What made you call a 3b with A5dd IP?

What made you call a 3b with A5dd IP?

that guy was 3 betting way too much from the SB and doesn't 2 barrel turn.

On this ATo hand when you c/r the river. It seems like you probably wouldnt want to do this vs a good hand reader just because his percieved range is weak and also it is hard for you to really have anything here also. I think you would either be c/r flush draws on the flop a decent amount or just lead the river once you hit so seems like you could get looked up light here a lot. You didnt 3 bet pre either so its hard to rep AQ or over pairs and even if you did have these hands would you actually go for a c/r on the river with them. Do you actually have that wide of a value range here on the river? I know I would be super polarized in this spot. Also if i was raising for value I think I would make my raise size slightly bigger like 30 or something. I think whether you make it 24 or 30 you should be polarized in this spot. IF your not polarized here than i guess 24 is fine. idk I could be way off

Even though you might be able to make the assumption that his c-bet range is somewhat polarized, doesn't that flop hit his utg range a bit too hard to be attacking it with a one and done? If you assume he doesn't c-bet his marginal made hands there, a raise only folds out air and how much of his c-betting range in that spot is actually air? I'd think that this was a spot where you should either fire 3 barrells or c/f flop.

He has loads of hands that will fold to a raise including any pp under TT and all Axs unpaired hands minimum. One and done is the right strategy vs polarized cbetting ranges unless they start playing back with their air. c/r then triple barreling vs someone who has a polarized range is sucidal because they have no weak hands in their range once they get to the turn.

what would be your plan on a blank turn if he c/c?

I don't think that this guy will ever give up a bluffcatcher if he calls once.
Would you consider calling or raising a river bet if turn goes check check?

You're saying that he's kind of starting to spazz a bit, so you wanna start 3betting him depolarized. In the next session you play him, would you then start out 3betting him depolarized aswell and adjust only if you see a difference in his pattern? Or step back and go from there?
thx EJ

give up on blank turn most of the times. I wouldn't c/r or c/c the river because the guy seems tilted and won't fold much. Next session I will start with depolarized range since he seems to call 3 bets.

What about shipping pre here? Since we know we get a ton of folds and we have about 34% equity vs any pair besides AA. Yeah it sucks when he flips over AQ,AK... but as much as he has been 3betting I doubt he has them very often. Also 1 more? I have found myself shipping in this spot with similair hands on occasion, should we first find out if hes polarized and then ship? So im guessing to ship here it would be better if hes polarized right? Or possibly Im just spewing here by shipping, but im most likely doing it cause I dont play as well as you do post flop.Thanks. And great Vid!

Jamming preflop is likely spew without knowing villain's calling range to your jam. You're risking 97BB to win like 20BB and have 30% equity vs his calling range which means he needs to fold around 65% of the times. If he's calling with TT+ and AQ+ then he needs to be squeezing you around 13% for your shove to break even. I think 4 bet/folding is better than just straight shoving in this spot.

You should understand basic math in these spots before anything else. I recommend those who still don't feel comfortable with preflop math to work on that aspect of their game first.

In the A8s hand you said that you'd shove 99 preflop.

What other hands are you shoving in that spot against that particular opponent? AQ+, 77+, or even looser?

And thanks again for another great episode!

And another question about the very same hand.

Are you always overbet jaming the river there on nl100 vs a rather unknown aggressive player with the assumption that he is not a good handreader?

you are awesome! i like seeing the live play personally as opposed to hh, my 2cents for next week.

I'd jam any PP and AQ preflop in that hand and I'd jam every river once he takes that line.
