34MB only?? thanks if so

24min, you state that board pairing reduces the villains flush shoving range, yet how does that help the value of our small bet, since I assume we are folding. Does it make it easier to define river bluff shoves or something?

No iPod version?

A couple of things.
1. At 04:36 you are talking about the hand with TT facing a race from the co. He isn't minraising here. It's nl $400 and a 5xbb raise.

2. At 22:44 you give the advice to make a small bet around $75-$100 to get a call from a one pair hand. But the button only has $112 left and the MP
$107 so we really have no choice.

Other than that, love the series, keep up the good work!

I'd really like to clear up a big point(at least to me) that I'm clearly misunderstanding. Great players like you and CTS really like 3-betting the fishy calling stations in or out of position. You know their R-Calling ranges are crazy wide so you do it with hands like J9s or QTo (and plenty other hands weaker than this). The flaw I find with this is that they're calling stations- so, by definition, they're going to call everything- so dont we have to show them the best hand to win? We're going to miss a lot and they're not going anywhere- so I find myself seeing lines like ch-b, ch-ch, b-f when I'm ip, and if I call the river bets even with my whiffed AK's then I'm the one who's turned into a calling station... I always find myself with no pair/slim draw-type hands vs a guy thats not folding so barreling seems futile. I go by 'never bluff a calling station' but I'd really like to know your thought process on why you guys think its so +ev (which it obviously is).

Thanks & lets run better....

There's lots of reasons.

One is for isolation so you can get the fish all to yourself. Another is to build a bigger pot when you do make your hand, it will be harder for the fish to fold while you're value betting him.

Yes, you know that he'll call you down with his pocket 8's on a QT647 board when you've whiffed with AK, he'll also call you down on that board when you have QJ. People love to call.

Taking a more passive line is correct as they will pretty much play their hand face up. Guess what, you can too and they won't care. If they do adjust, you can adjust back and start playing your normal game.

If they're not folding, don't bet until you have a good hand. They're not going to "bluff" you off your ace high, they do have the best hand 99% of the time. Fold and play the next hand. Just be glad you didn't dump more money into the pot.

You're going to be playing better poker by selecting hands preflop that will pretty much play themselves against these opponents postflop.

1- Damn, my bad. I still like reraising but disregard anything I said about paying attn to his minraising range... but obv take that advice and apply it to times you've seen him open to 5bb (the rarer an occurrence, the more often I like just flatting his open).

2- Again, f*ck. Check/fold.

2- Again, f*ck. Check/fold.

But shouldn't we still shove here because of the potsize? They got around $100 left but the pot is $288. The fishy player in MP will probably call with a king and it's not certain that the button was on a flushdraw.

If you wanted to bet/fold a 100 provided we were deeper, why not valueshove for a 100?

I really appreciate this great response. It solidifies lots of different things I've been thinking about.

Thanks a lot.
