You discuss this spot in the forum: barrelling vs. c/c, but in the video you mention check-raising.

In what situations do you think c/r this spot is optimal?

w/100bb stacks our river play will very tricky, so are we limited to crai the turn if we take this line? (seems kinda risky in a vacuum/ vs. Tag ok)

or can we c/r and c/f a river; call off vs. 3b? ewww.. (if vill. calls c/r he should be calling much of his range off on the river for ~3:1)

w/150-200bb stacks, vs. what players would you suggest, and what bet sizing? + river plans vs. various cards

I have been concocting some various player types/bet sizing amnts, but am interested to hear your analysis before i start throwing these around.

edit: actually you clarify some of this post 1 (oops), but still some expansion on this play would be great.. i.e. no limper involved
This is a really interesting hand...

c/r is good if villain has a decent bet/folding range. Here he'll just check back his 2nd pairs and bet/calls kings so a c/r is horrible. With deeper stacks I'd still just barrel to get him to fold his 2nd pair type hands. I might go for a bet check bet line vs some playertypes as this will get them to fold their 2nd pairs regardless, and when he bets turn I might c/r jam river with deeper stacks to get them to fold Kx, but that really depends on my image and wether they like bluffcatching or not.

With no limper involved his callingrange pre weakens and so does my perceived raisingrange. A turn c/r now gets better as he'll have more floats in his range.

It's in the default layout. If you don't have it, you turned it off.

HUD Options, player preferences, Appearance, Number of pots: 3

In that same window is also "show note icon" in case that's what you were talking about and not the HH window as your timelink seemed a few seconds off.

Part 4 is a pain in the ass, I might have been a bit over ambitious with my plans for this one. It'll be released as soon as it's done. I haven't had much opportunity this week to work on it, tomorrow I'm free all day. The second half of the series will run every other monday in the next season which starts the 21st. I'm not sure wether it'll run the first or the 2nd monday of the new season yet, so it's either gonna be the 25th or the 1st.

Awesome series so far and probably worth the 30$/month even if you wouldn't watch anything else. Anyway my take on the quiz at the end:
Villain never has 7x or an overpair (assuming he raises an overpair on the flop as long as tp, and even if he doesn't, he doesn't snap act since he's pretty strong and the turn deuce improves his hand).
He never has 2x since he snap calls the turn, and he's probably not value betting the river since he snap bet. If those reads are all accurate his range is 100% missed straight draws; { T8s+, 98s, T8o+, 98o }
We need approx 25% equity to call and so the worst hand we should call with is T4 (has 40% equity vs that villains range, 98 has only 13%).

What do you think? Smile

The answer to the quiz was supposed to be at the start of episode 4, Rusty must have overlooked the small 2nd videofile I send him. I'll make sure it's at the start of the next episode.

In response to the question at the end of the video about the aggro donk, I think he has a missed str8 draw and the weakest I would call is Jx high.

in the 99 hand I was confused why you didnt 3bet for value vs the Button or do you ususally call all PP 22-99 in sb and 3bet TT-AA. and you back raised bc you assume the BB is doing that with a lot more hands than 99+ AK AQ?
