Hi Andrew,
On the AQhh hand at the beginning: i agree with everything you said about the flop play, i usually use the check call line myself but i also thought about an alternative line: what do you think about check raising there ? I think we could balance it with strong OP, in order to be able to put tps and middle overpairs in though spots by the river…(i agree this may not be the perfect scenario to use the check raise since we are a lil too deep and we ll not be able to treat his entire stackby the river but what with lower spr, is it an applicable move in your opinion ?

Re. the AhQh hand mentioned above – I see a lot of villains at smaller stakes c/c w. AK on the flop, so on that basis could we not lead the turn rep’ing the K, planning to barrel the river (or get there). It has the advantage of us not c/folding our equity on the turn, plus by the time we bet turn and river he is pretty uncomfortable with a lot of the mid pairs in his range, which he is feasibly betting big to protect on the flop. I think the K can be a good card for our range but never really his, unless he has a set which will be somewhat less often than he flopped an overpair.

I don’t think that check-raising is really how I want to play strong overpairs. Three barrels would put top and middle pairs to tough decisions with our without a check-raise, and there are enough other draws in my range to do that with that I don’t think I need to take a hand with as much showdown value as this one and turn it into a bluff.
Foucault
I do address this a bit in the video. Even if Hero could have AK in his range, I think it’s a stretch to give Villain credit for enough hand reading skill and discipline to fold on that basis.
In terms of not check-folding equity on the turn, that’s only a concern if we’re incorrectly folding that equity. Check-folding to a PSB from T7hh is better than betting 2/3 pot and getting called by Th7h.

At 21.36 with A9s – would you have still called a shove if you had to risk your entire stack here?

At 33 min with A10s – what would be your plan if the opponent did bet the turn weak (like 1/4-1/3 of the pot size) instead of checking?
Foucault
Yes!
Foucault
I think a small, possibly min-raise planning to bluff any river.

hello, nice thought proceses, but sometimes you extrapolate way too much and unnecesary imo; it gets boring.
Foucault
Thanks, I know this is a leak of mine, trying to be better about it in vids I’m working on now.

Hi Andrew
In the QdTd first hand you bet pot on the turn. Was there a reason for this? It just looks so “button clicky” to me that is doesn’t seem right. Or was that your intention? I totally agree about betting big OTT but I have a real aversion to Pot/50%Pot etc bets. Just looks real amateurish, which like I say might have been your intention. I like the betting big on turn as we’re getting our value now in case we cannot get a river bet from villain. However I actually like overbetting pot here rather than pot. I think if a villain is going to pay a 1094 Pot bet they will pay an extra 20% – 30% on top of that. It also makes our hand look quite vulnerable, like we are trying to protect a marginal 1pr hand. What are your thoughts here???

Hi Andrew
In the AdTd hand where you squeeze to 800, how do you choose your sizing here to squeeze? I often find spot like this difficult when there are multiple overcallers…. I don’t want to go too big in case the OR has a nutted hand and sticks it in my eye and I have to end up 3b/folding too good a hand but I also don’t want to go too small where the overcallers will be tempted to flick it in also and I don’t really achieve much with my squeeze other than bloating the pot and then am left with having to hit to continue with confidence. I think because of this I end up peeling too much. Is 4x your “standard” (I know you hate that word) size here and then you vary according to table and dynamics or do you have another formula for your sizing???

On the Aheart 9heart hand from your cutoff after the flop you have a flush draw. The bb shoves after flop (after he raises and squeezes before flop).
You mentioned you have 45%(42% needed to call)equity to the river. How did you calculate that? Are you assuming his range to be about 99plus,66, 55,22,A6,A5,A2. on equilab it shows 43%. I believe I am following your reasoning. I just want to be sure.

I disagree. The depth is great for me, and whenever I find myself getting ‘bored’ it’s usually a sign that I’m not yet thinking on that level and a sign for me to stop the video and really think about it myself.
