Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by jsnipes28 (Mid Stakes)

this should be good.

Great video guys, thanks.

At 73 minutes in with Q9o, you call the chk-raise and then bet the turn when he checks. In this spot, we guessed he had some random bluff type hand and very rarely a better Queen. In that case, we don't get much if any value from betting there? Would it not be better to check it back and go for some value on the river hoping that he hits a piece?

Most of the time I would check back and turn our hand into a bluff catcher. However this guy seemed creative enough to C/R with a 6 or a 2. So with the small bet we were trying to get some extra value out of those 2 hands, or frustrate him with the small bet so he'd bluff-raise.

great vid guys!

@ 58:10 w/ 87 on A73r 9 brd, after c/c flop are you c/f river if villain bets?

@ 1:00:23 w/ AK facing a 3 bet. I've 4 betting to 50-54 in most cases and maybe that's why I'm getting 4 bets called so much. But, I'm not doing much 4 bet bluffing either. Can you talk about your reason for 4 betting to 58 here?

Thanks for the compliment.

on the 87 hand we're definitely folding to a turn bet there. Up to that point his 2B% was 0 and while he seemed like a solid thinking player he wasn't that aggressive post-flop.

As far as 4 betting size. So many people love to call 4 bets nowadays that I think 50-54 is a bit too small. We want to charge them to come into the pot and when we don't have a premium pocket pair, we're going to miss a decent amount of the time so them folding is OK too. The reason I don't 4 bet to pot or higher is while that tends to increase your fold equity, I'm like you where I don't 4 bet bluff that often so I'm trying to give my opponent the illusion that they do have fold equity for when they decide to 5 bet bluff. Any PSR or higher generally doesn't get shoved over as a bluff from my experience.

And the obvious reason for not deviating the 4 bet size is that the good opponents will catch on and it'll make it incredibly tough to profit against them.

whoever was the bossy one in this vid, you are pretty beatable the 68 was a weak turn fold. the other guy sounded a looot more tricky and would give good regs a lot more issues, grow some ballz man! stand up for your ideas!! the AQ 3b hand u shd deffo bet the turn to setup a triple barrel psb.

u leveling?

Great video guys, really liked your discussions and how different ideas were played with. Its good to hear you talk about some of the other lines you could have taken with a hand.

For some reason though the video seemed much smaller than the rest of the two-tabling videos on this site even when I had it in full screen.

We didn't explicitly discuss it during that hand but you can and should vary your 4bet size based on stack sizes, opponent tendencies and the goal of 4betting in that hand and that match.

If your opponent doesn't flat 4bets (which is becoming very rare lol) then you can get away from extremely small 4bets. However if you are playing a monkey who never folds to 4bs I probably would 4b even slightly larger than pot.

4betting size based on stacks is pretty intuitive and I suppose. If you are playing a few tables versus someone who is 3b 25% you are probably going to 4b a decent amount and thus it might make sense to err on the smaller side and vice versa.

Great series guys.

In the 87 hand on the 963 rainbow flop, it seems like you need to get a fold around 28 percent of the time for this play to be profitable (according to my rough math).
Do you really this player is folding that much of the time after 3-betting the flop? I don't see him folding any top pair or better.

Yeah, we're not getting him to fold TP or better here. However, with the way the match was going, while we weren't getting to showdown it did seem like he was tricky and was taking some interesting lines. On a board that dry, we really can't rep much so it's actually a very good time for him to 3-bet bluff. We knew this which is one of the main reason we opted for a C/R knowing it was a good time for him to 3 bet bluff and allowing us to shove over that.

On a board this dry, with the read we had on the opponent, I'd be willing to bet that this works at least 28% of the time. Plus, we did have outs and while we were counting the 8 or 7 as outs we knew all our straight outs were in tact unless he had TT.

As the match progressed we found he was fairly straight forward post flop so I like our play much less. However at that point in time, I have no problems with it

Let me know if you have any more questions.
