its not that interesting when you just show hands where you flop sets, boats and quads.
*sips haterade*
okay. there is some other stuff in here. maybe ill watch the entire video before talking shit next time!
i dont really understand why you sort of mock fyoudubby, saying he "thinks he is reading hands well", but at the same time pat yourself on the back for repping exactly what he thinks you have.
good vid.

Well I liked it loads.
Sure we could have seen lots of hands where you miss your set, and your suited cons hit nothing. But what use would that be? What is more important, as we play like nits, is to know how to build the pot once we hit, how to defend against draws and how to use our image to represent hands we have not got.
Excellent.

I wasn't really mocking him, I was mainly just noting that he chatted something like "nice set" which I think is silly and doesn't serve any good purpose (especially if you're wrong). Most of the reason I was able to make that move was that he was a solid regular who could (hopefully) make big laydowns with hands like KQ, AK, or AA there.
And yes I was definitely patting myself on the back for repping exactly what he thinks I have. Thats the point of a good bluff!

at 44:24 you play 78cc you give the impression that you think villain has AA yet you call his all-in as a 58 42 underdog. Is this really a good play?

I liked this video because each hand except the first one is a case study in its own right and am sure it will pay dividends to study not just the hands but also the underlying concepts at depth.

Its a no brainer from where I am sitting, he must be getting something like 3-1 pot odds by the time the all in happens.

I don't know he has AA, but I know that I've got great equity against most anything (47/53 against AA with no club, 43/57 against AA with a club, probably similar against just about any one-pair hand) and my bet-3bet line may often get him to fold a top pair or overpair hand, since I was in the BB and could have any 2. Also, I'd play any 2-pair or set the same way, so if you're familiar with G-bucks, then I'm actually a favorite overall range-wise.
Board: Tc 6h 2c
Dead:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 29.615% 29.62% 00.00% 12314 0.00 { AcAd }
Hand 1: 70.385% 70.38% 00.00% 29266 0.00 { TT, 66, 22, T6s, T2s, 9c8c, 9c7c, 8c7c, 62s, 5c4c, 5c3c, 4c3c, T6o, T2o, 62o }
So AA isn't looking so good now, eh? The main point I was trying to make is that you should generally be more cautious with your big pairs postflop when you go for a limp-reraise and whiff. I had another hand set to go in the video but the converter didn't work for it. I think it also shows that concept pretty well:

I understood your main point about playing AA. I guess I just got confused about your talking about his AA hand before the hand started and was only using AA as his range against us. Thanks for the explanation. I thought the video itself was great. I would have loved this series 6 months ago. Now that I joined DC I have been only playing 6 max, as almost everything seemed more geared to that. As an aside I want to say to you guys that the site is fantastic. Almost every video has good clear content and a purpose for being on the site , other than take up space. I sincerely believ that this is the best coaching/forum site on the net.

I play full ring, I think this series is great and it has really helped me a lot. I've watched and re-watched basically every hand and analyzed them all as best as I can. I think I got a lot out of it due to the easy to understand format. More full ring please :)

Nice showing of! Now I know why I can't win; I don't flop enough sets or quads!

Thanks for the great series. I would love to see more full ring videos as well to gear up for more live play during the summer.
I have one question about the video: In the hand with 33 vs KJ (min 30) how would you play this postflop from the villain's perspective? Your limp/ call preflop screams pocket pair so with this low flop the check behind is probably good. When he hits the king on the turn and you check what would you do if you were him?

I'd probably bet the turn most of the time, but if the villain was very straightforward and unlikely to give action I might check behind and try for one bet on the river. Once checkraised, I'd either fold or call depending on the villain's aggression, and I'd rarely stack off the river unless he was a maniac bluffer.
