Interesting hand and bluff here. I am a live full ring player. If I were your opponent, I think I would agree with your assessment that 10 10+ is less likely in your range based on pre-flop action. If this is the case, doesn't the river shove polarize your range?

nice vid with some interesting hands.

he is a girl btw.

I'm not so sure that AK isn't in your perceived range here. You start the hand over 150bb deep and are facing a cold 4bet, so I don't necessarily think that every villain would expect you to just auto get it in with AK in this spot.

You might be right (in reality, it's not about 100% right or 100% wrong, it's about weighted range), but it's bt vs sb vs bb, so if there is ever a time I am auto getting in AK to a cold 4b, it's this spot. I believed it to be mostly the case at the time that he thinks I never have AK, but I don't think it's 100% or anything.

Hi Ansky, great vids. As a full ring specialist just wanted to chime in. 18/15 is actually pretty damn aggro for full ring. Nitty regs play like 12/9 or 13/10, more aggro regs are like 16/12, 17/13, 18/15. His 3bet and sqz are both also pretty high for full ring. The initial raiser seems possibly bad (20/8 over small sample) so I would be even more concerned about the 18/15 squeezing as he will probably not mind isolating the 20/8. Also the SB and BB both have aggro stats as well.

I would have rather 3bet or folded here, by 3betting at least you gain a stronger read on the raiser by his reaction, and you have position HU if you're called.

In that case I'd say always 3bet, can't imagine folding 98s.

Direct pot odds ? Correct if I am wrong. Pot gives you 18/18+33= 0,35= 35% equity needed. You have 12 outs times 2 which is 24% of equity. I see 11% of equity missing for you to say " we have direct pot odds to call".

Do you ever donk in this spot ? I do this all the time in a spot where I have tried everything in my power to keep the fish in pre and have flopped something and the pot is multiway. I think the reg plays straight forward and well vs donks but I don't mind that because all I am after is the fish.

I suck at math =) VS pot size bet on the turn you would get 33%. So when she bets closer to half pot it is ofc lower than that.

Pot 100. Some one bets 100. You get 2 to 1. Which means 1 out of 3 trials you need to win to break even. 1/3 = 33%

This same math is really hard if some one bets close to half pot.

Pot 33. She bets 18. You get 51 to 18. Which is 2,83 to 1. Close to 3 to 1. Which means 1 out of 4 trials you need to win to breakeven. 1/4= 25%

Okay I think I cracked it =) When someone bets close to half pot you need right around 25% to have direct odds to call. Here you have almost exactly that.

Seems fine to donk here.

I'd stay away from saying things like "... but I don't mind that because all I am after is the fish." You are after just making the most +EV play period, sometimes that might not be the one that makes your life easiest.

great video again, i really like how you talk in weighted fashion with game theory parameters. ill be sending you some nl50 6max or maybe some shots at nl100 6max this week thanks again
