Back for part number 4.
Jumping right back into it.
Not much to say.
We're playing mid stakes.
I will decide to check-raise with J-7.
I will try to check-raise the river, too.
Get value.
We see he doesn't really bluff at all.
This makes me feel even better
about how I played my A-9
against this type of player
If he's not bluffing that hand
on the river...
A-7 suited is a fold.
J-5 offsuit, too.
A-6 offsuit vs. a 4.2x raise
is a pretty easy fold.
And I will go all-in with K-Q offsuit.
The big blind is supposed to call
with a very wide range.
All of his suited Kings.
Surely lots of suited Queens, too.
My bounty is worth
about as much as my stack,
so that gives him very good odds.
Well, A-Q, obviously...
It's a re-entry tournament.
It's all good.
A little slow period.
Just to recap the tables...
Do I have to say anything?
We're still
on the bubble of the Prime Time.
We're slowing approaching
the bubble of the €50 Trilogy,
keeping in mind
that the levels are very long.
This means you have to be patient.
The bubble
won't just happen right away.
Plus, I think
the average stack is pretty high.
I think it's 48 blinds, right?
48 blinds, so...
This means that with 35 blinds,
Iím close to last place.
Itís not much of a factor to consider
because everyone is deep.
Q-9 offsuit,
I will raise the button if it folds to me.
8-4 offsuit, fold.
The bubble is over.
Very good.
We're in the money
with 12.5 blinds and a dream, of course.
8-4 suited is a hand
I can raise blind vs. blind.
Okay, 9-5 vs. J-4.
10-7 suited, on the other hand,
will play very well.
Facing a 4x raise,
so I'm okay with calling.
When I hit two pair or a straight,
I think I will almost always
get max value
against this player.
Of course, I defend 8-7,
and I think I will check-fold...
Yes.
I think I will check-fold.
If one of these two players raises,
I will go all-in with K-J suited.
If the button jams,
I'm calling, for sure.
Q-7, standard.
Well played on his part... and he won.
8-4, I have a gutshot
and a backdoor flush draw,
if I'm seeing this right.
I will limp-shove with 8-8 here.
I think I just want to bet a 10
or better on this board.
I will just check-call.
A-9 suited; I will raise.
I think I can get value
with my 8-8 from 4's, 6's and 2's.
Personally,
I think I would have bluffs.
J-9 suited
with a backdoor flush draw or K-5.
I will fold here.
Pot-pot, my odds aren't so hot.
That rhymes.
What a beautiful poem.
I fold K-J offsuit, top left.
I could have also 3-bet
instead of flatting,
but once again,
I want to play pots with the small blind.
Henri Henri.
K-6 offsuit,
I will raise if it folds to me...
which is not the case.
I will check K-2 offsuit.
7-6 suited,
I will raise if it folds to me.
And I think I will flat
with 35 blinds facing a min-raise.
I think F1kus is supposed
to check this board very often.
And I will bet.
It will be auto-profitable
to bet to fold out hands like 9-8
I will pause it here.
I will explain my reasoning on the turn.
I will get the open raiser
to fold lots of hands
like K-Q offsuit, K-J offsuit,
even K-J of spades, for example.
The big blind
will fold so many combos as well.
He is sandwiched between two players,
so he will fold his 2-xís.
Normally, he will fold lots of 8-x's
with no redraw equity.
Once we make it to the turn,
Iím obviously double barreling.
That won't necessarily be the case,
for example, hands like
K-10 of clubs or K-10 of hearts.
Why?
Because I don't mind getting jammed on
when I have 7-6 of diamonds
and losing my equity
because the hands
that will go all-in against me
will mostly be hands
like J-7 of clubs or J-10 of clubs.
Combo draws that dominate me.
Plus, my hand does serve
as a good hand
to triple barrel on blanks
because it doesn't block 8-x's of hearts.
It won't block 2-x's of clubs.
It won't block 9-x's of clubs.
It's a very good hand for me to bet
and then bet again on the river.
I would also have A-8,
A-9 suited, 8-8 in my range.
I could have pocket 9's.
Pocket 2's, too.
I have hands like A-10, A-J of hearts
that will continue to bet, of course.
A-Q of hearts too.
Very often.
I will have A-Q's, A-J's,
so I do have a very strong range
which will be able
to fold out 8's and 2's directly.
I don't expect
to fold out an Ace, obviously,
but if I can just get 8's
and 2's to fold, itís a very nice play.
So, just bet around 2/3 pot.
