in the A4 hand when he had K 10 do you think he'd be shoving on you with his whole range on the turn even after you called the flop bet and have no fold equity? as you said in the video he knows you have a lot of 10x and potentially some draws but if you were in his shoes would you try to bluff / semi-bluff that spot when there is little to no fold equity? I feel like because of that the A4 might have been a little loose of a call, but thats why you're where you are and i'm still playing 100 dollar tournaments
yeah I guess you are right. I think our range is too strong so that he wont find many bluffs and we still have good Tx and 7x we can call and some traps. I think we should fold 4.

At 13.50 it was 6 way and they had some equity on turn ben mate, but u were huge fav, they had boat outs, wasnt pointing that out to be nit picky either sorry. Great vid as always Ben, cant wait until next one, have great weekend and good luck for the sunday grind mate, also love it at 16.50 approx u say "people clicking buttons today its insane", then 3 seconds later guy ships 60 bigs with A2 off lmao
420 is argo for weed,there is a huge story behind it how it started,even like 4.20 pm is the time to hit a joint and so,there is a whole background behind 420 that started from some guys in california
Ben at 23.45 when i think it luc greenwood, sam brother, bet calls AK, is it really bad or just bad? Your reaction would indicate its not good lol, but what level of bad is it? Dk you think he calls unblocking clubs? And do you think he is maybe folding Ak witb A clubs? Or you think then he calls having the BD flush draw?
Hi Ben, what is your strategy for micro stakes? For example 38:00 you can't guess their hand. I try to play like pro :) but I loose 2$ or 5$ tournemants. I am better at 50$ buying or more.(I am not pro so I want to play first micro stakes) They can open 52s from mid or they can call 3bet with 108o. Can you give us advice?
Just understand and take into account that there will be lots of players calling and raising very loose with real wide hand ranges so best to just pick your spots well and get it in ahead and hope you don't get donked out on 😂 best of luck buddy, it is possible to still be a profitable player at micro stakes as I am just that
At 23.16 where you flop quads, i am bit confused , obviously not saying your wrong, i never comment for thinking that, after all i watcn these to learn, but i assume saying ace 7 is great bluffing hand, but surely you not targeting pairs to fold and you are beating everything that not an ace or pair, so just leaves targeting better aces to fold but then you are blocking their folds! Isnt that a problem, or are you targeting pairs with 4 outs and maybe clearing villains equity when they have 6 out hands like KQ etc?
if you check raise flop, bet turn and jam river you start targeting overpairs which should fold. And blocking quads is very important. You also unblock a lot of JT QJ KJ hands which cbet the flop and fold to a raise.
Ben can you explain why the chip leader shouldn't call JTs there? I thought it was standard given stack sizes his equity vs your range, and him losing and extra 500k chips really doesnt even matter.
@@juanpablolopez2645 i ran it and according to nash its minus ev. We shouldnt jam loose here since we arent the shortest stack so we jam sth like 55 A2s A8o JTs QJo and better and against that he doesnt get the needed equity even if he is the biggest stack
I dont like seeing u run bad ben. But i like seeing not only me runs bad. Shows me that its normal and we gotta stay mentally strong to excel at poker. Ty for the video! I was watching the stream live. Felt bad for that last hand 😠😳 but we gon get them next time-!!! 💪💪💪
Thx for sharing mate. In fact, the call on 3bet 150bb deep BU vs SB I was sure that it was going to be a cooler but it's not PLO there is no escape lol :)
Hi Ben, I was wondering if you think population plays worse during SCOOP etc.? Or does 'population' just always play pretty bad? Genuinely curious. Love the content, cheers
Isn't j 10 suited a standard call with amount of chips he had and knowing u jam any pair and ace lows Or am a missing something esp with dead money in pot and chance to go further ahead
I guess the benefit of the JTs call is that your EV in future game increases because even if you loose Ben would be 2nd in chips and when Sami is in LP he has perfect position to put max pressure to Ben in the blinds sitting next to the 2 shorties and also Zhao and Haxton cannot open a lot given their stacks.
The TJ call is terrible overall you want TJs calling against your 8 BB HJ shipping range but unfortunately u just dont want the bad call when u have the pairs 99 and below portion of your range, anyway next time you jam 8 from the hj and he calls JTs you have Jacks and have him dead, GG ben and thanks for the content!
At 20.23 you say he has ace 3 suited etc but that beats your ace queen but yeah this has to be clear value bet spot, you gettjng called lighter than ace x even huh? I actually learnt to value bet rivers much thinner afted watching your streams , obviously depends on lot of factors but main one is that they will call with worse, not to fold out better huh
seeing this makes it a lot easier to take the beats i take in my low stakes games i play i would have destroyed my computer and the entire room around me if i where you you take it like a pro
Overplayed the quads. I'm not on your level, but he led out, called a check raise. I would have let him fire. Only way to extract more chips is by letting him take the lead.
So if he has an overpair, we check raise him and then we check the turn, why would he bet with an overpaid if we basically say we have quads or nothing?? What are you valuebetting? It would be a terrible mistake to start checking your quads on the Turn.
@@RaiseYourEdge i would have called the flop, check the turn and let him lead out. If he has something like a mid-high pocket pair, I don't think hes folding. If he was just stabbing with Ace high, probably no value either way. I just feel the check raise on the flop was a little too strong imo
@@RaiseYourEdge the only value you'll get from him is what he's willing to lead with. Unless he has aces or Kings, shoving or playing aggressively into him will just induce a fold. I could be wrong. Again, we play different stakes. In the $109, I flopped quad sevens heads up, both fairly deep (40+ BB) 20 from the money. Check called flop for 3bb into a 8bb pot, he led the turn for 9bb, and I bet the river and he called off with 10-10 on a 7-7-7-8-6 board. I guess it's entirely open for interpretation and the settings. I don't see them often enough to be a expert on playing them. I've always slow played as much as possible. There is a chance they have aces or Kings and will snap off. But you don't want to push smaller boats away. Just my opinion.
Yeah but as Ben said it's -ev so he wasn't getting the right equity to call there especially against Ben's shoving range when he wasn't one of the short stacks so his hand would be real strong there generally
You got some balls to do those bluffs with 10k$ buyins :) but ye your bankroll is obviously also very big. Only with the big 3bet preflop with 6-8 I'd bet bigger on the flop, high chance ur opponent missed the flop and u gotta protect ur hand there. If you bet big your opponent will most likely believe you have a premium pair and will fold, a 1/3potbet is too easy to call with pretty much any hand and then you can still lose the hand.
