You said it at 12:49 - hero does NOT have Tx. Once you know that, and villain knows that, now you're in a weird spot where one villain value bets a set. And another villain bluffs something like QJ/A5. Both targeting AK.
When I went to Hamburg Germany, the casino had a better exchange rate for dollars to euros than the bank The games are miserable and highly raked though But Hamburg is a beautiful city The Travel Rewards card with zero exchange rate on purchases in € is really the ticket
very tough, could still have some aq, but yeah 4 liner to the straight and blocking a lot of diamond draws just eliminates all the bluffs. wouldve beena good fold but i get the sigh call
If villain is a good player, he's going to fold almost all Kx to a rec in a 5/10 that 4bets preflop. Too large a chance of being dominated. A hand like 54s - J10s has 10% more equity than KQs when hero has AK. So I don't think hero having Kd matters. The turn is the key. If villain had a flush draw then he should start bluffing on the turn which is a much more credible river bluff than checking back turn then betting river with a busted flush draw.
Lots of US casinos will exchange common foreign currencies but typically at a bad rate. Certainly big casinos like the Wynn in Vegas changing Canadian dollars was quick and easy.
I feel like I want to make a remark on the magical nature of AK, but I shall hold my tongue. In this particular hand, it seems the river is the crucial decision. I don't see it as that tough though. As Bart often points out; people in live casino poker simply do not bluff the river often enough to make calls like this profitable & I agree. Although I will note that they probably should in this type of spot. Hero never has a ten here & he probably has the strongest holding he could have [other than perhaps KK]. It's hard for me to say what I'd do here, because I'd never play this hand the way hero did. But I think after the 33% C-bet on flop and the check on turn & river, hero has under represented his holding so much HE should probably call.
I have played in that casino and at gran via in Madrid. The rake is 4% no cap. If you convert USC to euro, it’s a big amount to convert. I recommend a currency exchange if you’re there (better is to do it at your bank in the US before going) or just go to the ATM machine. It’s still high but cheaper than at the cage. Interestingly in Madrid, they play backwards. The action goes counter clock wise. There were times I thought I was on the CO but was actually UTG. They have spots on the table in Madrid marked (1,2,3 etc) so that makes it easier.
ATM is by far the better option. You get maybe a flat $5 fee. They make the "money machines" look just like ATMs for this very reason as they will try to sneak in a horrible exchange rate and $20 fee n
@@MichaelJamesActually I paid more than 5 because I got the money out in euro. It still was significantly cheaper than the cage. I think it was like $17.50.
@@D.D.-ud9zt I would usually agree but I didn’t know that until I was at the casino. I figured I would play for a little while just for the sake of playing, but even with the uncapped rake a couple times I played I won. They were a lot of people calling pot bets on the river with metal pair with top pair no kicker.
There are casinos that exchange foreign currency. Detroit casinos do (Windsor, Ontario, Canada) is a bridge/tunnel away. They won't take your coins but will trade for the bills. When we go to Caesar's Windsor we normally just exchange cash at the cage. Today the current market value is 1 USD is 1.37 CAD at Caesars today it's 1 to 1.33. They are taking a small cut, but you would be hard pressed to find a better rate somewhere else.
I think that a weaker two pair might think that it has showdown value because hero could have a suited ace and just one pair. So i think that the villain would just be turning his own suited aces into bluffs. On the other hand, QJ blocks Q-10, J-10, QQ, and JJ, whereas a hand like A-3 only blocks A-10 and AA. Still, I think QJ probably checks it back hoping the hero has a hand like A-7 suited. A hand like A-2 suited would know that it's chopping at best, so it's a more likely bluff than QJ. Whether or not to call here depends on whether or not the villain is going to turn his weak suited aces into a bluff often enough.
I play with many euros at hard rock hollywood and at these stakes they always tend to have it in these types of big pot spots when obvious draws brick.
A small, unimprotant thing: some US casinos will change CAD, or used to. In the era before things like exchange rates were trivially updated on a minute-to-minute basis, there were sometimes some currency lines that you could arb for a small amount. Not tons without heat, but more than 0. There's more discussion of this in Blackjack Autumn, but afaik it's a totally dead play now.
