Thanks for this, I'd love to see a similar thing in NL such as FWF vs Krantz

nice series start, now post the poo flinging monkeys

I tried to poo-fling with 65s later in the video, but DeathDonkey had none of it, and poo-flung back with a stone bluff.

hand 1...DD , I wouldn't have given you two cents for those 88's if Mr Tall had been playing normal.
Mr Tall, you gave up too much by playing blind. DD is hard enough to beat under any circumstances.
Dont handcuff yourself, you are in the same league.

hand 2, DD , you explain why Mr TALLs 3 bet turn is perhaps not optimal, then you fold and make it optimal...interesting....

You two guys are both gods to me.
Its fun watching you play.
Thanks for all you have done for me.

I check/fold KK on the turn in HU LIMIT Hold'em and no one has a comment?

Lets say DDs hand is AT, KT or QT (no heart), does he bet the turn with any of these when Joe checks to him?

I'd probably be more likely to raise the flop with top pair on a draw heavy board, knowing I'll get called down more lightly if the draw misses. I'd wait until the turn with top pair more often on a dry board. I would probably be tempted to bet the turn and then check behind on the river, since it seems like my hand would be worth one more BB but not two, and if I had no heart I could pretty easily fold to a turn CR. So yeah I don't think Joe's fold is necessarily good against my range.

Everything I 3-bet preflop that you beat, checks the turn on a dry board, and bet-3-bets when you don't have it beat.

That can't be a good thing. My peel range on a dry flop is probably any 2 cards, I will be very happy in general for free cards on the turn.

and bet-3-bets when you don't have it beat.

Well yeah, when top pair with a good kicker is beat in a heads up pot it can get costly. That's certainly always going to be the case. But perhaps after playing more with you I would be able to make monster laydowns in that spot that are super exploitable but perhaps way +EV if what you are saying is typically true. Fwiw I think you 3 bet the turn with more hands than you think (JT of hearts hand is a good example) though that's not necessarily always a good thing.

Why bluff w/Qhi in that spot? Given the 1st hand I really didn't like your play on that one.

Chuck, we can debate the play on its own for sure, but I don't see why using the first hand as a reference is helpful? Joe makes a play like that on the first hand to specifically try to build an image, but the reality is I often had lots of fold equity, I just always happened to have him beat when he was making big laydowns in this 30 minute match.

DD,

My issue was more w/bluffing w/Qhi.

Joe MAY on occasion have an Ahi when he c/r's this flop but most of the time he has a T, 7, or draw. Raising the turn with the intention of betting the river again on a bluff with Qhi really just puts an extra bet in with Qhi. I don't think Joe can really have Khi or Ahi here often enough and he is def. calling your turn raise a ton.
