Poker Video: MTT/SNG by IWEARGOGGLES (Mid Stakes)

Holy shit that T3o hand. I've been laughing for good 10 minutes now... "he made the call and he just didn't have it this time"

If walchy 3b here to 24k instead of shoving are we still gonna get it in assuming bzjam folds?

Time Link to 01:01:15

Finaly leanred how to use this time link thingy, cool.

I really think raising this flop is kinda spew. You mentioned walchy has been playing tight so when he cbets the flop I expect him to have AK,KQ a lot of the time, and when bzjam flats I only think he's flatting with big draws such as Axhh I don't see a lot of Kx hands in his range after a utg raise, do you?

So by you raising even if walchy folds, bzjam can still shove with his monster draws that have you dominated. Basically what I'm saying is were never going to make it to the turn against bzjam here and are always going to be a dog when the money goes in against welchy, which I think will happen a lot.

What are your thoughts on just folding this after the cbet and call, is this something you would never do? This just feels like a bad situation to call the flop bet, and a bad situation to raise it.

BTW love the vid looking forward to part 2.

tbh I didn't really like the video

-) there are too many pauses and sometimes you speak really slow
-) it sounds like you just played a 48h session and are falling asleep during the recording
-) not that many interesting spots in this vids. just an online pro being a calling station and getting shown the bottom of villain's range
-) the T3o hand .. come on. you are telling us for 50 minutes how bad this guy is and you bluff him 3 streets with T high? yeah, him calling with 9 high makes you look like a superstar, but 99.98% of the time you are pretty much toast - especially since you have tagged him as a fish and fish don't fold pairs

the only thing I've learned in this video: if you spew chips and your opponents call you down with even worse hands, you win. ldo.

I think if he raised to 24k it would only be a bluff or light value 3-bet if bzjam had a wacky image. Walchy didn't seem like the type to 3-bet light so I think I can comfortably fold TT if he makes it 24k. I know I called every single other 3-bet but I'm confident with my read on him. 24k would be a purely tight value range whereas a shove adds a lot of hands that don't want to have to make a decision on the flop (maybe 88+, AJ or AQ+).

Walchy had been playing tight with his opens. That doesn't mean he is only cbetting two hands.

Some random points:

1) Walchy is c-betting more than AK and KQ. He's betting AA, KK, TT, 77, probably QQ and JJ, and a reasonable portion of air (definitely more than the 30 combinations or whatever of hands above.

2) Bzjam's flatting range isn't strong. His combinations of draws that beat me are AQhh, AJhh, QJhh. I don't think he's flatting any other heart combos. Maybe something like 89hh. I also think he'd raise the flop with a strong made hand like KT, 77, etc. Therefore I think a lot of his flop flatting range is weak top pair, AT type stuff.

3) I have 6 high.

4) Based on 2, I think I'm getting raised by bzjam a lot less than I thought I was in the video.

5) Referring to 3, I think I can get them to fold an absurd amount of better hands in their range. For instance I don't think bzjam would comfortably stack off with KJ (which is more a part of his range when he flats than AQ or AJhh in my opinion).

In essence I don't think bzjam would slowplay and I think I fold them out enough of the time to make raising > calling > folding.

I would never just fold the flop because neither of them have very many flush draw combos (an argument for flatting) so when I make my hand its usually good, but I don't think I'd be able to get much value as my hand would be face up for the most part.

I took the first 2 as valid points (and I thought I talked like a complete spaz on crack but did try to collect my thoughts before speaking) then I read the rest and it isn't very constructive imo.

Good post.

How would you play the turn where welchy folds and bzjam calls your raise with the following turn cards:

1. completes your flush
2. Is a brick that doesn't give you any extra outs.

To make it easy the pot would be about 180k, bzjam would have about 240k left.

nice vid - yeah you pause abit too much, but its worth it!

im a curius (spelling) guy, and whatn to know results to - remember to let us see, theyre final hands!!

when will part 2 come?

Holy shit that T3o hand. I've been laughing for good 10 minutes now... "he made the call and he just didn't have it this time"

It was a pure missclick as i said it in the CHAT...