Funny how my first thought on this river was bet/fold. Get cry calls from AQ/AJ that could trap turn sometimes, maybe even KQ as.played, sure we block those but those are still more combos than of JJ/QQ. Especially since the caller ended up check calling vs a very small bluff frequency, might as well use that some of that call money to extract value when you're ahead.
Honestly. I was expecting villain to have TT. But I'm used to smaller stakes bad players who would gladly stick around in a 4 bet pot with TT and then call a flop bet with A,K, or Q on the board knowing full well those cards heavily favor the 4 bettor. JTs to me is even worse though. Villain should be folding JTs to a 4 bet pf most of the time. Overall villain played this hand like a donkey and got lucky. If the turn was something like a 6c hero bets the turn fairly often and JT should be folding there very often. He got the perfect run out and it's gross. Edit. I looked at GTOwizard. JTs is a call on a 4 bet around 40%. So it wasn't a horrible call. After the Q came out everything else played pretty much according to GTO. AKo is checking there more often than it's betting. Then on the river AK is calling close to 50% of the time when CO jams. Pretty sick run out.
We never have a better hand symmetrically except maybe kk and we block atcc and ktdd so I think our hand is a reasonable bluff catcher (probably one of the best) I’m also not convinced villain is 3b calling ato kto preflop at any reasonable frequency so his value hands are ATs KTs QTs JTs and TT. Is he underbluffing? If so we can fold everything. He bet 1.5p so I think he needs to have 60% value to be bluffing at correct frequency. Between the board and our hand he has 10 combos of the non pairs and assuming he always calls flop with TT with a d and always folds without that’s 13 combos total of value I think meaning he needs a little more than 8 bluff combos to not be underbluffing. My *guess* is that he won’t quite find enough bluffs for this sizing…
Yes, the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada offers currency exchange. Some say that casinos in Las Vegas can be a good option for exchanging currency, and that the exchange rates may be a good deal
Agreed. This is exactly what I was thinking after watching the video. Obv we have all the info after seeing the result but you have to assume most times your ahead on the flop and my thinking is if you bet bigger on the flop and he calls you have a better idea of where you stand / villain stands
that could be stated differently: If you're checking the turn scare card, then you MUST fold to a river bet. (simply: that scare card is on the river, too! V checking the turn back, does not remove the scare card). . EDIT: River card is even more scare than turn card!
@pot_kivach160 yes my thoughts exactly. The hero was worried about AJ, AQ, JJ, QQ on the turn which would all have bet that turn while the villain's hand probably would have folded to a bet because he has to worry that you have those or even a flush draw including a pair of aces and the nut flush draw. When it gets checked back though and now the villain bets 1.5x pot on the river it just screams he has it. If you bet the turn and get called it's a much tougher lay down and your getting better odds but most likely gets checked back.
A 50% pot block bet on the river from hero could see very different action from villain. Could have induced the shove with the river check. Hero turns his hand face up without getting money in on the river.
For the record, if you give them $1000 USD and lets say they give you 850 Euros, if you end up with 850 or more euros at the end of your session you can go back with your ticket and get $1000 USD back for the 850 Euros. Not a horrible deal
Have not seen end of hand - but this one is very close, might even resort to live reads. Sure, hero can’t have Tx and has to defend *something*. But the real question is: what bluffs does villain have here? I’m guessing a solver really likes turning a hand like KQ, KJ, QJ into an overbet bluff here against hero’s 4-bet range… but how many live opponents are finding that line? Safe to say at lower levels nobody is turning 2 pair into a bluff on the end, but maybe a high stakes Vegas reg might. I think a critical detail here is bet timing. Even a very tough villain capable of making that type of play would have to take a few moments instead of snap-bluff-jamming a hand with deceptively little showdown value.
I agree with this - I think the most important issue here is that hero can't have a ten (not to mention has a reduced chance of having AA/QQ/JJ)...and we have to assume, even at low limit levels, that any competent villain knows this. You're now in a weird spot where Villain A is safely value betting a set to hope AK calls, and Villain B is bluffing QJ hoping AK folds. All because both villains know you can't have a ten. And that's what makes it close, as you say. Depending how often we run into Villain B.
Not sure I get to the river this way. I'd be raising more on the flop (half pot), and probably splitting leading on turn or check all in on the turn. If I get called down, the result is the same though. Sometimes the deck is against you.
