Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by DeathDonkey (High Stakes)

Hey guys, great vid as always. As for future vids in this series, I'll just toss my vote over toward a flush draw discussion. AK unimproved is great too though.

Could I also make a suggestion? How about "What to do when you're out of position on an A high board?" If that's too specific, any discussion of A high turns and rivers when you don't have an A would be interesting.

GREAT suggestions. I'll definitely compile all the "trouble spot" suggestions people have given as we figure out a second season.

When you say here that you can tell a lot from an opponent who barrels here, you mention that you'd adjust by calling down a lot lighter.

So using this hand as an example, if you were in the BB with Qx and had noticed the SB being someone who has barreled hands like this in the past, would you consider showing down Q-hi unimproved? I feel like I've been in a ton of spots like this with really wide ranges and I'm having trouble deciding where the line of calldown vs. give up is.

Yes, I'd consider it, especially if SB is not prone to "bluffing" with stuff like ace high, which is something I am very apt to take a note on (when someone seems to have a non polarized bluffing range I want to know to avoid costly accidental bad calldowns, and might employ the rare bluff raise). I also think if you just took the average fish, he would bluff twice but not 3 times, but its obviously stakes / site / fish dependent.

What's the worse hand you would consider value betting on the river after the turn gets checked?

I realize in practice this question might be a bit odd as our range might not have some of the stronger hands because we didn't PFR. Maybe just imagine we theoretically got dropped into this spot with a hand. Or that this is one of the few times we have limped a strong hand to mix up our play.

I'm assuming that if you had limped KQ or A7 here you would have played it similarly to this point, but let me know if that isn't true. Part of the reason I'm asking is because I don't think many villains have A high here often after the non PFR and because many people fire/vbet the turn w/ A high on a board like this. Would you agree with that?

Or is the pot just too small for us to really consider this almost ever / is there just more value in inducing?

Those super super tiny pots are weird because its like neither player should really have anything or do anything. You can steal those pots a lot with a river bluff, but inducing a river bluff is so profitable too that its a tough choice when you have a hand with some value. I think I'd probably bet any 3x hand and check most other things.
