I think the first three hands were discussed really well. It's a lot of poker in them in the sense of hand reading and leveling. I think ur reasoning is very clear and it's cool to hear ur feel for difficult spots!

However I think it was too difficult to follow the discussion on 3-betting the turn in hand #4. Would it really be so awful to open razor and just select the range u talk about (stove doesn't handle suit so that would be a pain)?

Here's another one where I removed a lot of flush combos. We have 48.03% vs this range:

66, 22, AT-A2, AJo, KcQc, KcJc, KcTc, Kc9c, QcJc, QcTc, Qc9c, JcTc, Jc9c, Tc9c, 9c8c

Agaisnt this one (no boats) we have 58%:

AT-A7, A5-A3, AJo, KcQc, KcJc, KcTc, Kc9c, QcJc, QcTc, Qc9c, JcTc, Jc9c, Tc9c, 9c8c

Hey sushi, to be honest yeah as I was starting to rattle off combos I thought I wish I had stove in front of me, but was recording on my mac. I appreciate you putting up the stoves, I still that was just a really close spot and any more analysis will confirm its gonna be marginal either way.

There is this thing I discovered for my cousin - who also has only a Mac. It's an app for iphone called..."Pokercruncher" or something? More or less like Stove in a pinch...

I have pokercruncher for my iphone, how do I run it on the mac computer? Lol sorry for newb question Smile

It's not as good as stove as far as a easy user interface but I agree it would work.

When I woke up this morning I realized I had used my squeaky sushi-voice again Gasp!

Pokerstove is pretty bad when u are trying to select hands of a certain suit like in this example (aka clubs). This tool is better: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/software/6/. It has a tab for each suit. And I think it's German, so it should be solid Smile.

I can't help with the mac problem.

DeathDonkey, I have a question about hand 2. The time stamp could go just about anywhere and it seems it might be easier to post a link directly to the thread if you need to refresh your memory.

You never explicitly mention this, but the only KJs combo available is KHeartJHeart. In other words, if villain can't have KJo it seems that arguing for a fold here relies heavily on him having a fair number of flushes in his range. But this would seem (to me) to be a rather odd line for a flush to take (I assume 3-betting the turn is still more 'standard' even at 30/60). I guess I didn't manage to get an interrogative question into this paragraph, but hopefully you understand what I'm trying to ask about. Poke Tongue

You spoke a bit about hands that villain could be turning into a bluff here and mentioned that you felt there were fairly few candidates. I assume you don't think he has AClubxo very often here then - is that more because you don't think he'd cold call it PF or because you don't think he'd play it that way on the flop and turn? (Asking because Axo is actually a hand I would see here often in my games, though almost no one is bluff raising the river)

re: Axo, I think its quite uncommon due to preflop. I guess if he were going to show up with Axo it would be exactly AJo, but maybe he would play ATo since he played KJo, I can't say. I wouldn't expect this hand to really do much on that flop though, it just seems like a total spew.

I agree with you that if we eliminate KJo due to preflop I simply have to call because nothing makes sense, its gotta be super rare he plays a flush that way, and there is only one KJs as you said. Probably the biggest takeaway from this hand is 1) if nothing makes sense, call, and 2) if the thing that makes the most sense you want to eliminate because "he's too solid to play that hand preflop" its much more likely he did something dumb preflop than anything else Smile

Just a quick fix: you don't have a backdoor straight draw with AQ on 992.

Months from now people probably won't be able to find the original threads. If anyone wants to study them more here they are:

Fold 1
Fold 2
Fold 3
Fold 4

Folds 5-9 are linked in the video 2 thread.
