really hate his line and wish you had called for our education

Try to use the time stamp thingy Joe Tall was referring to.

Anyway, regarding the hand, no I don't agree. This isn't 2007, I'd expect my opponent to bet/call a lot of worse hands on a lot of boards. On the turn, it is definitely not a c/c. My hand is EXTREMELY vulnerable, and I am also very rarely behind. Only if he turned a random 2 pair am I really ever behind, and he can have lots of 9-14 out draws with pair + sd, or fds w/ an over, etc. Obviously he is not folding AA/KK I am not sure why you are mentioning that? I wasn't bluffing I was making a pretty clear value shove.

Im not saying turn is a c/c because your behind. Im saying it because by shoving your only folding worse. So I guess what your saying is that by shoving you care more about him realizing his equity then folding out worse. As played it was definitely the right play, but usually he wont have a monster draw. If you had aa would you be more inclined to c/c since your not worried about an a or k river?

but he's also getting called by a lot of worse hands, Dani already said:

table 4 w/ the QJs - do you think a good reg bets the turn with like AK/AQ?

any merit to betting the turn and river to turn your hand into a bluff, trying to get him off of QQ/KK/Ax if he checked that?

Where are u in Canada ?

really good video, really like the live play. If you feel like you're having trouble talking about hands in the replayer and keeping up with the action on all the tables, you might want to consider dropping down to 3tables+the replayer open like Dr. Giggy does it.

Would be most happy with video formats just like this--live play with conceptual stuff mixed in. Some HU would be cool too if you have the whim.

So lets say we have 10s here same stack sizes,are we barreling off here when K hits Turn? If so why?

Why is that he can't have too many good KX cards in his hand? Because he didn't 4-bet?

I assme you are referring to the ATo hand where I 3b and bet twice? I mean yeah basically you said it, he doesnt float flop with too many Kx and he always 4b AK...

How many club combinations do you think villain open from utg here? Between your holdings and the board, you're blocking a ton of utg opening club combos by the river. If he had AJcc or really any 2clubs, why's he check calling it oop? It seems like a terrible line for villain to be taking with anything he's holding, as a bluff or for value.

What was your thought process on his pf range and each of his actions on each street. None of his actions seem to be balanced so he's trying to achieve some purpose each street or is spazzing out.

if villain doesn't open random or low sc from utg, i can't see him having a flush here.

I dont really disagree with much of what you are saying, but I think it's more likely he has a poorly played flush than a bluff. I think he probably had QT.

I noticed you only 3x 3Bet w/67s can you explain? You were even deep with villian.

Time Link to 00:31:06

Why is this not a good spot to bet with A10s here. Villian 3bets and Checks J45cc isnt he likely Xfolding here?

but he's also getting called by a lot of worse hands, Dani already said:

What worse hands other then draws is he calling with? With the pf action we have to assume draws on that board are a very small part of his range.When he checks back flop he usually has a hand he wants to showdown so hes not willing to bet it off but hes willing to call it off? Say the turn was a brick Dani checks he bets his air and Dani shoves easy fold for him, but by flatting you give him the chance to barrell his air again. I could understand if he said qq is vunerable to ak rivers so I dont want to give him the chance to realize his equity.

obv there's ton's of draws to get value from. 8x as well.

that KQ hand ansky from villains point of view, what do you think of his bet sizing? what would you tend to do with your weaker value hands on the river? Your bluffs? Your stronger value hands? As played im almost liking an overshove for villain, could creditably rep a wider range then the narrow one a small raise on the river does, plus im being tempted to bluff the river there since his hand range is so defined that you make it just such a gross spot for him, which is also i guess another reason why shoving may be a nice play here for him because it takes your moves away.

I noticed you only 3x 3Bet w/67s can you explain? You were even deep with villian.

Probably should have made it bigger.

So lets say we have 10s here same stack sizes,are we barreling off here when K hits Turn? If so why?

Yes, it's just so unlikely he has TT beat.

He also is more likely to be his marginal value hands when the board becomes so draw heavy

Soo, Dani is back! Cool!

Have you seen any major differences since black friday? Are games more aggressive, passive, tricky, tougher, softer without Americans in your opinion ?

Upper right table - did you consider turning your hand into a bluff? although you aren´t repping that much, Villain has a one-pair hand most of the time and your 77 won´t win very often (if at all).

Like you said, I don't think I am repping much, and I doubt I can get him to fold very often.

Time Link to 01:01:31

In the ak hand if the turn isn't a k do you just c/f ? if not what turns do you barrel?

cheers.

shit i fucked up with the time stamp thing its suppose to be 1.31 i think

sorry.

Time Link to 00:30:04

since ur hand is so underrepped cant he have value hands that u beat (at?), figuring he doesn wanna c/f and isnt sure if hell be owned by c/c.
or combos like 79s, 99, 89s as a bluff
u have to figure if he has jj hed c/c and he doesnt rly have sets played in this way so his value range can be only qt or flushes. (not even straights)

also re his pre sizing being on the bigger side. does that weigh his range one way or the other?

None of those assumptions are really reasonable. He just doens't take this line with any worse hand for value. Jamming AT here is basically a bluff.

Preflop sizing shouldnt be relevant vs a regular.

I could be way off here (so jus say if i am and ill be done with it) cuz i dont play these stakes or anything close
but
to me at least it seems crazy to fold.
he bet utg u flatted utg+1 with kk (top of ur range and way underrepped)

he then relinquishes lead on flop and c/c twice.

so to fold realistically he can only have j9 qt or a flush for value that beats u.
qt ud have to give him credit for opening utg to over 3x (so probably can only have qts). then c/c after being pfr (which he would do some percentage of the time forsure but not every time with the 3 combos of qts).
j9, again, hed have to have c/c rather than bet which (to me at least) seems weak and something he forsure wouldnt do every time he has j9 on that flop.
and flushes, again, ud have to give him credit for givin up lead and c/c twice.

so his narrow value range thats ahead of kk is made even more narrow by not playing them in the most standard way possible (or in a way he would 100p of the time)

throwing in even a few random hands that make sense like kqhh or aqhh and with some random bluffs seems like his value range:hands u beat ratio is jus too low to fold.
plus ur hand is somewhere near the top of ur betting-twice-when-checked-to range
