Oh... BalugaWhale was in my town....

can you please link the thread that you were talking about 11min in? the one with chaostricize(sp?).

I dunno if it is just me or I am in a bad mood when I watched this but that ninja dolphin biz is annoying.

On a positive note - I think BW should do a breakdown powerpoint style vid like terp on 3-betting - that would crystalise his framework alot better than the bit by bit stuff I seem to take out of all his videos.

Anyhow just a suggestion.

Am i hearing this correctly , facing a 3bet OOP you are never 4bet folding/bluffing ? nah that couldnt be right

That makes sense. Dont 4bet fold OOP and dont 4bet bluff OOP. Why would you want to 4bet, put in 28bb then fold? You are priced in to call most of the time.

What hands are you thinking are good to 4bet bluff with btw?

you can 4bet bluff sometimes too! didnt say you couldn't. i only said its not good to 4bet a pocket pair or something good and fold.

Prima Network $50.00 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players - View hand 688046

BTN: $50.00
SB: $60.05
BB: $53.28
Hero (UTG): $51.70
MP: $51.43
CO: $59.00

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is UTG with A J
Hero raises to $2, 2 folds, BTN raises to $6, 2 folds, Hero raises to $13

Heres an example of where i would 4bet fold.

Villian has 8% BTN 3b stat over solid sample
Read - have seen him 3bet/fold CO vs BTN

CO vs BTN would be more ideal but i would also 4bet/fold in that case.

So you would let a guy 3bet you IP and not play back untill you got a good hand you where willing to call a 5bet shove with ? And then when we do 4bet call we need to assume this guy is 5bet shoving worse which we have no reason to think he is. Why would he since you have been folding to 80%+ of 3bets.

I love this series.

I love the way you teach Andrew. When Im rich enough you are defenatly on my short list of coaches.

Also Kristy Im so glad you take your time to answer Andrew's questions it gives me time to pause the tape and think of my answer before either of you have time to influence my decision.

This is a great series. I hope you wind up making it a marathon series like "never tell me the odds"
