Great content, but I'd love to see the same subject addressed for live games, 100-150 BBs deep, and then again for deep stack live games: 300+BBs deep. In Austin we often play a match-the-stack $1/$2 game where it is common that several of us will have $2000 in front of us. Admittedly, this is really a $1/$2/$5 game most of the time, with occasionally more straddles, but that still makes it a 400 BB game. My own adjustments for 300+ BB game is that I no longer choose between calling and raising preflop based on the strength of my hand. Obviously, the strength determines whether or not I play at all, but once I've decided whether or not to play, I will raise vs. call my whole range based purely on position and squeezing. Is this crazy? I have found myself 3-bet-folding on occasion, which is pretty painful. OTOH, I have 4-bet with 87s and hit a flop of 965 and absolutely crushed the two pair who was sure I could have an overpair at best.

Contradictory advice about what hits the big blinds range on a 9 8 4 flop or any low flop. According to Matt Affkeck the BB is so wide that he has tonnes of air and we should bet big but bet less often
The wider the range of the UTG player, the more i am inclined to fold the suited connectors. I can make a really strong hand with suited connnectors, but i won't get paid if villain hits 3rd pair, while i will get called when he has an overpair.
@@zihokim1751 There are so many factors. If we speak of this exact situation, playing a tournament and not knowing your opponent, since it's a big tournament with many unknown players, it's probably better to call against a wider range. If i play a long cash game session and have a lot of reads on my opponents, know how they play their strong hands on the flop, turn and river my approach can vary.
Checking multiway when you completely whiff? Pretty good idea, remember the pot will bloated and your cbet would be pretty large. If the flo p has an A or K or AK then you have the range advantage and can bluff, but don't if you have call stations in position to you.
Sitting between 2 players with 89d and QJd is showing on the turn. Button bets $30 other guy calls I fold thinking one of them has better draw then me. Rivers the 10d and my heart sinks as I realize I folded the straight flush. Worst part is dude goes all in and other dude calls. Thoughts? I think $30 was pot sized bet. Other players had Ace high flush and 3 of a kind
QJ suited calls off against a shove on 9s 8h 3d - are we sure about that? Calling off with only a gutshot and two overs with a hopeful backdoor flush draw seems extremely punty.
But also suited connectors are the best way to trap utg raise, there mostly Ak, AQ, Aj s right big cards what if the flop comes all shitty cards, they c bet, u call with your suited connectors, now on turn they check because they know they havent hit, snd you raise big on the turn, mostly they will fold thekr Aks and AQs
I’m a little confused on how in this video we are less aggressive with open ended straight draws, but in the checkraise video we are playing very aggressive even with runner runner straights and flushes.
Because it's all talk you can Crack aces with suited connectors but some one could easily have a higher flush some opens 3x you don't know if he has pocket queens or AK suited. You hit spade flush and jams he calls and shows you nuts. There is no right or wrong way
@@jamez470 Yes, exactly. Don't check raise if you don't have nut advantage. I mean it's all a numbers game. Check raise with open enders 10% of the time, very rarely. Then your image is believable. If it's a dry board (no flush draws) and you get called, then you're probably effed. But sometimes you still have to bluff the river as well. You have to be balanced.
@@jamez470 And obviously there is a difference if you have a straight draw with 2 overcards or 2 undercards. If you hit top pair on the river often enough it wins you the hand.
For those of playing low buy in tables (1/3) I've found suited connectors are fantastic from the LJ and later positions especially, specifically because suited connectors LOVE multiway pots. Don't know about you all, but on my local 1/3 tables, having 3-4 players seeing the flop is the most common scenario, and 5-6 is not all that unusual. It's kind of crazy, but... from the LJ and later, you're likely to be last or 2nd to last to act, and if you hit a draw, you can play it down pretty passively and see amazing pot odds the entire way. If it folds around to you on the flop, bet SMALL (1/4-1/3 pot), and watch as you get multiple callers, then if you hit, go cold, and watch the bluffs come in. If you don't hit, just walk away cheap knowing you can walk away cheap quite a few times for the large pots you'll win when you do hit.
Hey Jonathan! why would we bluff the river with busted draws most of the time when raising the LJ and getting called from the BB? dont we want him to have these draws? its actually bad for us to have busted draws and bluff. cause its more likely that he has a made hand. am i missing something?

What is YOUR favorite suited connector? 😃
AK :D
I have too many 7/8, 8/9, J/10 😅
54s
JTs
J9 j8 q9 q10 these hands if you're careful will make a lot of deceptive straights and two pair combos and they're easy to fold

Game plays itself, huh? Grrr
Went broke a few times on Rule #7 because the villain had AA
Over playing my BB simply cause I got the a draw on the flop and the SB called into me was one of my biggest leaks
I love your videos. Especially when I am commuting .
Still on a break 8n Canberra, studying when I can. Thanks.🇳🇿♠️
Great video as usual. Just so grateful for these free lessons, you deserve all the success to come!
Enjoyed, as I still remember 4bet allin with 87ss ;-) from the recent tournament. Too bad it was against QQ 😂

For #2, what if LJ bets much larger than 1.7bbs. Which of those calling hands should I fold out first?
LJ positions almost never open raise. Do I just call their limp if in later positions or put in the 3bet?

i think this is true, but is not as important in terms of ev since suited connectors will perform even better against their wider range.

Jonathan am I just checking the flop 100% of the time as the pre flop raiser if I totally miss the flop and it’s multi way ???

I have heard of other people who play draws on the flop too passively.
Flopping trips against a nit or anyone really…example 45 vs a5 board 5 5 10 this is a big one!

Betting 1.7 and 2.9 BB is often impossible,, given the chips in play
