Breaking Down the thought Process of a Winning Player 

I learn a ton from these call ins. Thanks for your work Mr. Bartholomew Hanson.

I like Bart's thought process in this hand. Couldn't agree more. The big blind should have a plethora of hands in this spot. 76. Ace four of clubs. 34 of clubs. 56 off, K4, Q4, J4, 84, 74, 54 of clubs because he was on the big blind. The cut off should have hands like pocket threes with the three of clubs. Pocket fives preferably with the club. Pocket sevens and pocket eights. Sometimes pocket jacks. I like a bet of 300 on the river. It's a very simple answer. If your opponent on the cutoff or the big blind raises you all you have to do is ask yourself at what frequency does my opponent make a bluff like this? If your opponent over bluffs or has shown a propensity to overbluff you're just going to have to call. Because the opponent could be turning hands like pocket sevens and pocket eights into a bluff. But generally speaking most players don't make those type of plays. Which is why it's important to understand your opponent. If I had no information on the opponents I would simply fold if I bet $300 and got raised.

Interesting hand and good analysis. Hero played it well

Thankful for this today

I had the same thought as caller on turn, I think OOP raises everything strong on turn and just calls draws like live players do, the CO behind him I think could potentially turn a set of 99 and just call, but then again would CO really raise river vs 1/3 with BB still behind once 87 comes in... would be a really nasty spot to get raised on river vs live players, in theory TT is probably literally the strongest hand we ever have here so we just easily call, but obviously calling river raises against live players is not comparable to GTO

Live poker is tough when you get into hands like this 3 way pot early on. You have no reads or history unless you played several hundred hands with villains beforehand. I believe this to be a well played hand with 2nd nuts in between 2 villains you have no history with

Outside of game selection, making big folds are what separate the winning players from the losing players. Most recs won't fold top set here for any bet size

All chips in good, played perfectly.

Hey I always play at Live in Philly I have to go back there soon

Bart for president!

I think that although the thought process of the river check is sound, I've seen people check call with two pair all three streets without raising, or flatting sets before jamming river to wait for a clean runout (And most of the time they're just looking to avoid flushes.) If I'm raised on the river, I'm calling with top set. Call me a fish, but I've seen people overvalue their hand way too much and way too late to take folding out of the question. I've seen people wait to the river to raise with Kings, Aces, two pair, bottom set, etc. Unless your opponents are good (Which is more of a reason to bet for value with busted club draw), I wouldn't worry about bet folding top set on the river.

This is an old one, but it's kind of refreshing. I've been thinking lately that I usually do not like the way the caller/hero plays their hand in any of these. Here though, I thought the hero played it perfect. I do prefer a 4X open pre, but otherwise I thought it was exactly correct.

Just doing my part

Caller deduced otr that a value bet can't get called by worse, yet both players ith have holdings they really shouldn't? 🤔 Seems to me a reasonably sized river bet and evaluate is appropriate. Block sizing is okay since we can get some people to spazz, but, checking top set otr is a long-run mistake, imo.

What do we do if BB leads out say $700 OTR?

Bart said it turned out well for him and some of the comments say how well he played the hand. But he got beat. What am I missing?

What does over value or unblock mean?

Hey 👋 ♤♡◇♧ played with you a bunch. Good luck. Vampire dude.

thought process of a winning player? Hah! at 2/5 maybe, but Brian gets torched at 10/10. He knows it too, that's why whenever he sits down he gets this nervous tick where he starts trying to bite his ear like a dog with fleas.x

I'm too lazy to go back and see if 88 or 77 is a possible holding in one of the villians hand, (was half watching and didn;t really pay attention till the end) but those are possible bluff hands, I wouldn't fold set of tens in the river.--if I bet them, which I would have--. guy with 5 8 clubs should have def bluffed river. he blocks both straights

I could see the big blind having 8-5 suited here, but I'm pretty surprised to see the cutoff with this hand. Shouldn't that hand should be folded 100% of the time preflop from the cutoff? And given that the player didn't fold that hand, I think we need to approach the hand differently, giving them a much wider range with the hands that they call bets with on the flop and turn as well. I don't have a problem with the big blind calling $20 more preflop closing the action with 8-7 off, but putting in $30 from the cutoff preflop with 8-5 suited I think is a pretty bad play.

I feel like Bart literally learned the phrase "Check 100" this last week. He has said this phrase EVERY video recently

Anything’s possible 7 8 off suit ? How does he call the 200 on the flop. I’d bet 500 on the river personally. The only thing I’m worried about is 5 3. Just a stupid donkey hand. I’d be looking to get value from 66 44 and 22

Did H say why he checked river?

Is the caller Beans from HCL?

2\3 turn is not on the larger side on a 642cc-9x board. 220 into 360 is more on the smaller side or medium size.

Bet fold on the river? There were only two hands to beat you. 35 and 78. Maybe it’s a leak but I don’t think I’m folding.

Cha'alt!

How do you let 2 callers get there. If you put them on a draw, how do get them off their hand and win the hand. Winning a smaller amount is better than losing the hand, correct? Someone help me out.

Yeah but what does our hand look like to our opponents when we bet 3 streets on the river here? Especially if we block bet? Looks like over pair to me. I think a block bet gets bluff raised allot here by anyone creative, no?

5:25... Hand recap

Check 100 spots only exist when opponents are capable of check raising correctly. When you node lock people to XR bluff less there are no check 100 spots.

Why would BB call the flop 80$ with 87o???

the math is wrong, pot should be 1020 on the river

Yeah that's a nice check on the river, if everyone is playing the hand like they are on draws it really is hard to get called by worse.

If you're not going broke to a shove here, you're not playing with +EV. Would be a horrible fold

Thought this guy was going to be mid-hand

This is a over bet turn spot

78o.😂😂😂😂

Bart, I love your work. Remove the gum, mate.

i love constantly being beat by players holding random cards they shouldn't have given the action and then donking their way into a made hand

Drink every time the caller says "like". Like when he says like, you like, drink like an alcohol shot from like a glass and then you like repeat it.

The amount of times the caller says like makes me cringe.

like like like like like jesus

all these specific names for the player position seem just like finance where terms are overly complex for no reason. it should just be like 1st 2nd 3rd 4th… etc lol

First. Idk what Bart says. He’s wrong. 😄

The caller is horrible at explaining this hand
