    Here are my top 3 live tells(90-95% reliability):
    #1 From the Gman himself(Garrett). About 10-12 years ago he put up a series of 2-3 powerpoint videos on youtube about live tells. He took them down after 2 months and was never able to find them again. One of his tell was: if someone acting before you take a long time to check, it is usually a sign he doesn't want to see a big bet from you and will mostly fold to it(like a second pair or a draw).
    #2 Got it from an old Negranu interview. after someone make a big polarizing bet if you ask them how much they have behind. If they overeact and raise their arm super quick(in a jerk reaction) to show you their chips they are usually bluffing. If they are calmly showing you so you can count it is usually a true bet.
    #3 Commonly known but still alot of people don't know about this one. If someone bet big and are looking everywhere other than the table/action(they are looking at the TV, the celling, the waitress) they have the nuts/big big hand.

    Probably the most I’ve ever disagreed with hand analysis before.
    1) i don’t understand why hero can’t have 78
    2) hero doesn’t think a flush can overbet because of full houses but I think this is the perfect card to overbet on to get easy value from trips, low flushes, straights, and even hero calls.
    3) villain showed so much strength betting 2/3,2/3, overbet. Unless you know that this guy overbets a lot I would expect this is value so so often. I wouldn’t have expected 69 but I would have guessed nutted flushes mainly and the occasional 66, 55, 99.

      I feel like it's assumed a bad play pre since open UTG should be strong. It's lower stakes tho. So many coaches seem to apply GTO rules and expectations where there's much more variance in low stakes. Thinking players love to call out "bad play", but we enjoy the bad play most times, except when it hits.

    Bart you gotta get in TOUCH with live poker man. 78ss alllll day from sb is calling a preflop raise

  • @1vailchris
    @1vailchris Год назад +9

    Gotta play a raise-or-fold strategy pre-flop from the SB when you're playing these stakes against even semi-competent opponents. What hands is hero beating on the river? He's losing to all of V's over-pairs, all V's flopped or turned sets, all V's 9x, all flush draws, 87, and 43. He's basically just bluff-catching in a spot where he's losing to all of V's value-hands, and only beating maybe 12 semi-logical bluffs - AK/AQ with one club. Even if we don't give him any 96 combos, he still has about 60 hands that might take this line for value, and have TT crushed.
    Maybe V shouldn't have 96 opening UTG+1, but most V's are going to have enough value in their range to barrel on this river, and not necessarily worry about hero having many stronger hands, when hero didn't 3B pre. Hero doesn't have that many really strong hands here, either, as played. Unless hero's seen V turn middling pairs like 77/88 into bluffs, I think this is just a fold on the river.

    • @1vailchris
      @1vailchris Год назад +6

      V has - AA/KK/QQ/JJ (24 overpair combos), AKcc/AQcc/AJcc/A5cc/KQcc/QJcc/JTcc/87cc/54cc/43cc (10 flush combos), 99/66/22/55 (10 boats/quads), 87s/43s (6 straights), A9s/K9s/Q9s/J9s/T9s/98s (12 combos of trips). That's 62 combos for value. His bluffs are AK/AQ with one club (12 combos), and maybe 88/77 (another 12). So he's got 2.5-2.6 value hands for every 1 bluff. Even if we give V some AJo/ATo combos with the Ac, it's still only another 3-5 combos for bluffs. Assuming he bluffs with all of them, it's 25-30 bluff candidates, at the absolute most, with more than twice as many value hands.
      Hero has - JJ/TT (12 overpairs), QJcc/JTcc/54cc (three flushes, none of them the nut flush), and half as many combos of trips (6), since V has a 9 in his hand. TT is the absolute worst hand he has in his range for value, so...yeah, call, because you're getting 2-to-1.
      Or just fold. Yeah. Do that. Fold.

    • @1vailchris
      @1vailchris Год назад

      @@JohnSmith-nx7zj I think you missed my point. First, V's over-bet is really just a pot-sized bet. It's over by $25, which is negligible. What hands can V have that hero beats here? As played, why would V be afraid of betting (or even over-betting) the pot with an over-pair when the 9c comes on the river, and hero checks again, knowing V can just check back? Hero's most likely 9x holding would have the 9 of clubs in it. Hero shouldn't be calling a >70% pot bet on turn with just a flush draw. Hero shouldn't have any sets or 2P here. Even if we take over-pairs out of V's range, V can still have a flush, a straight, trips, and a boat. V still has about 40 hands that crush hero's TT, and TT is the absolute worst value hand in hero's range. V has maybe 12-15 logical bluffs, and perhaps an equal number of less intuitive bluffs. This hand is just a pure fold on this river card.

