Can you explain your thoughts behind isoing T6s OOP?



He limps so he's weak. He had also been raising so he's likely limping his weakest hands, unlike fish who also limp KQ etc. And when playing only 2 tables and recording a video you kinda want to play alot of hands to get into spots ofcourse. The next video will focus more on proper play, though I might raise the T6s aswell here if I wasn't making a video.

Hey GC, table 2, w AKo, you kept about the same 3 bet size 150 bbs deep. Just curious if you had a specific reason, or 150bbs is not yet a tipping point...

Thanks, and keep up the nice work.



I could start making it 10 but it's not really a big deal. OOP it's important to increase your sizing but not really IP. The smaller you make it the cheaper your bluffs, and if he calls it more often then he'll be playing OOP with a weaker range that can take less heat, and you'll have more room to apply heat as a result of the now higher stack to pot ratio. In fact you could probably show a big profit 3betting to 2.5x in position as default with 100bb stacks, or even smaller. Just because it isn't in the 2+2 textbook doesn't mean it's not good.

I don't think he's valubetting worse here so that only leaves a float oop for hands that we beat imo. He either slowplayed a Q, has something like TT, or hit a set on the turn or river imo.

Actually, just realized it was 3-way. I take out floats for that reason and think this is a fold 100% of the time (barring some specific read).



Fishy players often call paired rainbow flops with A high and then end up bluffing the river. But you're right that this was a pretty clear fold. My mind is always looking for excuses to call rather than excuses to fold so I'm always a bit slow to coming to the right conclusion in such spots Poke Tongue

Regarding the HH at the end:

We know he's weak, we know he doesn't have air (what he defines as air we don't know however), we don't know whether he raises straightdraws on the flop aswell like his FDs.

All in all calling here with a rather wide bluffcatching range should be profitable.

I prefer check/shoving though...


villain isn't turning 3x+ into a bluff and never has 2x given notes. the only hands we should bluff with are 8high-10high.

In reply to the quiz at the end.

The full board is 2d6s7s2c3d

Now if our notes are correct and accurate.

We know he folds air to a 2nd barrel.. he doesn't fold so he doesn't have air

We know snap actions are weak and he snaps all 3 so he's weak

Given he would raise TP on the flop, I would also assume he would raise an over pair in this case 88+, so we can remove all that from his range

and he tanks when he improves, since he never tanked he never improved.

I place his range at 44,55, or 6x which makes me wanna call with 7x,88+ maybe even higher 6x's like maybe as low as J6



Yeah, agree with this. I came up with much the same answer, but Im not sure what better hands he expects us to fold. Although being an aggro fish I guess he can bet without much reason.

Another excellent point and there has been plenty before this timeline - proving to be an excellent series. Lots of good pointers that one doesn't often pay attention to.

although I think I could just check-raise 100% of my range and be more profitable for it.

You aren't the only one brother! I'm currently working on finding that damn fold button myself!

+ 1 - i think c/shoving river > hero calling. Often he may be bluffing with KsXs, QsXs etc. If I were to call it'd be with Kx +, as we beat all of his missed flush draws (as given description sure he'd raise NFD).

Based on reads I guess he must have a 6 like always. Probably with an 8 or a 9 on the side since he doesnt connect. I call w.6 10+
