When you float the A67 board, why are we folding the turn?

I folded the turn because I wasn't getting the odds to call. Unfortunately while I did intend to float he double-barreled and while I will shove over that at times as a semi-bluff I just wasn't sure what to make of his 2 barrel. Also I had no idea what kind of fold equity I had to I just decided to fold.

open fold of A7o?

I folded the turn because I wasn't getting the odds to call. Unfortunately while I did intend to float he double-barreled and while I will shove over that at times as a semi-bluff I just wasn't sure what to make of his 2 barrel. Also I had no idea what kind of fold equity I had to I just decided to fold.

While we don't have direct pot odds, if he is double barreling with value hands, do you not expect to have any implied odds ?

ep 6 and we're still at 100NL?

I explain this in my episode 5 powerpoint.

You mentioned you had a read that he pots as a bluff, was it on the turn only? Looks like hes taking a stab on the river.

You also folded A7o to a min raise before this hand - this because he's a nit?

My note said it was on the flop/turn in 3bet pots. This very well could've been a bluff as his range is extremely polarized on this board but was just too unsure to make a hero call/bluff raise.

These types of opponents also accidentally merge there range every once in a while with a 9 or a small pocket pair.

Stars versus FTP, any real difference? Im assuming rakeback is a huge plus for FTP.

You mentioned table differences in how you join them and such, I thought FTP put some of them in as well.

I don't notice any real difference between them, the pot button makes a difference on the river against fish but other than that not much.

How so? To get value from them or because they over use it? hehe

Well a lot of the time, they'll pot the river on FT when it goes call/check on the flop and turn. This isn't that big of a deal since usually their range is extremely polarized but that's the main difference.

Also on earlier streets they can accidentally price you out of draws by betting pot.

I see you're folding hands like A9o and A8o to openraises.
I almost never fold those(I 3bet or call), is that a leak?

Not a leak, it's just generally something I don't do. I used to have a ton of trouble folding top pair which is a reason why I don't usually defend these hands.

your explanation regarding your (mistake) in 3betting is valid, yet I believe you underestimate his folding to 3bet stat, which is 75% at this time.
with a guy folding 75% to 3bets I think you adopt a false strategy at this point. First of all you are dominated by his calling range when 3betting hands such as KTs (border line) and JTo and secondly you miss a lot of value by not polarizing your range. I am convinced you know this, but it should be highlighted since it is pretty basic adjustment strategy that is overlooked at this point of the video.

Yeah really surprised I missed this point thanks for bringing it up.

^ Agree.

Don't know if you remember me, but I played you on stars today bosoxx @ 100nl. Just wanna say, awesome series and mad props. I do agree with the above poster though. Vs someone who is folding 3bets more than 60%, 3betting hands like QT, JT, KT and even QJ is a really bad idea imo since they're calling range will often dominate you. ALso, you need to include those hands in your pre-flatting range in order to c/r credibly for value.

Can you explain your thought process for 3betting A4o vs Kraxen here?

I really disagree with your play here because:

1) his calling range is so tight you're gonna be dominated so often when you flop an ace

2) A4o is just a really crappy hand to play postflop and there aren't going to be many value and semi-bluffing barreling opportunities. Only boards you can barrel are like Axx, which probably only gets 1 street of value; 44x, which is SO rare; and gutshot boards like 25x, 35x.

I've been playing a ton lately so don't remember the name.

Yeah this was a mistake, going back to your previous post I don't do a real good job with my 3betting range throughout the past couple episodes. It's almost as if I go a few hands without 3betting I tend to do it with any decent hand.

With that said, many people at 100nl will play pretty fit or fold HU in 3bet pots especially when firing 2 so I've been able to get away with it somewhat. However as I move up it's something I really need to focus on.
