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

i don't know how you do that time link stuff. so 37:10.
what would you do with JJ hand on the flop if the opponent ck/raises?

Watch this short video, and leave a time link.

That will be much easier for the coaches to find the hand and answer your questions, thanks.

Early in the video you make a 5bet shove w/KT(?) because you just expected villian to be bluffing. Is this kind of ' i really think hes bluffing here so il shove' common at 400nl ? For a 2 tabling high intensity player it might be but on average is 5bet bluffing at all common or a practise you think you should be advising to 100nl players

I usually 4-6 table when I'm playing midstakes but the thought process isn't exactly "hmmmmmm ! I think he's bluffing! 5b any hand!" there's usually some anticipation or history with the opponent and usually you'll have adjusted your 3b/5b range to include hands you either want to bluff with (like pairs b/c they have good equity vs. a calling range) or hands for thinner value than you would normally stack off with w/o the previously mentioned information.

here in the video I made the bold assumption that I was getting 4b bluffed because it was very early in the sesh and one of his first button raises (along with my early 3b) and there's also a chance he knows my sn and thinks I'm a scrub, so I felt the needs to put the dogs on him and 5b jam K9 def not standard though.

as far as suggesting 100NL players run amuck 5b jamming trash I do not condone but if you REALLY feel like you're getting bluffed and you didn't anticipate it, use the force luke, what's the worst that can happen? your lightsaber clips your hand and your opponent thinks you're spewy and retarded? if you're not doing it every day in every way you'll be fine (might even get paid a few stacks in return if you don't bluff that guy for a while).

I do condone 100NL players considering what adjustments they should make vs. players who 4b more often, especially if they want to move up a couple of levels. the fact of the matter is that there are a lot of people who are very comfortable 4b bluffing at 100NL and you should get comfortable both 4b'ing and combating 4b's in general.

I think you missed my questions FJ , also add into them do you flat his 4bet w/AA in that spot.

seems like a pretty nice spot to slowplay yeah, considering I think it's good enough to rambojambo airballs

what would you do with JJ hand on the flop if the opponent ck/raises?

if you're referring to the JJ hand on the 556 (I think) I'd snapfold to a nit or a loose passive (unless the nit had shown himself to be super bluffy postflop b/c he knows he's a nit) if I had a read that the player liked to c/c hands like KQ/AQ/AJ on the flop I'd probably fold because that cuts down on his likely bluffing hands, especially if he's not peeling stuff like 78s OOP (cuts down on his bluffs as well). basically I ask myself a few questions:

1. who is this guy? what type of player am I dealing with?
2. if I'm behind, how likely is it that I can make a hand that catches up?
3. do I know anything about any of his postflop value/bluffing lines or ranges?
4. do I know anything about how often (and on what cards) he likes to continue bluffing or where he gives up?
5. is he adjusting to me in any way?

there's a bunch more stuff I could list out but you guys get the idea. think dynamically.

thanks the great reply. one thing: if an aggressive reg will bluff you with missed sets or semi-bluff draws, how tough of a spot is that really? if you know hes bluff happy, it doesnt seem that tough. i.e. cant you just bet/call or bet/3bet?

this depends greatly on you guessed it, your opponent! if his bluffing frequency is really out of line because he knows you're folding as strong as top pair a lot, then you're getting pwned, so if you knew he was doing that you could re-pwn him by not folding. it becomes tough when he's coming from a more balanced perspective and not just trying to rape exploit you. if he only sprinkles those bluffs in you can be folding the best hand a fair amount, or paying off hands you have very few outs to improve against. observation and experience is key, but yes this really can be a tough spot and it doesn't get any easier as you move up in stakes

Isn't the suited Ax a call preflop, given that you're 200bb deep with Kraxen and closing the action?

it's not a bad spot to call, not a bad spot to fold, you can do whatever there. it's true that I'm 200bb deep with krax but the fish only has a half stack so implied odds go down a bit there. I'm going to have to play pretty straightforward postflop in this scenario so I opted to fold.

if our opponent is good enough to balance his value raise/bluff frequency to the point where its a tough spot for us, then don't you think he is good enough to balance his multi street value bet/bluff frequency vs your checks as the pfr as well?

not necessarily. everyone's different. everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. maybe he balances it and doesn't even realize he's doing it well, maybe he's really good at this particular spot but sucks at barreling. maybe he perceives our checks as the preflop raiser differently on different boards etc. and reacts in an exploitable manner.

very good point; however, you dont have any information about which line is going to put you in a tougher spot, so in the absence of information shouldnt you just err on the side of value betting/aggression when you can certainly get value?


thanks for the great discussion btw

np that's what we're here for

yes you should normally err on the side of value betting without information, but sometimes you should toss a curve ball in there and I like to do that in spots where I'm likely to be put in a tough spot by a player that likely isn't weak, even if I have no reads.

think about all the info you have on villain so far, about all the hand combinations they can have that just fold that flop. think about all the hand combo's that are likely to raise. think about which hands are just stone calling you down until the board runs out like shit, they've outdrawn you, or they've decided you aren't bluffing. then decide whether or not you want to throw a check in there vs. this villain to avoid a potentially tough spot and maybe induce bluffs it's not an exact science, there's a combination of experience, observation, and anticipation all working together but if you're constantly paying close attention to more and more information, you'll notice a lot of good spots that you didn't before (for all kinds of plays).

nice
