  1. Short Stacks Win

    absolutely love this video. the way you explain hands clearly makes it really easy to learn. lots of stuff here i’ve never fully thought about or applied to my game. P.S. what do you use Strong vpn client for?

    Hey Ben. Good to meet you in Nottingham . Gutted you didn’t win but still a great result.
    Have a question on the 10 9 hand donk lead. Can you ever donk lead a bluff there on a wet board? Or do you need say a min of 30bb ? Are you not worried about being unbalanced in those spots? Ie;he only donk leads 20ish bb with a super strong hand. So villain can probably barrel you off a lot of hands knowing you aren’t nutted?
    Sorry that probably sounds really amateurish but I was curious .
    Love the series btw.

    thanks Tom, likewise!
    Regarding the 10-9 hand where i lead flop (flopped straight right?)
    If the reason we re leading is to get him to 1. spew at us , 2. not to check down with showdown value, then i dont think we can lead there. We could check raise bluff if we think his cbet range is weighted towards air and gutshot hands.
    If im going to donklead bluff id rather have some equity, whether it be gutshot, overcards etc

    Regarding being unbalanced in those spots, i dont think too many people are leading flops so i dont think villains can really pin me down to ranges. Infact the whole reason i lead flops is to give my opponents and improper vision of my actual range, and warp their thinking.
    While there is some merit in being balanced in some spots, you re pretty unlikely to have same spots with villains over and over in mtts *unlike cash* and so its less important to being balance. In mtts, its much more important to play each hand optimally according to our villain, table dynamics and perceived image. Average regs are obsessed with ‘being balanced’ and ‘not raising any part of my range’ but really if they want to be making more profit, theyd be better off working on how to play each spot optimally.

    Just re read this, looks as if im calling you an average reg Tom, certainly not the case at all!
    I think ESPECIALLY in micro/low tournaments where the player pools are 1000s (and mainly unaware) the need for ‘balance’ is non existent.
    There are certain situations where I will not usually have a 3bet value range (which mainly comes when we have very premium hand when we re facing a raise from UTG, UTG+1 raises – less so from the button, but particularly in the BB) There are certain spots when 3betting just looks too strong, so I generally take those as bluff spots.
    There are also certain spots where im almost never going to be re raising as a bluff (just player/board texture dependant really)

    All excellent points thank you Ben. I took being an average reg as a compliment to be honest 🙂 .
    I loved that play with the donk lead on those boards . Such a good spot for cash games to. And it never even entered my head before this video series.
    Watching the HH review of daveys deep run alongside this . Really good to watch that with some of this theory stuff.
    Cheers for the replies

    Hey Ben, wanted to start by saying excellent series, thanks! With the J-10 hand at 39 mins, when the spade falls on the turn, if he calls in that spot are you barrelling most rivers?

    Thanks.

    Hi Ben. Excellent series, thanks. I really like the donk lead with 109s. I’ve noticed a lot of regs reaction to this type of bet is just to give you no credit for a hand or put you on some kind of draw and raise. Curious about the j10 lead though- surely in a 3 bet pot he has a lot of ak, aq and some ace of spade combos that he’s calling you with. I feel like the only thing you’re getting to fold there are pocket 10s and pocket jacks.
    Thanks again for this series, some really interesting spots.
