Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by KRANTZ (Micro/Small Stakes)

Here with J8s if we get raised on 837ss with J8 of spades so you prefer a flat call or a shove? The turn is a 5h what are we doing vs a check raise? Just flatting if we have the odds I assume?

usually flat call -- if he's bluffing he may continue on the turn. i'm not intending on folding at any point unless the opponent is very tight and doesn't bluff, in that case i'd just look to my outs and the pot odds

Think about what you're repping here ... a thinking player would usually figure out what's going on if you look at it from his perspective. Until you show him a set or 2 pair in this spot I really wouldn't bluff like this.

"You can make more money by folding."

Exactly - finally someone has said it! Really really important concept.


Actually I've heard someone else say it in an instructional video before, but maybe just once.

When you go into your timebank here in a single raised pot in position you really look like you have a strong made hand before you even raise (or at minimum its a monster draw, but people usually dont tank with those especially on this board). I know it seems like its a small detail and shouldn't be much of a tell, but a lottttt of people do this ... a lot (I think I also saw it in some of your other HU sessions in this series). On top of this you've generally been acting very quickly when weak so this is even more suspicious to me.

Just something to think about... I don't know if he would notice but I would because I'm really big on timing tells. Most of them are very situational, like you cant just say 'he acted quick so he's weak' in all cases, but with certain board textures or preflop scenarios your timing can be incredibly revealing.

The J8s 3 bet pot hand on 873ss 5s what are you doing on river cards like 6,4,2,T and K,Q,A that aren't spades if he calls the turn?

So what is our betting range here OTT? If the flop would be twotone would you still check?
