If we are 3B/folding AJ on the bottom right, then are you saying that you would rather call the open instead of 3B since we are IP?

You remember here what that train of thought was about calling weaker hands out of position, completing stuff from the sb and having to devalue your hand OOP. Then the AQ hand pops up and we lose the interesting rant again . I'd like to hear the end of it

Great vid, super great series so far. Keep it up. I feel that the proces you are going through (also with the feeling getting played back at) perfectly resembles how it actually goes for a lot of players trying to get better and overcoming that and handling that and always trying to make the corect decisions uninfluenced by emotions will make the better winning/crushing players stand out and move up to and trough the midstakes.

Best serie for a MicroGrinder like me. Thanks guys !!

With T8s on BTN vs min raise of fish you suggest to 3bet to iso. That confused me a little bit, because from your previous videos (CT) I got the idea that it's good to play suited connectors in a small multiway pot with position. That makes me want to call. Can you clarify a bit more on why we should 3bet?

this is interested question let say on the blinds we have very agress. player that shoove a lot, then T8s we call in ip?

is not better to 3 bet this kind of hands oop?because this hands bad to play oop then is fold or 3 bet?

Just a thought but i think one of the reasons we can contribute as to why Kristy is getting 4bet so often is her 3bet stat on every table is pretty big. Its something i havnt heard you talk much about yet Andrew is our image on the table and how we should adjust , given Kirsty is playing very loose and aggressive with a much higher than average 3bet % i think we should expect to get played back at alot more.

Great video !

yes but how kristys plays is the best play?

but A5o on CO , i think to loose?

But now i am thinking how Kristy plays is the right play? loose and agg

Maybe because getting HU against the fish is better then taking a multiway flop, and because of the risk of getting squeezed by one of the binds (as mentioned).

Just my thought, but would also like to see Baluga's response to this

The whole idea that people are just picking up hands here when they 4 bet us just doesn't add up to me considering the amount we are 3 betting (>25% if I am reading the stats corrctly) even at 50NL people will adjust and 4 bet light. Seems to me if we just tighten up our 3 bet value range (and throw in some junk - polarizing as you said) then we can 5 bet/get it in much lighter Vs these guys. I guess what I am saying is that I don't think it is a coincidence that we are getting 4 bet a ton from a load of different players (note there are many more regs in this session than previous sessions too) - I just don't believe they are all 4betting JJ+/AK (normal value 4betting range for 50NL I would think).


EDIT: I posted as watching but I just saw shades mentioned ths above too.

Hey I have a question on something mentioned a few times here.

What does it mean to "polarize"?

Great video btw
