Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by Grindcore (Micro/Small Stakes)

What makes you think I'm beating his bluffs? I have king high. I lose to all NFDs and AJ/A7.

I've already addressed the DC short in the comments on this video a couple of posts up.

You have the second nut non made hand, so I think there are more non NFD in his bluffing range, but he might decide to bluff, when checked to, so actually you're rebluffing if he is betting river and if he checks back, then you win mostly as showdown?

I think you're assumptions about his bluffing range are too optimistic. Also, it's super cheap to shove here compared to calling so it's definitely worth it to push him off his better bluffs even if he has them less frequent.

table 3 with A6o - are you bet/folding this turn?

Yeah I think so. I don't remember what I had seem him do so far but in general fish don't semibluff like that and I'm way behind his value range.

bottom left with the KJ, are you x/c'ing the river if he bets

bottom left with ATs - you say he might be bluffing with AJ on this board. do you think that's a good play if he's doing that? What would he trying to get you to fold other than like KJ, KK and AA?

upper right with the KQ - you say "the 5 on the turn isn't a good barreling card unless you pick up some equity." why isn't it a good barreling card? Because it gives some of your pairs equity like 9h9x for a pair + FD or 77/66 for a pair + SD, and you might not fold a Q even without a heart? But if that's the case and those hands make up most of your turn calling range, then isn't it a good spot to triple barrel?

upper left with the 73s - any merit in calling the flop since you have a pair and he only made it 1/4 pot?

upper right with the JTo vs the fish - you say that if it wasn't strong enough for calling you'd be 3betting him . Is there merit in 3betting the JT even though you can also call with it in order to isolate the fish and take initiative, allowing you to win a lot more pots with a cbet than playing it passively?

table 3 with A6o - are you bet/folding this turn?

Yes I think so. x/c flop x/r turn w draw is very very rare for fishes, while x/c flop x/r turn is very very common for value. I don't beat a value raise.

bottom left with the KJ, are you x/c'ing the river if he bets

Yes, it's a card that's inviting for him to bluff at and I'm readless. On top of pot-odds, if I'm beat (but also if I'm right), I will get info about his line and sizing which will have value for the rest of the session.

Yes it's more of a give up or fire 3 type of card. Most regs are too passive on the river though, so call turn fold river is fine. People have leaks, especially at these stakes.

Hmm yes I'm not sure why I folded.

Yes, this is probably something I have improved on since making this video. 3betting fish very wide in position is great and 3betting JTo is is far superior to flatting. Flatting is more likely gonna give me reads though so early on the session it might be better to flat. I think I still prefer 3b more since knowing how he plays in 3b pots is gonna be good as I'll likely end up 3betting him tons.
