Hey Pete i think you misread your hand at 29:35. You flopped bottom 2. Think you thought you had just one pair. Im assuming a raise over the half pot bet on river makes sense?
@@CarrotCornerPoker That i can open the chat below and find an honest contentcreater who simple says: fucked up my bad in spot x, is so usefull. It is actualy rly good for learning. Just wanted to say: these normal mistakes dont make your content worse, when u reply to them. I was rly happy about this one and finding this anwsere
I can't figure out why you folded 2 pair on the river to the hp bet. Can you please give some more detail in comment? Thank you and thanks for the content in general.
Some misreading I guess, which is quite unlikely to do it in-game and during a review but more likely than thinking it's a fold, there's no way :) Peter: it's at 29:38
Well Villain just always has a set in this spot don't you think? Kidding. I misread my cards...twice. In game and out of game. It's sort of embarassing.
thank you so much for showing the showdowns, I'm one of those people whose feelings were hurt by hiding the showdowns. I apologize for the aggressive requests)
33:04 Betting smaller than optimal OTR with value hands to increase my frequency of getting paid is a hardwired-in mistake from my MTT-focused days years ago. Pete I appreciate you continuing to hammer this point home for us. I find myself continuing to make this error but less often now than before (my A-game doesn't contain it). I'm currently rewatching Grade 1 videos before formally taking the exam next weekend and am happy to know now that Gr2Lec6 will hammer this point home again with the "Greed Theorum". Cheers
@@CarrotCornerPoker No need Pete, just keep doing your thing! Sometime 3-11 months from now I'll get a coaching 10-pack with you, after having thoroughly and methodically gone through the CPS and playing tens of thousands of hands in that process so we have something to work with. The way you teach us how to think about the game really resonates with my learning style, so thank you!
Even tho I like this format too, for me personally, it would be cooler to see videos of you looking at one to three hands that are similar Spots/Board textures, where you explain a concept a little depth. Keep up the cool work! :)
Sorry for the late comment: on the Q6dd hand at 4:05 wouldn’t the idea be to trap hands that don’t interfere with his thin value region? And wouldn’t that make Q6 a bad option? Or is this a complete exploit based on the fact that villains x back range is too weak and thus has virtually no thin value at all?
At 37:23 on the T64ddJdK with AQ no d, you say "easy jam for value", I put this hand in a sim because I was very skeptical of this claim and your combo is a check 99.5% for the time (vs a 1/3 bet river), basically AQ no d is really not a happy shove (and even less vs a 100% bet river)
Interesting. A couple of thoughts here. If it's only a check 99.5% of the time then either you sim is very low accuracy or there's basically no EV loss associated with raising. We have to be really careful when using solvers that we check the EV of each play and not assume that when a frequency is high it means that one play is better than the other - it doesn't. I think in reality most of the hands that beat us in theory here are like usually using a bigger sizing quite a lot of the time but I think this is closer than I originally thought. Thanks for commenting!
@@CarrotCornerPoker I meant it's a **call** (and that's vs a b33, I don't own/paid for a solver, so I sometimes use the daily free sim of GTOW, and vs a b100 it's even more of a call because villain is more polar ofc) I also agree that villain would prob bet more with better hands, but in order to get calls from 2p/Kx/AJ I'd rather min-raise or do some other obnoxious stuff like that To be clear, I don't think the solver is the ultimate source of truth, we play vs humans and I think the solver is a mean to an end (the end = take human's money), I'm just seriously wondering if we have a value shove vs a reg here (and imo it's less of a shove than vs a solver who will find more calls), and here even vs a fish it's tough to get calls by = straight always calls
29:30 what the hell is happening there with that two pair fold?? So many other hands that you beat that villain bets like that surely? I'm probably raising for value on the river lol
I think I explained this fully in the video when I said ‘this was a very placid recreational player’ I agree this is a very winning call vs the average rec though.
The games are quite a bit softer than PokerStars at stakes like 100NL and 200NL as far as I can tell, but I'm not sure how much so at 25NL. I definitely like 25NL Rush and Cash is very beatable.
@@CarrotCornerPoker Thank you for your reply. Yes, but after play 16k of hands on nl25 ggpoker, the rake was 281$ according with my database. Maybe nl100+ is worth it on gg than low and microstakes.
