I think a lot of people have this same problem including myself. What I usually do is to constantly remind myself to not let winnings bring me down to my B game. If I feel that I am still playing very passive and scared, ill just quit for the session and come back another time.

at 36m mark. you open 33 with alot of reshoving stacks behind. I've always felt that we don't really want to call a 13-15bb reshove and that small PP have very little value other than a steal. What you think?

Hi Nick, at 16:30 you raise fold A8s on the button (around 26 bb deep). You said there is no argument for open shoving this. Why do you think that? In my mind, raise folding and open shoving should be quite close.

why would you say 1/2 pot cbets optimal? I see a lot of live players 1/2 pot cbet. Is it because of pots being multiway and we will have a more value heavy cbet range?

more live poker videos where there is more dynamics and multiway pots. I think thats where online players lack experience in which you can help. 

great video

I think maybe next time if you were to make a video for a specific concept you could first do a power point thing like what to consider, diff factors, situations to apply etc. Then move on to examples. 

Great video

considering what we want to do with our range on the turn vs a strongish sb range (very few floats with 1 players left to act on the flop), what bluffs would you have in your overbet range on the turn? Or is it not necessary to balance in these spots? 

I just feel if we want to over bet at any street, its better to do it on the river. Half potting the turn and over bet the river off a bigger chopped pot. Half potting turn is also enough to fold out most of opponents non-A pairs with our bluffs.

AQQx hand deep OOP. If you think villain is over bluffing the turn can you not turn your hand into a bluff and x/r the turn? 

bet for sure on turn. Flop i prefer x/c

bet size depends on your perceived range. What is your range for flatting the x/r on the flop? Does it include Ahx type hands? 

If your range to the river include those hands then bet bigger. I think given his line a bet here would be more +EV than checking. 

I would usually put villain on Jcx type hands. Could have a flush draw as well but i think that is unlikely, unless its Jhx. 

on the side, what would you have done had villain bet the turn? 

on the 1st hand w J6s , will over betting rivers be a better strategy as villains range is significantly capped here and we will have a ton of air type hands as well? Something like over bet with sets/straights and bet a standard size w 2p type hands or Ax. I just find that when you check this river  you can't really rely on villain betting thin for value as he has so few value combos. Maybe check raise some Tx or Qhigh spades on the river and balance that with like QJss

we are getting bit less than 2-1, plug into OO, AsKs has around 80+%equity vs a range of 8x7x-JxTx@100, QJ@75, KQ@25, 6x7x@50. Its a call. Even if you remove some gutters that fold flop or x/f turn. we still have more than enough equity to call and its not even close. add in some QxTx, AxTx and we still have 70+%

J4hh- i think a standard bet on the turn and an over bet on the river would do better. Its not like villains range is capped by checking the flop and also we do want to get value when we do have a hand. 

im interested. I play live in Macau and play 200-500zoom on stars

so what should our turn strategy be?

JT pretty unlike given that he didn;t x/r flop. and weird that he x/r the blank 5 on the turn when he flat flop. Given that he has got so few made value hands I think check on river is best. Im so lost as to what the hell villain has. Can you show us what villain had?

hey there what are the numbers from the EV(b,b,b). mind to post the fomulae

btn vs co this goes towards the top of our value range so i would bet. 2-7, T, K, A i would bet again on turn and check 8,9,T,J,Q as it strengthen villains range relative to ours and we will want to protect our checking range. 

i think the way to go is to see how each player interacts with the board and work from there. It really depends on your range. Whether you have A7s or 22 in it matters also to construct your flop strategy. If you can't defend you checks enough you have to move some of your value betting hands to your x/c range to protect it. However this also depends whether you feel villain is exploiting you or not. If you think villain is not def enough to your cbet then its fine to just cbet relentlessly until he adjusts then only you start to incorporate more value hands into your x/c range

love the accent

On the last hand with AJo in the sb. Do you like having a non all in 3bet range in this spot? Or you getting flatted by the button too often to 3bet call AJ here?