Not sure about that - not sure if JT calls a turn bet of most sizes. JT has to know they have no more than 6 outs, and usually 3 or 4. Even implied odds suck for JT on anything more than a 1/3 pot bet.
this sounds like not understanding what is a normal bet size for the game and the player(s). caller said the villain was regularly double straddle and occasional triple straddle. villain wantas to play for 3/4/5 hundred a hand. playing preflop to 370 is just a small raise to them. so concepts such as range need to be adjusted. JTs is a pretty typical raise/call occasional 3 bet hand. for the villain in this case, that’s what i suggest was in their mind and hence playing through with the pair of Js and running into their straight was perfectly reasonable.
Yea, seems like an interesting spot to bluff since its so value heave for OOP 4-bettor. I would think AQ or even QQ or something just takes showdown value there.
9:30 on the “not way ahead/way behind” debate, apart from the flush draws (which there should be fewer of in a 4-bet pot when hero holds the Kd), I’d kind of agree with hero that he is? He has any worse Ax or pp crushed to 3 or 2 outs. A5hh, AJ or JJ have hero totally crushed to 3 outs or worse. So that seems to fit the bill to me?
Agreed. . However, despite of that turn card can change everything! a) give V ahead (J, T, 9) b) give me far more ahead (A,K), that V would give up c) a scare card (Q, A) that could cripple any other action d) a brick would've made V to fold my Turn C-bet Therefore, I am C-betting LARGER on flop. (>50% [pot size).
Same for me in Madrid.. The regs at freaking 1/3 play like it's 50NL online. I got lucky the one time I went but I don't feel confident enough to play against these people yet
If the villain knows that hero does not have any 10x, Then he can bet AA, QQ and KK (JJ probably too thin), on top of any 10x. This means that he has a lot more value than just 10x. And he balances this with missed diamonds with and without a pair. So its probably a break even call against a thinking player. Maybe fold considering you have the K of diamonds (blocking his bluffs) and call with other AK?
I dont think he really has any hands hero beats here that play this way besides whatever slivers of QJ or 99 he might have as crazy bluffs. All the pocket pairs and any ten are beating us and all the 2 pairs just check it back all the time. We're just bluff catching, maybe a bit unlucky if villain somehow thinks AQ is good here and is betting, or turned it into a bluff, seems unlikely
River: AK is a fold all day long! The only hand that he beats is AQ. Not even that one, as V would've respected AK. So: no way out. Unless, V is a lunatic with capitol "L".
What I like with this video is that shows how NOT to play 4-bet pot postflop. Both H and V misplayed it! My take here is: H: hit him harder on flop. C-bet 50% at least. Then if you get called, with scare card on turn give it up. V: Fold the crap Preflop! In case you have clay for brain, then get rid of your clay on flop with an A and C-bet.
Bart, I think you're wrong about foreign currency at casinos. They take bags of pennies from drug addicts at my local . I just bet the exchange rate is high
It's small, but why would TT call to any sizing on this flop in a 4 bet pot? You literally are drawing to 2 outs at best (often stone dead to perfect perfect) pretty much 100% of the time. What 4 bet hand, even the bluffs, is behind TT here?
@@pot_kivach160 uh, what? JT is an absurdly different hand from TT. When behind, you can have upwards of 7 outs to improve, not just 2. And it's still a pretty terrible call.
@@Jermo484 JT chances to improve are LESS THAN pre flop aggressor chances to improve on this kind of board. (you figured it out, I see no need to prove obvious here). When you add that V is most likely behind, then calling flop C-bet is ridiculous play. TT/JT same crap. It takes runner runner to get out of the hole.
@@estranged12I think the comment relates to (0:47) Bart getting all pedantic on the $ / € conversion values with the caller. Seemed a little snarky. Bart's hemorrhoids musta been acting up.
Euros are terrible for a game. No one likes playing with them. Go experience our high crime rate or something. A lot of people don't like Americans so I don't have to like Euros. They think they no more than we do about our politics, play like a tight mouse at the poker table and are generally NOT WELCOME.
