Here Baluga asks whether we should keep betting if we lead out 77 and pfr calls on the 532 two tone board and turn is a blank like a 5, what about instead if we have something like 98 of clubs? Is it profitable to keep barrelling on the majority of the turn cards trying to represent sets and straights or not?

Best video of the series.

Keep up like that pliiiiz.

Great vid guys enjoyed it! I have a question about the 88 hand. You both recommended checking back here as a standard play vs an opponent that likes to 3b u a lot on these fairly connected boards. I agree with the notion that your hand may not be strong enough to call a 3b here but given that you are an aggressive player yourself, aren't you turning your hand face up by checking? For example put yourself in villains spot here, if aggressive button checks back here your not putting him on a draw because he bets 90% of the time so its either weak showdown value or air either way if you are button and you check back here you are giving any decent thinking aggressive opponent a license to 2 barrel you or value own you with a pair of 9's. I realize that pretty much every turn card for 88 is not good but in order to rep the widest range possible I think a bet call is best here. I feel that if villain 3 bet range is so wide that our hand has to call a 3b here. Given that if he continues to fire on any diamond turn you have to fold. Other than that you pretty much have to call turn and minus any river reads on your opponent fold to river bet. This is one of those very very tough situations in nl if you call this 3bet on the flop and maybe thats why you advise checking back but I am not sure if it is the best standard play against villain. I am not sure if any of this makes sense but please let me know what you think.

If you know your opponent understands that once you check back you are repping a very weak showdown value range of hands and he starts betting turn and river for thin value also as a bluff to get you off that type of hand.

You should check back top pair type of hands to be balanced and not fully exploitable here. Which can call turn and river bets.

However, generally those boards suck and there is not much you can do but give up some pots. If you play a lot of HU you will notice that some flops textures you just check behind and fold a turn lead because there is just not much you can do.

Great vid and great format! Your questions are rly good insyder, making very interesting discussions in spots that actually aren't that interesting.

I'd bet again w/ 89c and would bluff any 6, 5, or A on the river.

There's nothing wrong of having a range of weak showdown and air. You can check back the nut flush draw to balance it out sometimes but it's not even necessary. You just have to call down lighter sometimes to combat your opponent's barelling.

also remember that the biggest reason we're checking back 88 on the flop there often is because we're beat a whole hell of a lot. There's nothing wrong with folding the best hand occassionally provided that its the right thing to do against our opponents range (and, given that our opponents will often valuebet extremely lightly on the turn when we check back, 2nd pair and whatnot, we can usually just check back and then fold.) just combo wise there aren't *that* many combos of stuff that beats us relative to stuff that we beat.
