Table 4 where you call the 3b

How wide do you call here? This call most be marginal without reads eventho the 3b is small?

I need some feedback from you guys on the format. I'll be prerecording the next session 2. Do you like the longer session at increased speed, or would you rather see a shorter session played back at normal speed?

Yes this is probably the absolute bottom of my range in terms of big card hands. I'll call hands like 64s though.

12min

AQ 3b sb vs btn - cbet Q33 - turn 4 , what do you think about c/c the turn ? unlikely to get 3 streets from weak bluffcatcher and we pick up some bluffs. If the turn brought a bdfd it seems a good spot to go for 3 streets but here villian has to put you on total bluff to call down

Very good video !

I think the format was great - more of these

I think I'll get called twice quite often by mid pairs, and I also give myself the opportunity to shove the river and stack some of his bluffcatchers. I generally have a dishonest aggressive image so the odds of someone herocalling against me are higher. Also if I c/c the turn I'm kinda face up and he won't bluff river often. And he might even bluffshove over a double barrel (though unlikely).

Hi GC.

Table 5 with AT

Do you see any merit on lead river when turn went ck/ck to make him fold low pps? sure he has a lot of air and we beat air already, but he prob cbet low pp on this board and will fold to a river bet. Readless you allways ck ?

I like the idea of a longer session at a faster speed, it obviously lets us see more hands and different spots.

It's HU, low PPs are a much smaller % of his preflop range. There's also a reasonable chance he checks them back on the flop, so all in all I don't think I benefit that much from turning my hand into a bluff.

Could you explain your thought process in this spot? Why QJo or 64s are call for you against polarized range 100bb deep?

Why would he be polarized? He's 3betting OOP. If he was polarized QJo is an easy call as I'm dominated much less often. I call because I get good pot odds and am in position and feel I'll be able to turn a profit. Can you be more specific? If you want general broad postflop theory I suggest you go watch The Thin Red Line episode 1.

Would it be possible for you to include some deep with antes games in future episodes? not sure if you play them but imo they are more interesting. Someone with your poker mind surely would excel in higher thinking games (not sure if you would regard them as higher thinking) and playing deeper is way more fun.

love the series so far btw.

First of all, thanks for the videos..i learn a lot from them. Every thought process is very well explained, I really enjoy it!

Those episodes where you increased the speed ~twice or 3times(max) I had no problem with. But this one, I didn't like the majority of your fastforwarding. Everything was going too fast and then you just stop at hands and then explain them. For me, those hands felt like every other handhistory explained in the forums where sometimes it's hard for me to relate to.

So far I have learned the most, when everything is at normal speed and I was able to put myself in your position. That way I can recognize the whole "gameflow" for myself (If that makes any sense) and understand the whole thought process behind it.

just my 2cents

Yeah, this is generally my issue with post audio commentaries. There was some discussion about this in a previous video, but some people really wanted post video commentary. If I want to really focus on hands, I'd prefer to do a pure HH review video. If I want a video with good feel for the flow, I prefer a true live video. Keep giving some more feedback so I can decide whether the last video will be sped up or normal speed though (but it'll be post production commentary regardless).

If there's demand for it I can have DC put up the original video for this without commentary as well, and I'll just comment on questions people have.

In this A4 3bet pot. I like your thinking of checking back to gain information. At the same token if you're playing with a bunch of regulars, I tend to bet this hand to keep information about our play at a minimum. But in this spot it's more profitable to know the fishes tendencies than to expose the fact that we are 3betting light. If this was early in the session and your 3bets were getting a lot of respect, would you be more inclined to keep that image and bet out his air?
