Why should villain bet the river with 77? Can he really expect to have the best hand 50%+ when called?

Question on the check back w/ 52s here. You say that you are a little more likely to check this back since you have more cards that you can peel a turn bet with. But isn't this at the same time a very good argument for betting? Now you got better equity w/ you 52s semi bluff.

Video quality is pretty bad. Great discussion though.

Ya this is spot. Really good discussion, but the video and some of the audio was pretty choppy, which made some spots hard to follow.

Yeah, unfortunately there were tons of technical problems w/the recording of this vid -- we're hoping to address them in future episodes to make everything a lot better production quality wise.

I know its an isolated case but vs Nicolak he's actually probably thinking the exact opposite of what you said.

He will not put you on a hand stronger than 7x and he will fire 3 some %.

25s vs 77

Two questions:
(a) If villian bets the river what range is he representing? Can you credibly raise the river having checked flop and turn?
If his range is going to be mostly single pair medium strength hands - but your range is face up weak - is there any merit in raising the river given you cannot obviously call here.
(b) If you bet $30 on the river with 25s - can villian credibly c/r the river vs what looks like a transparent thin value bet? outside of strong value bets what should he c/r here? e.g if he cannot bluff catch AQ can he bluff it?
Should villian c/c 77 or c/r it? If he c/r it is for value or exclusively a bluff?

I guess thats more than two questions but u see what I mean...

Thanks for the video guys - even though I prolly will never play these games soon - I love the content.

finally some Ansky rolling!!!

Yes, certainly. How can I have a better hand given the line I took?

That's like 7 questions

He is representing a bluff or a mid pair type hand trying to get value from either AK/AQ or something like what I have.

I probably wouldn't raise river since I'm basically representing exactly A5, but he knows I probably just bet flop with that.

I don't think he should c/r 77, it's a perfect hand to just bet with. C/r is pointless, c/c is obviously 2nd best to bet, he has the best hand enough but not enough when he raises.

more ansky vids please..

25/50 ?

Good video. I like to see videos where the videomaker isnt running like god for a change.

Very good performances from both contributors to this vid.

Can't we just call with TT in position and see a flop? I feel like when we 4-bet there we're almost turning our hand into a bluff and getting it all in versus JJ+ and AK.

Against a nit, maybe. I highly doubt this is the case BvB against a reg @ 5/10.

Just not really true, considering that people nowadays 3b a lot of lower pairs, and are far more willing to 5b jam light.

very nice format, love the in depth discussion. Keep it up guys...

I notice you only bet like 40% pot. I love the small bet sizing, because really here we are just trying to protect our hand from overcards and awkward river decisions so there's not much reason to bet more. My main concern is an issue of exploitability where he might see that bet as weak and start raising us with air. Is that a concern here? Is this play balanced at all or do we have a read that when we bet on the turn in this situation he's never going to be bluffing us so we can make our bet smaller? Thank you.

It was actually SB vs CO I believe, which means his 3-betting range will be a lot tighter than BvB. In a SB vs. BB scenario I agree 100% that I'm not folding TT.

I think it's more of an issue of what site you're playing at, because when I try to jump into a 5/10 NL game where I play based on by experience TT is almost never good when you get 5-bet here. If it's standard to just get it in with TT at FullTilt in that spot then fair enough.

Oh sorry I meant button vs. blinds the first time. I don't really think SB vs CO changes things enough to make TT not a shove PF - It'd have to be something like UTG vs MP or UTG vs SB. I don't play 5/10, but you're really saying that no one 5-bet bluffs in your games? I think we see 2 or 3 cases of ppl showing small PPs/SCs (yes one was from Dani) in the 15 minutes of footage we got through. I'd be a little surprised if other 5/10 games (eg stars, the bigger euro sites) play that differently.

One other thing - FWF talked about getting TT in PF in a spot similar to this in one of the episodes of Dear FWF. I can't remember what EP it is, but it's the first hand he talks about in the given video. Might be good to check out.

villain just totally owned you imo

so would we raise the turn if we float 1072R w/QJ and turn comes 9, K, or A... or do we just float again?

Yes!! Love learning from Ansky.
