What great spot for a river bluff jam. The only issue is that there are plenty of instances where hero has the best hand. I’m not sure I would ever call here either, I’m either jamming or folding
When villain takes a polarizing action (flop c/r) and then takes a passive action (turn check) you’re incentivized to bluff pretty much your entire bluffing range (FD, OESD, gunshots, and air) because fold equity is through the roof. 99 isn’t a good turn bluff, we all agree on that I think. So, when you check back here it’s to call most bets. Deviation from this should be done when you have solid reads or good understanding of the population tendencies, I’m not sure we have either of those here other than the understanding that villain is kind of random.
very well said. i say this every time a hand like this is discussed: when opponent goes check/raise flop then check turn, especially at lower stakes, they are extremely polarized. they are usually either giving up on the turn or trying to checkraise you again. [note that this *exact* runout could be an exception bc villain could have KK/QQ that hes trying to bomb a safe turn card with but got scared by the ace, but legit like 95% this is what ive found to be true]. so IN GENERAL check back your mediocre made hands like this and bet your draws and hands with basically no showdown value. the only thing i would add is that 'incentivized' doesnt mean 'auto bet entire bluffing range 100%'. you still ofc need to be thinking about spr, this specific villains' tendencies, and other things as getting blown off your equity is always an awful result. not that you were implying otherwise js.
Bart, when most poker players say someone else is "good", most of the time they are just flat out wrong. The way the villain played this hand exemplifies this.
Villian actually played it near perfect, shoving river would have been better but he played it very close to perfect on every single street. (edit saw he didn't have a spade, its perfect with any spade bad without)
Imo bluff when the opportunity falls in your lap. A lot of factors need to come together at once to make it a good spot. Forcing it or making up your mind ahead of time to run a bluff not so good.
Agreed with Bart on river raise. Its a raise or fold situation imo. Also agreed with Bart on player. I can somewhat buy the 3 bet preflop but then check raise flop isnt indicative of a good player
@Jimmy Two Times not at all, if you’re happy getting almost 200 blinds in on this flop you’re losing. On an 832 board check raise is fine since opponent could be doing this with Jack queens tens 99s in range, 784 is not a board to check raise on in a 3 bet pot, opponent has all the better hands
I’m not even sure if I should be sharing this because it’s been so reliable for me. (I’ll try my best to articulate it) The check raise on the flop is inherently polarizing. When you bet and call his check raise, his turn action usually reveals which end of polarization he is within his range. Meaning, if he checks after you’ve called his check raise… he’s usually on the weaker side. Yes, he can be going for an ultra rare double check raise, (highly unlikely) so, I almost always bet. There are few river cards the hero will like with his specific hand anyways, so he may as well take advantage of his positional advantage with the betting lead for the sake of having better control of the hand on the river. He would fold a high degree of the time, but If he were to call your turn bet, he should theoretically and practically check to the aggressor giving hero the option to bet or check back on the river. Yes, a flop check raise and turn bet line could be a bluff as well, but (in this instance) why would the villain lay a trap, from an agressive check raise on the flop, back to passivity with a check on the turn while holding the strong end of their polarized range? It doesn’t make any sense. This is how an out of position player flips the script. They check raise flop assuming it will get a fold, then checks turn (giving up the betting lead after having been called) BUT once they see that the in position player has forgone the opportunity to take the betting initiative back (by checking back), the out of position player can bet the river with a high degree of success. The only way it would make sense is if the villain’s profile on the hero is that he would be sure that his check would induce a bet which doesn’t appear to be the case considering the villain knows the hero was playing higher stakes than he typically does. Another thing, if the hero is beat by JJ/QQ, the Ace would a scare card for the villain and hero’s hand will lose at showdown taking the realization route (of checking back turn and calling a river bet) whereas the agressive line (of betting turn) will give him more options on the river (if the villain hasn’t already folded the turn bet).
