Poker Video: No Limit Hold 'Em by whitelime (Mid Stakes)

The Q9o hand. I think you played it well but wanted to comment on the river play. My first inclination was to overbet the river like you did but don't you think you will get looked up a lot lighter than normal because it is in fact blind vs blind? I mean you play so many hands that way. Q9 with a club, Q10 with a club, any pocket pair with a club or maybe without. Just seems a ton of your range is going to be gutshots and hands turned into bluffs. I like the play a lot more if it isn't the BvB dynamic. Thoughts?

emil, i dont see many worse AX that shove here so wouldnt be better to not take the flip (just flat his 3bet) and not create so much variance in your game, knowing that you def have a postflop edge over him in general?
is it the pot odds, image or what else?

What pocket pairs can I have? He probably just expects me to fold < 77 on the flop and 99 and TT I wouldn't turn into a bluff probably and are also a bit less likely since I'd 3-bet them some. It's really only Q9 and QT versus a value range of a bunch of flushes, straights, boats.

The AxQs hand on AKJssXs, i dont really get why the river is a c/f.
You said that you think hes gonna raise allot of hands on the flop that has you beat, except KJ.
River makes KJ a boat, but makes KJ also verry unlikely.
So issnt his range gonna be allot of air ?, b/c w a strong hand dssnt he have to protect his hand a bit more on the turn ?
I would like some more elaboration on this hand. thanks

I think 78s or something along those lines was right up his opponents alley. Whitelime chops with any ace so he gets back $600 for his $300 call, but his opponent rarely bluffs this spot so he loses a ton when the opponent doesn't have Ax. KJ doesn't make a lot of sense b/c I don't understand why he would want to min raise the turn and open himself up to a shove? It really narrows his range to a flush or A4 I guess.

yeah I think I agree with another poster, this is closer to a call than you indicated in the video. True you can be in trouble, but you are definitely doing fine agains the shorties range, and I think the insta-ship from this lag-fish is probably wide enough to call of 99. might be worth doing some stoving on the side, because it's probably close. Instinctively it seems like TT would be a call so 99 has to be pretty close.

At 43:00-ish, you call a 3-bet from ApobatesRacer with 89

I would think a fold is much better here, I feel like you dont have a gameplan with a hand like this to win you any money, espically out of position to Apobates and with a fish in the hand thats likely to stack off with any pair and taking away any folding equity you might have should you try to bluff.
