The buy-in is 100$ + 100$ KO + Rake so 1 KO is worth 1 buy-in = 10k in chips

Hey Nick, very nice live session again. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Just from the top of my head:

1. 37:00 When choosing this river size with AQ are you always calling off a shove? There aren't any value combos that villain would not bet himself but depending on the player he might recognize that you are going for thin value. Just wondering if that ever happens at all at these stakes and if you were aware of that when sizing so small.

2. 49:00 I think his range is heavily weighted towards Ax and Kx floats as you already mentioned. Kind of looks like an Ax float trying to get value from Kx hands. He might not be aware that there aren't really any Kx type of hands in your range.

The problem I see regarding your line is that you are pretty much eliminating any Ax and Kx floats from your range since it doesn't make much sense to check/raise them. Which makes it a lot easier for villain to represent any broadway. So depending on his holding he either improves or has an easy life turning his worse combos into a credible bluff. 

If you x/raise, imo you have to continue firing the K on the turn to get value from his smaller PPs and Ax, because you can't represent Kx hands.

What don't you like about calling the flop? I don't think it is that easy for him to represent any overcards if you just x/call, because you keep those combos in your range too + you protect your hand from being blown off by his weaker hands.

(I'm kind of having a hard time expressing my thoughts, hope you see my points anyway)

Comment | lindstroehm commented on 25bb in SB with 66

I guess you thought villain's steal range might be too narrow to profitably resteal there because of the BB. Based on his stats I would still reshove to exploit icm. There is still a whole lot of hands he can profitably steal(/call) against the BB. Especially if the BB is a weak player and tends to fold too much because he is moneyscared or simply has no clue. On the other hand his calling range against a 25bb reshove should be quite narrow icmwise. So if you think he is capable of making good icm-based decisions 66 is definitely strong enough to get it in just because you have decent fold equity. Otherwise I tend to fold regarding the possible scenarios after you call.

Hey everyone,

when the hand occured only thing I knew about villain was that he is a reg.
Preflop (1200) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt K K
UTG folds, HJ folds, Hero raises to 1744, BN folds, SB folds, BB raises to 4000, Hero calls 2256
In retroperspective I like 4betting better just because we don't know what range villain is 3betting and what he is going to do postflop.
Flop (9200) 2 A 6 (2 Players)
BB bets 3200, Hero calls 3200
He should be c-betting 100%. I mean he might check weak Ax up to maybe AT because he probably won't get 3 streets value and is rather isolating himself against the stronger part of my range. But on the other hand those are the only hands he can check with, so he probably just cbets 100% to protect his bluffs and stuff.
Turn (15600) 2 A 6 9 (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero checks
When he checks I think he is either giving up or has a hand that has showdown value but won't get 3 streets value like AJ and worse Ax.
River (15600) 2 A 6 9 8 (2 Players)
BB bets 9200
I don't think I can profitably bluffcatch in that spot because I don't represent a range that is folding often enough and I am pretty sure villain is aware of that. I mostly have AT-AK, maybe TT and JJ and rarely QQ+. It is hard to put him on a range because we don't know how wide his preflop range is. Nevertheless I see him valuebetting against the biggest part of my range right here.
