Great video.

On table 1, your value bet on the river seems very thin to me. I mean it worked, but could you please explain your thoughts here? What do you think you can get called by? When you bet, doesn't your hand look a lot like trips? Also, he can have trips himself, so would he really expect you to bluff here?

Thanks

Nice vid.

On the JQo hand at table one that Hielko 3bet(arount 8:30), on the turn you guys said that you have to barrel the 8s turn? Why is that?

That was a very good finale!^^
Thank you both for the whole series, it was rly great

Anything that can beat a bluff

Yes, that why it's a cool bluff spot too, and also fine to vbet thin against good opponents because I really don't have trips that often.

That's not going to be that common, and if I check/call I probably lose more money from trips anyway.

I would expect that he will call this flop very often with A-high and floats, and if we don't 2nd barrel we should probably not cbet the flop in the first place.

That was a very good finale!^^

Good to hear!

Whats the reason why you don't wanna play this A3s (somewhat similar spot earlier in the video with A6s aswell vs. same villian)? The guy seemed like the weak spot at the table & we're getting a good price preflop.
Are you just getting squeezed too much for this to be profitable?

Very nice video.

20.25 minutes in you were in the middle of talking about some equity concept regarding calling with the QJs - But you never finished the point. Can you please elaborate on what you were saying?

I think folding A3s to a minraise otb is pretty weak honestly, didn't really catch that

Very nice video.

Very simple but often overlooked and very important point: if you need 10.5:1 on a call and you're getting 4:1 and there's 6.5x the bet(or raise) to you in stacks and you know it's getting all-in, your call can still be -EV. That's because what you need to get in on the turn is 6.5x the bet IN EQUITY: if your opponent has a redraw, not all the money that goes in on the turn is really "yours": he's still got a chance to win it.

Think about it as "if I get it all in as a 4:1 favorite, I"m making 60 cents on the dollar" (because your equity is .80x-.20x where x is the amount of money going in). So if you get it all in for 6.5* the bet size you called to hit your gutshot, and he's got some sort of 4:1 draw, you're really only winning .6*(6.5*the betsize you called), which means your implied odds aren't great enough to call

How about checking to induce with the A8s on the river? Our range for c/c'ing the flop looks like a lot of Ax, Qx, and FDs. It should be hard for him to call with worse when the the Q pairs on the turn and the flush completes on the river as our river bet should have a lot of trips and flushes.

Re: the 87o hand v. the shortstacker:
I play a lot of 20-50 bb games on Stars, and the cbet, check/shove line is actually very common from a lot of shortstackers. In this spot I've seen them show up with anything from monsters to flush draws to top pair to bare overs. Given that I actually expect to get shoved on A LOT, I would prefer to check back the turn. As played, I don't hate a fold, but I do think it's very close.

yeah, agree w/ this. seems like a spot where the chances of him bluffing > the chances of him hero calling w/ worse.