The only draw I dominate,
if he goes all-in, is 5-4 of hearts.
But I still wouldn't be in great shape.
He folded which is what I wanted.
I will 3-bet this hand.
Why? I think it is a good hand...
Maybe a little weak.
Normally,
I would do this with J-10 suited.
Yeah.
That seems right.
I opt for a delayed bluff.
I should have
many natural checks with good hands.
Like A-A, K-K, A-K, etc.
I don't think
9-8 offsuit is good enough.
Obviously, Q-8 suited
is not a good hand to call my squeeze.
I will iso with A-10 for value, top left.
I will just go all-in for 30 blinds
with my A-10 offsuit.
I could flat K-K, I could 3-bet it.
I don't remember very well,
but the big blind...
I don't have my HUD
because my tracker is off,
but I think the big blind
seems a bit wild,
so I wouldn't mind him
going all-in with 4-4, for example.
That's why I flatted.
This seems like a good spot to trap.
Of course, I'm calling with K-K.
I will check-raise J-9 for value.
He's supposed
to c-bet his whole range here,
so I still need a lot of protection.
My hand is strong enough
to value raise.
I will check here.
The turn is not very good.
He has lots of Q-10's, Q-J's,
A-Q's, K-Q's, backdoor flush draws.
I'm not so happy about that.
Once we've gotten to this point,
I think it's a pretty easy value bet.
I will pause it.
I have no reason to bet A-K, top right,
so I will check and show it down.
I will just defend 7-6 suited,
and I will just shove J-J over here.
He can 3-bet-call 8-8.
I don't want to see a Q-9-2 board
and not be able to do anything.
Considering he covers me for a KO,
he should 3-bet-call pretty wide.
He can 3-bet-call A-J
or maybe A-10 suited,
so I want to get money
in the middle right away.
I think I will be able to get value
from hands like A-8, K-8, J-8, 10-8.
I can also get value
from 9-5 suited, 9-6 suited, 10-9 suited.
I don't think
he will bluff the river very often.
I remember checking
because I thought
I would let him bluff
all of his K-10's and K-J's.
In general, there aren't many people
who won't bluff enough,
who will go to showdown
thinking they have showdown value
which is wrong on a 7 river.
They will never win it.
I think we will get value
from 8-x's, 9-x's and potentially 7-x's.
Actually,
this looks closer than I thought.
Maybe I should only value bet...
K-9, for sure.
A-9.
And maybe check-call this...
Maybe check-call this.
That's interesting.
That's interesting...
I will look to see
if I have this hand loaded on PioSolver,
and I will return to you if I find it.
I will pause the video for a few seconds.
I'm back.
I found a pretty similar board.
I will take a look.
I just looked at the river spot.
I won't look at everything.
From a theoretical perspective,
my line is the one
taken about 100% of the time
up to the river
where we have something like this.
I'll explain quickly:
Bet 60, so that's a 1/4 pot bet.
These are quarter pots.
There are three river sizings we will use.
My hand will want
to use a total block bet sizing.
Meaning 20-25% pot.
My opponent should defend this range:
Call practically all his 8-x's,
except the K-8's.
I guess
because I will bluff lots of Kings.
Here, K-10
which will be most of my bluffs.
A few Kings we see here.
K-6 here too and K-2.
He should call A-3's, for example.
He should call 10-9's and 10-8's.
J-8's and J-9 offsuits.
All of that.
This is usually why
I will have lots of value.
In reality, will villain's range
be constructed like this?
I don't know.
But it seemed like
either checking or betting smaller
than 1/3 pot would be good,
so just what PioSolver recommended,
20-25%, to annoy him
when he has underpairs,
2-x's, 8-x's, etc.
On we go.
All of my decisions are clear now.
I will call here with J-9, of course.
I don't think he needs to turn
this hand into a bluff at all.
He wins with his 2 from time to time.
I could check-raise 2's
with a backdoor flush draw on the flop.
That's an option.
I will check with 6-5 suited.
Fold out lots of A-x right away,
lots of pairs under 10.
I have backdoor straight draws
in both directions, backdoor flush draws.
I like check-raising this hand.
Now that the flush came in,
I don't need to put
more money in the middle.
I could be drawing completely dead.
So I will check.
I won't bluff.
The 9 is not good.
It gives him lots of pairs.
Straights with K-J.
I prefer bluffing with a diamond at the most.
More than with that hand.
I'm done with the 10-9
in the Rush Hour.
K-Q offsuit, I will call.
I don't think
itís good enough to 3-bet-call.
