When we just flat his 3-bet and then jam on the heart turn, isn't that what is going to have to happen a lot even though our plan was to call and get him to put more money in OTT? We would have to do this on any heart (10), diamond (10) , club (10) which is 30/45 or ~67% of the time. We have the 7 cards that pair the board, which I assume we will check on? What other cards would you check to your opponent on? Also, isn't it sort of tough for him to continue to keep bluffing after a flop like this also given the action?

Yea, I imagine I'll find myself taking this line pretty often, but I don't think that is a problem. When the alternative is coming over the top on the flop, we mostly will just lose our action right there (if we wouldn't, then we probably won't on the turn either). This way we give him a chance to pick up a backdoor or something and make him squirm and think when we ship it in his face. If he gets suspicious, he may well call it off, and now we're winning even more $.

Makes sense, just wanted to make sure I was fully understanding it. Like you said, if he is air heavy that keeping him around is better than blowing him out of the pot. Do you still ship any card that completes the broadway straight?

I probably would ship those too, yea. If he got there, we're stacking off either way, so again we need to protect our hand from backdoor draws when the pot is so big.

In this spot if you did have AA and the board paired on the river, would you lead out?

against most villains, yes. People at lower stakes tend to be bad at getting thin value or making thin bluffs because they're afraid of the nuts, so they could check back anything from nut flush to air when the board pairs. But they also hate to fold good hands, so they're somewhat likely to call with a flush.

Hey DJ Sensei,

On the first hand of this episode, let's say a spade broadway card comes down on the turn completing the rainbow, what line here would you then take??? I'm certain that you are willing to stack off here either way I was just wondering if you were given this same tag villain type, would you still lead that turn and for how much??? Or would you plan to continue sandbagging and check raise your stack when the villain continues to represent an air heavy range??? Thanks a lot man and keep up the fantastic work with this series

I'd probably check in that scenario, at least on a Ks or Qs. We only have 8 bad cards that could come on the river (those which put out an awful 4th broadway card). If it's a Ts then there are plenty of gutshots available and I'd probably jam to protect against them.

The general problem with leading out when broadway completes is that the c/r-call line on the flop certainly looks a lot like some sort of broadway wrap type hand; I doubt he'll make many bad calls when we ship. But if we check, we allow him to follow through on bluffs/semibluffs (while not risking much in terms of free cards, and also making him more likely to bluffcatch our river jam), and that's our main source of value here.

Hi

First hand AA94 OOP and you C/R flop, but only call his flop 3bet.
You said in the video that "we can never float a 3bet with air", then why not just 4bet-shove the rest of the money now. (especially when you decide to bet the blank Turn).
I know it is a tricky concept video, but I really don't get the line of calling flop-3Bet OOP and Betting Turn.

He folds to your turn bet, so maybe it is ok to take this line with a drawing hand like TQK? or with air ?

This is a great video-serie and it really got me thinking about a lot of things that I have not been aware of before. I really like when you change the opponent description between the5 difference player types - More of that please :-)

ok - I see your reply to StraitBizness about the call-3bet not 4bet-shove the flop. (even if I am not completely convinced).
- What if he complete his draw (KQTx), he would have called a shove with that, right?

I assume you mean a flop shove. Probably. But KQTx is a small part of his range, and most of it won't call a shove. Also, KQTx may well get it in on a blank turn too.

ok I see, have to think about his hole range on the flop.

What about a small bet here, given villans post flop passivity?
