assuming we do it in single raised pot also for same reasons (only not min raise) - right?

a flop raised pot is a little different because calling becomes a much, much larger part of the equation.

You say that 22 has basically the same all-in equity as long as we get it in pre. Did I get that right? But If I stove 22 against a range of 99+, AQs, AK I have 30% equity, whereas AK has 43%?

Table 3.. I like a second barrel there.

I think that ppl will bet shove AK very very very rarely there at nl100.

Okey.
I have question about AK and QQ+.
Why should we get money in there?
Most if these guys are 4betting AK and QQ+ and against that range our AK and QQ have around 40%.
Some money already in the pot doesnt make it up for it afaik.
?

4) what will he do on the turn with zero-to-some equity? (if he barrels a lot, then calling flop and shoving over his turn bet seems best).

i assume this is because he never bets the river unless he improves to beat us? i.e. if he never bluffs the river, then its good to shove and make him fold his equity?

but if he never bluffs the river, then cant it be good to just call the turn and fold to a river bet or check it back if he gives up? in other words, if we just call the turn, we are using our positional advantage to gain more information (seeing what he does on the river), and that allows us to play perfectly. so yeah we are giving a free card, but at the same time we never get it in crushed by an overpair. and yeah, we are allowing him to play perfectly too because he never bets unless he improves, but if he doesnt have a ton of equity (like if he only has 6-10 outs), does calling and using our positional advantage on the river have merits?

thanks

call 22 in the SB and fold to a c-bet on a really dry flop. this is not a good play right? is it best to c-c the flop or c/r? i always 3-bet or fold 22 in the blinds against late position opens. this because its going to be hard to play since it is not profitable to just setmine here. againt a tight range (UTG) i call because i suspect to stack of the villain sometimes when i hit my set and he's got an overpair/top 2 pair etc.

Can you please explain why you would 3B with A8s on THE BTN vs 40/2 after 70 hands. Clearly he is only raising big cards and pairs which all have us beat.I also would think That our fold equity is very low post since hes rarely folding his pairs. Any info would be much appreciated THX BW!
Great Vid so far BTW. 1more thing isnt this going against the process since we cant bluff (not many worse hands villain pfr's) and we cant get value
since again I dont see a 40/2 PFRaising A6s. Thanks Again!

40/2 over 70 hands isnt enough to tell us anything other than "he's probably passive-bad", its not enough to say that he's definitely only raising premiums

Is there any hands we can get value from at river? My first thought would be that any hand that we have beaten folds this river (he would call with something like A9, but I think he would have bet that at some point..) so we gain nothing (except not having to show our cards), but we risk losing 60$ more for a slowplayed set or flush. I guess it's unlikely that he would have a monster, but could it still be more likely than him calling with a worse hand?

people have a hard time folding hands.

Great Video.I have a few ats:

1) At 22min-KQo hand-I understood it this way 'Suppose we have kq on a qxx flop and we bet and get called and the turn is an A,then if the flop has a flush draw possible then betting turn(small like 1/3rd the pot) n c/c blank rivers is good[Because villain had many flush draws in his range all of which are not nut flushes].However if it is a monotone flop and the turn is an offsuit A,then c/f is good because now your opponent has many Ax in his range since he has the nut flush draw many times rather than non nut flushes].'Did i understand this correctly.I actually rewinded the tape thrice and tried understanding it clearly but i am still not sure if i got this correctly.
2) At 39min-AKo we 3b/f vs a nit on the button and you said it is wrong because we have a small sample size.Is 3b/f AK correct if he was a nit over a big sample like 100 hands???I do that many times vs nits because i feel they will call with worse like AQ,KQs in position and maybe 4bet only KK+.Is this a big leak???

Thanks in advance.

1) sounds ab out right to me

2) not a big leak, 100 hands is not a big sample size though.

tyvm.

minraise is the only raise size.

b-dawg do you have any videos on turn/river play? I used to play 100% tournaments from £10 - £200 (once or twice £1k+) and am trying to get into cash games. I'm used to playing with a short-mid stack and squeezing/shoving preflop etc though tournaments have little turn and river play, and i often find myself at a bit of a loose end on the turn espesh when OOP. do you have any tips for turn and river play, espesh in big/3-bet pots when i've had a c-bet called and have junk etc. obv it's oponent spcific, but do you have maybe a check list of when to bet and when not to/some vids to watch focusing on it?

cheers, Dan

p.s much appreciated
