def took note of your 2 to pat and probably woulda raised most 86s too

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.

If people fold too much to 3bets you shouldn't 3bet AQ but you should 3bet worse hands as a bluff instead of turning AQ into a bluff. I was mostly talking about 3b/folding against random people, of course you can and should 3b/fold AJ or AQ if someone calls every 3bet and only 4bets AK/QQ+. But that requires a significant read, in the dark I would never 3b/fold AQ.

I don't mind the QJT4ss hand that much, but the JJ97 and JJ52 are most likely not going to be profitable calls OOP, especially if you go into check-call mode.

Solid fold, vs xxA is the key here. Vs any other later position baby, you should defend.

Honestly, you are putting $10 in to win $13 on a steal. This is Stud8, the bring is a low and defends often. The 8-game structure is solid w/the $2 ante but the game is shorthanded so the dead money is a bit low, esp when players sit out. There is nothing wrong w/folding 3rd here.

Is it bad ethics to move seats to get position on Maxx86, the guy who was messing with you? I will do it when I believe a player is gunning for me, but only because it happens to me all the time

I hate it when people do that to me. I think games would be best if noone got to pick seats honestly.

Can you elaborate on why you would be folding 256 to an UTG open? Is it because Ceegee is a tough player, or is that standard for you?

taking a stab, id guess its because 256 doesnt do too well vs an utg range when we're OOP. so we have a positional disadvantage and a card disadvantage so we need a good skill advantage to make it +ev, and against other good players that will make life tough on us, we wont have a very big skill advantage.

Still... we have the 2, the 5, and the 6!

Standard for me vs a good player raising UTG. We are a small dog to his range, but more importantly we are going to be OOP for the rest of the hand --> nasty reverse implied odds vs anyone tough.

Oh fold to river raise Vincent you payoff monkey

You value bet like one of the worst hands in your range, gotta fold something

edit: worst hands in your range that you would value bet (c/c 875's and such?)

As exploitable as it may sound, in that specific spot I think I look very suspicious and I'd be betting or c/f'ing. I honestly believe ceegee may bluffraise there and once in a while raise a slightly worse hand for value. I'd definitely bet/fold like #9.

256 vs utg is kinda meh, I'd call 245 235 237 247 257 though. 256 just doesn't make that many nutsy hands. You make #3 or 4 instead of #1 and 2, or #7 or 8 instead of #4 or 5, etc Calling 256 on button tho. Because we do have the deuce, five ánd six.

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

JJ52ss is a total garbage hand, defending this can't be profitable vs anyone imo.

QJT4ss could be defendable vs really bad players with wide ranges.

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.

Can't fold QQ here on the flop.

Vs 15% of hands we are 29% EQ with postion etc getting 7:1.

On the turn raising is spewy since we are only 33% vs 15% of hands. Def should call the turn and fold some rivers.
