DD ur ol' exploitive guy. If I didn't know better I'd say you want to raise Tc8c on the turn from a GTO standpoint .

AK on the turn. I say the raise is pretty marginal (but obv I don't know how ranges breaks down at the high stakes). It's pretty bad for him to donk JJ-TT twice IMO. Also AQ is pretty marginal. There are many hands we lose to: K9-8, KQ, AA-QQ, 88, JT, Q8s. We beat basically KJ-T and perhaps some Qx (the cheese we dont mind keeping in the pot obv). I actually think calling down is slightly better, given that he will pretty much re-raise all the hands that beats us (AA is the weakest. Allthough I agree that's spewy) and none of the hands we beat.

55 hand. I don't think it's 100% sure we should bet this turn actually. If we go through the different hands in villains range:

OC without a club: Give a FC to 4 outs if we check (or miss value if he calls, but then the FC doesn't matter).
OC with a club: Win a fracion of a bet.
OP without a club: Lose a fraction of two bets.
OP with a club: Lose almost two full bets.

Vs his capping range I say it's a bit close. Not that I hate a bet, butI think we must consider checking.

AA!
Nice to see a new highstakes player and his thoughts.

I don´t know if it is my PC, but the sound is like 4 seconds ahead of the picture.

the lag of the sound was skype i think, that's why we keep interrupting each other too

Was just about to post about the same thing. The picture is way behind the sound on the video which makes it hard to watch at certain points.

Hey skill, what are your HUD stats??

Is there anyway to get the audio better lined up with the video, I'm about 30 mins in it's only getting worse, the JTs hand was just talked about 'til the river and on the video he hadn't even been dealt it yet

I agree! I watched the first half and it was ok. But around the 30 min mark it sadly becomes close to unwatchable.

yup, from halfway out it's close to unwatchable.

Lots of good discussion going tho! Great video skill and DD!

Yeah the audio is way off but I was able to sync it with TheKMPlayer.
Good video besides this issue.

Sorry about the sound guys. I will have a new version up later tonight.

I couldn't follow starting aroung the 25-30min mark. Too bad.
Good discussion though. Not rating this video until it's fixed. 5 stars for content, 1 star for the audio sync problem. I guess most people feel the same as I don't see anyone who has rated the video yet.

BTW.. off topic, in the opening title of "I Has a Pear", what's up with the 22 call down? Is it me or does that call down seem way too light on that board?

Sorry about the sound guys. I will have a new version up later tonight.

thanks taz you guys

Good vid guys

K7s hand (not sure of time)

I agree with DD you def gotta c/r this turn on a TT67 turn. You will never get any credit from Ax here and there is so much value in your hand. I also think some of Doughnutz's weaker Ax or strong Kx hands will check back alot rivs here too thinking that you would have c/r a draw by now.

So i think you get a tonne of value and no respect with a turn c/r

Thoughts on Doughnutz switching seats all the time?

Poor form vs another reg?

OR

Maximizing EV and is ok?

Ive been tempted to do this alot but try not to do it often when there is other regs at the table or if i think it may scare away a fish

ya i agree on K7, i was playing so bad.


also i think doughnutz can do whatever he wants. i usually dont seathop because i think it's somewhat bad form, but w/e

I uploaded a new mp4 version, it's not perfect but it's the best we can get with the audio recording we made. I will post the wmv when it's done producing later today.

Thanks for your quick fix, Taz!

The wmv is now redone and uploaded. Enjoy guys.

You played fine mate. Its always hard when its being recorded and you have to answer questions while 2-tabling.

haha thx man, and yeah im for sure not used to talking&explaining what im thinking(lol i has a pear-->showdown) while playing. also not running too well bugged me a bit

Great Vid!!! I really enjoyed watching another high stakes player play

is there anyway to get the flash sound synced up better?

Wow, towards the end it lags around 20 seconds. So frustrating.

loldonkaments sais that he would usually never check call the flop here with an Ace or a 5. With this being the case, and playing against an aware player, wouldn't this make calling down with K high a losing play?

How are you playing your pocket pairs here?

Should we look to balance here by sometimes waiting till the turn to raise trips and Aces? Would maybe sometimes calling down our weaker Aces be giving up to much?

What is meant by poor form? I am always looking for the best seat and I notice that I am usually the only player who does this. I do this a lot more in live games since it is easier and I have never seen a problem with it. If I am moving it is because i believe there is a significant strategic advantage.

I have seen some regs who were previously pounding me with 3 bets preflop leave when I move to their left but rarely if ever see this with a fish.

Given a wide button opening range, no I don't think its super exploitable to be stubborn with king highs here. Just based on equity vs a steal range. I do think its a mistake to never play Ax or 5x this way, it somewhat depends how often you are CR bluffing this board texture too.

I think calling down our weak aces in this particular spot would be a bit too weak (button opening range), make the pfr the CO and I think its fine.

Well the school of thought is that in higher stakes, with smaller player pools there are two problems with jumping around seats a lot:

1) other winning players now realize you are gaining an advantage they are not taking, and if they decide to "keep up" you get a collective action problem where everybody is constantly jumping seats.

2) fish are not stupid, and see that people move to sit on their left, and may cause they to stop playing.
