I love duels

Ansky: At one point you lost your train of thought.
I suspect it had something to do with your 33 bluff on Ace high board.
Is it possible that you can expand on the value of turning all his range into bluff catchers that he might value bet turn and river with?
How do you identify the spots?
What villians do you target this with?

Binarystar here, really enjoyed the commentary, even if it was a bit frantic at times. I thought you played very well.

The only hand I donked flop and turn I had KJo on TxxA and the only time I raised the flop in a 3bet pot I had a pure bluff.

I thought the hand where you rivered trip 3s and I bet/called the river with 77 was interesting. My rational for calling was that I thought you would check a 3 a lot on that flop. Might be a good spot for me to fold or c/c the river and maybe let you try and rep a 3 to get me off A high.

The Q9 timeout hand where I c/r the flop and bet the turn I had a gutshot and agree that you jamming TP there given the drawy nature of the board and stack sizes would be good.

Generally I agree that I didn't bluff enough in a couple spots, the biggest missed opportunity being not jamming A5 on the river in the 3bet pot when you checked the river. Really liked the analysis on this hand.

I c/rai with JT on the KJTxx river and after discussing it I agree that c/c is better here, even without knowing that you bet/fold K8 here.

The K9 hand where I jam the river and you fold was pretty interesting. I had K7s and folded you off a chop. My thought process here was that there were very few hands you could have that beat me: a few combos of KJ, KQ (most likely hand that beats me), and very few set combos of 88/KK since I think you 4bet most of those possible 4 set combos. A lot of draws bricked on the river so I was hoping you'd herocall with a J.

The 75s 3bet pot hand I don't like the c/c on the river and think it is a pretty easy shove with Tx after you cbet and c/c the turn on what is a drawy board.

You were talking about flattin AJ when deeper instead of 3b.

Does this mean you're 3b less when deeper or your 3b range is more weighted towrards bluffs?

In other words is your 3b% going down or are you just weighting your hands differently when deeper?

4 tabling HU vs a non-HU player who also happens to be your student. How unfair!

really liked the format and commentary, fast paced enough to stay interesting and showed enough hands to demonstrate a real dynamic.

great video

I your videos. I really like how much theory you can squeeze into a live HU video.

Ansky, your strength is your analysis in real time. There were too many tables for you to give the in-depth analysis that you usually give. Even so, I learned a lot from this video. However, from a viewer's standpoint, I find it stressful to watch videos when your timebank is so low. I find myself nervously waiting for the timer to count down and when you miss it and mistakenly fold a hand....I wince!

Bottom line. Fewer tables = easier for us to follow + more time bank --> better commentary from you, which is your strength. gl @ the tables! s/s.

When your opponent has a wide valuebetting range, but one which mostly can only beat a bluff when you raise him, it can often be a good spot to try a bluff.

Probably true.

The latter.

Just change your range somewhat so that you have less "trouble" hands when you get super deep.

4 tables was super fast.

PS has regular tables with 15 secs instead of the fast tables.

Nice video. I love your "I'm angry at the world" attitude while explaining strategy. It's like you're ripping Gugel while he's not even there!

Hi dani, when you turn the set of 7's on JTx7A what do you do if he 3bets your c/r?
Also whats the worst hand you are shoving for value after the river brings the only other draw? Should this tighten his calling range up quite a bit?

I'd go all in.

I'd jam any aces up probably, though I don't really see how I could have aces up.

really nice vid
i also think reducing the number of tables would be a good idea but you
still did a great job explaining all situations that came up

Hey dani 35s why did you did you only min reraise?

Do both of you have characters from HBO's The Wire for your avatars? Bubs and bowdy? (boo-dee) If not they sure look like those guys.

Hey Binarystar (tim.matthews23)
Would you mind telling me what you had here on the bottom left? I am curious

Time Link to 00:34:55

On the bottom right here. Isn't it very likely that he could peel the flop with a decent ace or a smaller pocket pair then bet the PP on the turn to protect once the jack pairs? I think you could bet again and only worry if he raises? Not sure. I just think he could have a lot of other hands other than a Jack here. I am interested in your thoughts on it though if you see if differently.

My feedback for you on this video is,
Great job. A little hectic as you said with the 4 tables but it was still a great video.
A+

I personally really dislike these intros that just have such booming audio. I have my speakers at a good level to here to video it'self but the intro is just so much louder than that.
