DC, you probably already know this, but the video isn't showing up on the main page.

I just downloaded and watched this. Solid video guys! You work well together and I find your thought processes really helpful. Keep it up.

I think b/3b is way better because as we c/c turn no way he is putting us on 2pair anymore. If I'm in villain's shoes and see you donk I'm saying "Trips of Tens full" and raise

Sad at the complete Failboat using Zodiac signs. Didn't think BIG enough. There are enough Constellations to go round everyone

Boomer - Bootes
Numbnuts - Norma
CG - About 10 to choose from
Busting You - errrrm... Ursa Major or Minor (U u see)

Great video though guys, despite the replayer "moments" and you two make an awesome team.

Btw on my hand that got shown I think my thought process at the time was something like

"Ok, I think X/F sucks here in a 7BB pot (getting 8-1 when bet at) but....."
"X/C? Shouldn't he just own me if I take that line if he can hand read remotely, I mean do I x/c a pair here, or X/R the river often enough?"
"Does he EVER fold A-high or a small PP condsider I've given him a "FU I don't care about your LRR line?"
"S**t better do something"

Last one being over-riding

With regards to betting the turn, the fact that we are in position means villain is more than likely going to give us a free showdown with his missed draw which he is is more likely to make a bluff on river since we show weekness on turn.

If we check the turn and he bets the river do we call with K high? If we dont does this still make bet on turn + or -EV in the grand scheme of things.

I know the percentage of time we are up against a made hand on river rather than missed draw is going to be a lot higher say for arguments sake 90% made hand 10% draw.

If we check the turn the he is going to bet river 95%+ (estimate) with his made hands and 90%+(estimate) of time with his missed draw.

but if we bet the turn he bets river 40% of the time with his made hands (the amount of time he bets he is irrelevant since if we are not calling with K high we lose anyway) but he bluffs at river more like 5% of the time with his 10% of missed hands.

"S**t better do something"

this is not really a bad thought process in general in hu

ty estornudo we appreciate the feedback!

yeah agree, i think i talked myself around to it eventually; just the turn play threw me off

Video was cool. I like the series so far , bbb's and pygmyhero's analysis was A+.

The 7s7d hand was tough , i surprised to hear pygmy say he would fold the Jh on the turn and Not the Qh. When he broke down "loose donker's" flop donking range i thought to myself that i shoulda folded the Qh turn. But since i called I have to call the river if it is a brick but, the Jh river was awful. I beat nothing on the river. As i said before the guy donked btm pair , middle pair , top pair , AIR, and draws before. sick bad spot imo. I had like 20 hands on him and he played 15/20 hands

I find that when i game create like this i run into a lot of wild player types, most of which are poor. I go into a defensive call down mode with my marginal pair type hands when i get donked into. This has been going well for me though so far ( game creating) , i just try and make my player reads as fast as i can with the information available.

If we check the turn and he bets the river do we call with K high? If we dont does this still make bet on turn + or -EV in the grand scheme of things.

I don't think it's a terrible option. Keep in mind that we have the nut king high here and that people don't very often value bet A high. In other words, it may be more accurate to speak about our relative hand strength as virtually the nut no pair than K high.

Also, I would discount A high quite heavily from a donker's range.

Hey guise,
Love the format, got some super cool, very candid analysis. Can't wait to see future episodes. Thanks alot for looking at a couple of my hands. re: said hands:

AQ: yeah, i'm a sissy. I need to bet the turn.
T7s: I'm not entirely convinced about checking behind the river. It's so easy to fold to a river raise, that i think we can try and squeeze some value out of a 6, worse 7, small pocket pair, or even a strong K high, all of which are very much in his range. If he calls and we lose, it's only to a better 7 or an lol9. If he raises it's an instamuck. Seems like he calls with worse >50% and when he raises, it basically the same result as when he calls with a 9.
I obviously don't think checking behind is bad, I just don't think the river is a super easy check behind. So whatdya think? Did i sway you at all?

I wanted to state something about BBB's play which may be so obvious that it goes overlooked. His relaxed, have fun, but still agressive style has got to be a good one. raising for massive justice, catching dudes stealing cookies, collecting peanuts, etc. This is a great frame of mind to play poker in, and it is something I hope to emulate. good job elephant.
