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

Strange hand, I think it's definitely a call.

I think given C/R range you have between 16% and 20% equity in this pot. I am giving his C/R range sets, aces, straights, aq (which can not be dominating flush draw). Additionally, I think most of his C/R range check/calls spade rivers. So, lets say we have 18% equity and 80% of the time we get there he calls a 3/4 pot sized bet ($104). Is a call on the turn profitable? EV(Call Turn) = .82*(-38) + .18*.20*120 + .18*.80*224=+5.4. Therefore, I do think this would be a profitable turn call. I would be interested to hear what you guys think about my assumptions for the EV calculation. Also, let me know if I did my math wrong here.

Don't like pre w T9o. Like you said better to do it with suited cards. What do think of throwing away normal betsizing and cbet close to pot and shoving turn your entire range you continue with ? Spot where I like to have two street game only. Cause it is sqzed and bloated pre. Rep AA-JJ all day every day. Alot of the time I would have them and when I didn't I would have alot of FE.

No call with JTss IP ? You get to play perfectly river. Stack him when spade hits. Fold when he shoves. Shove when he checks to you and pick up the pot 100% of the time. Almost direct odds to call ( well not really pot gives you 3 to1 = 25% equity needed ).

Nice video Dani.

Bottom left, with Kings, is that a no brainer value bet for you on the river?

Also it looks like he looked you up pretty light there, but you didn`t check the replayer.

If the situations were reversed, and you were in his spot with something like J10s, would you be inclined to bluff jam that river, considering the line (you took) he takes?

I assume calling there would not be an option for you?

AK on table 2.

You squeeze OOP from $6 to $23. You're 175bb deep with both guys.

Is this a standard bet size? Would you size differently with a hand like K9s, or with AA? And what would you size to if you were IP on the BTN? (MP opens $6, CO flats)

2nd question:
http://www.deucescracked.com/videos/17361-Episode-Two?seek=2410

You 4bet AA from $6 to $18 to $40 OOP, about 140bb deep. Again, do you 4bet bluff bigger here? Do you 4bet bigger for value with a more vulnerable hand like QQ here?

I feel like I usually make it $42-48 with most hands, with just 100bb stacks. Do you think this is too large a bet size?

Why aren't we valuebetting KJ on the AKQxx board after 3 checks from the IR on the top left?

Time Link to 00:33:01

Could this be a good spot for cr for value with AJ on J55 ?

Time Link to 00:05:06

why bet so much on table 4? its a really dry board so would half pot or a little over not suffice?

Time Link to 00:17:19

Why do you 3bet A7s on 2nd table? Isnt that like a perfect hand to play IP and flat against his wider range from CO? You mentoned that he is kinda passive and I guess this makes you wanna 3bet this hand?

I pretty much never 3bet Axs hands in any position and always flat them or fold. Pretty much the same with SC.

With the 9To on btm right table.
I would be inclined to bet turn and bet allot of rivers since he checkd back the Kxx board.
What do you think about this ?

Time Link to 00:05:48

Your thinking he folds his 66,88,99,TT on that turn right ? then if the rvr was not a 4 what cards would you tripple barrel and why ?

Not bad, It's probably a good calculation. I should have called.

Whatever it is it obviously needs to be consistent. I'd say your sizing is fine, slightly smaller when you are slightly shwllower.

Hey Ansky,

Just finish the first two episodes of Zoom Poker. Loving it as I am a reg in 200NL zoom myself. I have a question about your play vs 3-bets. In your first video you called A9ss OOP vs a 3-bet vs an aggressive opponent. Standard play IMO, as you will get 5-bet shove a decent amount and cant call if you 4-bet.

Then in this video you 4-bet AA OOP saying some % of the time you will call some % you will 4-bet. My question is how do you balance there? Against an aggressive opponent I dont want to be folding KQ, ATss type hands but I cant 4-bet call it off neither. So the only option left is calling. However, at the same time I want to get in my monsters because they will get it in light.

I am talking about opponents that have 8-10% 3-bet or more (in a particular position) and fold to 4-bet <40% of the time. I was thinking about getting it in with my monsters 100% of the time and calling a lot but am torn between the issue of balance since I wont have monsters in my range when I do call. It make it easier for villain to barrel me. At the same time it is just insane not to 4-bet AA when he folds <40%. What are your thoughts?
