    Do you agree with Bart that the Hero's bet on turn makes very little sense?

    • @Conductor2711
      @Conductor2711 Год назад +1

      I think it depends how heavily we discount JTo, and J9h, based on the check on the flop (I take caller at his word that this villain raises KQo 100% here, I certainly would). Hero was only player left to act, so UTG +1 seems to be taking a big risk of a free card with a lot of people left to act with hands that should want protection that many ways.
      If JTo and J9hh never check that flop then... I agree caller can bet for value and did so correctly.

    • @Conductor2711
      @Conductor2711 Год назад

      Oh, and we have to discount weak aces too, but... Again, the check-raise multiway with a weak ace on flop is a line that doesn't make very much sense.

    Even playing 2/5, I'd expect to be up against AJo, ATo and especially JT a bunch here. If he's good enough to realise I probably can't have KQ and definitely don't have a set, he can easily rip it in here on the turn.

    • @Conductor2711
      @Conductor2711 Год назад +1

      At 2/5, you think AJo and ATo would limp with two limpers and a straddle behind, then check the flop 4-way with only the BTN straddle who could have any two cards left to act and is probably checking, even with 2 hearts out and any K or any Q having a straight draw? That seems... Not good. JTo would make sense as a limp pre, but still a dicey check on the flop in my mind.

      There was $300 in the pot on the turn, and $600 left behind. If hero checked back turn, V probably isn't going to jam river on a brick. What is V's flop x/r supposed to be repping, when he basically limped in pre, and then checked flop? It seems like his strongest value hand might be something like Jh9h. Hero could have some JTo and weak aces in his range. V's flop x/r looks like a weak hand for value or a draw that bricked out. What would V expect hero to fold on the river after hero puts in the 3B on the flop? Is hero supposed to fold Ax or JT, when V's strongest hand is a worse 1P?

      @@1vailchris you make a good point. I’m just saying that if Villain is going to c/r all in on turn with pretty much no fold equity, he’s likely to lead river as well.

      ​@@ChiTownIsaac55 It seems extremely unlikely V is going to x/r flop, check turn, and then, if the turn goes check-check, he's going to jam for 2x pot on a total brick with a busted 9-high flush draw. If he's going to bluff-jam river, he wouldn't want two hearts in his hand.
      His turn x/r-jam with 9h8h actually isn't all that terrible, if he's putting hero on a hand like JTo with no heart, which hero could play this way. V's going to make his hand about 1/3 of the time. When V checks and hero bets 2/3 pot, all V can do is fold or shove. I'd like it better if he just donk-jammed, for max fold equity, but once hero bets 2/3 pot, jamming with his specific hand is better than folding.
      Hero's 3B on the flop is repping JTo, some KJo combo with the Kh, and some draws that were un-paired. Hero probably isn't checking back turn with JT, and V doesn't know hero made a pair with the 6 on the turn, so if the turn goes check-check, hero's range on the river is capped at KJo or king-high.
      V's x/r on the flop is repping some weak Ax combos, and some JhXh combos like Jh9h. if the turn goes check-check, V wouldn't bet river with any worse Jx for value on the river, because he isn't beating hero's KJ combos. If V has some weak ace, he might check turn, but he's probably not going to jam 2x pot on the river, unless he's trying to make it look like he's bluffing, hoping to get called by KJ or K-high. A weak ace would be more likely to take block-bet sizing, and hope to get value from KJ.
      If V wants to bluff the river with 9h8h, he might just want to take block-bet sizing, to make it look like he could have some weak ace. If he bets $120 into $300 on the river, hero's not going to love calling with KJ or King-high, knowing he's losing to any ace, and that V probably isn't betting a worse Jx.

    This hand is a great example of one of many reasons not to play limps. That mostly matters when you get raised behind but regardless you can never rep this board. Check-raise shouldn’t happen. Now it’s weird when button is also capped for the same reasons so 3bet should also not happen. Overly aggressive from both players and a good example of what happens when you play too aggressive with a capped range against someone who can notice that. Both players deserve to lose this hand.

    This is also a prime example of why you almost never 3bet the flop, only hands with significant equity can call. Your opponent can have just too many made hands that were trapping, none of which you beat. Unless of course you flopped a set and there were three people going to war on this type of texture, then you're just giving them an attractive price to get stacks in with their draws or coolers.

      @@Conductor2711 I think this is a bad line with every hand for both hero and V.
      The only value hand I can give V that MIGHT get played this way and be sort of "correct" is Ac6c - top pair with a backdoor flush draw on the flop that improves to a likely-best 2P on the turn. Any top pair is probably the best hand on this flop. Hero can't rep anything stronger than JTo, and hero might just be stabbing at it with air, some sort of draw, or some Jx or Tx combo. If V's flop x/r gets called by a better Ax, he can hit his kicker or pick up a club draw on the turn. V should probably fold to hero's 3B, because it's really just repping JTo, but if his x/r bluffs that continue are all combo-draws, he can rep a flush on any heart or a straight with a non-heart K/Q/9/8/7 on the turn, giving him 26 bluff outs. There's no reason why V would put hero on KhXh, the way this was played, so it would be reasonable for him to think he could rep a flush or straight if one of his bluff outs hits.

      @1vailchris Год назад

      @@Conductor2711 I'm fine with playing JT this way, depending on our opponents' tendencies. But I think we can make a case for raising pre with JT when it checks to hero on the BTN. After it basically limps around pre, and when V in UTG+1 x/r's the flop, I can also see just flatting on the flop, rather than 3B'ing.
      SB already folded, and it's unlikely UTG is going to double-flat the x/r with any hand that's going to fold to hero's 3B. If UTG happened to limp in with KQ, AT or TT, or he has a good combo-draw or pair+draw sort of hand, he's not folding, and may just want to get stacks in on the flop, either after seeing UTG1 x/r and hero call, or especially when he sees UTG1 x/r and hero 3B. There's no reason for him to keep slow-playing straights, sets, 2P or a monster combo draw facing that sort of action from two opponents. If UTG doesn't have a hand that wants to get stacks in on the flop, he's probably not calling the x/r behind us.
      Other than KQ, AT and TT, JTo has all our opponent's value combos crushed on the flop, but we're not that far ahead of their good draws. V's actual hand of 9h8h is basically a coin-flip vs. JTo, and KhJh and QhJh are both a 60% favorite. So I might want to just flat with JTo, let UTG stay in the hand with his entire range, and look to bomb the turn if it checks to us on a brick.

    Neither opponents' line makes much sense here. It's hard for hero to have better than JTo on flop. V really can't rep anything strong enough to x/r and expect anything better to fold. V's best value hand on the flop might be Jh9h or some weak Ace. If V turned over Ac6c, that wouldn't have been too shocking.

      @timditmer9549 Год назад +3

      Based on the way he played the hand, villain is likely incompetent, however, I would argue it's not because he limped.
      A. He over-limped, not necessarily bad.
      B. Limping is mostly bad in high rake environments, the fact that it caps your range, and that it's easily punished by big iso raises. If your opponents are too weak to use larger iso raises against limpers, and they are too incompetent to identify your limping range (and punish you on boards where you are capped,) it's not necessarily bad to limp something like a small pocket pair, and encourage more players to enter the pot so you can set mine. Against a table with at least a few good players though you basically should only ever overlimp and never open limp.
      A 1-1 home game likely doesn't have good players though. I would probably open limp from early position with my small pairs, perhaps weaker suited aces and maybe suited connectors in this environment, and almost never get punished for it.
