35:30 KT 648ss flop
What is your plan if she cbets?

Plenty of options here. In general c/r this flop is really standard. We take down the pot w/ K high a good amount, have a bunch of equity when called, and can win a pretty big pot when we hit any of our 15 outs.

If I was playing a pretty good hand reader who also played fairly solid and didn't double barrel turns too often, c/c this flop has a lot of merit too. When we hit a flush, K, or T, our hand is pretty disguised. And because our opponent will give up on the turn a good amount, we can bet the river expecting a fold quite frequently as he will assume we were extremely likely to c/r the flop w/ a FD.

Against Vanessa specifically in this match, I prefer taking control of the hand and c/r. She will fire the turn quite a lot when we whiff and it puts us in a position where we probably should just c/f on the turn. We also have a lot of flexibility when we hit a hand on the turn against her because she will consider repping our made hand or making a thin value bet on spades/T/K on the turn.

Against most reasonable opponents, I would c/r this flop and lead any turn, whether it helped us or not a good amount of the time without any specific information that would dictate another line being better.


37:50

"The stats are a little bit weird, like 90% red and a little bit black" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Ya I know. FML.


45:00 JJ

I dont see a point in NOT 3betting here, she 4bets and plays back a lot and JJ isnt really the hand you wanna flat w, other than AA and KK

Pretty much agree completely. JJ is a hand that I virtually always 3 bet against everyone. With that being said, I remember thinking that on favorable flops like T75 or something, I thought she was likely to not give a flop c/r all that much respect. Certainly 3 betting here is fine if not best. I just try to make a habit of keeping a variety of hands in my range in a bunch of situations both PF and on later streets when playing against superior hand readers. Although in a given hand it may not be the highest EV play, it makes you much more dangerous to play against

57:00 K7s

What is her point in betting . making this play? She wants to get us of a hand or something?

By the river she correctly assumes that the vast majority of our range here is only semistrong made hands 44-AA, 7x, and air. As such, she decided that the best line would be to c/r here obviously expecting me to fold a large % of my value range on this river.

Gman thanks very much indeed for the series.

You're right, we are willing to sacrifice entertainment for information. I watch videos to increase $$. When I want entertainment I watch sport!

Great series, and looking forward to your next one.

I'll add in with everyone else that this was a great series and I really enjoyed the discussion. Was awesome getting to see you duke it out with these great poker minds and seeing them adjust to the restrictions and you readjust and on and on...
Super sick stuff all around!

Also looking forward to the next series/Ghost video, maybe we could see a teaming up with Baluga Whale for a Coaching Tree-esque HU endeavor!
