What do people think the opponents calling range is for calling the turn on the on Ad3x2d Jd board? What does he pot bet the river on the Ad3x2d Jd 6x board?
I was thinking about this hand more later on and as played once we get to the river it's very plausible that the average player at 25plo isn't turning a hand with a nutblocker into a bluff on the river or valuebtting thinly with lower flushes, so I think I'd only want to check raise river here with the nut blocker. Having the lower flush perhaps isn't that relevant as a blocker effect if he isn't betting non-flushes on the river. What I was saying in the video could be totally wrong depending on range assumptions so I'd like to hear what people would think about that.

Oh, I want to clarify my comments regarding Australian Internet, just in case. I only joked about that because EVERY Australian friend I have, has at one point or another complained about the internet service there! I have not yet visited myself, to see if it truly IS that bad...

I have been there many times for work and I can complain as well. It's pretty much a given that every hotel charges $25 AUD (same as USD or CAD pretty much) for 24 hours, and sometimes $25 AUD just for a set amount of MB which you can blow through in an hour if you are downloading anything. That's just obscene. And your $25 internet is 3rd-world slow. I've stayed in about 15 different hotels there over the years and only 1 has ever had free internet.
Sorry to Orestto for your video thread derailing but the world must know about this unfortunate plight of the Australians.

Do we really feel QQxx has that little value in a multi-way limped pot at these stakes? I feel as if villains in general play WAY too many small pairs for limps and have no ability to get away when we set-over-set them. Not to mention it's really rare we make a hand that costs us a ton 'cas we either hit or we don't. I dunno, I have just found that hands like this are a super cheap way of punishing the standard 45+/5 villains you find at 25PLO. Obv if we have stats on the guys in the pot we can adjust, but as a matter of course I think QQxx is pretty profitable in this game, especially from the button.

I'd definitely limp along most QQxx on the button there. Would definitely fold some to a raise, as well as in early position and the blinds. But yea, for the reasons you mentioned I'd call along there. I think Jacks and especially Tens are significantly weaker (although not as much on the button).