I have a pretty easy stab with 9-5
for value/protection on the turn.
I expect him
to bet his 8's on the flop a lot.
And he folds.
6-5 offsuit, call.
I'm done with K-Q offsuit too.
I could potentially check-raise 6-5
if I had a diamond.
I will call if he bets 1/3 pot.
I think I would have better hands
to bet than this one.
It really has very little equity
against an 8, for example.
I prefer betting gutshots
with an overcard.
Particularly,
if the overcard is a club or diamond.
I will fold to the delayed c-bet.
I have a backdoor flush draw
on this board with 6-5,
and mainly because my opponent
has tons of hands, he will snap fold.
All of the underpairs.
I will pause it.
All of the underpairs.
He also has suited Kings
that will fold to a double barrel.
And I have all the big hands.
I have all the A-Q's, A-J's.
He shouldn't have any.
I have all the K-10's.
He would have normally
3-bet some of those.
Thus, I have a huge range advantage
on this board.
Which will make me bet pretty often.
I worked very little versus SB.
This is what my experience
and intuition are telling me.
Now on the turn,
this is the perfect turn for me
to bluff because it blocks A-6.
I will be able
to fold out hands like Q-x maybe.
Q-8, Q-7 suited, Q-9 suited.
Same goes for J-x's.
I can also fold out hands
that could have bluff the river
or have equity against me.
Specifically, 10-9, 10-8.
K-x's with a backdoor flush draw.
And I block
his most frequent call down hands.
On the turn at least.
This seems like
a good candidate for a bluff.
Way better than K-x, for example,
which would block
all of the small blind's folds.
10-9 would be a very good bluff.
10-8 too.
But this hand
will be a very good candidate
to triple barrel bluff
precisely because we block A-6.
Maybe the best hand
would be 10-6 or K-6.
But K-6 is surely good enough
to check the turn.
I have a pot sized bet
behind on the river.
He has 4 combos of A-6, A-5.
He has...
Well, it depends.
Let's say he doesn't have
16 combos of K-10.
Let's say he has 8 of them.
Maybe 10.
14 combos of the nuts.
And then 3 combos each
of A-2, A-3, A-4.
That comes out to 9 combos.
A-7, A-8, A-9, too,
that he will often have.
A-9 offsuit
which he will almost always have, too.
That does potentially make up
all his of bluff catching combos.
Keeping in mind that
when I jam the size of the pot,
he will have relatively good odds
with my bounty.
I was torn
between checking and betting here.
Iím betting he would shove
all of his K-10 suiteds according to GTO,
and he would 3-bet
half of his K-10 offsuits,
so he ultimately doesn't have a lot left.
I also bet he would 3-bet A-6's
or A-5's from time to time.
So when I count it out,
he really doesn't have
that many value combos,
and he has
lots of bluff catching combos.
And I have
lots of bluffing combos in my range.
Like I said, things like 10-6.
I could have other 6-x's.
I could have 10-9, for example.
I could have 9-8.
All of these hands
could be potential bluffs.
I decided to shove.
I have no idea if this is good or not,
but it seems close/correct.
It really depends on how
he defends his range on the river.
Itís very bad if he overfolds.
It seems good if he calls correctly.
It seems very good
if he calls more than whatís correct.
Sometimes
you have to deal with unknowns.
The only thing that could make me check
a little more often
is the approaching bubble.
But once again,
Iím close to last place with 35 blinds,
so it's not a huge consideration.
That's why you see me tanking a lot.
I was thinking about it.
This is a river I will shove a lot
because I will get a lot of snap folds
from hands like
J-10 offsuit, Q-10 offsuit, etc.
I will c-bet a blind with A-10.
I will call A-J vs. a delayed c-bet.
I will value bet A-10, bottom left.
I will RFI with 10-10, bottom right.
K-10 suited, in the Money Time, too.
J-9, I think it is a good hand
to double barrel.
J-9 of diamonds, specifically.
Why?
I will pause the video again.
Because I don't block
any of his snap folds,
that are all backdoor flush draw combos
he could have on the flop.
10-9 of hearts,
J-10 of hearts, K-J of hearts, etc.
I also have two overs to an 8.
Against all of these pairs,
7-7, 6-6, 5-5...
He won't fold 5-5...
That's why this seems like a good bluff
which will generate lots of money.
Incidentally, I block his best A-x's too.
I will bet tiny with 10-10.
Actually, I will check.
I think both are viable.
I think this is more of a check
than bet in GTO.
But we are trying to play exploitatively.
