Just an idea @rabman50 for the next book;
But why not Fox’s new Horse book and then we could run practice games with it at the same time and Fox is always keen to be involved.
Also – The Poker Brain by Matt Matros?
Also – purpose practice seeing how Gareth is on the recing crew?

Thanks for the feedback.
So we both miss a lot of value here – or at least that was the feedback i received.
The bb should be super wide.
I min opened he should be defending super wide – especially as the CL where he can look to exert pressure – I dont think we should assign him a tight range.
When we check behind turn.
We should hear from the villain if we are beat on the river –
We now beat all 2 pair hands.
we lose to straights and full houses.
Hes very unlikely to have a full house as he would have bet to protect his set with the board with the straight on it.
And is likely to bet the straight as he wont want to miss value.
All 2 pair hands he wants to get to showdown with.
I think we should have bet the river – say 1/3 pot and charge those hands.
Its thin value – but i think thin value spots are the diff between an average player and a good player.
Love to hear your thoughts.

I misses last week.
Which one was decided upon.

Especially live – i think it is fine to fold AK deep when faced with action like
you open
someone 3 bets
Next player all in.
Obviously depends on Stack Size as Binkley has covered.
Live you can player profile a lot more and players will play with their holdings face up a lot.
In a scenario above – with a certain type of player profile you may either be dead to AA or drawing very thin against KK.
I wouldn’t make it a habit to fold AK without reads and player profiling.
All the best over the Christmas Break.

Flynn is a local down here in Australia and we were chatting about this hand the other night.
We have all become low stakes regs on gg.
So…
My take on the hand as played.
Standard defend pre.
I can’t imagine raising pre does much apart from bloating a pot with against a villain who should have more AX in his range which dominate us.
FLOP:
I am still not quite sure who has the nut advantage and range advantage on the board.
We have more 5’s – 45s for example.
Love someone in the recing crew to help with this.
Agree with the check.
Villain bets 1/3 pot (standard sizing that I would suggest for most of villains range).
Agree with the call.
I hate a raise here – villain still has us dominated with a large part of his range.
If we do raise we are hoping he is holding either a pair 77+ or something like JQs, KQs – with a big flush draw.
TURN:
I check here again to the aggressor – hoping for a little pot control at this point.
Old mate bets again.
So by this time I would be narrowing his range down to AX and big spade draws.
I call here again.
RIVER:
We check and he bets 55% into the pot.
Giving us pot odds of roughly 3:1.
We need equity of 25% to call (ignoring ICM)
If we call and are wrong we are left with a tiny stack and will likely bust next.
If we call and are right we become the big stack at the table.
The fact that villain has emptied the clip and fired all 3 barrels.
I am more than likely going to just fold and snap my laptop if he shows the bluff.
If he has 3 barrelled with a worse AX than us, or he fired the last bullet with KQs, KJs, JQs – it has been an unnaturally aggressive play at these stakes and we don’t see that many villains who bet all 3 streets without the goods.
So I fold river in what has played out to be a really awkward hand.
So side note –
Villain shows a 9.
So what nines does he have to take this line?
A complete air ball – unlikely.
99 – I don’t see him firing turn and river.
A9 – is the most realistic from his perspective – he is likely getting raised with better and flatted by worse pre and therefore happy to just lean on you.
Always happy to hear I am wrong folks.
All the best for Christmas and New Year everyone!

*** EDIT HIS HAND WAS Q7cc
And I blocked AK.

How did we go with the bio’s?

Rob – I high five the dealer – press shove and shotgun my beer!
-
I’d be inclined to call down as played.
I can be a bit of a nit and may have decided to dance with the villain only when I had position – everything else I would play tight against these guys they show up with the most random 2 pair hands.
I do wonder when OOP here what would happen if you take the initiative away at some point in the hand.

@FiveByFive – a suggestion for a seminar?
These spots are faced by almost every rec player known to man as the stakes we all play.
-
OK – thankyou all for the reply.
Completely get the range – short stack ninja play in motion right there.
I was chipped that night about shoving and i made almost an identical play in reverse when live 1 day later, a player behind me flatted and I shipped it with 44 to isolate the original shove. Person who flatted folded.
I was chipped about that too…
“opportunity to eliminate a player blah blah”
I just sipped my beer, listened to what he had to say and then counted all the dead money in the middle with a smile, quietly thinking fox wallace would be proud.