I think it makes more sense that villain had a marginally strong hand like Ax spades. That is a hand that is comfortable check raising a tight player's 5x raise preflop on the flop. On the turn, the A is a good continue with bluffs to target pocket pairs QQ and under. If he had Ax spades, checking turn gives pot control against a flopped set, a chance to stack a smaller flush draw, and deception against smaller pairs. Villain is giving 4 to 1 on the river, how often is that a bluff?
@@AT-bw4cm I agree with this more, villain got so much Ax of spades here, and when river misses most amateurs dont tend to fold anyways because of the "pretty hand" reason, its the same reason people dont fold aces, they like the hand to much to fold, this happens all the time in Omaha, people get like AAKQ double suited but they wont fold it for anything because of how it looks, even if the board is terrible for their hand.
@@AT-bw4cm I agree with that assessment of villains range. As played, (if his hand is close to 50/50 paying off top pair) I think hero’s hand is best served as a fold, or put villains top pair hand in a blender turning his hand into a bluff with an overbet (jam) on the river if there is sufficient stack depth left.
100% he just figured he'd take the pot from scared money. He checks turn because hero has A 50% of time and pairs sets etc along when calling a check raise. (What he thinks) But then hero checks A so now emboldened he decides to rep it on river and hero folded like he expe ted
When a guy raises from the SB with K10o, misses everything on a flop that smashes the buttons range, and proceeds to check-raise, I think that trying to understand what he's doing is a waste of time.
This is actually an incredibly common check 90%+ spot from sb and then check raise vs a button bet. You're right about the top end nut advantage of course but it's not THAT thick of a % of his range, but the fact is button is suppose to bet so often that check raises are viable. Even on a 678ssc flop sb should have a pretty thick check raise range (27%+ which is high in terms of check raise spots) The chat was right, overpairs do check raise with tt/99/88/77 being the hands that do it the most. AA-JJ also check raises sometimes but not as much because they need less protection, AA check raises the least TT check rasies the most and it goes down in a uniform fashion depending on how much protection needed. Above is for 678. On 874 you are suppose to check raise less actually even though its not a 100% check flop spot and 678 is, you still check raise 20%+ and strategy close to the same. Caveat being this is with typical sizings, everything was large here which def would change strat a bit but still should expect a fair amount of check raises. Kt off is actually a frequency 3 bet preflop and on flop with the Ks is actually a 100% check raise after checked. On turn KT with the ks nearly 100% checks then 100% bets the jc river with some sizing. So SB played it perfectly tbh. (edit... didn't hear he didn't have a spade, yeah that's out of line then for flop cr)
8:08 "It's live poker, who the hell knows what he's doing? He probably doesn't know what he's doing himself." 14:02 "He had K10o no spade". I bet even the guy in the chat didn't think he'll be on this level of spot-on.
When hero ISO 5bb and SB 3bets to 20bb, we are now essentially playing a 100bb stack depth due to the large sizes. SPR is only 5 so its very easy to X range on low boards as the 3 bettor OOP and play your value as a XR. Weaker over pairs QQ-TT make easy XR. Then to say Ace turn is a great barrel card is wrong as well. Is SB more likely to XR AK AQ AJ on the flop or over pairs? The ace is a good barrel card IF sb bet the flop and was barreling. When SB XR flop besides AsXs (not many combos) the ace is more of a brick.
Check 100 boards are flops that are so poor for the pre-flop 3bettor that they should never be leading out on them. Assuming players are constructing their 3bet range with any sense, a 862 rainbow flop for example would never ever hit their range. Of course, the exception to this comes with sets, but we generally do not place players on sets on board textures alone because of how few combos are left of them, in comparison to the broadways and overpairs they should be betting. This is why it is more of a 'range' idea--players would be c-betting with overpairs on that board, BUT the composition of their range (and specifically if the hero holds blockers to broadways or lower overpairs) should lean so much more towards ace highs and such that they check almost 100% of the time. This is because if you bet every time you have aces/kings/queens/jacks on 862r, your opponent will simply fold. There's never a pure 100% spot in poker but the limited amount of hands you play in live and variety of opponents means you effectively can use a strategy of checking every time on poor boards because you won't be playing with people long enough for them to adjust to your 3bet-pot cbet percentages, unless you literally play tens of thousands of hands with them.
