Now after seeing him take this line with KK, in the same spot in the future would you be more inclined to c/c c/c c/f? or even just c/c c/f? I find myself getting into similar spots in low stakes game (1/2-2/4)
Also when he does check behind on the turn and the J
rolls off are you b/f if he does decide to raise?

To get the ball rolling on discussion, what are your thoughts on a river sexy here BBB?
Villain seems too tight and passive for it to be worthwhile and I'm probably being results oriented, but against a more aggressive villain could we pull this off?
ah the QQ hand? i don't hate the idea vs two guys, but i really don't give the average villain at these stakes enough aggro-valuetowny-credit to assume he will bet a pair when checked to here. i prefer to just guarantee getting the one bet in by putting it in myself. plus the board was drawy and not dry so i can't be guaranteed they one or both have bettable made hands.

well in future i'd probably still be hard pressed not to show down an ace here by checkcalling all 3 streets. they can still be goofybluffing kqs or something or betting a worse pp for who knows why.
if i bet the riv and he raised that'd be kinda gross and i would tend to fold against an average lp villain, yes

You said this was your last 1/2 video, are you planing to stay at tilt? I think most of the time it will be hard to find 4 2/4 tables there and it would really be interesting to see how the 20 tabeling nits at Stars would react to your laggy style, if they will adapt and fight back or let you run over them =)

yeah, i'm planning to do the rest of this series at tilt, not sure about the next one because there aren't a lot of higher games on ftp compared to stars. but i can find 4 2/4 tables for sure, since the last 3 eps of this series are all going to be at 2/4.
and no, i don't think the nits would respond very well

Awesome vid again!
9:45 J8s coldcalled by the small blind, he donks. Do you in any way take the last hand in consideration that you played against him? i.e. that he maybe likes to play back at you for taking the same 'line' against him in the pot right before this one.
13:10 You start discussing the merits of raising hands lik QJs out of the big blind with a couple of limpers and that you dont have to cbet the flop. When you do observant opponents will know you have nothing. Therefore I was wondering if you would balance this by checking with the intention of c/r flopped sets and other monsters? Seems a bit off but I'm asking anyway. Also, what's you cutoff? QJs? QTs? JTs?
54:30 AA. Probably done the same thing on the turn. He might think you are making a play on a paired board or with a big draw which you can easily have on this board imo. On the other side as I commented in the last episode I've noticed a couple of times now that when people get raised on a paired board and they do have an overpair, they shut down and call down. Difficult, but I would have done the same on this board.
56:10 TT. I don't hate it, the hands you are up against will be easily defined with your action. Tricky it would be when the CO folds, BTN calls, you lead the turn and he raises.

J8s - no, i don't think they're usually aware of that kind of thing - they are just playing their own cards
13:10 re: raising value hands out of the bb then checking if i miss - i'm not too worried about balancing or having people figure out what i'm up to in this spot - and also if they are constantly limping i'm not really sure they're going to be aware of playing exploitative poker
but the value i get more than outweighs any chance that they outplay me later on imo. and no i'd never check a monster if i flopped it. it would depend how many limpers - with 4 limpers i'd raise all those hands you listed. it's fun to pokerstove around there
AA - yea sick spot, maybe i overleveled myself here possibly
TT - i'm gonna post this hand actually in the forums now
