very nice as always, thanks Ariel!
The AJ hand, are we playing, say, AQ that doesn't 3bet the same on that same board?
hey,
in min 13 you decide to c/c turn on KTx A with AT in a 3bet pot and gave a very good reasoning behind it (btw: is the line bet Turn/ shove river to rep an Ace too bluffheavy cause ur value betting range is too small that you never think about bluffing that card in generell)?
But: When u check the river with the intention of c/c:
1. don´t u think u have enough Q´s in ur range that make it unlikely that sauce is bluffing (cause he knows that) - and you (i guess) would have called with 2pair also -so: isn´t that a bad spot for sauce to bluff you off a hand esp- given his betsize?
2. Do you see many Q´s in his range (is he betting turn with KQ, QT, no i guess) -cause he is only repping QJ, isn´t he?
3. Given ur explanation in the A9s hand before: DOn´t u think sauces should either overbet river to rep the straight or a bluff cause its unlikly that he is valuebetting anything else on the river (or do you think he is capable of valuebetting AT+).

BTW:
really good video....wish you would do a video every 2days ;-) but still happy that DC ot a great video produce like you at all !

Probably
great vid ariel, it's amazing how good hu poker vids have been forced to get because of competition, but it looks like dc is the clear leader with this series for better or worse.
the only question i have about any hands that came up is with regard to the A9d hand where you overbet the river. I understand the reasons for doing so and make similar plays myself, i'm just wondering where you say you wouldn't be the river without a 9. this seems really really tight to me. to clarify, the board is:
T8c3 Jc Q
I would bet QT or QJ here on the river for sure, figuring i am bluffing rarely but certainly with anything i bet on the turn, and i think my enemy can convince himself of this and call AQ, QcK that checked the flop, Qc7, or potentially something else. i would also prevent myself from being bluffed, a very unlikely scenario but when they bluff i have to fold so i lose a little equity there too.
If you just say you were trying to explain the concept of the overbet and exaggerated a bit on what you would value bet (i do this in vids to illustrate the point), that would make perfect sense too, but if not, i'm interested.
I guess its just really easy for him to have A9 or AK though but that kind of makes the river shove seem worse.

Yeah I probably bet QT and QJ against players like Sauce, but I guess I was more discussing what my value betting range seems like to him and how I should bet-size accordingly. As with this and a couple other questions, I'm going to have to delay going into detail: just got hom efrom the 25k 6-max tournament, my brain's a bit fried, and I won't have much time to look over ?s for the next day (and hopefully few days).
Hi Ariel,
I was wondering why at 13:59 you decided to make such a small check-raise (80 to 200) on the K98r board when you held JTo? couldn't you more credibly rep KQ/K9/98 with a bigger check-raise? do you not think that the FE you get against gutshots/BP on that board by making a larger C-R is worth it?
More generally,how do you decide whether to make a small C-R like you did there versus making a large 3x+ C-R?

I rarely c/r big unless super deep I don't think you need to to get them off their air or to play for stacks and the cost/benefit analysis is better on cheap check/raises
since you move your table around, does that mean you did not see one of the holecards most of the time?
On the TT338 Flush draw board where he raises your value bet of the A8 OTR. I wonder if he was bluffing you thinking you might be trying to value bet the flush and assuming you would fold to a raise on that board.
We will never know though I guess. Great video ![]()
I really enjoyed this video. THX learned alot from it. I only play 6max but watching you play HU is more than a delight. Going to watch the rest of your HU vids!