      @JohnSmith-nx7zj Год назад

      @@1vailchris you can make the case that players should bet AA on this river in V’s spot but I don’t think many do. JJ seems very thin. Sure you can get value from TT exactly (but a lot of players will fold that as evidenced by these comments) but that’s literally it.
      So I guess I’d discount overpairs myself. However I do agree with you that it’s a fold because I think you’re giving V more bluffs than I would.

    • @1vailchris
      @1vailchris Год назад

      @@JohnSmith-nx7zj My main point isn't that V should or would be betting over-pairs here. My main point is that hero literally can't beat any of V's value range - which might conceivably include over-pairs - and that V has a TON of thick value here (especially if his range includes over-pairs). Even if V isn't barrelling this river with his over-pairs (which I don't think we can safely assume, given that V opened UTG1 with 96), or even if we say V shouldn't be betting his over-pairs, V still has about 40 value hands that have TT crushed, and very few bluffs. I just don't see how we can call with TT in hero's spot, when V takes this line, and when TT is the absolute worst hand in hero's range.

    I disagree that 87 suited is, or should be, out of the range of the SB there. 87s plays well in a 4-way or 5-way pot, and at least for me has always been profitable even with some flat/folding and double-flatting OOP. It helps if the table is loose passive to give better hope of nobody squeezing, so maybe your 4th hand at a table of unknowns isn't the ideal time to do that. But I wouldn't rule it out for myself, much less for an unknown hero who just arrived, from the perspective of a UTG opener who raises first to act with 3 potential squeezers on his right. Personally I prefer 65s and 76s, but 87s is not out of the question.

    This mostly seems unlucky to me. I don't really think hero made any clear cut mistakes. Yes, he could 3 bet pre, but I don't hate his flat. That said, I don't love bluff catching with hands that beat nothing. Now you could say he beats AK, but villain has to be a bit creative/aggressive for this to be AK & he really should have a club. The other thing this hand demonstrated is that it's dangerous to remove hands from ranges. It's not like I think many people are opening 96 from UTG, but more that if that is ever there then 87s is easily there also [for both players]. At any rate, I really prefer at least 1 hand my opponent might be over-valuing for bluff catching. Here we don't beat a 9, a set, a straight, a flush, an over-pair. We only beat air.

      Agreed. But imagine if he did 3B pre, and V did call. I mean, if V is opening 96s UTG+1, which is insane, he might be insane enough to call a 3B with position on the SB. He's never folding after the flop, on this runout. Only thing hero could do would be to c-bet flop, then check-fold turn or river. Even then - if he 3B's pre and V flats, it'd be hard to put V on a bigger pair than TT. Maybe JJ/QQ. Have to put V on some draw that got there on the turn or river if hero can find the fold somehow.

    Bluff catching someone's shove on a flushy paired river board is like grabbing an exposed wire with bare hands just to see whether is dead or live?! If wire is dead, then I got free wires, if it is alive, then...

    … click bait title. You forgot to mention the most obvious tell. That is when your opponent over bets on a paired board they have a boat, and its not a small one. 10/j clubs should be considering folding, although I don’t think most ppl are good enough to make it.

    Not 3-betting TT here is criminal. Hero just let a guy see a flop with 96s from utg and played as passively as possible lol

      @@ticenits1926 I'd be saying the same if the guy showed aces. TT should be 3B from the SB pre-flop, facing a single raise from UTG+1. AA is going to 4B pre. So hero 3B's, V 4B's, and hero can call or fold depending on V's 4B sizing. Say he calls. He checks flop, V c-bets. Hero calls. Hero checks turn, V should check back. River should go check-check. No one is shocked when V has AA, and no one faults hero for how he played TT pre-flop.

    Another dumb anylsis. If he had quads he would bet smaller?! But the caller made the call super light w 10’s. Why should he bet smaller if he got a call? If anything he should bet bigger. Straights flushes and boats aren’t folding. 10s should probably fold to any bet size and qq and better probably always 3bet pre. The callers most likely range has to call or should fold to any bet. Not much in between.
    If you want to play better poker id do the opposite of what this guy suggests. 10s is a snap fold, probably should consider folding the turn. Unless you have a live read hes bluffing. I was expecting to see quads or pocket six but its the same difference. He made a good bet. The take away from this video is to overbet the nuts on the river. These once a week amatures don’t know how to fold in obvious spots they are supposed to fold. Overbet nuts= win big. Call 10s on that river = you’re a call station donkey.
