Great video! Blah, are you planning of making a video on a bit higher stakes (lets say nl200). The game dynamic is a very different there IMO (a lot more 3betting & other stuff).

AQ @ 4th table: he actually 3bet shoves. Does this fact affect your decision?

I can make higher stakes videos if there are demand for it, all up to the DC content team. AQ doesn't affect my decision when he shoves because that villain hasn't shown that he's aggro.

Hey you said that you want to 3 bet less from blinds when ur deep. So does this mean u are 3 betting a more polarized range? Also are you 3 betting more in position when ur deep? obvioulsy this depends on the opponent but just as a general question.

You should 3 bet more depolarized as stacks get deeper because villain are more likely to call then stack off. You can also have a range for calling 4 bets with enough stack depth. Yes, I will generally 3 bet more often IP vs someone because stack depth amplifies positional advantage if you are willing to make a move for your whole stack sometimes.

Turn your hand into a bluff? Im not sure I get it, shouldnt we be more concerned about getting value on the river? Our read on villain was that when he checked back the flop he is weak, so he could easily have called with a 9 or something else weaker on the turn, and when a brick rolls off I highly doubt he folds.Or if a club falls we can probably check call since hes not repping much if are read is that he would bet a Q on the flop and bet draws on the flop.Not sure if that was your read though....

c/c when something gets there on the river is like the worst thing ever. All you do is get value towned when they spike and miss value when he doesn't have air. When the guy c/c turn he obv doesn't have air.

Dont you think K7is a bit thin here vs a 60/30 when we are oop? That makes me wonder what type of range we can iso this villian IP. I was under the assumption vs these villians just expand our range wider the weaker they play post.. as in they chk fold alot. But without that read I would never iso K7o oop vs this villain or even IP for this matter,am i wrong for that? Maybe I didnt hear it the vid and you said he chk folds alot... But pretty sure I you didnt. Thanks. BTW love the vid so far Smile

So whats your rule with really loose player like 60vip plus as in iso pfr size? I have some fish in my games that pretty much limp call every time. What do you think a good stradegy would be for them. TYPE A fish player who is floaty post. Type B. fish str8 forward fish. Clearly we should iso bigger vs the more str8 forward fish but i never really no where to draw the line thats why im asking. For type A fish should I just keep it standard since hes floating and playing back more post? I understand if you cant anwser these ?s because they really arnt related to this video but if you can Id really appreciate it. Thanks again!!

You had K Spade 2 Spade

Flop: A Heart T Spade Q Spade

Turn: 9 Heart
You said you have two draws, both to the nutz. IMO K-high FD isn't the NFD here Smile Does this change our plan, shall we fold now ? Our pot odds are about 26.5%. Direct odds for hitting our draw against his range (against sets) are ~~ 22.565%. I don't think we can rely on any implied pot odds on 4-to-str8.

playing vs fish or anyone who doesn't use position well OOP or IP has very little difference. My default assumption is that the times villain folds pre + times they c/f flop to small cbet + the times I hit a pair will make raising most hands profitable.

How a fish plays has nothing to do with how big you should raise. The bigger you raise preflop the more often you have to win the pot postflop for the bigger raise to make sense generally. You should adjust your range for raising vs different fish. For example, I would not raise like 76s vs a stationy fish but raise that vs a fit or fold fish. How big you raise should depend on how other regs react at your table.

When was the last time anyone folded a K high flush for around 100BB? If he only has sets in his range which gives us 22.565% pot odds does it matter if our flush is 2 high? Do you think villain automatically c/f a set when we hit and bet like 5BB on the river because that's about how much implied odds we need for the call to be +EV assuming he has only sets in his range.

Hi, I'm a micro fish, but have some questions about the 33 hand where the shortstack push in a multiwaypot preflop. He push almost 29bb, and hero push with 2 people behind. When we push, we do it to win 41bb in the pot, but we are always flipping or hugh dogs against the shortstacks range. If we say that we got around 30% eq vs the shortstack in BB, wich I think is pretty generous? Then this is a -EV push anyway? Am I thinking wrong in any spot? Sry if its like that Smile

Right thats why valuebetting the river makes sense, but you said if he calls here we will prolly turn our hand into bluff later, when its pretty clear value bet later. I also said Id c/c the river if some draws got there because hes not repping much at all he was the PFR and chkd back the flop so I was not putting him on a draw... unless you had a read that he does not bet draws.
