I dont think hero could have shoved here as the raise back to him was less than i a min raise.

Very helpful to walk through hand by hand with you. I hope you do more videos with this HH format. Thank you.

thank you, appreciate the good words.

I also wanted to be the first to mention that i say YOU KNOW a ton. I have done this a lot in my videos and it's something i've tried to work on but YOU KNOW, i just cant help it, YOU KNOW!

I agree a great video, the HH's were really interesting and produced really tough spots.

I'm kinda torn preflop between flatting and 3betting for value vs the fish, but I like flatting just a bit more. If the fish were 100 deep, I'd definitely be squeezing so that we'd have an easier time getting stacks in, but given the fact that he's short, that shouldn't be a problem. To boot, the fish's presence will force the BTN to play more straight-forward, and given that we're ahead of both their ranges (and that BTN will probably have a value range vs the fish that we're ahead of) I think there's more money to be made by flatting pre.

As played preflop, I cbet here because (as you pointed out) the board is dry and villain should be expecting a cbet here a huge % of the time and floating us with most of his range. Then, we can check the turn and win another bet from his peeling range.

This video shows the importance of sizing your bets properly so you can reopen the action if a shorty jams. In your own JJ hand, you would have had the option to rejam if you had bet 7.95 instead of 8. In the other JJ hand where we tried to get the shorty allin pre, we would have had the option to rejam if we had raised to 18.20 instead of 20. Both hands would have been infinitly easier to play by paying a little extra attention to the details =D

It's really quite simple too. Just make sure your bet or raise is less then half of their remaining stack and your good to go

yeah i cant tell you how many times this has bitten me in the ass, where someone shoves and someone else calls becuz the actions capped and im sitting there with AA and can only call and watch as the other cold caller outflops me everytime. its just something i dont think about a ton, while im grinding im usually just making my bets based on value sizings and standard situations and not always thinking about well what if this guy shoves and making a bet half the size of his stack.

yeah its def close preflop between flatting and 3betting. i guess when i see these spots where i think i can fold out an aggro player, and play IP against a fishy player, i usually take the bait. but flatting certainly has its merits as you pointed out, as a lot of times we can stack the fish anyway, and we might get some loose value/bluffs from the aggro button.

and yeah, flop is close as well between betting for value as he will often times look down at like TT and call us anyway, or checking to try and pot control/induce barrells. Also, this guys flatting range tho can include a lot of randomness especially becuz ppl want to assume the fish will call as well. so its certainly possible he has a hand like 78 or other random crap. plus just floating with air occasionally as well. i def think i prefer the bet on this flop. but you can make arguments for checking as well.

high quality video, just what i want more of. especially in a combination with sweating videos of 4-6 tables with lots of spots and less talking. i cant take this kind of deep thought process while watching a ghost video so its nice to have it separated.

QJs hand i think he is getting the odds to call profitably

Thanks for the comments. I just did a little math on the QcJc hand. I assigned hero the following shoving ranges and PokerStoved it.

Board: 9c Ah Tc 3h
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 69.529% 69.53% 00.00% 826 0.00 { AA, TT, AKs, ATs, AKo, ATo }
Hand 1: 30.471% 30.47% 00.00% 362 0.00 { QcJc }


So it looks as if villain needs ~ 2.3-1 on a call, and hes getting about 2.77-1 on a call. So yeah, your right, he is getting the right price. I still think i'd rather shove my money here than c/c my money off.

Appreciate it. I've thought about a FR rush vid, I just personally haven't played hardly any rush at all, so I'd like some more experience there before I make a vid there.

Everyone that enjoyed this video, you can also do your part by sending me hh's that can be in future videos! I would appreciate that!

Disco, do you think the minraise on this board is weak or strong? At 25nl a minraise, particularly a snap minraise is usually air. Is it different at 1,2 in your view? I did note that the minraise really is a step toward committing hero's stack in this instance. If hero calls the minraise its going to be very hard for him to fold the turn given effective stacks.

Not sure if you will get a reply as DB has joined another coaching website.

ah , anyone at all on the idea though...... im always interested in what these minraises mean

I enjoyed the video.

In the hand where the hero squeezes KQo from the BB, you cannot take AK (and some other strong hands) away from the vilains range on the button because he may opt to flat in order to keep the fishy player in the SB in the hand.
