In this hand, is it not likely that villain will bet most of his draws on the turn? It looks like we are giving up with an underpair or something and most of his draws won't have showdown value.

Great job on the series guys, it was excellent. You're both a credit to the site. This episode needed more TecmoSuperBowl music though. For shame.

Nice series!
Maybe you can make the next video having your voice and tecmo's voice the same volume.

And thanks for commenting about raising the quiz hand. It really made sense when you verbalized it as "Ax are going to call for a chop in practice".

Just wanted to say thanks again to jk3a for staying patient with me and my inability to put in as many hands as he/I would have liked. Also, thanks to everyone who watched and supported me along the way. We both worked hard on the series and hope that many benefited from it.

I wrote up a brief blog wrapping up the series which you can check out here.

sure tecmo isn't yelling? yea the audio volume difference is related to a new version of camtasia. will def try to even that out in the future

IT'S DEFINITELY CAMTASIA. SORRY FOR THE 'YELLING' GUYS. TIS A BIT LOUD IMO.

Great series, it was really helpful to me and it would be nice if you could continue it.
However, this time you didn't include any Tecmo Superbowl music. What's with that?

Thanks for the effort guys.
Its funny - how you ended up over 21k @ 1-2 ~3ptbb - yet you spewed some serious chips over and over again.

It opens the eyes - when you hear games are so tough these days - yet those two things stare at me in the face going 1-2 3ptbb just fold when guys raise turns or rivers basically.

Yea man, crazy isn't it? When you sit back and look at all the money I lost in spots where I could have easily folded or followed through with a bluff, and I still ended up winning money! It gives me great confidence that I can have a really nice winrate at 200NL if I play the way I know I'm capable of playing. It should also give everyone else the confidence that a solid winrate is still possible at 200NL even post-UIGEA. There's still plenty of fish in the sea imo.

Great series. jk3s please make some more small/midstakes vids including sweat sessions.

DC owners should just green light the bankrolling of Tecmo's coaching through JK3a and continue this series just like Jays and Fenders.

Keep going with quiz hands and these HHs reviews they are far more useful than live sweats imo.

jk3a needs more time with vids - I think he is a really good teacher.

This is a new tagfish thing - MRing wet flops. I guess the secret is out on UTG stealing so they came up with this (although sometimes they donk those flops).

I haven't actually seen it showndown much so I don't know what they do it with usually.









I recently looked at a bunch of turn raise spots in my DB. If I could believe baluga theorem, I'd nearly double my bb/100 (guessing).

Great series, sucks its over.

GL Tom, and nice watching both of you guys work .

I've never been shy about how Jk3A makes the best vids. This series was no exception. Tom, you were awesome too, an eager student.

I know these series are a lot of work, but I look forward to even more vids from BOTH of you. Awesome series!

There's still plenty of fish in the sea imo.

indeed. alright now i gotta get this epic series

hi jk3a and tecmo, i wanna thank u for the great and usefull content u bring in with this series. hope for a new series with u guys

Great series indeed, and the most entertaining on DC imo. Good chemistry between jk3a and Tecmo. The quiz idea is great too, because it really forces you to stop and think.

Sure hope we get more!

And Tecmo, I agree with the lot that if you could get rid of the 'fy I shove' spots, you'd be doing pretty good!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the great reviews! They are greatly appreciated!

yeah poker good - music not so much. no offense

Great series, leakbusting and i hope we get more of this. Thank you guys

OH MY LORD gogogo phil helmuth.

very good content throughout the 8 episodes! looking forward to watch next jk3a series

Yeah congrats guys, excellent vids. Loved the format, the chemistry, and watching techmos progress. In fact i demand another series....

Great series and really enjoyed watching. There is some very high quality discussion on a lot of interesting hands throughout the series.

Nice job guys!

checking can have some merrits vs. delayed floats.

But what you think @betsize, when you would have betted?
I would either Fakeblockbet, or bet larger (32-35$).
I mean, you saud that a worse hand like Kx, Villain will not often call on the ace-river.
But isn`t the Ace on the river a great card for us to rep a bluff?

not sure if this gets read anymore but i got a question about the QJ hand:

Do you think a guy like this will bet and call a smallish checkraise on the river with an ace? Because if he does a good % of the time we should def check the river as there are way more combos of Ax and missed draws then there are KQ KJ combos...

Also about the 88 hand: i noticed your cbet en turnbet weren't really big, personally oop on this type of board i bet a bit bigger with my whole range..

prob betting something stdish hoping Kx or Ax calls

if he can b/c Ax and bluff missed draws, that's def a great argument for c/r

Hey, just wanna to say - this was an amazing series - thanks you both very much

A bit late here but I really enjoyed the series and hope to see more. Like Tecmo I think my biggest leak was not believing my opponents enough and leveling myself into bad calldowns and stackoffs when they were showing a lot of strength, so I think I rectified a lot of those issues thanks to you guys.

I would definitely like to see this series continue in the future though. Maybe a similar format from the perspective of another student with a whole different set of leaks for j3ka to fix. Having Tecmo back to continue his challenge of reaching and beating 400nl would also be good.

I just got through watching this series, and definitely enjoyed it. I feel like I learned a lot from the strategy discussions, and that some of my own thought processes have improved just from stopping and trying my best to answer the questions posed throughout. A lot of Tecmo's leaks, at least in the hands shown (as well as stationing out in general) seem all too familiar to me, and it didn't hurt that there was a lot of funny in this series as well. Would definitely love to watch more, and I just wish I'd been following during the original airing to participate in the quizzes (which was also a great touch).

Thanks for the kind words infire! Glad my sucking could help you out

Hey guys,

Just got round to watching this myself. Great series guys, thoroughly enjoyed it and found it really informative.

Good luck on the tables Tecmo!

I actually really like a turn bet here. I remember back in Josh's Razor's Edge series that paired turns on drawy boards are good cards to barrel. If we look at villain's range, a big part of it is made up of gutshots, flush draws, and weaker pairs. Almost all of his draws fold the turn, and a decent amount of his 7x/88/99/JJ type hands will fold here too. It would suck to get raised, but the types of hands that would raise us might have us drawing dead on the river anyway(AT/T9). I think the combination of fold equity + pot equity makes betting the turn a lot better.

there def are a number of hands that should fold. but there are tons of combos of Tx and Kx. would make for a good math exercise. doubt it's a fistpump either way

It's been a while but this needs another season!
The videos jk3a is involved in are definitely among the best on DC.

Tnx a lot for this series, but most of all that you were so kind to respond to my questions almost every episode! Really appreciate it. I defenitely have more confidence in my game right now.

I agree that most guys and def this nitty guy will fold 99-TT and almost always JJ, but I dont think anyone ever folds AK to a 4bet (even if its a cold 4bet) in the 200nl games today. So if hes now folding 99-JJ thats good for us.

Our equity against QQ+, AKs, AKo: 35.842%

So thats a close call to if curry shoves and uagrad fold?

hard to tell what people are folding

def close if he does have all the AKs

Great series, very fun to watch and the explaining were excellent.
