Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by Soepgroente (High Stakes)

Didn't even have time to watch this yet, but I just want to say that the idea for this video is spot on, we def. need more of these and it was nice to see this and ceegee's razz vid (yay!!) on the new vids list today

Thoughts on squeezing 77 on table 2 here? CO is likely opening a wide range and ceegee can't ever be that strong. We wouldn't necessarily mind taking down the pot immediately, and getting it HU is nice too. The only problem I see is if we get 4b, then we have to fold and we have sorta wasted 77's value. Thoughts?

In the PLO rounds are people really so terrible that you can call OOP with QJT4/JJ52 hands? Seems far too loose.

Being 48% vs a 30% range our hand doesn't seem to have awesome raw equity yet it has awesome playability. Do you think it could be more profitable to call and play flops as even though we're OOP we have a super smooth hand + skill advantage?

I'm just learning O8, but with the low and flush draws on this board, I wouldn't be surprised if a bare QQ is a fold on the flop here. You have no chance at half the pot when the low comes in, and a pair of QQ isn't super strong for the hi. I'd ask Chuck about this one.

Do you expect him to bet just a low hand here? I would expect him to check/call, which means when he bets he likely has the low and a decent high.

I think 77 is probably one of the worst hands we can squeeze here, I'd rather squeeze A2o or a hand that can ship over a 4bet like TT+/AJ or AQ+. Like you say, 77 getting 4bet I'd want to ship over it once we get there but I think that's not strong enough so I just call.

Makes sense. Ty

This is a fantastic vid. Would love to see a series in exactly this format, perhaps with ceegee/JT to discuss some of the stud spots.

Well, this is true, but I kinda wanna flip too so we're twice as deep. Also from all the crap he plays I'm pretty sure we can comfortably 4ball this for value. Also having him call with 5678 then fold a 229 flop has some value. Calling is certainly my standard but I was pretty sure he was 3betting anything remotely suited or connected.

As for your other question, QJT4 is a pretty decent hand, and I got owned on the JJ52 hand so I suck.

Do you expect him to bet just a low hand here? I would expect him to check/call, which means when he bets he likely has the low and a decent high.

I thought he'd put me on a low like, never given the way I played it so he's freerolling on getting us to fold the high so I expected him to bet any low.

That first PLO round on the left was perhaps the sexiest run of hands I've ever seen.

I just started the vid but you mentionned 3-bet folding AQ is "an elementary mistake" and I disagree here, there are plenty of people against who it's clearly best to 3-bet it when they either fold too much or call lots of 3-bets but dont 4-bet bluff much so you can happily fold it to a 4-bet.

Oh, and yeah squeezing that 77 hand would be really bad.
