Attempt to make Jess say "about" in a Canadian accent (e.g., 'aboot').
Mission failed.

It'll come naturally, PH, just like saying zed instead of z . Love ya, Adri!

lmao on the above screenshot before I even finish dl'ing the vid!

Oh, but there are even better ones in the video! Start watching!

Just wait you guys - I'm pretty sure I have the BEST PowerPoint slide in episode 3...

U were borned to do this pygcoach!

On the J7 (~41) hand I think u should have talked some about polarized ranges. U kind of circle around it, but it's a really important concept. I understand that ur point is that they always have a 9. But perhaps explain why the fact that they are not raising AA can lead to a call. Perhaps AR allready knows this? Just a thought.

one way that helps me put ideas like the .1 BB edge into perspective is to relate it to winrate in terms of BB/100. so, in this case, value-betting the river when you going to win .1BB on average = 10 BB/100!! don't know if that helps.

about 20:00: we have KTo on btn and its 3 limpers to us. one of the big considerations on whether to raise or overcall is how often we can expect to win the pot unimproved. against this many players, and at these low stakes, where the average player's sin is calling too much, that may not be a likely enough expectation.

what i wanted to talk about was the turn decision. this is a very interesting card and its now 3 handed. on one hand, the green J puts a ton of draws on the board that we can expect to get value from. on the other hand, it also completes a lot of draws. 98, J9, J8 all got there. JT, QJ and KJ are all hands that these types of players limp w/ pre-flop too. so, i just wonder... what is our plan if we are check-raised. my guess is that we don't have to worry about a turn-check-raise semi-bluff in a multi-way pot from these guys. that would be an aggression level that is inconsistent with a player who open limps or overlimps. so, against passive players a value-bet >> a value-check! so, are we comfortable folding to a check-raise?

I watched it just hoping to see what the pictures were about but I still have no clue. Eurodonk with no idea about that american football of yours though so it might not be surprising.

Great vid again, keep up the good work! I'm blaming poker also for my drinking habit!

Thanks sushi!

You make a good point and I'll make sure I talk to Jess about it soon. I totally get where you're going with it, but I think the good ol' polarized range is probably unlikely for the limits she's playing. But it's definitely something she should be aware of as she moves up, so thanks for pointing that out.

imnuts4u, I agree that the J isn't the best possible card for our holding, but I still think it's a value bet until one of the villains wants to tell me they have something. I definitely think we're not gettting c/r semi-bluffed here since it's 3-ways, but moreover because I just really doubt anyone does it at this limit, even HU.

So, I'd have to check the pot size, but I'd consider folding to a c/r. I doubt villains can c/r 'just' a J here, so I'd expect to be up against 2 pair+ when it happens.

No matter - I thought the origami slide was the best one this week.
