Will have any counting towards how many hands do u need to play to achieve a splashed pot ?
If I get it right, it occurrs ocassionally. And Imagine if for some reason I select sitout BB next hand to a break, and then the splashed pot occurs in 3 tables. That would be extremely tilting. (Less tilting if I quit my session, but still, I would lost this rakeback).

Very nice ! I wish you guys the best and keep the argue to poker theory, this way you two will have a long relationship :)

Best!

Hi Mark,

I agree with Ripper91 that you miss some spots on the footage that you usually don´t lose while 3table, but anyway, I still think you did a great job explaining your thought processs (speaking what you will do on later streets and the reasons to call, balance your range and all that stuff).

As for future videos, I know you are SNE a few years, would be very nice to hear some advice from mttbling and stuff related.

Congratz for the video and keep it up the good work !

Cheers!

HI Stephen,

Nice video !!!

Sorry if this is a silly question, I´m not a MTT player, but in the 39min, you shoved 55 (20bbs) on a turbo tournament against which seems to be a really tight guy opening UTG. Is that standard shove for you ?

My question is that we still have the rest of the table to act, and against that oponnent it doesn´t seems a good spot to resteal. Plus we have a 10bbs behind which will come along somewhat frequently I guess.

Hi Tyler,

Nice video.

You said in 2:05 87s open is pretty marginal open on MP, and I just don´t get why. We have tons of playability to play OOP  once we get called , we are rarely dominated and it´s good for board coverage overall. I open 87s in UTG 100%. Would you mind elaborate why you think it´s marginal ?

Hey man,

Yes, that´s it´s exactly what happened. It´s kind of dificulty to interpreting stuff like that because in zoom games we barely play hands against each other (I mean big pots like this) so it´s actually kind of dificulty to interpret. Then you enter in a very interesting chat psichology discussion which should deserve a thread itself, because I suppose there are plenty of stuff to talk about :)

THanks very much so far, it´s been plenty of stuff to think.

I Have more accurate reads on villain now:

open 26 on CO

Fold to 3bet 69 overall. On CO 68 IP and 50 OOP

Now he have a 4bet on CO 28 and 4bet range 5, which now it seems a pretty easy shove pf.

My main reason is that it is a 3bet for value, but not sure if I´m in good shape if I shove here, so I flat and play the pot IP (even though it´s a huge pot already). Do you think that the EV for shove and guarantee to realize our equity (since we are AI) is better than flat and play this pot IP ?

Hey buddy,

I would for sure take it off those crap offsuited hands and just put all Axs. You have plenty of cards to barrell, since your draw will be to the nuts, and you can still control the pot when you flop your TP. Overall seems good but I would put ATo still in the 3bet range. Too good of a hand :)

I suppose the turn call is mandatory because we do get more equity with the GS and I think we have the necessary odds to call again. (even though he seems to be the type of guy who follows through).

Your range have all sets and Idk if he have 77 44 and 66 , you have all 89 and as well pairs+gutters and TP hands (Since I assume you defend until JTo against 15% 3bet).

He have all overpairs and you don´t which are a ton of combos and by this turn being 6, it prevents him for keep barrelling off suited broadways (like KJo KQo, AQo) that might 3bet pf.

That being said, his range have being some around this:

66+,ATs-A4s,KTs-K9s,QTs,ATo (85 combos) Assuming that he is keep barreling the GS and his 1p hands. Idk if he starts by betting all his TP as well we can cute a few. I did not put stuff like SCs on his 3betting , since I´m assuming 15% is more a linear range and since I know your game and you don´t fold very often to 3bets, he didn´t should 3bet you with a polarized range.

Your range OTR it seems to me something around this:

TT-66,44,ATs,KTs,QTs,JTs,T9s,98s,87s,76s,ATo,KTo,QTo (75 combos).

Assuming that Q OTR doesn´t change anything and if he follow through OTR everytime you have a great range advantage here (OTR is 62.54% to you). You need around 28% equity to call.

He shouldn´t 3barrell AT and KT stuff and not JJ as well, so that keeps him with very few combos. So with your especific hand (T9s) you have around 50% and that´s seems to be not a happy (because you block some of his gutters bluffs), but still a call due to pot odds.

I would appreciate any feedback about this assumptions :)

Good Video Kevin,

First hand on table 2, T9o you x/C the flop which seems standard to me and on the turn you fold because you told that you could x/R better hands with FD and stuff like that. I´me a little confused about spots like this, because I suppose that most of our hands that wanto to float here and got a FD on the turn either has overcards or a pair, which doesn´t make me x/R those hand  on the turn.

WOuld be T9o too bad of a x/R flop since we only got a GS and T high? I just feel a little bad about x/C and x/F those hands but it seems that line which most of the people are taking.

I see your points guys, but since I want him to call with TT or JT, wouldn´t be better if we make it smaller and make his call "easier" ? I would never bluff overall in this spot OTR, it´s just a spot where I can´t find bluff in my range , so I don´t think I should be too much worried about picking a size that I will bluff too!

I Just want to state this:

Despite of being KJo a flat or a 4bet, it kind of doesn´t matter too much I guess. You can build your range in whenever way you want it. You can have very aggros pf ranges (like Nanonoko seems to have) or have more flatting ranges without too much 4bets overall. I suppose both are reasonable.

