River Decisions in Poker 

I enjoy when Bart gives a bit of tutoring it's like a free trial of the CLP course

Never underestimate the stupidity of your opponent.

9:00 Solvers don't think it be like it is, but it do.

The check back saved u money. Bart leaning towards 88 was on point because who really is going to barrel out on the river when they appeared weak earlier in a lower stakes game

He was tanking on the river thinking about folding 😂😂

i think hes beat but i didnt expect the 57

"I actually decide to check it back and maybe evaluate...reevaluate on the river."

if we lead the flop with bottom set here, what types of hands do we lead with that are bluffs/semi-bluffs? do we lead AQ? or is our range very strong/only semi-bluffs

Hustler and comerce both open

I was literally thinking about how 5-7 suited was 100% likely on the river. All combos are available, aggressive players love suited connectors and suited gappers after check calling the flop then making the nuts it makes sense to check the turn as well. Check call lead is often a weird line. Nothing about this hand for 1-3 or 2-5 doesn’t make sense to me.

If a K or A on the turn, checking back to rep a Qx, but it was a 4, so I would make a bet on the turn. Check on the river if he check

Fold pre

Villian is good

Lost the least n free shot at a boat..that would apparently pay pot on river?

66 is a trash hand to call an UTG bet with as UTG+1. Even if u have the UTG pegged as loose, you think ur the only one at the table that has identified them? If he's opening with shit like 57s, hero can expect other players to correctly 3 bet him super wide, leaving hero vulnerable to squeezes. Just fold! Even 3 betting would be better actually(not better than folding), anything but just calling.

Jamming this river 100% definitely overkill. I’m calling this river more than I am jamming, Vs line isn’t consistent with how the overwhelming majority play their overpairs and also is he really overbetting his Qx that check flop? I don’t think so. I don’t even think this river size is polarising because I don’t think he has any bluffs so to me it’s always value. And given that I would discount his value bets that we beat (most of the time) it’s a call for me

I would just call this river as well, because the line by villain was incredibly suspicious. He checked then cold called a bet and a raise on the flop. Definitely not looking like a top pair kind of hand since those are pretty much always cbet, could be either a draw (since many recreational players don't bet their draws but check-call any bet with them), or an overset (again, recs love slowplaying especially when it makes no sense). This makes the river very polarized, especially seeing the overbet sizing, so no value to gain by raising.

Our flop check-raise looks stronger than if we just bet the flop. One of the villains might release a queen to the turn shell given this action. Why would we check the turn? Missed value.

I don't even agree with Bart's hypothetical that if villain only had $135 remaining that it is ALWAYS 100% a bet-call by villain if hero shoves. In my opinion, villain can definitely be overbet bluffing with busted straight draws like T9s that would have called $100 on flop, check-check turn, and then blasted river at perceived weakness based on turn checking through.

Is this 6-handed, 7 or 9?? I have no idea why we ignored 57suited as a hand we lose to. I assume because this hand "shouldn't " be raising UTG, but the 3-bet frequency is so low in some of these low stakes games it happens and it might not be so terrible. This is then played by the villain in such a typical draw fashion on the flop on a board with only 2 draws, 57, and 97 that's it. Obviously I'm not saying he definitely has 1 of those but it has to be taken into consideration. I think a good range is 57s, 97s, random Qx garbage and horrendously played 99-JJ at a low frequency and weirdly played KK and AA at a low frequency, stupid gutshots at a low frequency. Most of these will fold to a shove, and I think a lot of Qx finds a fold too. This is a strange lead from Qx too. Maybe AA and KK call off , but I really hate shoving the 66 on the river. Note: I know I'm not the greatest poker player in the universe and I might have some errors in logic, curious what others think. I very rarely find myself disagreeing with Bart in these videos.

i'm raising all-in on the river, 100%

it is pronounced HA-MOOL. I am a SD Girl from way back. xo

All the casinos are open, despite it being a terrible idea, since our cases are spiking out of control and it's worse than it's ever been. Stay home.
