You might consider crediting Vivek with the ability to anticipate a check-raise from a lot of your value range on this board; picking up equity on the turn is no good if you get blown off your hand by the hands that you picked up outs against. My guess is that he decides that his fold equity against any better hand that will fold is static between the turn and river and that he has almost no fold equity against any pair you check to him with, which may also check-raise him and thus nullify his turned outs.

awesome series. thanks FWF

The thing is, very little of my c/r range check/folds most rivers for one bet, so if I'm c/r he loses the same bet/folding the turn as blufifng hte river (assuming he doesn't hit the Q obviously). And since it'll be hard to rep much on most rivers, I probably check/call him with hands that fold the turn because they have terrible equity against his value range and he always has lots of outs against (the weaker pairs). Maybe this way he picks it up against better hands that have draws that missed the c/r (like nut flushes) on the river, but for the most part with no fold equity against my Kx hands and only having fold equity against my other hands if he bets the turn, he should bet the turn

Additionally, while he has outs to improve, so do my weak hands. Ax can pair up, 6x can river two pair/trips, etc. A lot of the time my folding hands don't fold the river and that counters the argument that he can improve himself on some rivers imo

"Control M that" hahaha I def say that.

Awesome series.

On the last hand, i'd add gutshots to your range like A3, A4 (or w/e the gutty was) if you want to not kill your meta of never bluffing after you c/r and barrel off after the flush hits.

vivek isnt very good imo
nice series hope to c u again soon

Vivek isn't ABC, and whilst I agree that he is probably beatable at a decent clip, it isn't trivially easy to take his money. The video demonstrates one strategic approach that attempts to beat such an opponent.

Sick series. Thank you for putting this together.

In the K7hh hand, why is check raising better than check calling? I'm assuming it's to protect your hand possible get called by a 9 or a 6. It just seems counter intuitive that you're checking for pot control but then planning stack off. also seems counter intuitive that you would take a stronger line with K7hh than with AKo, although I guess barreling 3 streets there could be interpreted as a stronger line than a c/r on the turn. I'm assuming you're also c/ring sets and two pairs some of the time for balancing's sake or are you barreling those off as well? would you play this hand differently against a more passive opponent?

Great video, ty.

Very nice video, one of the best ever for sure.

Hey FWF, exceptionally, dont u wanna make a video about the 10k wcoop highrollers event, it was a really tough field and I think it would be awesome to hear some thoughts from a player, who plays mostly highstakes cg.
Btw nice score

FWF, I'm still trying to catch up on all of the vids and you may have discussed this in one already, but as you're playing an opponent how do you adjust your ranges once you see them calling 3bets with certain hands like K4s etc? Do you adjust by tightening up your 3betting range to something like K9s+ etc? Also how does this affect your 3bet calling range or 4betting range vs nits/TAGs/maniacs once you see the type of hands they are 3betting with?

I'm pretty new to HU, so this is a concept I'm trying to wrap my head around. I'm just wondering what kind of in-game adjustments we can make to our ranges once we see villain showdown certain hands. Thanks.

You check/raise because you want to protect your hand and because sometimes people spazz out and bet/call w/random pairs figuring your check/raise value range is polarized

I would also c/r AKo often but keep in mind as you said that 3barrelling AK for value is super standard and K7s is super thin

Of course I'm check/raising sets/two pairs if I think my opponent is float happy or if I have been cbetting a lot and giving up

Maybe I will but nothing too interesting happened and I find 1-tabling vids to be somewhat boring. I caught cards and bluffed on the few occasions when I didn't