IWEARGOGGLES is aware of this since we talked in the chat but it is more fun to just say I made the call.

I would never call 9 high. He shoved and I missclicked

I almost puked after the call !

Actually I was playing IWEARGOGGLES quite passive in order to trap him
(QQ etc)

He is very agressive postflop, he CBET all flop, raising all turn, playing with any card with position.

I'd say it's relevant to at least some degree, if for no other reason, for the fact that he open limped the SB with QQ early in a shorthanded game. If we could surmise that he was doing this because it was you specifically in the BB vs. someone else, of course it would be much more relevant, but either way still probably worth taking note of imo.

edit: I guess you meant irrelevant in the sense of, it wouldn't have changed how the hand played out. Makes sense. What do you think is the strongest hand that he folds on the turn? If you bomb the river?

Of course the SB limp with QQ was done in order to Trap IWEARGOGGLES

He was always very aggressive so I was trying to catch him

If he was bombing the river, I would have snap called

For those who think i am Fish please check my OPR

In this situation,(which is quite common)when you call his bet on the flop, then the 2nd jack comes (on the turn) if he does have over pair (which is what he is trying to rep, but also just c-betting) isn't it resonable to assume he put you on the jack on the flop (or a float), so my point is what do you expect him to do on the turn if A)he does have over pair B)he just has 2 overs C) he has a hand like AJ or HAND LIKE K 10.

Time Link to 00:12:54

based on the fact that u just showed down the KQ hand is there any merit in thinking that a 4bet might induce a lighter stack off for more value or do we assume that they assume that after we showed it down we will be less likely to 4bet bluff.

Time Link to 00:27:34

nuffin

Time Link to 00:37:53

there is a whole contingent of donkament pros who would flat that over at PXF.

Time Link to 00:40:31

while 6s are better then 2s dont u think that his shoving range would be tighter the second time, especially since he has blinds to go through and given ur propensity to call shoves lighter then most.

Time Link to 00:43:49

a bit of a generalized question i guess but do u ever pass up proper pot odds with stack preservation in mind

Time Link to 00:57:07

so in and out of itself do u think a squeeze in this spot with speculative PPs will generally show profit?

Time Link to 00:50:10

ROFL at the 9-high calldown. Nearly fell out of my chair. Shows why it's a bad bluff spot though - you'd been bullying him to the point where his range for calling down is literally napkins.

there is a whole contingent of donkament pros who would flat that over at PXF.

Oof. I'd never in a million years flat OOP with 34BBs or whatever I had. There is so much dead $$ in the pot and there is definitely merit in commenting that it makes the hand a million times easier to play.

while 6s are better then 2s dont u think that his shoving range would be tighter the second time, especially since he has blinds to go through and given ur propensity to call shoves lighter then most.

Yeah looking back at it a month or two later I think the first is probably a call and the 2nd is probably a fold.

a bit of a generalized question i guess but do u ever pass up proper pot odds with stack preservation in mind

Yeah but I'd definitely put less emphasis on it with 15BBs in a 6max tournament considering the speed you'll lose your stack via blinds/antes.

You should think about the merits of it in giant pots!

This is one of the greatest videos of all time, just because of the T3 hand. Literally laugh out loud funny.

I also think it is really lame of Bangaller to ruin the fun for the viewer by coming in here and saying it was a misclick. This is equivalent of telling kids that there is no Santa. Shame on you.

Why not showing your mistake hands, but only good ones? Its not possible, even if you are phil, playing without mistakes. And snd thing, is it you think that it is profitable to put yourself as very solid player, above all, and rest are fish? From the comentary its clear that you overvalue your solidness.

Time Link to 00:24:31

What is your plan on this flop when you check it ?

Why not showing your mistake hands, but only good ones? .

I'm not sure Iweargoggles thinks he played perfectly all these hands.

I speak only for myself if I say I switched this video off because of your pausing and intonation.
I personally am not interested if something is "a good bet against a player like you".
I hope good players like you improve their social skills to make a good video that people Want to see!

Time Link to 00:52:38

If you have a weaker hand or air would you make the 3B to 15k here to take it down vs his min raise opening range?

I like 1550 lol
