    This is a great video series. I watched Andrew’s series on Savvy, cant remember what the name was, ‘tackling the turn’ perhaps? It was heavily weighted towards post flop play, which I believe is one of the most important topics a beginner player can focus on.
    Personally, I know I need a lot of work on my post flop play, not because it sucks, but because I believe that improving your post flop skills is the key to becoming a long term winning player (amongst many other) though it’s really hard to come across a series which will focus solely on post flop play and hand reading/ranging skills.
    Andrew, thanks a lot for the series, really looking forward to the next episode. Cheers!

    Thanks for all the enthusiastic feedback! I’m excited to be here and flattered to see my first video garnering so much praise so quickly.

    Please don’t hesitate to offer constructive criticism either. I’m always trying to make my videos as helpful as possible, and I can’t do it alone!

    Thanks again, and I look forward to meeting you on the forums and perhaps in person as well.

    Best new addition to the site. Andrew is an amazing teacher and has selected his first couple topics for this site quite well if you ask me.

    I plan on re-watching this series several times. It is definitely something I need to work on to take my game to the next level.

    About 7 minutes into Video 1, with the slide “Identifying Monsters”, you reference “Suspicious Checks”. However, I didn’t really understand what that meant. Do you have any examples that would help with that concept?

  24. Foucault

    I do talk about that in future videos if not this one, though I’m not sure I use that exact terminology again. The idea is that any time a bluff is likely to work but someone doesn’t bet, that indicates he doesn’t believe he needs to bluff. Good example would be if a middle position player opens, BB calls, flop comes A95r, and MP doesn’t continuation bet. This is a board where MP can easily represent a strong hand and it’s hard for BB to get a piece of it, so he probably will fold very often. If MP chooses not to bet, it often indicates some showdown value, usually a medium strength hand such as AT or KK.

  25. Hamishk

    While “Suspicious Checks” is noted on slide “Identifying Monsters” starting around 7 minutes into the video, I didn’t really understand what that was about. Any chance of some examples.?

    hey andrew , around 15mins into the video the part where you said how your opponent is likely to call you with draws/airs on a draw heavy board whilst that is true , there’s also a chance they may call with marginal hands for instance , hero opens utg with AhJc (50bb effective) button calls ,flop is 9sTsJs , although i may very well have the best hand here , i may decide to c/c on the flop for pot control, especially against an aggro opponent that can raise hero otf and put me in a tough spot…

    thoughts on this?

    Sorry for the very slow response, I don’t often check old videos for questions. I believe I talk about this at some point in the series, but it refers to a player who checks in a very good bluffing spot. Classic example is if Villain raises in middle position, Hero calls from BB and checks a A73r flop. This is such a tough board for BB to check-call on that Villain can almost certainly profit by betting any two cards, and with his weakest hands betting is definitely better than checking and giving up. Thus, if Villain passes up this very good bluffing opportunity, I’m inclined t think he doesn’t have a weak hand.

  28. Foucault

    I’m not saying draws/air are the only hands that would play this way, just that you can’t rule them out based on this action.

    Finding this much easier to follow than the recent range construction series. Pleased you mentioned it early in that series so I can focus on these basics first.

    Great series. This might be a stupid question, but have you made your slides available anywhere? I can grab them from the videos anyhow, just thinking it would be convenient if you have them as PDFs or powerpoint or something, would be nice to be able to review all the bullet points.

    ok so at 1704 you use a word that I am sure is some kind of English but way beyond my vocabulary. Any elaboration/explanation appreciated.

    combinartorically means combinations google it but basically the combinations of non pairs are more than the combos of pairs for example
