It's completely debunked nonsense. "Bacon is good for you!" is a great way to sell books but has no basis in reality. The only kernel of truth in there is that the American diet is so terrible that exchanging refined sugar for saturated fat is a good trade. But we should aim higher than the second worst possible diet.

We're apes. We eat plants. Eat whole plant foods and you don't have to worry about calorie counting and portion control (be sure to supplement B12 if you are completely vegan).

T432ds open in MP c'mon that can't be good.

If 500Z is full of nits why would you call river with A3cc?

30min top left can you just fold flop if he's not bluffing air, his semibluffs have good equity, and our visibility is terrible

37min top left don't understand the flop bet. The hand has high showdown potential, good visibility, you aren't getting value, and aren't protecting from much.

AJT8 isn't close to drawing dead against your hand: it has 32% equity on the flop.Getting him to fold that hand gets you a lot of protection by betting. Your hand also has extremely poor future street visibility so taking initiative and buying future street checks has a lot of merit.

It's crazy to dislike straddling in live PLO. It makes the game bigger and people are VPIPing with random cards in a full ring game which is obviously lighting money on fire. And people aren't adjusting, playing too loose and passive anyway.

2014: Jeans gets it in pre with 9762.
2015: Jeans folds AQJ2 with a nut suit pre.

You don't think a rec player would go for greedier sizing with trips or raise flop/donk turn?

5min

Cold calling A8o in SB and not opening A2o on BU doesn't seem consistent.

QQ against 1/6 pot against a rec player seems like a small river value raise. Were you concerned the reg cold called AA?

Yea I don't see how pot being a good sizing since the flop was multiway you clearly have something you can't be polarized between nuts/air.

Very good video. I see almost nobody k/r AJ & AT in this spot as it's seen as way too thin since villain has AKo/AQo but it's probably because people exploitably fold to too many k/rs.

Very optimistic to think a typical reg with a capped range is betting worse than 9x here for value against a good player. And valuebetting a flush to 3B bluff a straight flush with shallow stacks is clearly ridiculous.

23min top left if you know he has high cards and you have position why not just call so you can fold QJT flops etc

30min top right that seems like a light flop call. He can be valueraising overpairs if you are bet/calling almost every Jx. You should either have a FD for backup or 3B bluff I would think.

Ben you've mentioned multiple times throughout 10/20 videos how passive and straightforward the regs are at this limit and this is the perfect spot to soul crush them in an exploitative spot. The greatest advice Phil has ever given is don't give your opponents too much credit. Not barreling the SF gutshot on the turn with 7 high on a board so favorable for his range proves that he is river 3B bluffing here never.

Are you really floating 888 with Q high backdoor SF draw?

Could just be unfiltered and include a lot of 3-4 handed play.

C'mon, that quads call was bad. Is he really river 3B bluffing someone repping quads who has it a ton for 30 more BB? Yea, right.

Were those games really running around one 21/7 40BB stack?!

If you're heroing river on Q62rT2 after 4B and cbetting flop with KT because Human can have AJ doesn't that making cbetting bad since he's folding almost no better hands?

Durian defends T652 to a pot CO raise in BB. Phil begrudgingly defends KJ65 to a pot raise from BU. Is this purely a rake issue?

That hair is incredible.

I think passive players like HC when they are taking a bizarre crazy aggressive line where they don't rep anything are much more likely to be underbluffing than overbluffing.

Phil: the problem is the vast majority of his Ks are callable hands on the flop (he almost always has a gutter) e.g. KQT4ss would make no sense to raise. You have to find Ks hands that aren't good enough to call but decent enough to bluff raise on a board that smashes you. 

Game theory or no game theory: nobody tries to bluff someone off top set in a 3B pot. 

9min bottom left 37/4/0 rec player k/c donk pots turn then half pots river. That line from that type of player is almost always a flop or turn nutted made hand or made hand that needs protection. The river half pot screams blocking bet. Don't know why you would consider not valuebetting if checked to or being beat when calling.

52min KKTT isn't a very good calling hand imo since bluff you are looking to pick off is KKss. There's no way he's just blasting away with something like K987ss or JJss on a board that is so good for your range. 

'Cause the bluffers gonna bluff, bluff, bluff, bluff, bluff

And the callers gonna call, call, call, call, call

19min you snap call a 3B from a 30/15/6 with J432s. Seems like a pretty bad hand to go to war with against a tight range. 

The 22 fold seems fine. I don't think players at this level are valuebetting a nut flush and he can't have air.

Is the AKK2 fold standard? It's such a rare spot. You will flop a NFD 14% of the time and trips+ 14% of the time.
