So the "secret" is DON'T CALL when you have two pair and there is a straight on board and a flush comes in and one of your opponents has been betting every street and your other opponent has been calling every street and they both have seen you call every street.
Great hand! A clear 3-bet spot preflop I agree with Bart. Poker has finally returned to Boston Encore and the wait-list is usually deep, as well as the stacks. The 2/5 game is capped at $1k, 1/3 at $500. And both now are featuring a brand new, exciting (definitely for the casino and certainly Daniel Negreanu as well) an industry leading rake of $10+$1+$1 up to 10% for anyone interested
I remember when NL first started being played in casinos. There were no straddles and before jumping up in stakes, I started at 2/5 for a few months. Every game I ever played in the US (including NY underground clubs) were a 200-500 buy in.
@@dan22482 It only ran on weekends. Now it goes every day and is still the softest 2/5 in Vegas. They have been trying to start a 5/5 match stack but it hasn't started yet far as I know.
@@snex000 Definitely soft but it doesn’t play deep enough for it to be worth your time if you’re good enough to win at 2/5. I’d rather play the Wynn or Aria games personally. 2-3x as much money on the table and the players aren’t all that much better.
And at the same time, as poker players, we shouldn’t put other players on a pedestal unless they are actually solid winning pros.. and even then, people still tend to tighten up against them; meanwhile they should be doing the opposite and be more aggressive towards them, since pros are likely to have a balanced strategy of bluffs and value. Fight fire with fire.
Agreed, unless it’s an OMC, a low VPIP usually means nit reg or grinder. Far easier to play against because they won’t put you in spots post flop, but on the other hand they won’t pay you off unless it’s a cooler. Bad for the game overall.
I had a hand just like this, where I flopped top 2, turn was an 8, that you would think was a brick, but the other 2 guys lost their minds, and shoved over my bet. (I bet flop and bet turn). I made a crying call, and they had 2nd & 3rd pair, and 3rd & 4th pair (with that 8 that should have changed nothing). My top top 2 held and I got all da monies! Good times!
On the flop, the cbet + call before Hero's action would happen with ANY two Broadway cards so these flop actions mean little. The only hand that isn't two Broadways is 66 or J9. It's almost like this is a short-deck game because of the preflop action and the characteristics of the Villains. It's a great hand for education.
Haven't seen the results, but when the CO calls I'm out. At least one of these guys has us beat, if not both. Its pretty hard for the CO player to be calling with a worse hand than AQ especially since he's supposedly a good, tight player.
This wasn’t super highlighted in the video but given that RFI was LJ, KJ becomes way more likely than if RFI was early position. I think we have to take that into consideration and find a fold.
Caller says on flop and turn: “I don’t know which worse hands I’m getting to call here”.. he needs to know that part of the equation is also charging people for their draws. And big. - Spade draws. Back door diamonds. J9 suited. QX of spades.
Also draws like KJ, and more.. sure, THIS time the villain turned the nut straight; but often times the villains will miss, and you want to get the extra value for when they do.
I think caller may be underestimating CO. If hero is passive against these players, perhaps CO, being a good player, recognizes this. He might call wide knowing he will rarely get raised by BB. Also hero underrepped his hand, so either villain probably isn't giving him AQ. I think CO or LJ could have alot of backdoor flush draws on the turn. On the river, I think it's likely CO raises all his flushes. Maybe he thinks LJ is overbluffing. When he calls, I think he likely has a bluff catcher like QJ with the diamond or AJo with the diamond. He knows his call looks strong, and will get hero to fold hands like A2-9 spades and hero could have other spade draws.
This is why 3betting preflop and not being afraid of « solid » players is important. It would have saved the stack. KJ might fold preflop, and even if it doesn’t, a c-bet on the flop might maybe do it. Not sure I believe the guy who says he had a set given that he played so passively with so many draws out there. Especially if he had 66 or TT (QQ very unlikely) bevause it does not block any of the good hands AND the draxing hands the opponents will call with.
He knows the guy just led into 2 players who both called. Then with another lead on the river the kj is just face up after that. A set of 6s looking to boat up on the river makes sense. A whole lot of sense. Missed spades isn't calling river. 66 really is the only hand that makes sense as to how he played it. Any other set probably would have raise pre.
Bart you might want to change how you do THESE types, to like classroom type video. This caller Obviously is new to middle strong player. But u do got paid training where you I'd hope make more since. To new players this DOES Nothing for them.... just my humble opinion 💯💪🏾🤞🏽
Just block the river for 50 bucks and fold to a raise, because people are not capeable of bluffraising here or valueraising worse. Every other play is a punt here OTR
@Jimmy Two Times They're both good players who you know can fold and you know the CO has called light, there's a good chance the LJ has opened light and that you'll get 2 folds and pick up the dead money. It's a standard 3 bet in this spot tbh.
@Jimmy Two Times No shit, a middle pocket pair is exactly the hand I would expect him to call with. Given the flop comes QT6, and I have a Q and would expect him to 3 bet with TT, he only has 66 as a flopped set, or maybe QT. And he's very unlikely to have either. Not sure why you're getting so damn uptight about me saying I'd 3 bet it, if you want to call that's fine you call, people play different to you though. Relax.
@420villain Why aren't players opening light, unless they're total nits? They should be opening most AXs, a lot of KXs, a lot of smaller suited connectors etc. There are more hands he's opening and folding to a 3 bet than he's opening and 4 betting/calling if he's anything other than a nit.
@Jimmy Two Times And trappy players are dead easy to spot and adjust against, super passives who keep showing up with the goods. Too easy to play against as you can take it easy with middling or better hands, fold when they show serious aggression and value bet them to hell when you have it. Better to be more balanced than too trappy imo.
Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooold. Interesting how Hero is complaining about what worse hand Vs could have ott and then calls otr when situation gots way worse. "Getting odds" multiway is the devil.
I paused at 7:08 Am I crazy? If I didn't 3 bet pre, which I would 90% plus. How do you not raise turn? PLease tell me if i'm, wrong, and why. I'm gonna watch rest. I am open to the fact that I may be wrong, b ut vant see hjow.
OKay. I'm high. I meant flop. I still don't know hands or river. If I raise flop, i'm betting turn of course. Most of the potential pain will come from passive preflop play, i'm guessing if so. OKay.... Let's see river!