you know how cat plays a mouse? Confuses it first! Then, mouse all confused, is scared shitless spinning in the circle aimlessly, and the cat does whatever it wants. 😂So this term: the primary purpose is to confuse beginners, green poker players, those who were always confused; to make sure they never get out of it...then it's easy to play them, cuz they will learn 0. Proof: just take a look at the large "explanation" in this thread above. Am sure, he even himself has no clue what he was explaining!??!🤣
It's really hard to check raise a check 100 board as the oop aggressor unless your opponent always every single time without exception, bets when checked to.
No, its correct. Overpairs are suppose to cr and bluffs/draws spread out evenly amongst hands with viable blockers/equity. You can't cr 100% of your value/continue range obviously but this is a very typical check raise spot (near 30% check raise)
I could see villain check-raising KK/QQ then checking turn cause he's afraid of the nut flush draw. A small turn bet and jam on river would've been a good line.
a good reg if he knows the villan has a high bet miss he can deff check raise AA KK wich this to over pair dont need much protection. now he is goin to bluff with combos like A5♠️ also wit this combo he is value betting any worts fush draws
While one can’t generally argue against 3 bet or fold from the small blind with limper(s), here the caller says the entire game is built around this whale. Flatting from the SB almost ensures the whale is in the hand whereas raising is trying to force out the one guy you want in the hand. It depends on the type of whale he is of course. Obviously if he’s cold calling a 3 bet anyway then we just raise but if not and he’s a regular way out of line whale post flop then the majority of the time we should flat.
Hi Bart! Hard Rock Cincy is a love/hate experience - if you’re kind enough to announce when you’ll be there, I’d love to meet up, I bet you could get a meet up game/event going there
the classic "villian is a good reg" and it ends up just being a button clicker on a heater. I swear you post a call with this scenario like once a week lol
Human nature. The only other option is that you admit to beating someone who did not know what they were doing or that even worse, someone that did not know what they were doing owned your soul......neither are great options for the normal human psych.......lol
Before seeing the end of the hand, from my low limit play, I’d say he has J/10 Spades and bet the Jack when his flush missed… He has straight blockers in his hand and the fact Hero checked turn, Villain does not put Hero on A.
Think villains play is fine, scared money on the button is easy to fold out via postflop aggression. Some whales also fold to 3bets. On the flop he tries to XR to fold out hero, then doesn't barrel on turn because he may have ran into a monster in the flop. But when turn goes check check he has the green light to bluff. River he can bet small to get flush draws to fold for a super cheap bluff.
what, you don't know what "check 100 spot" means? Then, you know nothing about poker! Only those who know what that means are strong poker players. The rest...just a mediocre, low profile players who should stay aside, keep mouth shut, and admire high class who understand high profile poker terms. So: just pretend you understand. Don't even dare to ask, cuz nobody will take you for serious. And then what?? Then you have to listen to analysis that author himself sound like he landed directly for solix. (FYI: solix is a planet just outside of the Solar system!).
the funniest part is that YT asked me, through a pop-up questionnaire, to rate these vids if they were informative content. lol ?(aka you're rated = good) cheers, R
just watched the whole vid. let me say that this is an anti-climax vid... and still I watched it till the end; what more do i need to say/do that Bart's content is absolutely one of it's own?!
honestly on the flop you can fold 99. you have lots of much better hands and lots of annoying turns (all overs except 9 and T) yes GTO wise you have backdoors and he has some flushd raws but i dont expect enough bluffs here. and you are behind overs + flush draw but way behind better hands.
that means: it's not check 99 Spot. it's easy to understand? one who does not do their 100, they'll never be there! Without it, I'm afraid, they won't understand much; learn even less. So, it's all their fault.
