Did you notice your "wheel" outs in your A2o hand on the right table ? Even though your straight outs might not be clean, perhaps there may be enough value to call the turn bet ?

I think that I would have preferred a flop cold call with the Q8o as villain as opposed to his check 3-bet.

After another player bet and you then check raised the flop, I think it would be reasonable for him to consider that one of you has a Jack. So, his raise may only clean up outs for someone else's better hand.

Also, even though these players seem weak, I would have expected anyone with 2 overcards AK,AQ or KQ to have probably raised preflop. And I would not have expected anyone with Ax or Kx to call 2 bets, even though these players are loose.

Having said that, sometimes these players did seem to be either spazzy or bluffy ! So if he did not have a read on your being a good player, his flop check 3-bet with possibly the best hand then starts to seem ok in a reasonable sized pot.

Another very good video, and enjoyed the format again of your playing followed by hand history analysis.

Yeah, I'm not getting a good price though - only 5.something to 1. Figure three outs for fours, two outs for deuces, maybe an out or two for aces -- something like 6-7 outs, at this price I don't mind the fold.

Upon watching it again now I see that he tanked for a while on the flop before making his decision. If he thinks I will be checkraising a lot of 8x hands on the flop, then I think his 3bet makes sense since he has a pretty good kicker with his 8, and can also get position, knock out a lot of combined outs against him, the pot is big, etc.

What's your plan if Villain raises the river and you 3! bet with your straight (J T)? That's pretty sick if he 4!, and I don't think calling is profitable. I think that in close spots like these, if you choose to raise, you need to fold to a fourth bet against most players. Raising then becomes more of an "if," as in if you can make a tough laydown then raise, otherwise call.

"Walking implied odds factory." You make me lol, big elephant. I'm happy to see you're not getting BBQed this entire video, although the runbad at the beginning was mildly entertaining.

A 7

If you got heads up against the pre-flop 3-bettor and you had, say, 2 instead of 7, would your decision to continue be impacted at all?

in looking at it again i don't think a river 3bet would be best, since i'd have to be making lots of assumptions about villain's range, like that villain would have semibluffed flush draws earlier in the hand, or raised at some point with two pair/sets.

heads up i think i'd be peeling with both

question hand where it was limped 3way to you with 73 in the bb and you flop the bottom end of an oesd and fold to one bet from aggro-tilting player - getting 4:1 (but not closing the action) - I was thinking with implieds you would be able to see a flop?

edit: the flop was T 9 8

yeah, tiny pot, and seems like an icky situation. i'm drawing to the bottom end of it, with a flush draw out there, and no pair outs to count on. i'm also not closing the action and could be trapped in between the other players. instinctively i feel like a fold is slightly the best play. there are lots of lil ways we could tweak my bottom end oesd hand to make it stronger -- give me a diamond or an overcard to go along with my 7, for example.

it's also a spot where sometimes i make my hand and am still beaten or am getting freerolled, which is obviously a terrible situation to be in