I think the River let’s hero get away from this hand it’s a clear cut fold you beat absolutely no value and I honestly think worse 2 pairs from the villain here check back for showdown value
I tend to agree. I ran it through GTO+ and as played it's the same line that the hero played. If I were the hero I'd be thinking that I've only risked 250$ of my stack. I'd rather fold then to lose it all on what very likely is a made straight. I get that JT should not be in the villian's range, but Lord, who plays strict GTO ranges other than Linus... and this is live. Even at those stakes I'd say that most people don't play strict GTO ranges.
The reason they convert dollars and we don't convert other currency is because the dollar is the world's reserve currency. At least for the time being, anyway.
Still relevant comment, those are main, stable currencies that allow tourists to come gamble. Not as relevant for the US as the USD is number 1, but much more in Europe with tourists flocking in.
You have more options to exchange money in Europe because it's a normal part of their day to day lives. The Euro is obviously the universal currency for EU nations, but all those countries still use their national currency as well. Going from country to country in Europe is akin to going to a different state in the US. Currency exchanges are super common throughout the continent.
Not in your average 1/3 game. But any thinking player could find a bluff there Even with 2 pair of villian realized hero Never has a 10 here when he 4bets from UTG
Dude says nobody is doing this without a 10 😂😂😂. It’s called a bluff. Maybe not in a small game but any decent player in a 5/10 game can make that bluff
Haven’t finished the video. But this caller’s comment about villain not having a lot of bluffs is wrong. He could have AJs, A9s, A5s, A4s, 98dd 87dd 76dd, KQdd, KJs, QJs, or even 99
You're betting off just folding these spots unless you have a nitty rep or your opponent is bluffy. Ignore comments about this extensive palaces in the UK or how he usually plays much higher, which could all be bs, UNLESS the fold/call button is literally 50/50.
Merit Casinos are an experience. I played at the one in Montenegro last year and I took up smoking to fit in with the rest of the table. It’s like a time machine playing poker and everyone is smoking at the table.
I understand what you mean. I’ve just never had a problem getting off substances. I assure you it’s nothing special I’m doing, it’s just essy for some people. I have other bad habits I can’t kick, but not smokes…
Actually now that I think about it. I do taper off gradually. For those couple of weeks I was smoking I was probably doing a pack a day. Then when I was getting off I would do like 6 cigarettes one day, 4 the next, then maybe 2, 1, and finally no more. But that was just so I don’t get nicotine withdrawals. If it was that easy for everyone, nobody would be hooked.

River: AK is a fold all day long! The only hand that he beats is AQ. Not even that one, as V would've respected AK. So: no way out. Unless, V is a lunatic with capitol "L".
What I like with this video is that shows how NOT to play 4-bet pot postflop. Both H and V misplayed it! My take here is:
H: hit him harder on flop. C-bet 50% at least. Then if you get called, with scare card on turn give it up.
V: Fold the crap Preflop! In case you have clay for brain, then get rid of your clay on flop with an A and C-bet.
Bart, I think you're wrong about foreign currency at casinos. They take bags of pennies from drug addicts at my local . I just bet the exchange rate is high
Yea, unless he knew something about you. Seems like only 10 there.
It's small, but why would TT call to any sizing on this flop in a 4 bet pot? You literally are drawing to 2 outs at best (often stone dead to perfect perfect) pretty much 100% of the time. What 4 bet hand, even the bluffs, is behind TT here?
for the same reason he called flop C-bet with a second pair on 4-bet pot, with an A on. Know your opponent, know your hands.
@@pot_kivach160 uh, what? JT is an absurdly different hand from TT. When behind, you can have upwards of 7 outs to improve, not just 2. And it's still a pretty terrible call.
@@Jermo484 JT chances to improve are LESS THAN pre flop aggressor chances to improve on this kind of board. (you figured it out, I see no need to prove obvious here).
When you add that V is most likely behind, then calling flop C-bet is ridiculous play. TT/JT same crap. It takes runner runner to get out of the hole.
@@pot_kivach160 This reply is beyond confusing. I have no idea if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me.
@@Jermo484 and you're disappointed can't find ground for arguing? lol
Bart can't construct a sentence with Euro that doesn't also contain the word miserable.
Def fold
Bart gets a bit testy with the euros. Who hurt you Bart 🤣 tell us.