Honestly, the caller talking about 3 betting the flop isn't a bad idea. It's almost like a combo bet; over pairs SHOULD fold and hands that he's ahead of, like flush draws, will call. He also has a very easy fold if he gets 4 bet.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 oh that's right I forgot you only 3 bet the nuts on the flop. Where do you play poker? I'll literally fly out next weekend to play some poker with you.
Im actually Pretty proud and happy that my first instinct/thought was to raise it on the river. Pretty new to poker and studying a lot of hours everyday so I am glad to see that I am getting my head to think about the game in a better way
He's checkraising K10 on flop simply because hero bet so small, so he thinks he can get him off A higs. Its always amusing when Bart cant believe people play like this when most of them do random shit exactly like this
He calls people who calls from the sb with action open behind bad. And he is right. And then KTo as a 3bet from the sb vs someone who is iso? Really? That guy is a whale.
I don't think this caller understands that he blocks the nuts, 9T, so it's way less likely opponent had that hand. With opponent's line, a jam from hero on the river should get the job done at least 60% of the time.
UNF! YEAH BABY! I would stare that guy right in the eye, say "I think you have king high" (which is what I say every time I go all-in, even if there is king on the board) and JAM IT RIGHT IN HIS FACE, OOH YEAH! Put the man to a decision for all his chips! You got 4 combos of T9s and 3 combos of JJ to jam for value, so if you wanted to be balanced maybe you just bluff-jam the 99 combos with no spade since you want to unblock busted spades, and then your TTs can be calls at frequency? But FUCK BALANCE MAN I'M ALL IN AGAINST THIS FISHY LINE! if he took this weird line for thin value then he owns my SOUL and hears the LAMENTATION OF MY WOMEN because I AM ALL IN BABY AND HE GETS THE MAXIMUM. UHHHHHHH
If SB was a "good player" he would want to keep the whale in the pot. Doesn't make sense to classify someone as a bad player because they flat the SB when the whale limped. Why would you wanna iso yourself against a reg? Rather go MW with the whale.
I could certainly see an Axs hand playing the hand this way. I would expect some players to check an A on the turn because they have some value now and don't want to bloat the pot if they are outkicked by a better A. On the river, I don't see why a raise would be good? The villain is not betting a J, so at worst their value is Ax+ and I'm certainly not in the business of trying to bluff players off of top pair, it gets called so much. If they are bluffing river, there is no reason to raise because they will not call anyways. However, if the villain checks the river, I would bet because you might be able to get them to fold an A or J depending on the player type.
I don’t like your flop bet sizing at all, $125 into a $400 pot is asking to be f’d with and unfortunately his $350 check raise doesn’t give you a whole lot of information bc he can cc with AK. You’re range capped bc you called the 3 bet and since you’re never making such a small flop bet with a set, your hand is kind of face up as 99-jj and over card flushes. A bigger flop bet something around $200 would better disguise your hand and make villain act more straightforward as a flop c/r with air would cost him $550+ instead of $350 and threaten more of his stack if you flopped a set. The turn check screams defensive pot control and you have to make a decision. His most likely hands are kk, qq, AKss, AQss, so you need to figure out if you want to try to blow him off of them with a turn and river bet which will likely be big. A bluff raise on the river after checking the turn feels spewy bc your line makes no sense for anything other than missed spades w/out an ace. Any set/2 pair would bet the turn given the drawy nature of the board and try to set up a nice river jam. I think you played the river fine
so interesting... in this situation where u have a whale limping, that you want to play with.. is it better to limp behind rather than raise, to guarantee the whale is in the pot, even if/when the blind raises, the whale will probs call 1 raise and u call behind and play in position ??
hes lying. He had exactly AA. He checked the turn because he got too greedy and wanted to check raise again; he didnt expect to hit the Ace and was most likely planning on barreling on MOST turns. The river essentially bricks, and he doesn't know what to do except go for some value. He's milking you for $350 because after you checked back the turn, he doesn't think you can call much. He probably capped your range somewhere between 8-x suited -> Pocket 10s. Granted he could have probably polarized his hand and shoved, but you probably wouldn't fall for that.
