be able to call a bunch of turns if he decides to barrel.

i'm inclined to think he had a set and made one of those 'gtfo of here' bets, moreso than any random holding or draw.

Whats your thought process raising turn with At when you turn the wheel?

Hi Baluga!

at the KJhh hand 19:00min. on 935QQ board.
you were thinking about catching a bluff but then you said JT would bet the flop. ok this is true. but this is true for almost any Qx hands no?

what do you think?

After Soi/nit flats you with KQ from SB vs your CO open you talk about how you're going to poo on his plan by basically not bluffing high boards and valuebetting effectively and then his plan of calling with KQ isn't good cos he's not gonna get your bluffmoney. Should he counter it by starting to 3bet KQ for value and bet very thin postflop expecting you to think he's bluffing or has a monster?

yep, most likely.
