    Hi Andrew, thanks for your video. I’ve got a question concerning that T2s spot at 32:43. What’s your flatting range in spots like these? Would you still have made the call PF if you’d had let’s say 20BBs and less? What would your BB flatting range look like then? Thanks for your response

    17:28 – what’s the reasoning for not bluffing the Q on the river when you have AK, seeing as it’s likely you are beaten, but you might be able to get better hands to fold?

    Hi andrew,

    Great series as always. A question about the AKs hand around 22 minutes in the video. Why don’t you just stick it in here ? I know his range is strong, but there is already so much money in the pot.. and there could also be the possibility of an AK in there, QQ maybe even JJ. I think calling is worse because you’re folding all none Axx Kxx boards and even with an Axx Kxx board you might run into a set, and Kxx vs AA.. to invest 2700 more into calling, with an a pot of around 12kish and villain with 17k left…??

    AK is closer to the top of my range than you might think. Remember that all I’ve done so far is open the button and c-bet the flop. I have plenty of 9- and T- and J-high on the river. I definitely don’t want to bluff all of my no-pair hands and AK actually has a fair bit of showdown value. Villain could have worse Ax or busted draws that I beat. In the event that he does have a pair, I don’t think it’s that likely he folds it to a single bet on the river, and I think he’d be correct not to, as any pair should be in the top half or so of his range.

    I talk about most of this in the video. Why does the fact that he could have QQ or JJ make you want to shove pre-flop? I need 43% equity to make shoving preflop cEV neutral. I have less than 41% vs {JJ+,AK}. Yes, I will miss the flop a lot, and I won’t always win when I hit. I’m also getting 3.5:1 to see the flop.

  6. Foucault

    I talk a lot about my range for calling a min-raise from my BB in my videos and in the comments section on some older videos as well. The bottom line is that I don’t fold often getting 5.5:1, certainly nothing suited. I probably call or raise at least 90% of hands. Shallow effective stacks would make me even more inclined to call, because immediate pot odds would matter more and implied odds and postflop playability would matter less. Even we assume that Villain needs an extremely strong range to raise from a 20BB stack, T2s has better than 20% equity against {JJ+,AK}. That jumps to 24% if you include AQ in his range.

  7. Foucault

    Sorry that should be 4.5:1, which would make T2s a fold if you knew you were up against {JJ+,AK}. That’s an absurdly tight range for an open though, and I still think that throwing AQ into there is enough to make it a call.

    Hey Andrew, awsome series once again , I have a question regarding the last hand @ ATo.

    I would of thought that flatting with it ain’t terrible as such and obv its opponent dependent , in that exact same spot i’d flat hands that have good flopping value like KQs/KJs/JQs/T9s. If for instance we think V tends to raise call 3-bets a bunch would you prefer calling with ATo or would u still prefer to 3-bet it as a bluff?

  9. folding_aces_pre_yo

    I also would like to add that , if we think V is capable of raise calling with a wider range ….ATo can then be 3-bet for value….. so against these type of opponents we should then widen our 3-bet value betting range?

    am i on the right lines here ….