I would raise the flop bigger maybe 250 or even 300 and if I get to this river I dont know sometimes I call sometimes I dont if I play against the nit I fold this if I play someone agressive I call sometimes. These are tough spots you have to make wrong decision sometimes its inevitable
If anyone needs help bluffing I recommend alcohol.

It's really hard to check raise a check 100 board as the oop aggressor unless your opponent always every single time without exception, bets when checked to.
No, its correct. Overpairs are suppose to cr and bluffs/draws spread out evenly amongst hands with viable blockers/equity. You can't cr 100% of your value/continue range obviously but this is a very typical check raise spot (near 30% check raise)
I could see villain check-raising KK/QQ then checking turn cause he's afraid of the nut flush draw. A small turn bet and jam on river would've been a good line.
@@brianwilson7624 I mean small turn and jam by 99. Sorry, should've been clear.
I wish you would come to Cincinnati Bart for real. Great action.
I love Hard Rock in Cincinnati. Favorite place to play.
What does “tight configuration” mean? That both players are supposed to have tight ranges in that spot?
a good reg if he knows the villan has a high bet miss he can deff check raise AA KK wich this to over pair dont need much protection. now he is goin to bluff with combos like A5♠️ also wit this combo he is value betting any worts fush draws
While one can’t generally argue against 3 bet or fold from the small blind with limper(s), here the caller says the entire game is built around this whale. Flatting from the SB almost ensures the whale is in the hand whereas raising is trying to force out the one guy you want in the hand.
It depends on the type of whale he is of course. Obviously if he’s cold calling a 3 bet anyway then we just raise but if not and he’s a regular way out of line whale post flop then the majority of the time we should flat.
Is a river raise by hero pretty much repping only the nuts therefore polarizing his range and possible getting called by the top of villains range?
Hi Bart! Hard Rock Cincy is a love/hate experience - if you’re kind enough to announce when you’ll be there, I’d love to meet up, I bet you could get a meet up game/event going there
Solver will cr a ton on this particular flop....especially most overpairs...
the classic "villian is a good reg" and it ends up just being a button clicker on a heater. I swear you post a call with this scenario like once a week lol
Human nature. The only other option is that you admit to beating someone who did not know what they were doing or that even worse, someone that did not know what they were doing owned your soul......neither are great options for the normal human psych.......lol
Where do you stream this?
Hi what does the phrase "check/100" mean?
It means you check 100% of the time, no matter what your two cards are.
Thanks! That makes more sense. I kept thinking it meant to check/call 100% of the time haha.
Before seeing the end of the hand, from my low limit play, I’d say he has J/10 Spades and bet the Jack when his flush missed…
He has straight blockers in his hand and the fact Hero checked turn, Villain does not put Hero on A.
Think villains play is fine, scared money on the button is easy to fold out via postflop aggression. Some whales also fold to 3bets. On the flop he tries to XR to fold out hero, then doesn't barrel on turn because he may have ran into a monster in the flop. But when turn goes check check he has the green light to bluff. River he can bet small to get flush draws to fold for a super cheap bluff.
Solver likes villains play. Got some brilliant studying
What is check100?
Villain absolutely did not have KTo. He just said that to make you feel bad about your fold.
@Bart Hanson, what is a "Check 100" spot?
a board where u are suposed to check 100% of your range
what, you don't know what "check 100 spot" means? Then, you know nothing about poker! Only those who know what that means are strong poker players. The rest...just a mediocre, low profile players who should stay aside, keep mouth shut, and admire high class who understand high profile poker terms.
