Note: I write this at this point of watching, so i genuinely have no idea of the outcome of this hand;

If you have AA with Ac and you flat this spot and the turn is like 8c, 9c, Tc and he ships turn or bets big with some of the blockers to big combo draws (even perhaps Qc or Kc comes) which then skews his range away from those sorts of draws (couldn't have flatted KQs or KTs pre etc) would you be more likely to fold than a 2c or 3c turn?
Or are you always just calling with Ac on any club turn due to 7 outs vs. flush, 9 outs vs. set, and strong v some random bluffs and overplayed value Jx with odds vs. range?

When he 4-bets small here to 18888 is he always pot commited? Its like 30% of his stack and so he is never folding(unles he is bad) so really the only purpose for 4-betting small is to induce a worse hand to 5- bet shove right?I mean his 4-bet shove range has to be a lot wider than this 4-bet to 18888 range.Do u ever wait for a better spot here ? i mean he never 4 bets small here with an underpair so u never really have better than a flip for more than half your stack.

nice content as always,
last episode u mentioned u say obviously too much, i counted about 32 times this episode

what do you consider a "very strong hand" to raise flop here with (you sayin you dont wanna raise aj, but worse hands or very strong hands) - jq? kq? aq? worse than that or better?
what are the facts you consider for decision between raising or calling down expecting to be barreled?
are you more likely to raise say aq otf here with a fd on board (because he can put you on fd and get in/continue worse made hands or get a fd in by hisself) or without a fd (because he will prolly go with even worse hands because he cant put you on a fd)

so you say 8x (and than obv kx) as our hand should choose that smaller betsize to get value from all his pp and some A high. what other hands do you vbet this size? i imagine something down to tt?
also do you ever bluff vs this kind of player?

i dont get why jamming is better than 3 betting flop small. i personally 3bet flop here 100% of the time and expect to stack anything that is doing that for value obviously and see some fun shoves from 9ts or whatever he decides to cr bluff and folds to a jam
what im asking is why a shove is the better betsize than a small 3bet with your whole range you wanna get in

earlier in the vid you say you can play vs fish like in a vacuum. with same thought i go for betsize of 20 or 21 in this spot and you do 14. i wonder if mine is bad and whats your reasoning behind this betsizing
i have 12 tables but monotone board vs fish is like "autopilot" 2 streets but with that close to pot betsize. i wonder if im missing something or doing wrong in my thinking about sizing here

very good video

I liked the tournament hand explanations. I was never aware that, when faced with an open raise and a middling stack size, we should be mixing between jamming and 3-betting small over just always 3-betting small. Am I right in concluding that in using this strategy, when we 3-bet small, we are either betting to induce or betting to fold? If so, I can easily imagine the types of hands we would use to induce with, but which hands would you choose to 3-bet fold, say, in the above AJo situation with a 20BB stack?

blind vs blind im not really ever finding a way to fold aa here.

dont think so you see all sorts of ridiculous 4b folds in tournaments. I did consider folding but decided he'd sometimes fold.

Id start around AQ, and yes of course always be more likely to raise AQ on the flop if theres a fd. Not just because he might put you on a fd, but because he himself might have one and jam.

Prob wouldn't bluff. Would bet VERY small with something like TT if I decided to bet...

I don't have a huge thing to say about it, but in general I think you should bet smaller in position.
