Not re-raising large enough according to this video. Granted, I typically don't play as deep as 100 bbs, but the raising and check-raising sizing surprised me a little. I'd probably have raised about 3x rather than 4x in most of these spots.
20:43 I don't agree to the size of the raise here. 50 Is a really small raise size that makes me pot committed and gives draws the odds to call . Given the size of the pot and the stack (only 182 left) I think I should push all-in here. If you disagree can you answer please?
Thanks Jonathan, your coaching is great. I've been watching this only for a few weeks but already it's made a big difference, from simply RFi instead of open limping. Awesome.
if you just bluff like 10-25% of the time (maybe towards the lower), the more you might get the opponent to fold if you follow through on all 3 streets. But obviously board dependent. Sometimes you have to stop and check if you think opponents draws/flushes came in. But you can bluff more with blockers at least in these situations
Why are Pocket Aces folding more often than other paired hands/unpaired hands in the 4 bet call and reraise ranges? I would assume AA is a 100% in any preflop situation.
They're never folding pre, but once it hits the 4 bet range, especially heads up with the weakest ranges, aces don't need as much protection if any with a pot that large and are happy when an opponent bets into them on enough textures with an SPR that is so small. KK by contrast appreciates both the protection as well as not being in a tricky spot with the A high boards postflop.calling AA also protects the calling range.
Been finishing in the $ 80% of the time on BetOnline nightly big tournament and Sun big tournament. However I have 2 top 4 finishes , same w 5 n6 but can never get in the top 3 or win the tournament. Payoff difference between 4 n 1 is 3k and 21k vs 6k in the big one. What could I be doing wrong? Also I play w BB as my indicator instead of chips. Should I be rfi 2.0x or 3x or? I usually rfi 2.2x. Thanks for your input. It’s bc of your channel I’ve improved so much and honestly if I had not lost a few flips or gotten drawn out on I’d have even more big wins. Also never bought in for mote than 2 bullets except 1x th
You leave me utterly confused. What Button? If the SB raises 2.5BB, then he is OOP throughout the hand. The BB player is in position. Check for yourself next time when it folds to the blinds and you’re in a HU situation
The button is also the small blind in a heads-up holdem poker game. You’re confused because you think he’s talking about a multiplayer game, instead of a 2-person table.