16:17 feel that you’re glossing over the turn decision without really thinking. As you said, flop jams are most likely ax, and draws with immediate outs, 66-JJ are by far the most intuitive calls for a fish Most likely way checking “lets villain get there” is a rivered set, his *true* equity is utter trash here.. he’ll probe the river a lot and fish actually might pay off river with hands like JJ, a huge part of his range which is rarely(if ever) continued on the Qh turn I’ve watched your content religiously, and would appreciate your thoughts on my comment.
I really like these videos and I learn a lot by watching them. I'm thinking of buying the Carrot Poker School course. You sometimes mention discounts you offer. Are you planning on doing that anything soon?
Hey Pete, another great video. This content is so good, and I feel like my cash game (aka my thought process) is getting better video after video. It's prolly time for the cash injection! Time for my customary question of the video. This session saw you with tons of big hands on the river OOP. You mentioned the idea that hands that can call big bets will bet themselves, was this something that just happened to come up over and over, or should we rarely be betting nuts OOP on rivers, even when our villain checked turn? Would love any extra input on the thought processes that go into betting vs checking 90%+ equity hands OOP on rivers.
Hey Andrew, thanks for the kind words. I think it would be really dangerous to take this pattern and apply it out of context. We want to check big hands on the river when we think our opponent is relativly polarised, but there are tonnes of spots where they're actually the opposite and have condensed ranges that often call bets but rarely bet themselves. The skills is figuring out what your opponent's range looks like by hand reading. Board texture, and previous action sequence are the two most important pieces of the puzzle when doing this.
@@CarrotCornerPoker No problem, favorite channel rn. So yeah, kinda what I was figuring, we just happen to arrive with very high equity hands OOP vs polar ranges a bunch. I was asking cause I went "man I don't check my nutted hands that often on river" and wondered if I was doing it too infrequently.
I just have to say this bro i dont want to lick your ass or anything. But you are fakking amazing. You have honestly given my game such a boost. Its because you actually explain the perfect mix between gto and exploitative. You name the theory, then say things like pool may be underbluffing this spot. Or you say check raising this flop works good against the pool. This is honestly so usefull man all the other youtubers just say : check your marginal made hands. But then in another video they say: you can bet small with your entire range on this flop. Cmon man what is this its so confusing. YOU are the perfect mix. THANK YOU SO MUCH. i mean it. I might get a full scholorship very soon. But i think ill start with cash injection.
A card being bad for our range means we bet quite infrequently, fold much more than normal vs bets and have to be selective with what we bluff and favour hands with more implied odds and redraw when bluffing. It does not mean that we can't build a betting range, and it certainly doesn't mean that we can't use large sizings which we build around very high equity value bets. In fact the most theoretical way to handle spots like this is to use a big bet or overbet at a low frequency with a polarised range of thick value and prosperous bluffs. Nut advantage is what controls sizing. Range advantage governs bet frequency.
Yesterday I got into a 4-bet pot with a 95-year old man, and he check-min raised, then downbet, then tanked and sloooooowly slid his stack in on the river for 90bb. I paid him off with 3rd pair because of anti-blockers and it's YOUR fault. Clearly your youtube content is designed to turn people into donks in order to punish us for not purchasing the carrot poker school.

I have been 4bet'd by the A7h by a pool reg, is that also disrespectful or is it bettet with the hearts?

What solver is recommended?
Solver chooses the same turnsizings in the TT and AQ hands. Very well played!
Thanks but I don’t aspire to be the solver :-D
the “if you fold this you’re an absolute nit” got me
29:35 folding 2 pair to a b75 on a passive line?
I know I'm a calling station but isn't that Hella nitty?
Nvm saw the other comments
8:20 When a player disrespects you with a 4-bet like that , it's a good sign all his money are going to go into your way.
you are a god. an unsexy and nerdy but godlike creature- wpwp
45s hand, you need eyeglasses 🤓
folded 2pairs :D :D
Indeed fellow Pete.
I thought was just me. I was like we really folding two pair here to b75 dang.
I also didn’t understand what happened there. Did he miss read his hand or is this a complete different level of poker ?
