Hey Lucas great video series.  I'm trying to get a solid foundation down for approaching spots where we're facing 3bets pre on relatively short stacks.  In the T9s hand at about 2:00 you call a 3bet oop with about 25 bbs effective.  As you say you're getting a good price vs his range and it will be fairly easy to play post if you flop some equity. I agree with all this.  I recently played a very similar hand except I was in position and it was very close to the FT.  I posted it on 2p2 right after and everyone said I wasn't deep enough to be flatting. I felt like it was fine, and I'm not sure if I should be believing the advice I received.  If you could possibly just have a quick look at the post and give me your thoughts that would be greatly appreciated.  If not then no biggie.

Hey nice video man!  With the AK at around 33:40 I think we should definitely consider jamming this turn. I think he has a lot of 66-TT here and even a Jx will be laying down a fair amount of the time given the strength of your line.  You should have at least a few bluffs in your shoving range here and aside from 9Ts and KT (which I'm not sure you'd be squeezing) AK is one of the best candidates. 

at 40:05 on the top right table getting almost 2 to 1 on the back shove don't you think you have enough equity vs his range to call or do you feel it's too nutted?

off topic but where can I find the picture on your desktop? 

I'm playing mainly NHLE100.  If I could get on it that would be awesome. let me know what you think..thanks

Hi, I'm really interested in doing group discussion like this.  maybe we could do it once or twice a week on skype and do shared screen holdem manager hand history discussion.

at 29:20 with the 4bet AK.  I find myself having some troubles with this SPR OOP with AK when I miss.  What is you plan going to be on say a 58T or J92 board? What about a board with two broadways such as QT3?  Also what type of boards specifically are you going to going into C/give up mode?  Obv it's player dependent, but let's assume it's vs a player who is is calling 4 bets with a pretty strong range, as well as some random SCs, and suited high cards. like K8s etc.

awesome..thanks

I know how to post a hand on here, but my question is how I take my posted hand at weaktight.com and convert it onto here and have it show up like this hand.

how do you take your posted hand at weaktight.com and repost it on here? I made an account there and posted a hand but am unsure how to get it onto this site as you did..thanks!

I think GT is talking about C/R-ing the river, which I didn't really consider, but is actually a pretty good option. With my rep in that spot, I'd actually expect him to fold everything but a straight or better

Thanks for the info James. I have a general question that maybe you could give me some info about, I'll ask at the bottom of the post. I actually have him noted for fast playing strong flopped hands (2 pair +), so I'm assuming he would tend to do so on this wet board as well. I think he will usually just call with his Jx hands though because he knows I'll only continue with a tight range that beats him if he raises. It's just a question of whether he's going to going for value with Jx on the river there. I have paid him off slightly light in the past, probably mostly due to me being paranoid that he's trying to run me over, so I think he actually would usually do so, especially with good kickers. I've been able to do a bit better vs him lately, just by repping strength in certain spots as opposed to folding, because I know he will give me credit at least until I show I'm willing to play back light more often. I feel like I've definately bled money to some of the good regs I play with by always having a feeling that they are getting the best of me in pots, and so maybe making a few too many paranoid calls. I often start to get anxious and suspicious once pots starts developing between us. On the other side of it though I know being too tight and passive is also exploitable. So my question is just if you any advice for me moving forward dealing with these tough regs..thanks!

is the second popup box bellow you main popup a default one on HM2, or did you design it yourself? thanks!