For me, in this spot, flat is always better because:

If we hit top pair against this guy we have a very clear xC 2 streets at least.
We keep shit stuff that we dominate Kxs or Jxs
We still have some blockers that we can use.

I mean, it´s not the end of the world flat or 4bet, I´m pretty sure we have plenty of winners regs here that might disagree with that, but more importantly it to know how we play our range postflop (Like BigFiszh tried to show us)

MIke, I found this to be very, very personal question.

Since I do like to pratice sports (for health overall) I like to split my time into 1 medidation or yoga a day and one for sports (swimming, gym, soccer since I´m a brazilian we play a lot here). So I suppose that´s fits better into MY routine.

While I feel like I benefit from these practiced I find it hard to say exactly why or to quantify it.

COmpletely agree with above, and I can tell you that once you stop to doing you will feel the effects very soon (at least to me they show pretty quick). On Poker this can be translated to spending energy complaining about bad runnouts, or even coolers (stuff like Stars is rigged), stuff like lose 3 flips in a row, having AK on 2 and QQ in other and lose they all, when I´m not "mindfull" this tends to affect me much more. Players making bad plays and winning, all stuff that shouldn´t matter too much to us as poker players tends to take a very big proportion in our life everyday.

He might decided to slowplay all sets or even flat QQ so he does have all those hands and with 2 FDs it´s ok I guess to raise here. You have plenty, plenty of draws here , AA KK TPs stuff, I think this is your whole range here so I suppose his raise is very ok since there are many draws out there and he can extrat value raising here.

You are receiving amazing odds here, so I guess I would be lean towards call and DB all flushes completed and call your straights as well so I think you are balanced enough overall.

You said you want to have some stuff to balance with QQ and JJ and your hand seems amazing too, you have no SD value but you still have too many outs against a set.

Fwiw, I would lean towards a call because of pot odds but I´m quite unsure what is best here.

Very cool subject. I was fortunate enough to get to know medidation, Yoga and all those mindfulness stuff through Poker.

I´ve read plenty of book and watch a ton of videos as well and every day I just see how much I have to learn about mindfulness and how wonderfull it is for everyone life.

The power of Now quoted by Mushmellow it´s a great read byt I´ve found the best writer (and it´s total my opinion) to be Jon Kabat Zinn.

This is a great first experience for those who are skeptical about mindfulness. And then, if you like it, you can dive into this subject.

Wherever you go there you are is an amazing book from him and I´m currently reading Full Catastrophe Living.

I´m also praticing Yoga and I think it´s been very helpfull for all of us who are poker players and spent plenty of time sitted everyday. I´m no longer a kid (28 years old) and my stretch is very bad overall (And I consider myself  a very active guy. I wonder for those who live more sedentary lifestyle can suffer with that when they got to 40s). So it´s something that can help your mind and also your body (once you start in mindfulness subjects you no longer see mind and body are two diferrent things but more like a whole thing and interconnected).

Sorry about the long post and since english is not my native language I can make some grammar mistakes but I hope you guys take something from that.

Feel free to PM me if you are interested in talk more about this subject. We are all students and have plenty of stuff to know from everybody.

Namasté.

Hi Ben, good to see your post around on these stakes. Do you think he is just repping with the blocker or do you think he can have those SCs combos ?

@Doutdes

Sorry it was my bad, I just forgot :P

@Doutdes

Hmm yes he might have but TJs  might raise OTT except from JTss. 98ss should be a very good raise as bluff plenty of odds and FE. T9ss seems an okay call. but if he have those spades combos it´s much more likely that we should check here. But either way, Idk how can we xF this river :(

I don´t think he need to be raising his set OTT so I suppose he might have some sets here (as well as you).

OTR  He might have stuff like AKss KJss ATss AJss and some AsKx AsQo AsJx and still have some slowplayed set so there is nothing much value to getting here I guess and we give him room for make a move so I suppose we should starting check.

Against this range we have around 40% equity so unless he overbets here I would xC here.

I don´t agree that Qh is relevant at all here. Most of his xR here (I agree that he doesn´t have many bluff here) will be GS with BDFD (or at least should). As for xR for value he still have 9 combos AT and 4 A5 3 combos of 55 (I´m assuming that he don´t 3bet those hand but I suppose he might 3bet ATs for value sometimes). If he xR KQ KJ QJ w FD and BDFD is 6 combos and I don´t see that many stuff that hands that works well as semi bluff like KQo type off stuff (let me know if you guys disagree). Maybe Tsxs with pair+FD

So by calling this turn PSB I suppose we can assume that he will shove the river quite often and we kind of have to make our decision OTT. Do we believe he xR bluff bluff here ? I think he is more towards value because since he win a big pot a few hands ago, he should be less inclined to bluff you since you might be upset against him and call him light.

Fwiw, I would fold this river but the fold OTT doesn´t seem bad to me. What you guys think ?

Thanks for the input guys ;)

Raphael,

Against sets which we got 2 streets of value , wouldn´t be better flop and turn instead of checking back and see a lot of action killers ?  (spades and 3)

Like you said he won´t xR 76 here and neither sets, so Idk it seems we lose value here and let him realize his equity for free here if we check back
