Table 4 - Just to be clear, your plan was to call if villain shoved, correct?

Yes. I don't think I would ever 3bet a pair vs a shortstack if I wasn't calling a shove.

I really liked the video. Probably the best I've seen in a while on here.

Worst hero call ever? lol

Hard to say. From what I'd seen I thought it was very unlikely to be a bluff, but perhaps he's played vs him more or just somehow came to a different conclusion logically. But I think it's probably a mistake on his part.

not that i play alot of 6 max at all but im enjoying watching your vids...the K-Qhh hand do you think the EV of c/r the flop is better than the EV of calling with the intention of betting the river if the turn checks through both as a bluff when u miss and for thin value when you make a pair or pure value when you make your straight or flush?

was just thinking that your value range for c/r that flop is kinda narrow (A-10,3-3) and also there might be a decent chance of villain playing straight fowardly on the A high board and not barreling letting you kinda delayed steal the pot on the river?

I might sometimes play this spot differently vs a full stacked reg. The fact that he's only got 50bbs makes me want to just fastplay more often. There's actually a spot in the next video where I don't CR a similar spot for some of the reasons you have presented. In this one, I think some rando 50bb TAG is almost always going to bet that flop with most of his range. We're in a pretty gross spot vs his remaining stack if he does decide to cbet the turn.

the J-J hand on the Q-Q-7-7-X board...villain bets 3 streets you call 2 and fold the river.

Do you think there would be any merit in villain checking Q-x on the river? i was just thinking if he did check the river and hero checked back J-J and lost to A-A or K-K that kinda sucks for hero, so some % of the time hero will be jamming worse as a bluff or value betting a 7...granted hero doesnt have much 7-x here and he doesnt have aton of hands other than A high / 8-8 >J-J maybe...but he just cant really call with worse like u say.

just wondered what your thoughts are regarding that?

Ahh good point, hadnt noticed the stack size of that guy...yea that makes sense..thanx.

I think if the PFR is going to check at any point it should be the turn. He has plenty of give-up hands in his range for doing that. When he actually bets the turn, which he shouldn't do with much air/draws, then BTN should be very suspicious if he doesn't bet the river. I think BTN can have plenty of 7x and Qx, that's not really an issue.

yea i get ya..thanx

never folding KJo sb vs btn. thats so bad imo.

Btm right 88, would it be weak to just c/f the flop there ?
I feel with no heart on that board its gonna get really hard to get to showdown if hes a bit barreling.
First no hearts need to come, second when its a T+ turn card and he bets then when you c/c he prob sill has allot of equity.

Whats your plan here for the hand c/c flop c/f bad turns ? I might be inclined to c/f flop when hes aggressive but i think thats weak...

Top left 99, could you tell me a bit more why the turn is still a bet.
What do you think is his range, are you not afraid you valuetown your self too much when he has Tx+ ?
Ah i guess hes a fish so then he also has some 56,34 random KQ stuff etc i see.
How would this be different if it was some std regular ?

Top left KQs, Interesting vs the half stack.
What do you think about donkbetting this flop ?
Your too shallow to go for c/r i agree i think that would be a option when 100bb deep. But i think when you donk obv there allot of good turns you can barrel on, clubs T, K,Q. Yea hes tight but you have a small sample and hes in the CO so hes gonna miss that board allot too J74r or at least has a weak underpair that will fold flop or turn when you barrel.