So: just pretend you understand. Don't even dare to ask, cuz nobody will take you for serious. And then what?? Then you have to listen to analysis that author himself sound like he landed directly for solix. (FYI: solix is a planet just outside of the Solar system!).
the funniest part is that YT asked me, through a pop-up questionnaire, to rate these vids if they were informative content. lol ?(aka you're rated = good)
cheers,
R
just watched the whole vid. let me say that this is an anti-climax vid... and still I watched it till the end; what more do i need to say/do that Bart's content is absolutely one of it's own?!
Check 100 often means a lot of check raising Barty boi
No one ever considers the fact that at times an unorthodox line works best
We’re in the age of robotic solver poker.
honestly on the flop you can fold 99. you have lots of much better hands and lots of annoying turns (all overs except 9 and T)
yes GTO wise you have backdoors and he has some flushd raws but i dont expect enough bluffs here. and you are behind overs + flush draw but way behind better hands.
What does Bart mean by "Check 100 Spot"? Thanks to any information the audience can give. I love these video's thanks.
Check 💯% never bet
that means: it's not check 99 Spot. it's easy to understand? one who does not do their 100, they'll never be there! Without it, I'm afraid, they won't understand much; learn even less. So, it's all their fault.
@@moneymikz Thanks
The whole time I was thinking KQ off.. to me it felt like the guy knew he could make him uncomfortable enough to fold a over pair or even a ace.
Honestly, the caller talking about 3 betting the flop isn't a bad idea. It's almost like a combo bet; over pairs SHOULD fold and hands that he's ahead of, like flush draws, will call. He also has a very easy fold if he gets 4 bet.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 oh that's right I forgot you only 3 bet the nuts on the flop. Where do you play poker? I'll literally fly out next weekend to play some poker with you.
God the boys at the Cincy cash tables are all 70 yr old nits and loose aggro 30y/o’s. Very interesting 1-3 and 2-5 games
Villain prbbly had A5ss, i prefer jaming river blocking T9s t9c
Call or raise
The villain couldnt even come up with a plausible fake hand lie.
Agreed. More than likely Villian had QQ,KK, or my theory of AA.
Im actually Pretty proud and happy that my first instinct/thought was to raise it on the river. Pretty new to poker and studying a lot of hours everyday so I am glad to see that I am getting my head to think about the game in a better way
He's checkraising K10 on flop simply because hero bet so small, so he thinks he can get him off A higs. Its always amusing when Bart cant believe people play like this when most of them do random shit exactly like this
😀
I love how Bart calls every player that's not a nitt a bad player
He comes from PLO8 where its actually true.
He calls people who calls from the sb with action open behind bad. And he is right.
And then KTo as a 3bet from the sb vs someone who is iso? Really? That guy is a whale.
He is a nit himself
I don't think this caller understands that he blocks the nuts, 9T, so it's way less likely opponent had that hand. With opponent's line, a jam from hero on the river should get the job done at least 60% of the time.
8:42 will make it crystal clear I saw that I blocked the nuts. Guess you didn’t watch the video?
last famous words: I have had blocked the nuts!
BTW, when you plug the 50% of your hollow bucket, does the milk stop leaking? 🙃
I got the STONES man, it's a HELL OF A DRUG.
Jamville all day easy
If you dont raise river with 99 as played you are a Spot at My table. Also he lied, he has A5 a6
Before reveal We are probably not good...crying call
UNF! YEAH BABY! I would stare that guy right in the eye, say "I think you have king high" (which is what I say every time I go all-in, even if there is king on the board) and JAM IT RIGHT IN HIS FACE, OOH YEAH!
Put the man to a decision for all his chips! You got 4 combos of T9s and 3 combos of JJ to jam for value, so if you wanted to be balanced maybe you just bluff-jam the 99 combos with no spade since you want to unblock busted spades, and then your TTs can be calls at frequency? But FUCK BALANCE MAN I'M ALL IN AGAINST THIS FISHY LINE! if he took this weird line for thin value then he owns my SOUL and hears the LAMENTATION OF MY WOMEN because I AM ALL IN BABY AND HE GETS THE MAXIMUM.
