    This hand demonstrates how large bets on boards that your opponent doesn't expect you to bet often result in the bet looking "polar" and getting called down lighter.

      @@Kassadin10 not necessarily...that's too polar and easily picked up on. If you can place your opponent on a range of hands, you adjust your bet size accordingly to either A) try to get paid because you improved or B) try to get them to fold a hand by looking strong. If you put your opponent was on a draw and missed, you bet smaller to get value just in case they backed into a pair with show down value. If you've been aggressive most of the way and continue to do so on the river, you can get called down lighter b/c they're not putting you on the straight/flush that came.

    Love the these videos Bart. I like following along with the step by step logical thinking. It's just interesting even though I rarely play poker anymore. One thing I think that might make them even better, if I may, is a conclusion section at the end. Not necessarily a step by step summary but more of a higher level what did we learn conceptually segment. Might go some ways towards meeting the claims made in the video titles too lol.

    So we’re thinking JJ or QQ for villain? A set doesn’t really make sense because of the statement “…but I knew you didn’t have one either.” Referring to an ace which leads me to believe he has a hand worse than top pair. KK has to raise pre, I don’t really see J10s or similar calling pre with 2 ppl left to act behind.

    I was thinking of 3 barreling on the turn just because there weren’t that many bluffs, but had some second thoughts because there are flush bluffs, but otoh if the flush card came, you could bluff that. Turn when the 6 came I was thinking that would have been perfect. I was also curious when Bart said there wasn’t any back door equity on the flop, when there was a three straight, which is where the idea for barreling came from if you picked up the straight draw on the turn.
    Regarding using the big amount to value bet (e.g. $450) and a smaller amount to bluff, as opposed to the reverse, this reminds me of Sklansky’s NLHE book from years ago pointing out this was a common error among newbies which would lead to minimizing gains on value hands while maximizing losses on bluffs. It’s not really relevant regarding this hand, because of the leveling going on, and level of reasoning being at a higher level, but I couldn’t but be reminded of that point from this book which must be about 25 years old now.
    One last point is that solvers will not infrequently recommend aggressive action on the flop with hands with back door possibilities while less aggressive lines with one card draws because if you get raised off your equity, you don’t care, since it’s not much, whereas you would care with the draws. So this came to mind at the flop that it seemed like it could be a nice 3 barrel possibility.

    Lucky run out and great over bet(it looks very bluffy). I probably would’ve been hoping to pull off a cheap bluff or just give up after a flop that basically guaranteed that I was now behind against V’s 3! cold calling range.

  • @magicalelvishman
    @magicalelvishman 6 місяців тому +1

    What about KK? You cold call from the big blind with the hope to bait a squeeze. If you raise and get called, you'll be playing multiway out of position. If you call and get called, at least the pot is a bit less bloated. You just call on the flop because you're leery of the ace, but on the turn with the middle straight possibilities you don't feel obliged to protect. Then on the river you think maybe it's a busted flush bluff, rationalize that a naked ace wouldn't bet therefore polarized, and you call off because it's KK?

      *_What about KK?_*
      *_You cold call from the big blind with the hope to bait a squeeze_* squeeze by who? relying on your opponent to do your job??
      *_If you raise and get called, you'll be playing multiway out of position_* Multiway 4-bet? If you're afraid of that, then fold your KK and get immediate stress relief!
      .
      when you play your hand wrongly from the start to finish, you get busted. That's a beauty of poker, that unfortunately does not work all time. Only 75% (my own stat).

    Villian says he didn't have an Ace? I'm calling bs unless he had a set of 10's or 8's. Especially when he called off at the end. He didn't have air. I can't see him calling with jacks to kings either. Too many two pairs or an ace x for hero . He was only uncomfortable at the end .. definitely wasn't afraid of that ace

    I think applying GTO in these games is a mistake cause the basic principle is the other player needs to be applying it also. Hero got lucky cause after checking turn he gets looked up on brick river. I doubt KQs is in BB's range with 2 others to act. I wonder if people are calling more with dominated hands cause they "block" them.

      That is how it works. Look it up. The concept of GTO is great for balance etc but you're making a mistake by focusing on it when your opponents aren't. GTO is needed at the highest levels where everyone is great. It's no where near as necessary in $2-5.@@jacevincent2574
