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

I play weird.

I don't know how to use the timeline thing but at minute 29 on the 43T flop, I think a big portion of the TAGs coldcalling range is going to be 55-99 that doesn't want to fold but really doesn't want to put anymore bets in. In general I think most people can get away from a hand like AK here pretty often facing 2 bets on this flop... although I will admit that 2 overcards to the T with the Ah probably call here as well.

So ya I wouldn't rule out him having a better hand than us.

I'd definitely be interested in hearing more of your thoughts on why you may not bet the K here vs a strong aggressive well balanced player in this spot.
I imagine our 3betting range in the SB pre-f vs an utg opening player like this is still heavily weighted to the top of our range since he opened utg and has position on us so when we check on the turn whilst we may look a little weaker we still are holding many showdownable hands though it's still unusual at least for us to check on the turn with much so it can definitely throw off our opponents though I would think you have better reasons for choosing to check here then just 'it will throw our opponents off'.
I think i'd still often be betting most of my value hands here in a somewhat defensive manner though as I'm not sure what to think of my opponents range when he then bets or checks the turn in response to my sudden river check. I'm not sure what a good player will commit to barreling 2 streets with or if they'd value bet a worse pair for 2 streets.
I'm think my thinking here may be off though so I'd definitely be interested in hearing your thoughts.
Good video! Feel free to make each one 4 hours long, I wouldn't complain.

I agree with Oba here. Without any specific info on how tight the button is I would be putting these hands into the buttons calling 2 range. No one enjoys folding AK and especially not on a flop like this.

Woooops sorry just re-read. I think most people can'T get away from AK here personally. With 2 overs to the T, one of which is the Ah I think folding on the button would be wrong if the SBs raising range contains some small card draws and maybe even some Ahi's like A5 that are trying to isolate the SBs donk.

Just as when we recorded I lost a little track about all the great points Rob throw out here, so he might have said this already regarding the bc-xr line...

I think a line of xr turn xc river when we miss can be considered aswell.

Aswell as the 8 is good for us it improved a lot of his range aswell. He is NOT folding a pair or draw and can't resist betting it on the river when we check IMO. So there might be some hidden value in this line vs the xr-b line.

If he folds 2 overs on this flop to BG and the Donker, I think it's a mistake. I also don't think he folds Ax (over T) on the turn or obv any 2:hearts: og mid PP.
He also peels the flop with hands like J9,J8,(J7),QJ,Q9,Q8,KQ,KJ,K9, I think. And he will def. slowplay a monster here. I'm not even sure he is going to raise overpairs on this flop vs those exact 2 player.
