Great vid, lot of interesting spots. Would love to a see a live play vid if possible.
Ansky and Blah234 review some problems hands in the hand replayer at $10/20 NLHE.
Blah234 chose to stop wasting money at 4NL and learn the game of poker. After a year of learning from his peers and teachers on DeucesCracked.com we've paired him in a series with Ansky so that he can grow further and teach those stuck in the low-mid stakes like he used to be.

Ansky, here you say you have a stronger range for cbetting, but OTR imply that one could rep some bluffs on the river. It doesn't seem you get to the river with many bluffs.
Also, why would he bluff 88 with a ship but not with a bet when checked to if you're never check calling?

in Hand 1 - How much would we be betting with TT on the river and why? What do we do if he jams (assuming this is before we knew he was capable of jamming 33)?
How much would we be betting with JT of hearts of QJ of hearts and why?

Is there anything you can take away read-wise from his bet size and the fold there?
Did he bluff/turn something into a bluff or bet for value never expecting to get bluffed raised?
Time Link to 00:19:38
So we'd likely be calling if he made his bet size bigger? I mean, so many of the hands in his range that we were behind on the flop and turn aren't value betting the river, but he is following through with a lot of his bluffs, no?

If we knew that he knows that we expect him to be bluffing that card a lot, how would that effect our river decision?
Does that make it less likely he will hero call us since we wouldn't have to turn a made hand into a bluff if we thought he was bluffing a lot - we can just call?
Or would that make it less likely that he actually is bluffing that card and therefore give him a stronger river betting range and make folding best?
Just a comment: this video was excellent. It seems almost a waste to do a live action video with you two. The interaction was stellar. I can follow Blah's logic, and to have Ansky giving constant rebuttals and back n forth dialog is really what learning is all about. Please stick to a similar format because it's far more in depth.
Nice video. I'd love to see this format again.

Because presumably he believes hes never good if we bet, but if we check he might be.
I could be bluffing with basically anything on the river, I would frequently check AK and the similar hands on the turn, but versus some I am definitely betting it sometimes.

I wouldn't fold TT, because he might be jamming 33. My bet size on this river would probably be pretty consistent with most hands.
btw to back up what I said in video:
As Ks 44.44% 12 0
JT, JQ, 33, KJ, AJ 55.56% 15 0
check fold looks good.

I would assume he had 2 pr or an overpair.

yes id rather call the more polarized his range is.
would we be jamming the river with a 9 high flush against this guy?
given his bet size, probably.
