I think at 100NL is where you get a lot of mass multitabling nits who grind out the FPPs for a living by stacking 16+ tables. Good point about being a little looser and stealing, with your nitty opponents playing so many tables it's a great strategy.

Should we be opening ATs here since it's seven handed? There are also two nits in the blinds.

Even though a nit opened here there is a good chance he's looking to pick up the posters blind here too. Would a 3bet be good here?

Lol love the slowroll. Two things on this hand, first did he 4x it because of the weaker player in the BB. Secondly, what do you think of the BB's play was it standard?

Sorry for all the comments but it's just because this is a great vid and there's so much to discuss. When you talk Agg Freq what do you consider low/med/high. Are there any DC vids that cover this subject that you know of, or is it a relatively simple explanation?

Earlier we called a tightish player from late position with KJs but we're folding QJs in the cutoff vs a much looser player. Would you say cold calling here is -EV in the long run?

One thing I wouldn't have picked up on that you did was since our opponent has a high Agg Freq, when he doesn't bet the turn after UTG checks there is no way he has a K. A small value bet looks good on the river then.

1st of all, very interesting vid and a lot of good comments from the coach! Smile

I'll probably post few comments in the thread and if you don't mind answer few questions.

Very interesting analysis by slowlane here in this hand. I think I did'nt think enough about vilain's expected hand range on the river. I agree that I could have bet smaller here and get value. As we can see trought the vid, there are few spots where I can improve my play OTR, where I miss some good bluffing opportunities.

I played with this specific player at 200NL mostly and I had some notes on him. He is generally very agressive for sure and sometimes speewy. He is a very very big loser at 200NL (see PTR) so I just tried to get max value from him without thinking too much about his range. This is what leads me to bet that big. Anyway, like already explain higher, I think I can refine my hand range analysis in these kind of spot and play better accordingly.

I guess you are talking about the AA hand?

I definitely bet bigger when there are few weak players behind to get max value and hopefully play bigger pots with them.

Seriously, slowroll wasn't voluntary. My reasoning was : you are doing a vid that will be seen by the community, so take your time to think and don't do stupid stuff! Smile

Maybe Slowlane could also comment on that, but it really depends on the table dynanics. I mean, if there is one or many agressive 3 bettor behind, we won't be able to see the flop often enough to justify a call.

In that particular hand, the guy behind is the one that is very 3 bet happy OTB (see the hand I 4 bet him for more details), so I think this is hardly Ev+ to flat here.

Vs a loose player that opens and other passive players in the blinds, I might call, but it takes a very loose opener to call here. QJs has less equity than KJs. To give an approximate idea, I would flat KJs in good conditions vs a vilain that opens 16% or more pre. For QJs, it would require a vilain's opening range of something in the 25%.

Hi Slowlane and Student, Any Merit to Checking the TT on table 3 on J45tt, or should we bet for value and collection of dead equity against A, K, Q's?
