Is it standard fold for you here? You have about 39% equity vs top 17% range and your opponent look very passive.

I love these little nuggets of HU play, hidden in Nina Williams videos!!

I like this idea a lot. Seems like a great way to combat short term results orientedness and focus on the things that you can control (like making the best decision possible at each decision point) rather than the things you can't control (how the cards run out). Which'll make you tilt less and play more.

Could you talk more about this 22 hand? (I always fold this spot expecting to show a loss if I limp thinking that my hand has too much RIO multiway and not enough IO when I flop sets/make straights) Like pros and cons of limping the 2's and how you expect to show a profit in this spot?

Curious about how many hands you think it takes for someone's vpip and pfr to converge in 6max. I always thought that the fewer the players, the less hands it takes for stats to converge and the converse of that being true as well. But I want to get more specific than that with these kinds of things. I'm just unsure about how many hands I want to see before giving it more weight (aside from him limping like 63s and showing it down and you can be like aha! 70% vpip at least!).

Gotta give you some constructive criticism here.
Not that it's a super huge deal or anything, but when there's a lull in the action it would be pretty cool if you started talking about something. Anything really. Something motivational or entertaining would be ideal. Especially if it relates to the video. But it could be anything. Like if you went to a Pro Tour or something and Top 8'd and got to travel to somewhere awesome because of all the money you won playing poker. I'd rather hear about that than just silence. Even the riffling of chips or something would be better than nothing. I feel like this is something that the best video makers do and it makes me want to listen to them more because the video flows better?

Good video overall. Enjoyed it. Thanks Nina.

call is correct if you can play perfectly. I don't really think that I can in this spot. I also think his range is maybe tighter than top 17%.

pros:
you might flop a set
your decisions are going to be pretty easy postflop
you can win the pot UI due to your positional advantage.
You might be good at sd.
You has a pair.

Cons:
You might get raised(not the worst since you have better implied odds vs the pfr)
you're going to lose the pot a lot when someone else decides to stab at it or when they make something.

Overall i think its going to be a slightly profitable spot

Not sure how long it takes to converge, but if it's wildly off, you can tell what he's up to after a relatively small sample.

Right table with J9: What are you trying to fold out?

Just saying that I don't think bluffing J9 looks profitable for me

i was trying to get value from K hi or a lower pair.

I think I already requested a 4color deck sometime and you and DosXX changed it. But somehow it's 2color again since some episodes. Can you please switch it back? Would be much appreciated. Thanks.

PS: The video quality in this one is top notch. Everything's so crisp and clear. It's a dream!

This might sound like a random question, but I was thinking about our entire range in this AQ hand on the left, and I was wondering what you think about hands like K6s/K4s Q6s/Q4s (with no flush draw). I couldnt decide whether id c/c or c/f the turn with those particular hands.

Also, I decided I would c/f KJo but c/c KQo planning on c/f the river UI, what do you think about that plan?

i think you should call with those gutshot hands.

You'd really have to go into stove and take a look at his range/your range but my instincts are that I'd fold both due to the fact that you Kx loses to all his A hi's.

these are my attempts...

KQo on the turn:
vs my HJ open range - 38%
vs a wide but decently balanced turn cb range - 29%
vs a tight but decently balanced turn cb range - 26%
vs an overly value oriented turn cb - 18%
vs an overly bluff heavy turn cb - 35%

were getting 4.25:1 so we theoretically need 19% equity to break even, how much equity would you want to actually have to peel again?
