Great vid!

I really like vids that make me rethink spots like these. Great vid.

I see what you did there

Good video, good thought process when making key decisions. Reinforces things we should be thinking about in every single hand.

I thought the name of this vid suggested that it was going to be a PLO vid.

ePLOitable. get it?

Hey how's it going, Jared? A couple questions about this hand:

Do you like the way d0zer played his 66? Do you guys have history where he knows a big part of your perceived range is the NFD or combo draw that auto gets it in on the flop?

Also with respect to your overbet shove, this is good against a thinking player who's a decent hand reader that knows draws are a decent part of your perceived range. However, are you taking this line against weaker players who aren't as good of hand readers and who likely have a fair bit of draws in their range? I assume you're probably just betting an amount on the turn which forces them to make a mistake with their draw.

If b4rr4o was CO and truitt was BTN and you decided not to squeeze your KQo pre, I assume you c/r the flop if CO cbets and fish calls, especially with these stack sizes? I'd figure c/r >>> c/c. Would your decision change much if you were 100 or 150bb deep with b4rr4o?

btw nice HUD layout , can upload ?

Like your videos, man. Down to earth no BS. wp.

Thank for your videos.

Can you please comment on Villians line with QQ squeeze vs a LAG btn overcalling a 3-bet range?

Do you like villians flop bet size?
Should villian shove the turn? If so, why?
If villian checks the turn, do you like his bluff catch on this river?
If not, why not?
Is there a river card he should bluff catch?
or should he never bluff catch? if not why not.

I like his play. prob not jamming against bad players

yea i like c/r with the stacks in the hand, but not so much as they get closer to 100bb

i think smaller is better
yes, for value/protection
his river call is bad, very few/if any bluffs in my range

not really, he should be vbetting most river if he checks turn...once i check turn, he should put most of my range as showdown value making bluff catching river unprofitable

Is there any villian type where villians line would be optimal?Where
(a) the board ran out this way
(b) the board did not repeat a flop rank
(c) the board bricked i.e. non flushing

certain types of fish...either crazy aggros or loose guys who can float flop super wide and bluff river

Thanks

You say check raising to any thing between 2.5 and 4x is fine here, then go on to talk about the awkward stacks on the turn after c/r just less than 3x. If you made the c/r bigger (say 4x or close to), then stacks would be set up nicely for pot sized turn shove.

Given your play here (and the point of the discussion) was to balance your semi bluffing range (and not necessarily to be getting stacks in), do you think c/raising smaller and overbetting turn will give you more FE on your semi bluffs than c/raising bigger to set up stacks for a pot size turn shove?

cheers,

ps

yea, I think that def has merit, however, given the wet texture of the board, I usually wouldn't go much smaller than I did

Anyone knows how do I configure this "3bet vs open from" stat ?

you need to replace the default pop up for 3bet with the "default_vsPre"

Very nice vid! Good info to the point.

What do you think of villian's bluff with the missed draw on the river? Given your description of your range here (which seems pretty reasonable imo) surely this the board pairing river must be one of the worst cards in the deck to bluff?

Separately, if the board didn't pair on the river, would you have called an overbet shove?

board pairing has got to be a bad card to bluff as alot of my turn c/c range has two pair/sets, but it still could be ok depending on how i play overpairs/flush draws, just not near as good as it would be on brick rivers. not to say I couldn't click call with a set on offsuit K river, but it's much easier for him to rep 8x with a big bet when the board doesn't pair

What about a double float in position in this spot since a shove raise doesn't rep much ? Do you thing he's gonna 3 barell bluff too often ?

no, I don't think 3barreling a ton, and I do think double float is reasonable and def is very well balanced with my overall strategy. hard to say which is better, mostly dependent on if he'd bluff the river

Thanks a lot.

Great video

Could you please explain your reasoning for the check shove in this hand. It seems to me we are only getting called by sets b/c our play looks so strong.

a large portion of their collective calling range to my jam will include sets. however, with $400 in the pot, the best hand ALOT, and the small chance we get called by worse, shoving is very profitable.

Not to be a pain but a few of us ran this hand through PokerRazor and the best we could come up with was a EV of around 8BB. This was only attained after widening UTG's flop betting range to include most of his preflop calling range. BU simply can't be to wide after flatting flop bet. I'm really just struggling to find where we're off on ranges. Could you give me some ideas on the range you think UTG is betting and BU calling on this flop.

Note: We were able to increase the EV to 12BB if we made your stack only 100BB but left UTG and BU ranges and stacks the same.

Thanks

what ranges are you using? also, please note how you're doing the EV calc. Specifically, how much FE do you estimate and what's our equity when called. Also for the sake of simplicity, I would assume that we "never" get called by both.

You can upload the pokerrazor save file onto the DC file store and link it in the thread; we can all fiddle with it then.

nice

with the set of nines and the KQ vs fish you end up with awkward turn stacks and are faced with the choice to overbet shove or bet a "normal" amount leaving just a small amount left on the river.

do you think there is merit to just sizing your checkraise and/or flop bet a little larger so you can more comfortably shove the turn?

yes, that would def be good/fine, it's obv just difficult to do in game all the time

nice

Yah..great vid...KQ Hand "He happens to suck out so,...bummer"lol. Its good to see losing hands too so we dont think we're making really bad plays.Great vid.We get to learn how to play it better from ur mistakes,well...it wasnt really a mistake,he just sucked out.

Where is this located? I just copy&paste it there?

What sizing would you use with AJ & AQ at the turn and river?

What sizing would you use with AJ & AQ at the turn and river?

similar turn size and either a very small river bet or a c/f

the last ATs hand. Why are we raising flop exactly? It's not very likely he folds an overpair to our flop shove and there is always a chance he barrels
the turn with a no pair hand. Why not to just float the flop and jam over a turn bet for more profit?

this guy didn't 2 barrel much and I thought he would fold AJ-AK. that said, calling is very good too and can be best given the right circumstances.

i'm mostly raising here to get him to fold a few better hands, call with a few worse draws and try and keep myself from getting bluffed when I do whiff turn/river. individually the reasons aren't great, but combined they make for a decent play.

this is not to say calling and making decisions later is bad or unprofitable, just that taking a line we know is +ev to avoid potentially future mistakes can be valid

Surely the best play on the river is to check-call as we have the board crushed and he can have tonnes of hands that he can bluff shove the river with.

Its also likely whatever he calls with was shoving the river itself
