BRILLIANT explanations!

This series is awesome, I really like the combination of preflop talk in terms of adjusting and taking good steal spots, and some interesting postflop spots.
Im curious if some of your assumptions would be altered if this weren’t such a high buy in tournament, ie the field was more passive and stationy on average , would you be jamming that river with A7 at the end of the video?

I think the best defense against aggressive 3 bettors is to 4 bet a lot when out of position and mix 4 betting and flatting when in position.
Foucault
Certainly. Whether you’re bluffing or value betting, against better players with good hand reading skills it’s more about what you’re representing. You still have to have an idea of what they have, but in order to get the result you want, you have to tell a plausible story about your own hand. Against weaker players you mostly just need to know what they have and bet accordingly. Small value bets to get paid by weak hands, big bluffs if you’re trying to make them fold anything remotely decent, etc.

Seeing your point out a few of your own misplays shows the value of reviewing my own hand histories in a replayer.
Curious, when you got it in with QQ vs. AT around 18 minute mark about how you would proceed in those few spots where an Ace hits the flop. I expect villain would have either lead out the same, lead out slightly bigger, or jammed.
Foucault
I would have put him on a range, thought about the pot odds that his bet was offering me, and estimated whether I had enough equity against that range to call. Most likely I’d end up calling once and folding to further action.
This is a good illustration of the importance of balance. When I flat an UTG raise from UTG1, I’m mostly going to have big Aces or pocket pairs. Thus, I can safely fold the pocket pairs to heavy action knowing that I’ll often have an Ace to call him down. And if I don’t make a pair with my AK or whatever, then I can safely fold that to heavy action knowing that I’ll often have sets or overpairs on those boards.

love the explainations on the hands as percise as they are. Usually hands that are played, I’d be in auto pilot and move on but Brokas, you do a good job in explanation. You do talk kind of fast. Need to slow you down just a bit.

Have question about last hand with A7. How about clicking it back instead of calling on the flop to induce a shove from the villain? I think he can easily assume that we are trying to re-bluff him. And as played what would you do if the turn wasn’t an 7 or A and he goes all in?
mike666
I Just think that with calling his raise on the flop we are representing a pretty strong range and therefore he may be hesitant to bluff on future streets.

LoL

Please can you tell me what you mean at the 6 min mark by “there are certain hands you are suppose to be shoving in the small blind?” What are these hands? also if you have criteria for big blind?
Thank you

I notice focault hasn’t answered your question so I hope nobody minds if I answer the thing. With 10 big blinds effective stack with hero in the small blind hero has a very nearly 100% shoving range. So if you see a player not shoving nearly 100% here, this is unlikely to be because he doesn’t have a hand he should be shoving. It is way more likely that he just doesn’t know his push/fold ranges properly.
I am aware this is an old vid so it may not be answered, but I also have a question: anyone feel free to answer…
At 7:32 ish you have flopped an open ended straight flush draw, where either the straight or the flush is more likely than not to hit. I’m just wondering why you say that you don’t really want to have to get it in here. Surely you would want to get all the money in with what will likely become the best hand?
The Riceman
foucault i meant

I imagine because he doesn’t really want to risk his whole tournament with a 60% chance to make a hand. Also if the villain has a better flush draw hero has lost over half of the outs. I mean most of the time out draws will be good, but he is looking to make a deep run and has a strong stack, so do we really want to risk everything on a 60/40?
Would love to hear a reply as I am new to all this!

the opponent is the only guy who has him covered, and at that stage of tourny maybe taking a higher equity spot on later streets to get the rest of the chips in…not sure…
kid_fro21
On the QQ hand, around 18 minutes in, if the villain hadn’t made such a large c-bet are we still raising the flop c-bet? Or are we calling to try and induce a second barrel that will commit most of his stack?