UHHHHHHH
Im folding. You scared me, already!
SB played the player, not the cards. WP sir.
Mayonaisse. Mayonaise. Mostly I just write Mayo. Nothing to do with this video obs. Eggs and Toast.
If SB was a "good player" he would want to keep the whale in the pot. Doesn't make sense to classify someone as a bad player because they flat the SB when the whale limped. Why would you wanna iso yourself against a reg? Rather go MW with the whale.
Who knows Cinci Joe? LMAO
I don't believe villan's story.
Live poker, as I said, who the hell knows what this guy is doing! You just click call next time.
Bluff your entire bluffing range Lul
I could certainly see an Axs hand playing the hand this way. I would expect some players to check an A on the turn because they have some value now and don't want to bloat the pot if they are outkicked by a better A.
On the river, I don't see why a raise would be good? The villain is not betting a J, so at worst their value is Ax+ and I'm certainly not in the business of trying to bluff players off of top pair, it gets called so much. If they are bluffing river, there is no reason to raise because they will not call anyways. However, if the villain checks the river, I would bet because you might be able to get them to fold an A or J depending on the player type.
First
I don’t like your flop bet sizing at all, $125 into a $400 pot is asking to be f’d with and unfortunately his $350 check raise doesn’t give you a whole lot of information bc he can cc with AK. You’re range capped bc you called the 3 bet and since you’re never making such a small flop bet with a set, your hand is kind of face up as 99-jj and over card flushes. A bigger flop bet something around $200 would better disguise your hand and make villain act more straightforward as a flop c/r with air would cost him $550+ instead of $350 and threaten more of his stack if you flopped a set.
The turn check screams defensive pot control and you have to make a decision. His most likely hands are kk, qq, AKss, AQss, so you need to figure out if you want to try to blow him off of them with a turn and river bet which will likely be big.
A bluff raise on the river after checking the turn feels spewy bc your line makes no sense for anything other than missed spades w/out an ace. Any set/2 pair would bet the turn given the drawy nature of the board and try to set up a nice river jam.
I think you played the river fine
Deftones the band? That's my favorite band
So long as more than 50% of your bluffs get through, you're on the right track.
Ohio moment
so interesting... in this situation where u have a whale limping, that you want to play with.. is it better to limp behind rather than raise, to guarantee the whale is in the pot, even if/when the blind raises, the whale will probs call 1 raise and u call behind and play in position ??
You should always play it that way.
Don’t believe it
I love he says that the guy is a “bad player”, but that guy won the pot. 😆
Bad players can win pots yes. Anyone who’s played an hour of poker knows this.
Worst comment I’ve seen, this is why poker is easy
hes lying. He had exactly AA. He checked the turn because he got too greedy and wanted to check raise again; he didnt expect to hit the Ace and was most likely planning on barreling on MOST turns. The river essentially bricks, and he doesn't know what to do except go for some value. He's milking you for $350 because after you checked back the turn, he doesn't think you can call much. He probably capped your range somewhere between 8-x suited -> Pocket 10s. Granted he could have probably polarized his hand and shoved, but you probably wouldn't fall for that.
I'm honestly just paying the cheap price in this spot cuz I wanna know wtf he's 3betting pre and x/r flop with on 874ss
I would raise the flop bigger maybe 250 or even 300 and if I get to this river I dont know sometimes I call sometimes I dont if I play against the nit I fold this if I play someone agressive I call sometimes. These are tough spots you have to make wrong decision sometimes its inevitable
What is a check 100 board?
🤣😂😅who knows!🥸
A board you’re supposed to check on 100% of the time
@@austins3215 There is no such a board!! It's wrong even contemplating something like that.
