Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by linkwood (Micro/Small Stakes)

Great video!
Scenario 1: The 55 hand when the K land on the river. What do we doing if the river is the 5 of diamond and he bets out?

Scenario 2. What do we do if the river is the 5 of diamond and he checks, we bet and he raise us?

Would be veru pleased for an answer!

Scenario 1 probably just call. It feels gross but I doubt we can get much value from worse. If we had a read that he's bad we can raise/fold.

Scenario 2 probably fold most of the time. Guy's don't c/r with worse very often, if at all.

When we analyse villain's range on the flop here, we obviously come to the conclusion that 95% of time or so, villain will not have a monster hand here. If we expect him to 3bet KK, and usually fold 22 and 44, and never call preflop with K2/K4/24, then for the most part the best hand villain can have here is KQ, and a lot of time it's mid PPs or broadway that didn't connect with the board. Given this info, do you think a good plan for the hand on the flop is to triple barrel, regardless of whether we pick up equity or not? If we conclude that villain never has a very strong range here, doesn't this mean that a large percentage of the time he isn't going to check-call 3 streets with his marginal strength hands, thus making a triple barrel extremely profitable with almost ATC in this spot? Not sure whether I'm giving 25NL regs too much credit for being able to fold TP type hands by the river.

Would be interested in your opinion on this linkwood, tyvm.

3barreling sometimes def would be good as long as we know they can fold. But its likely that there's enough PPs that he would fold to make it profitable.

NICE!

I think Linkwood did such a good job with this video explaining range defining, range narrowing, and how to just take a moment to interpret what you opponents actions mean that I had to post a response. (This is the 1st video I've ever posted a response for). IMO he did that good.

At 43:00: The As9h:

Why would a set raise a 3-flush-turn?

If I had a set there, I would expect to get called by made flushes, and fold air and non-flush hands. At that point I'd use my set as a bluff catcher by calling the turn, and maybe the river.

(Obviously, with the actual river, I'd bet/shove.)


I ask, not because I think I'm right, but because your comment indicates a flaw in my thinking and I hope to understand why I'm wrong.

I think what I meant to say is that he would have bet the flop with most sets, so we can discount them very much because of that, plus he will raise sets some decent % of the time on the turn, to protect his hand means that a set is very, very unlikely.

One thing I would say about your thinking in general, is if we have a set and villain checked the flop as the pfr then we can expect him to have a flush draw on the flop rarely, meaning that our hand is the best hand the overwhelming majority of the time. Plus, if you think about the hand range that raises pf and then checks the that flop it has lots of showdown type hands. So he doesn't have a ton of air in his range most of the time, making bluff catching less good against your average reg. Raising allows you to get value from the part of his range that is now a combo draw (pair + draw) or big flush draw (Asx or Ksx), both might call a raise. It also gives us the betting lead so we don't have to make tough decisions on certain rivers (e.g. we can check back spade rivers if we want).

Like most of us, I will watch a video series for several different reasons. I may be a big fan of the coach, a series was highly recommended on the forums or on another video or a series was devoted to a particular topic that I was particularly interested in at the time. For some unexplained reason I just randomly selected this video from a coach I wasn't familiar with and started watching. Am I glad I did!! Definitely one of the most beneficial videos that I've watched on DC. Looks like I've found another coach to follow around. Great Job!!!!!
