Learn How to MASTER Live Limped Pots 

I think this is something to examine. It’s definitely been a barrier for me in my Poker journey. Wanting to make the game tree easier to navigate is not the same thing as improving, or even playing better. He did raise the flop, however reasons are all that really matter in this game. And the real difference between players is the quality of their reasons. I think important questions to ask yourself if you want to improve, is what does your range look like in this spot? If you raise flop, in a multi way pot, do you have any bluffs? Do you need to have bluffs? Why or why not? What hands are you targeting in your opponents range that can continue? How prevalent are they in their range (how often do you expect folds)? Does your opponent(S) have any bluffs? What does their range look like in terms of value to bluff ratio? Is there range simply linear (they don’t have bluffs, just varying degrees of strength)? Or are they playing way to many hands? How accurate is your heuristic of measuring these things in real time? And then finally, look into the best bet sizes to accomplish your game plan. You have to know how you are generating EV, not how you will win the hand. I think if you pay attention to how Bart is thinking through these spots rather than his end product decision or evaluation, you will be much better served. This degree of analysis is very different from, limpers ranges are wide, and that means they can improve on a lot of cards. I don’t want to get sucked out on. I will bet. You get the same decision of raising, but only one of these thought processes has a shot of navigating to the highest EV position in the game tree. I think if you simply spend time thinking about these questions on various textures and scenarios, it will open up this game for you in a way that making future decisions easier will never do. There are tons of resources out there. I’m just another lost poker soul trying to learn this brutally hard, but beautiful game. I’m certainly not where I want to be yet, and I’m not in a position to tell anyone how to play. But I am in the weeds studying, and working hard on improving everyday. The real danger to growth is trying to protect our selves from feeling uncomfortable. Growth is uncomfortable. Embrace the swings, embrace the grind, embrace difficult decisions. Best of luck out there!

The problem still is the bigger you go, the more money you just punt off to Ax. How many Jx can villain realistically have that you're trying to steal equity from?

Quite often in a fishy live game

Wdym? Any Ace would’ve called because it’s the nuts. It’s more likely SB has Jx imo.

⁠@@azncooler97 yes, but I was trying to say what hands get to the river as played with an ace in it.

2/5 super soft! for real!

Foxwoods is strictly for plo for most people haha NL games are nitty as fuck

@@joewhite9475 for a few weeks, MS had a pretty regular 2/5 PLO game. But it seems to have died sadly. I wish we could get a 2/2 PLO game at either place ever.

KQ or K10 of spade makes the most sense

@@R0BACE why are any of these bet/calling flop 7 ways & then check raising turn when getting a really, really good price?

Asxs is not raising turn

He lied

Something like KQss or KTss isn't outside the realm of possibility. Tanking despite knowing they have to fold

@@TheGuyCalledX thats exactly what i thought. and that for some reason they were thinking of hero calling with K high kicker lmao. it had to be a suited spade hand the way it played. if he admitted to not having a jack i just dont see what else it could have been

@@TheGuyCalledX K10 suited makes the most sense to limp

Last time i play at Mohegan it was computer tables. I lived in RI but moved to las vegas 3 years ago...

I mean: If he had J2s, then he loses to every A2 and AJ, while beating (probably) a single combo of 22 that might bluff, or even extremely creative and equally unlikely stuff like KQ/KT/QT of Spades . - Of course, the 4 combos of A2 should not really be there after the Jack counterfeiting them on the Turn; - but who knows?! Given the pot odds, I might consider: "When in doubt, coinflip it out. " in Villain's shoes, though.

Literally should be thrown in jail lol

Ask yourself: How do you think your hand will improve? Answer: unless a 6 comes - and even then you might be dead to 22, AJo that didn’t bet, + all Ax higher than A6

obv he didn't have an ace

Ax isn’t leading flop into a field unless it’s 2 pair after limping pre flop. 100% he had J2. Hero should have folded on the turn to the click back. It’s easier to narrow an opponent’s range earlier in a hand when it’s multi-way.

​@@AT-bw4cmagree

@@AT-bw4cm I'm a nit, but I'd be happy leading into the field with a pair of Aces in a limped pot. If I block top pair, the chances of someone else having two pair or a set aren't that good, and if it's not a draw heavy board, it's probably going to check through. There's nothing wrong with betting when you have the best hand, and it's very likely going to check through. It's ridiculous to assume that anyone leading in a limped pot has two pair+ on the flop.

@@gabrielrockman Betting 1st to act into 6 players with a marginal hand isn’t very smart.

That's why I hate limp pots. Can have any 2 random cards.

I agree. I thought the single combo of J2 suited was significantly more prevalent than the 6 combos of AJ that are left. Very very slim chance SB limps AJ when it limps to him

​@@speakinfaxonly21SB can have J2o or limp with AJ

Hero is telling he didn't raise AJ preflop

hey hero still took it down

@@ts4gv No disagreement :). We were handed a gift when V checked. Even a blocker bet, I am feeling sick to my stomache.

I see this online so often it’s not even funny. Not hard to think it translates to live

I was thinking q10ss too but just such an odd c/r on turn. Either that or j2dd for me even tho caller said he didn’t have a j. Whole hand threw me for a loop. V obviously calling with a10 btw

As played; what hand does a jack beat? I only see 22. Seems like a jack on the river is either splitting or losing.

And where do you play, sir? 😬

@@joncorb540 LMAO!
