at pokerstars now the table volume has gone right down and diff to get more than 2/3 tables of 2/4 or 3/6 and only one table of 5/10 or higher now.

I think if I'd cap J9 combos on this flop that I should also cap 98 - what do you think?

Upon looking at the hand again I don't think flopcapping QJ would be bad honestly against some players, with free card intentions, although this is not a play I commonly make, and I think vs you it wouldn't be great because there's a reasonable chance you just donk a monster on the turn anyway...?

Maybe a lot of players in those games would just donk the turn anyway with a big hand into a flop cap.

fun range discussion - I think it's a board texture where it's definitely hard to find a good approach.

DC founder appearance!

Nice series - I really enjoyed it.

good grief

had i paid you yet when you were playing these hands??

I don't think so! IMO DosXX only chose old ones so he could repeatedly own me on camera

New/Old doesn't matter.

I do not agree that we should call /w 88-99 on this board. You said you would call /w a 7-8s type hand because you think you are drawing to 5 outs. 88 and 99 in this spot is virtually the same hand except for the fact that you are now only drawing to 2 outs vs. 5 potential outs.

I think you are under estimating how nice it is to have 3 more outs and 78 has a backdoor straight draw.

Explain to me how I am underestimating this.

the difference between 5 outs and 2 outs is a reasonably large one especially given the pot size? maybe i am not interpreting your question right?

Right, my point is that this is why we should fold drawing to only two outs vs. drawing to 5 potential outs.

I am not sure that the bet on the river is super standard. What do you want him to call you with that you are beating? If he slowplayed a K, he can now easily C/R for value, if he had something like 10s he is likely to fold on the turn. With any other ace you are chopping and not really getting any value either.

I think I was confused as to what you are arguing vs. what was said in the video. I think we should probably fold 88/99 on the flop and call 78s. Does that sound reasonable to you?

In my experience people call wider than an ace minimum in this spot. Lots of people won't cap and then they take this flop/turn and end up on the river with QQ/JJ/99/88 and don't want to fold since part of not capping preflop is under-repping their hand. Sure we chop with aces and now lose to a king that was waiting for the turn, but we also don't lose to any ace and how likely is it somebody shows up here with a king, given 2 on board and the post flop action?

I agree with underrepresenting your hand range, but Todd is not just any player and he realizes that if you bet on flop and turn on this board that you will usually have a strong hand and not bluffing all that much. I think you would check back QQ-88 on this board with intention of giving or calling on certain rivers. In other words, your range when you bet on the turn is quite value oriented and hence he should probably fold his 3rd pair hands.

Yes, I am glad we are on the same page.
