I love Fridays :)

Saturdays are nice too (FwF)...

Lou, your wish is our command.

Next episode is krantz sweating me play and the grand finale is me sweating the master himself as he works his magic.

WoT

Also Lou, why don't you like the show ?

i didn't think you showed, if you did show then i only dislike the play somewhat

i hope you guys got some good opponents with some tough spots

btw, i saw a new fish on ub this week playing 5 10 with the sn of dj sensei, that's my tip for the week

In the A9 hand where you induce the bluff raise on the river you don't talk about your timing on the call. Of course part of you wants to fist-pump-snap-call, but doesn't this let the guy know you trapped the hell out of him?

It seems in this case you can gain about 600 quanks of meta by waiting 14 seconds before calling, making him believe that you had a tough decision with top and middle pair, thereby encouraging him to continue bluffing.

Does that make sense?

quanks is an amazing word

Hmm, I am contemplating if I get more or less action as a result of this =)
66 hand is bad in retrospect, I can't really credibly represent anything on that board.
No comments about A2o defense. I kinda disagree with your logic in the hand. IMO the A on the turn kinda skews both players hand ranges, so you can't really expect a river fold if you get called on the turn. If the stacks were deeper or it wasn't an A, I don't object. I guess I don't mind the turn bet as a cheap bluff though.

loved to video, stacked two tags today using the 3bet on dry boards concept you talked about when I had monsters!

I love the series so far. I have seen a bit of myself in almost all of the players you've played so far so my question is how do you catagorize yourself(ves) as players and what defenses do we use against those that have watched these vids and adjust enough to avoid being "classified"?

Yes, QFT.

Zippo - Excellent! :-)

Mattie,

3betting T2s is bad because there's just not a lot working for the hand. we don't feel good if we hit a pair, and we only have one speculative draw we can make... and well, we just have ten high. In general, we can really only 3bet this hand profitably if we expect one of 2 things, either

a) the guy plays super tight to 3bet preflop and making this 3bet will turn an automatic profit because the risk/reward of us making it 22 vs his 6 means he will fold often enough to make the raise in and of itself profitable (with any two cards)

b) the guy plays super straight forward on the flop... he will call with his medium strength hands, raise with his big hands, and mostly fold when he doesn't connect, so then the times A succeeds + the times we take the pot on the flop = profit

or I guess c) some combination of a+b or he plays real loose on the flop and super tight on the turn, ie he peels flops a lot and folds a lot of turns, which is fairly common of many ssnl HU players.

Regardless, we had no reason to believe any of these were true and mostly the reason i was 3betting in the match was just to try to create a maniac image and get into some neat leveling spots for the video.... which is essentially what this hand turned into, a leveling spot.

so on the turn i'm betting to try to get him off his medium pocket pairs, and on the river i just have the best hand so often because I don't expect him to peel me with A high on the flop that often (i think he'd bluff it more than just float it, look how he played the 66 hand previously turning a made hand into a bluff) also did you notice how i said in the previous hand example that the way he built that stack was through me bluffing so much? We've been playing a match that has had a leveling war, so this is just another spot where it's fairly unlikely i have the worst hand, added to the fact that he's seen me make monster moves and he knows that the turn A is the best 2 barrel card etc, it's conceivable he could try to snap me off with the worst hand some % of the time. Now that said, when he calls, will he have a worse hand > 50% of the time? That could be debatable, so it might be a slightly -EV shove, however I think in the context of the match and given that I should have the best hand quite often here, I was willing to take a slight risk that this time he didn't have me beat and jam it in.

Also there's some benefit in taking the pot w/o him seeing my hand... and if I do check the river and he shoves, what do i do ? Do I put him on an A that peeled or some sort of slowplayed hand? Do I put him on 55 turning his hand into a bluff as we've seen he can do ? If I do check here I also open myself up to being bluffed off the best hand.

hope that helps
