I kinda feel like this is a fold because of game flow. Walking him the last 2 times i just imagine that he knows your going to open close to 100% here and ajust. I could be reading to much into game flow but it just felt like one of those spots. Based on that assumption do you think there is merit in a limp jam here with the middle part of your range and just muck the bottom? Say like any ace2-T, any king, Q7suited+, 22-88, and suited connectors? I feel like it may be more profitable then an open to avoid some thin calls and having to fold a ton of equity vs dis guy. Thoughts on this? (just to clarify I like the open with nut value hands i think you pick up 3 ball money or double a lot)

Also i don't want to mess with your mojo but Its tough to see your stack size a lot of the time. Obv don't change the magic that is your layout but maybe just reference it more when going over hands in vids so that its easier to follow. Love it so far!

I would float here i think. I guess that board can hit your limping range but it hits his harder and I'm guessing he knows it. Obv you have been playing with him for a while and kind of have a feel on his sizing and stuff that i haven't seen but there are 8 nut outs plus a ton of over card spades that i think would be really great semi bluff cards. Is there merit in a raise otf? Im not sure how i feel about it because if we get 3balled otf its top pair good kicker at worst (?) and have to call for 8 too 12 outs. However I'm guessing he would fold 6x, and 2nd, 3rd pair type hands but you make a good point about his sizing and how that most likely isn't 2nd or third pair hands. I just don't really like the fold. If we are going to limp some trashy hands i would think that we would have to play those hands more aggressively when we flop a draw, even with a decent perceived edge.

Was looking for some Ftbl HU material earlier today, tnx for the Vid. BTW Wat software is it that displays your BB in top left?

whoops Guilty. Never looked at it that way. Against bad players that will flat banish hands would you start to jam some of those hands or are you still going to just open? LIke say a 75/22 with a 4% 3ball stat.

@jaimestaples
the stacksize thing with this skin is, you can always see it in the left corner under the HH links.

that is genius! thanks freakstar

how would you feel about pushing here, with only one guy covering you, and icm wish he will def be super tight the rest of the table is right around a 10BB stack, granted earlgrey's stack is clearly bad for it, its gotta be close considering we add 10% by taking the pot, and with 2 guys really short there is a good chance the other two will be extremely tight. Its just an idea, i would be folding here or maybe stealing here most the time i guess, but i dont think a push is a bad option just wanted to see what you thought about it

yeah it's entirely conceivable this is still a call with backdoors just because I think he's bad enough where he'll pay me off if I hit my straight on at least one street.

And yeah 22 is definitely more profitable to jam pre versus certain profiles like those you mentioned.

Yeah that's TableNinja.

I talk a lot about this nebulous concept of "right of last call." I really hate pushing here with the big stack left to act and such meaty stacks (though it's probably close to unexploitably +cev if they are seeing our pair face-up and using ICM to determine a call). If I had position on the big stack I would push all day.

great vid and thx for the hu review at the end. very helpful.

excellent video,
have been raising my button lots more heads up fts,and you way looks to have more balance and i will be trying it out,,

I like the end slide. I want to play hyper turbo sng's more, what movies on DC do you recommened to watch I normally play mid/highstakes cashgames but looking for something new.

Time Link to 00:08:07

this is an auto-shove for me, and I don't think it's close.

Time Link to 00:08:07

also, ICM dictates that they call off quite tight here

Time Link to 00:20:25

You didn't mention it, but his min raise is polarized when his standard has been 3x, and this player type doesn't balance enough with air. I think he has a monster here tons.

Time Link to 00:22:09

I'd give more consideration to jamming pre here.