Euros calling clock on someone for taking one minute because it's affecting their bb/hour. People in LA dont like them.
@@estranged12I think the comment relates to (0:47) Bart getting all pedantic on the $ / € conversion values with the caller. Seemed a little snarky. Bart's hemorrhoids musta been acting up.
nitregs that ruin games
Euros are terrible for a game. No one likes playing with them. Go experience our high crime rate or something. A lot of people don't like Americans so I don't have to like Euros. They think they no more than we do about our politics, play like a tight mouse at the poker table and are generally NOT WELCOME.
I think the River let’s hero get away from this hand it’s a clear cut fold you beat absolutely no value and I honestly think worse 2 pairs from the villain here check back for showdown value
And if villain let’s say was to launch worse 2 pairs to turn it into a bluff props to him at that point AK is a fold there
I tend to agree. I ran it through GTO+ and as played it's the same line that the hero played. If I were the hero I'd be thinking that I've only risked 250$ of my stack. I'd rather fold then to lose it all on what very likely is a made straight. I get that JT should not be in the villian's range, but Lord, who plays strict GTO ranges other than Linus... and this is live. Even at those stakes I'd say that most people don't play strict GTO ranges.
Ash Jamon Burton about A/K off suited.....HE KNOWS.....lol
Kd is really bad here. Enough for me to fold.
Man I always call here and they always have a ten
And hero could have A10 and he still shoved. fold
I would of folded because he's saying he's got a 10 always
"were a bit deeper so i 4bet to 37 bbs" lol live cash is too funny / soft
The reason they convert dollars and we don't convert other currency is because the dollar is the world's reserve currency. At least for the time being, anyway.
Not really
They change £$¥ to € there.
Foreign exchange is more common here in Europe
Still relevant comment, those are main, stable currencies that allow tourists to come gamble. Not as relevant for the US as the USD is number 1, but much more in Europe with tourists flocking in.
#JustSayNoToEuros
The fact that hero 4-bet preflop should tell villain that hero doesn't any 10-x combos except 10-10 maybe in some cases.
You have more options to exchange money in Europe because it's a normal part of their day to day lives. The Euro is obviously the universal currency for EU nations, but all those countries still use their national currency as well. Going from country to country in Europe is akin to going to a different state in the US. Currency exchanges are super common throughout the continent.
nobody is doing that without a 10
Not in your average 1/3 game. But any thinking player could find a bluff there Even with 2 pair of villian realized hero Never has a 10 here when he 4bets from UTG
Not in ur broke ass 1/3 poor games 😂
Dude says nobody is doing this without a 10 😂😂😂. It’s called a bluff. Maybe not in a small game but any decent player in a 5/10 game can make that bluff
Idk. I’m a bluffing man. Being in position here begs for a bluff jam.
Haven’t finished the video. But this caller’s comment about villain not having a lot of bluffs is wrong.
He could have AJs, A9s, A5s, A4s, 98dd 87dd 76dd, KQdd, KJs, QJs, or even 99
Hero blocks KQdd but some of the others may make sense.
You're betting off just folding these spots unless you have a nitty rep or your opponent is bluffy. Ignore comments about this extensive palaces in the UK or how he usually plays much higher, which could all be bs, UNLESS the fold/call button is literally 50/50.
Merit Casinos are an experience. I played at the one in Montenegro last year and I took up smoking to fit in with the rest of the table. It’s like a time machine playing poker and everyone is smoking at the table.
You took up smoking to fit in with the table, as someone already old enough to enter a casino? No offence but that’s lame asf.
To be precise: I used to smoke. So I came out of the retirement for the duration of my stay there. Totally worth it. +EV
@The20thHijacker how do you pick it back up and quit right after? If I pick it up I'm stuck back on it for a while
I understand what you mean. I’ve just never had a problem getting off substances. I assure you it’s nothing special I’m doing, it’s just essy for some people. I have other bad habits I can’t kick, but not smokes…
Actually now that I think about it. I do taper off gradually. For those couple of weeks I was smoking I was probably doing a pack a day. Then when I was getting off I would do like 6 cigarettes one day, 4 the next, then maybe 2, 1, and finally no more. But that was just so I don’t get nicotine withdrawals. If it was that easy for everyone, nobody would be hooked.