K-10, I think this is a call.
Letís take a look...
So what happened?
Yes.
Open. Call.
The big blind jams and we're
at the beginning of the tournament.
His stack is worth a lot.
That means his bounty
is worth 5,500 chips, which is 9 blinds.
So, we add 9 blinds to the pot.
That makes 32.
I need about 30% equity.
I never expect
the small blind to be trapping.
This seems like...
an obvious all-in with my K-10.
I got lucky.
Obviously calling with 10-10.
I don't see any reason to raise.
I can get value from pairs under 10
like 9-x's with a 30% pot bet.
There, a 2, for example.
I will call the turn with A-K
and decide to play passively.
Of course, A-J is a raise-call,
and I win the bounty.
I'm folding here.
His bet screams value.
Q-J suited.
Okay.
I think I will check again.
Oh... I bet?
Okay, I bet.
I wonder if I shouldn't check again
with 10-10 here.
If it induces lots of bluffs
on river from pagachorari,
then it would definitely be better.
I like my jam on the river.
I remember going all-in.
Oh, I bet pot.
Well, at least I bet pot.
I don't ever expect him
to fold an Ace.
Okay.
That seems right.
Q-J, no.
This is going fast!
8-5, call.
This isn't the type of hand I want
to raise facing a large sizing like this.
I think my flush draw
is too small to continue to call.
I think I'm behind very often,
so I will fold my 5-5.
Indeed, I was behind pretty often.
A-10, what will happen?
I think I considered folding 8-3.
This is a little bold.
I will use it to double delay bluff.
Yeah, I will use it to double delay bluff.
Just bluff the river.
I will bet around the size of the pot
to try to put pressure on 2's and 5's.
I will raise A-10 and call if I get 3-bet.
I will raise K-K, of course.
Much like 9-7 suited on the button.
I think I can use a big sizing here.
Half or 2/3 pot.
Pretty dynamic board.
Once again, I think I can bet
around 2/3 pot on the turn.
If I go all-in, I will fold out hands
like a pair with a gutshot, etc.
9-x's too.
Whereas, if I make it 2/3 pot
or between half and 2/3 pot,
he will have to defend 9's
because I have a lot of perceived bluffs.
Some bluffs,
that have little to no equity,
that want to fold out
5-x's, 7-x's, K-10's, for example,
or K-J's, J-10's
in my opponentís range.
Thatís why I think this sizing
is better than going all-in
or betting I donít know what sizing,
1/3 pot or whatever.
I will just call with 9-7 suited
against this donk bet.
I'm obviously calling the all-in.
13%.
I obviously don't think
that was good jam from him.
He is dominated by all of my bluffs.
My A-x's of diamonds,
my K-x's of diamonds.
He's in trouble in terms of equity.
K-10, raise.
I will fold 9-7 suited.
I didn't hit my draw.
The 8-2 hand will depend on his sizing.
I will call 2 BB.
I would not call anything bigger.
K-10, fold, bottom right.
Up top, I will bet
around 1/3-1/4 pot 3-way.
Something like that.
1/3 pot.
A-7 suited, I will call
anyone's 3-bet if I get 3-bet.
If the small blind jams,
I have to call because of the bounty.
We're at the beginning
of the tournament.
Q-J, I will raise this too.
We'll watch this hand with K-10,
and I think I'll call it a day
because we're getting close
to the 30-minute mark.
This went fast.
I won't fold against this 2x 3-bet,
even if my hand is really ugly.
I think I still have a pretty obvious
value bet with K-10 on the turn.
The big blind
will have lots of suited Kings.
He has 4-x's of diamonds,
5-x's of diamonds.
The small blind also
has lots of K-x suiteds. He has 9-x's.
I don't want to let
these hands realize their equity
and I think
betting 2/3 pot seems optimal.
It should be more than that.
Around 9.5-10 blinds.
And I will check the river.
My hand would not have
any more value
because they have K-J's and K-Q's
in their ranges too.
And now, potentially, K-5's and K-6's.
So I don't think I have any value.
I check.
I think that...
Weíll end it here.
...that's too much for 100 blinds.
100 blinds come out to 70,000.
I'd like to maintain my stack
at these stakes.
Avoid taking lots of unnecessary risks.
This is basically chip EV.
Between us,
considering we have 70,000,
and his bounty is worth 10-11,000.
It's clearly not worth it to call.
Let's just watch the showdown.
Okay.
I will end this 4th part here.
See you soon for part number 5.
I'm keeping you in suspense.
