    interesting point at the end that the calls we get here are maybe not representative of the larger population of hands (they are getting called in because they are NOT usual hands). also it is hard to estimate the true frequency of "wackiness" because those wacky spots def stand out in our memories and make us think they are more frequent than they are.

      Couldn’t agree any more. I had AK for top 2 pair at a 1/2 game, slow played my top top on the flop and bet big 2 streets when I turned top 2 on A2K7, river came a Q and opp had JT, when I bet river he shoved for 7x the pot and i tank called thinking I was so under repped. No one’s creative enough at those stakes to bluff jam that much.

      true. CS and NITs are most frequent customers at small stakes. Learning how NOT to pay a NIT nor a CS when they hit their hand is the key for a cash cow. One needs a hand reading for that, though. Another thing they have in common is they do not bluff!! So: helps reading.

      I disagree, considering that hero's hand is basically face up. The great majority of the time, he has JJ or TT, confirmed by the fact that he must have looked like he was going to puke while deciding to check the river. All villain had to do, was decide whether hero is the type to check-fold or check-call when puking.

    I feel like I want to coin a new term. River Nut Ownership. It's like Nut Advantage, but that's usually something on the flop and something that is not complete & total.
    RNO is on the river & complete and total. Hero NEVER has the straight here. I'm going to say that again, hero NEVER has the straight here. He raised pre, bet flop, bet turn, and now checks this river. He NEVER has the straight here. So what bluffs does villain have? Any hand he arrives here with. Now I will freely admit I did not think AK was going to get here, but villains actual holding is not of great interest to me. Because there are plenty of hands he could arrive with, like TX. Why would he bluff with something like AT or KT? I'll answer with a question, why can't hero have AA or KK here? Or how about 99? At any rate, under bluffing goes out the window when villain has RNO.
    P.S. I am aware that sometimes high level pros might trap in a spot like this. But this is not Antonius V Dwan. This is Joe V Bob at the local 1-3 cash table. So again, at the very least in the villains mind, hero NEVER has the straight here.

    As played, I am never, ever folding. Basically, the only hands you lose to here are 87 and QT.

    If I know I'm check folding then betting makes no sense.

  • @1vailchris
    @1vailchris Год назад

    So...as played, I can't give hero credit for the straight on the river, which opens the door for V to bluff with any hand he has that gets here. V's repping QJ, but I'd think QJ would either donk-lead or x/r turn with some frequency, and 3 of the J's are accounted for, leaving V very few combos of QJ. Top set sure seems like a check-call here, given hero's line. If V has the straight, so be it. I'm not folding river after putting more than 1/3 of my stack in. I think I might just jam turn.

      It's not a clear call because what bluffs take this line? It's crazy for AKo to limp/call and then float the flop with a guy behind and then call turn! So wild. Then at small stakes not many people turning top or middle pair into a bluff at the end. So really I can only think of 56dd, k6dd, J8ss, A4dd that make any sense. Whereas so many Qx and 7x combos.

    Not entirely sure Bart understands the blocker bet concept. He said "What's the point if a better hand is just going to call you". Here that makes absolutely no sense. Why would a better hand than top set ever just call? The point is to prevent him bluffing you off the best hand. If you make a small bet and he folds it ISN"T pointless, it prevented the bluff (where you would have check folded) because you've show interest in your hand. And if he calls he's probably beat.

  • @colintimp1372

    When you're this deep into a hand you should have your mind made up of what you're going to do before you check the river. At this low of stakes, given the stack sizes and all the weird crap I've seen, I'm probably never folding here; so I like jamming this river. There's at least a small chance you get a seven to fold; as you can have QQ here fairly easily.

    Extremely hard to get called by worse on the river. Just check and call ALL bets on river imo. In villains mind hero is NEVER checking a queen on the river so that in their mind gives them the green light to fire. What queens does villain even have here? Only queen that makes sense for villain to have is queen jack and hero blocking that hand. He’s not getting to the river with ace queen that’s for sure and king queen makes no sense to call turn bet with so if villain bets on river the ONLY hand they are repping for strong value is queen jack which again hero blocks so yeah I’m just check calling here 99.99% of the time in this exact setup. I’m at 12:44 haven’t heard results but I can guess it goes check on river and villain jams. But yeah I’m calling. Of course I was right. You missed this one Bart and this one was easy.

  • @EfficientRVer
    @EfficientRVer Год назад

    If I am villain and have never played there before, here is what I think. I think heros's preflop raise sizing screams JJ or TT. So, with AK, I would have 3-bet him preflop, to the 200-ish stack size of everyone else in the hand. Happy to race or dominate everyone else, and race him too with extra money in the pot, if hero doesn't figure I must have AA/KK/QQ and fold. If everyone else folds, their donations are limited to 35 apiece, but I'm OK with that, too.
    So, I think villain missed the easiest profitable way to play the hand. But he still figured out how to take hero's money due to a lucky/scary runout. The absolute only way hero has a straight is if he did his 12x (which you can view as 9x plus 3 limpers) raise with QQ or AQ, and for one thing, the river check almost rules that out, and for a second thing that preflop raise sizing rarely means QQ at low stakes, it almost always means JJ/TT.
    As villain, I much prefer exploiting hero preflop as a sure thing, to hoping for a scary enough runout to exploit him on the river. If I played villain's hand preflop the way he did, I fold the flop, because I know I've got only 2 overcards, vs either an overpair or top set.

    I’m so sorry but unless this man is a super OMC or you have some incredible read on him. low stakes players are too bad to fold in this spot. You’re getting 4 to 1 on a call. I am sure that one out of 4 times he is either bluffing a weird hand like this or value betting worse thinking you have like ACEs, Kings or one pair holdings. I think check call is a fine play.

    You need to have a pretty sick read that the guy is never bluffing to fold there I think.

      Not even. Villain never gets to the river with a queen here unless it’s EXACTLY Queen Jack which hero blocks. No way he has queen king with the way the bets and calls went. No way he has ace queen the way it was played. Queen 7 doesn’t make it to the river. Queen 8 doesn’t make it to the river. Easy call
