Poker Video: Limit Hold 'Em by BigBadBabar (Mid Stakes)

i would always give up here on the river vs this guy with the T8 on the right table. Your explanation for 3barrelling seems reasonable give a K or A falls , even then i think hes going to be raising and or calling lots when either of those two cards come.

agree, i don't like firing twice and just checkfolding bricks too often as a default but this seemed like a good situation for it

Yo BBB,

I am glad our play and commentary is SO expert that no one has any questions or comments on any of the hands in the video. We run this.

AQo on left at 6:00.

stoving this now and have stoved this in the past.

When all weak Ax are still in villain's range, I vbet down to AQ. If villain may fold AT/AJ/lowPPs on the river or if he call with any Kx, I would probably bet AJ/AT too.

K9o on left at 17:20.

I b/f flop. We are not getting the price to peel and we have bad RIO. We cannot turn a good str8 draw and have zero fold equity verses this passive villain.

Q7o on right at 53:00.

We get x/c,x/r by villain on JJ7,2 turn.

My default line in this situation, with a paired board and turned third flush card below our pair (esp since our kicker is good), is to blindly call down barring clubs. We beat a lot of worse 'value' hands with a kicker.

44 on the right at 50:25.

MP ol, we complete sb w 44, bb checks.

Flop Q57rb.

How would you play 54s on this flop? How about 98s?

Come on - we all know 54 is the same hand in this spot.

98 I'd lead because even though it's a worse hand in an absolute sense I figure to have decent outs/equity and pick up the pot sometimes on a bluff. With 98 villains can fold better. 44/54 that's really not going to be true very often.

Q3o btn on left at 7:30 vs. aggro villain.

Do you ever fold this pf verses an aggro villain HUHU? J3o?

i can fold j2, j3, maybe j4 hu but i don't fold any queens, just for high card value really

I know what you're saying and I'll admit there is some value in picking up information on a guy who we have none on. That said, we might just get information that we kind of already had (i.e., dude is tight, has a hand here). I just really feel his semi-bluffing range is going to be substantially closer to non-existent than you think it is here.

if I recall, this guy was completely unknown (we don't know he's tight), and I don't think he's "semi-bluffing" w/o a pair often, it's just that we beat a lot of those pairs and can easily fold club rivers.

I would semi-bluff using his line on that board.

In 19 hands he hadn't clicked the button on the right once yet pre or post flop. I would consider that sufficient information to guide some of my decisions. I'm not really worried about whether or not we beat pairs - I'm worried that we lose to trips and flushes.

We aren't getting set odds, have the worst position at the table, and will not get excessive postflop action from these passive villains. If we should just be c/f these hands on this board, as you say, then I would rather fold pf.

Baby pairs get weaker in my mind the more I study LHE.
