"It just sounds like he's not very good" (ho-hum)
- Ansky

After watching the first episode I was worried that your dispositions were far too incompatible to generate interest for the rest of the series, but this format generates great discussion which trumps those personality issues.

By the way, blah sounds like he could rave about 4 days and still have energy, while ansky sounds like he would blow your head off if he didn't like your snoring. Both very cool, just not compatible.

ansky you said that check/fold lets you play perfectly, but don't you think a lot of people would bet with AJ/KJ when checked to?

When I bet really big on the turn they should of folded most of their Jx hands. If I bet smaller on the turn then there might be merit in trying to get value or snap off a thin value bet from Jx hands.

how often do you barrel that turn if you were bluffing? it seems like a kinda decent barreling card to me.. if he realizes that i don't see why he won't bluff catch with AJ/KJ(which also has equity for a straight) some of the time, right?

Shouldn't we throw in like a half pot sized bet for value vs TT-QQ? I'm not playing 5/10 but on 1-2 and 2/4 it seems to be standard that we should continue betting for value.

This is a common leak from most players. You cannot play vs a part of villain's range and must be looking at their entire range the whole time. Good player is not guaranteed to call with a bluff catcher when your bet sizing is saying that you are betting for thin value. They may jam that part of their range on you.

Taking it one step further, I think that most AQ type hands probably raise the turn b/c of all the possible action killers.
