Don't you think the value in raising the river w/ a disguised two pair (J4) outweighs the possibility of value towning yourself vs a backdoor straight (that villain would have had to hit an inside straight draw on river) & a better two pair hand vs getting value from: (1) fairly strong Kx that would be to protect on turn w/ flush draw (given that 2 broadway is a standard call oop); (2) a SC type hand that would have a smaller two pair.

Plus, isn't there value in a raise to set up future bluffs on the river + not giving villain info @ showdown on how you played your hand?

Looking back on the hand now I think it is a closer decision between raising and calling than I did initially. However, in order for a raise to be better we have to not only have the best hand the majority of the time (which I think we do) but we also have to get called by worse enough of the time to make it worth raising in this spot.

6 minutes into a pretty straightforward match I don't think we've developed enough of an image that means he will be calling with worse often enough to make it worthwhile. Given his PF tendencies he likely doesn't have KQ or AK. I think he's probably defending K8s+ and KTo+ so the only Kx hands that we can get value from are specifically K9s, KTs and KTo. The other hand we can get value from is 78s. We valueown ourself vs 56s, T9, K's up and also J8 and sets. He folds K9/KT some % and we also have to fold when he reshoves 56/T9/maybe sets sometimes.

In terms of giving information away about how we played the hand I am really not too concerned since we played our hand in a pretty typocal/standard fashion that isn't going to give him too much insight into anything special we are doing. Conversely, we get to see how light he is valuebetting river (if and how he would bet J9 or A8 or missed draws, Kx etc). I would be more worried about showing down our hand had we done something non-standard that would cause him to think more correctly about our hand possibilities in the future (like if we had flatted AA from the BB or if we had checked back a flush draw or TP as the PFR).

The mmm (might be from mic os. also but prolly you) and tff tff sounds youre producing are pretty annoying

sorry I humm during downtime in action and the tff or tchh whatever is the sound of my brain churning! I'll try and cutdown on the humming in the next video but can't promise anything in regards to the tff tff as that's a big part of my game!

the tff tff isnt that annoying but the mmmmmm is reallllllllllly tilting

This was something I didn't think about. Very good point and very valuable information early in a match. s/s.

This.

What I learned from this was to not play very good HU players 30 minutes after waking up from a full day of drinking.

Haha, good advice.

I thought that the video was pretty interesting and maybe TJ can get in a rematch for round 2.

nice to have you back man!

Totally agree with this, and not only that - checking back the flop,then calling the turn and then raising a blank river looks so FOS there is no way he folds top pair there, he may even call with worse, or bluff jam.

good humming

What's the point of peeling the 5s3h7s board w/ AQ. He should be checking back a lot of marginal hands on that board because you are c/raising a lot of draws and strong hands. When you just c/c though your hand looks faceup as something marginal like 1pair or A high so he should be able to just 2 barrel you profitably. I didn't really understand what you were trying to accomplish, hit a 6 outer on a board where you may not really have that many clean outs? Fire the river if turn goes chk chk or just try to get to showdown?

I know he was cbetting a lot it just didn't look like a good spot
