    Hi andrew…I assume that a factor (maybe the most important?) for raising in the Ato hand vs the crazy lag, is that you put a lot of pressure on the bb who is the person with kinda the stronger range right ? so would you still raise if you were HU with him and not 3way ? Do you think that calling flop to raise turn is a viable option hu ?

    Good questions. Forcing the BB off of his equity is definitely a factor here. I think raising is still slightly better than calling HU, although you’re going to fold out fewer better hands so there’s more of a case for just calling.

    My concern with calling flop and raising turn is that there aren’t that many blank turns so it may actually be harder for you to rep a big hand this way and also Villain has a lot of room to turn a strong hand with a currently weak holding. And it’s a more expensive bluff than just raising flop.

    You have to give respect to people who play PLO professionally as i think it is toughest variant of poker in genral… They are generally better No limit players than even decent no limit players.

    Yeah the impression I get is that it forces you to understand a lot of poker concepts better than many pure NL players do, because the game is more complex.

    Hi Andrew, the two book reviews on poker tells you recommend do not appear to be on your site, at least I can’t find them.

    Thanks

    Hi, nice video series! Question though at the 14:00 mark roughly you are advising shoving 66k at 1500-3000 blinds with J4o with two players behind left to act. This seems absurdly bad to me, maybe I am missing something?

    The book you don’t recommend is written by Joe Navarro and the title is Read them and reap them. Co-author is Phil Hellmuth (not Annie Duke, AD is mentioned in the foreword), but he just added the usual sick brags from him (for example he folded KK pre only three times in his life and Villain had AA in every single case).

  11. Foucault

    It’s approximately breakeven if you assume both players call with {66+, A9s+, ATo+, KTs+, KJo+}. In practice I think the button will call tighter than that. Live amateurs tend to have far from optimal calling ranges in these spots.

    I don’t like the call with 77 ?
    6k from an 80k stack ?
    IMHO you aren’t deep enough to set mine,in fact your not full stop.

    Into part 2 now after learning a LOTTT from part 1 and 2.. Thanks a bunch for this series!! Just one question

    In the hand at ~45 mins into the video, you defend K2o and check-check flop and turn, and call his bet on the river putting him on a blatant bluff and that he didn’t catch any piece of that.. What if he showed K9 or something and you guys chop the pot, but you are forced to show that you called a nit down with K2o? Does that affect your table image in a more negative way? If so, how do you adapt to that? Do you change your style of play to show some good hands and regain respect?
