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

I've been pretty disappointed that all the DC vid's don't have the intro animations anymore, but this one made up for it

If you want to play pots with both the PFR and the BB, but think 3-betting is borderline I think cold calling hoping to invite the BB in is a good option. Were playing against 2 weaker players, so even if you were worried about balance, I don't think its an issue here as opposed to against a competent PFR.

Another spot where I think we can consider cold calling pre. We have a hand plays well multiway and not quite strong enough to 3-bet. With 2 weaker plays in the blinds I think we'll often see this pot 4-way.

I don't think a hand like QJ/A5 ever folds when we bet this turn, so I think our fold equity is slim to none (KJ/KQ probably folds). That said, I think he probably bets most of his better hands and checks most of his worse hands, so maybe betting ourselves is better? Its not great getting raised though.

talking about the A7hh? it's kinda neat, if he calls with that kind of stuff it's okay - we're getting value, and if he folds then we're happy too because he's folding a decent amount of equity in a reasonably sized pot. we still have okay equity even vs a raise so i'm not super worried about that. but yeah i think we're coming from the same place in that if we check he can play pretty well against us, with one bet going in all the times he wants it to, whereas if we bet then usually it's still going to be just one bet going in, but in a lot of situations where he would prefer a free card. so it seems like that would be more favorable for us
