Hi. Right hand table. A Taggy player opens in the CO, the BTN & SB both call, and you call getting 7 to 1 with 64o in the BB.

I understand that you can call with a wide range receiving these odds, and that would possibly include any 2 suited and offsuit hands with reasonable connectedness.

Was this an easy call in the BB with 64o, or was it close to the bottom of your calling range getting 7:1 ?

Left hand table. You open raise 87o in the SB.

Would you ever consider just completing in the SB with any hands ? I know that DD has discussed this in some of his videos, so I dont expect an in depth answer.

Right hand table. You open T9o on BTN. The BB defends, calls flop, c/r turn & leads 63T45 river.

You fold the river unimproved because villain's turn c/r previously have been strong hands. You were getting 8 to 1 to call with top pair & average kicker.

What is the weakest hand that you think would have been reasonable to call down with ui from villain's turn c/r ?

Ty for another good video.

It was interesting to see you show the line which villain took in this 88 blind battle hand, which is less common for lower stakes.

I look forward to next week's finale.

yes, this is near the bottom of my range. i'd also call 54o. and yes, like you said, any two suited, any ace, any pair, any two cards seven or higher, and some various other things are calls here

i prefer to openraise any hand i want to play in this spot. at micro stakes i think it works fine as you're not going to be running into tough opponents against whom you might want to adjust (the dd openlimp strat)

something like KT or AT i think, where it's unlikely i'm losing to many Tx combos

I feel like if you're going to k/r the flop and b/c the turn, you need to k/f the river u/i against a lot of opponents. You've overrepresented your hand, in a way, so if you plan to showdown, then you need to k/c to showdown and bet the river if the turn checks through; you could also take a standard WA/WB and k/c the flop and turn and b/f the river. Thoughts?

If the turn were a deuce of purple horseshoes, could you ever find a fold?

if i could play it again i think just c/c c/c c/c is a fine line. at the same time, the hand is somewhat of a cooler, and just because i run into a hand in the top of his range doesn't mean my line is bad vs his overall range. that being said, c/c c/c is probably fine vs his overall range too, since he'll double barrel all of it most always

old school wa/wb of c/c c/c b/f doesn't really work/apply online vs aggressive opponents, because they can bluffraise or fold their barrel hand. i can't even recall the last time i took that line online

nope, not vs a somewhat unknown aggressive/taggy opponent online. with a great read/good sample size vs someone very ABC, maybe
