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

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.

ep 6 and we're still at 100NL?

open fold of A7o?

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?

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 ?

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 explain this in my episode 5 powerpoint.

open fold of A7o?

Yeah this was a misclick. I was in a hand on the right and must've just not been paying attention.

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.

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 ?

I do and it's definitely close with implied odds. It's another spot where I'd have to do the math in my next review as I'm not sure I made the right play here.

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.

Hi,
you guys ought to inform the villain that the session is being recorded, I'd focus a lot more Fwiw Im not really hu reg, this was my third day playing hu.

"obv" at the end was result of me being tilted. Me being tilted was result of me fucking up river in the 97dd hand. Sry. If nothing else, I should thank you, cuz I was very -ev at that point vs you.

94o call was misclick, I wasnt THAT tilted.

78s hand..tbh I'd bet river if I could credibly rep Jx (if turn and river were lower than Jack, I'd bet). I prob wouldnt bet the river even if I whiffed, just because Ace makes it harder to rep too much and you never have air, so I'd have to put my whole stack in and I had no idea if you will fold weak jack.

Double float on Axx board near the end..I mean, I dont like to fold flops in 3bet pots and picked up fd on the turn. I figured you can double barrel from time to time. But yeah, I should be calling 3bets a lot less.

I guess my biggest leak is calling 3bets and cbets in 3bet pots too much, right? Could you say anything else about my game plz?

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

Sorry, when I tell people they're on video they tend to play different. Also, I call anyone who is sitting by themselves a reg and don't worry about the obv comment, I've said worse and I called with A5 on that last hand since I thought you were tilted, lol.

As far as your game, honestly you played pretty well. I don't even really hate the triple barrel with 97. You put me in quite a few tough spots. My biggest recommendation would just be to fold the flop a bit more both in 3bet pots and single raised pots. I don't think you called too many 3bets tbh.

Really I was fortunate to run into your bluffing range on the AT hand and turn the nuts with KQ. Those 2 hands made it easy for me but you definitely weren't easy to play against.

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.

I've noticed the last few ratings have been 1/2 stars, for those that did that can you please explain why? Just want to know how I can improve future videos.

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.

I just started watching this series and just wanted to say I really like your recent videos. Just something about the way you explain things really clicks with me. I also like your humbleness, you know you're not durrrr or whoever, but realize your mistakes and point out things you should be doing differently etc. Like saying that people should watch Headhunter before this series is something I think a lot of people wouldn't say about their own videos.

Mad props to you sir

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.

whats your range asusumption for the QJ hand on the right when you face the river c/r. why dont you consider a call there? hes basically on Tx or nothing and has shown tendencies (like the float) yet that hes open for more than a standart fit-or-fold game.

Basically from my experience at 100, river c/r's are very rarely bluffs. We're getting 2-1 here but would surprised if we were good 33% of the time. While it's rare I've also seen weird played flushes here as well.
