00:00:00
what separates a low stakes Grinder from
00:00:02
a high stakes Crusher today we're going
00:00:05
to find out I'm going to take three
00:00:07
poker Pros one who plays low stakes one
00:00:09
who plays mid-stakes and one who plays
00:00:11
nose bleed high stakes and we're going
00:00:13
to have them play the exact four same
00:00:15
hands to get a peek inside their heads
00:00:18
to see just how differently they think
00:00:20
about poker first let's meet the players
00:00:23
uh my name is Branson I'm based out of
00:00:25
the California LA area I play the 5510
00:00:28
at the gardens which has an 800 cap so
00:00:31
it's a bit lower it plays more like a 55
00:00:33
than a 510 right now I'm going the
00:00:35
content creator route so I'd like that
00:00:37
Avenue to build but yeah a lot of times
00:00:39
I've relied a lot on poker you have the
00:00:41
best shorts man they're so clean and
00:00:43
like well executed I can tell you put a
00:00:45
ton of time into them I enjoy just being
00:00:47
creative and different I love poker and
00:00:48
it's it's fun to have fun and especially
00:00:50
in a short format of 60 seconds I'm not
00:00:52
going to go into Crazy Hand analysis so
00:00:54
let's just have fun with it I'm Tommy
00:00:56
out and I'm from Hong Kong I've played
00:00:58
full-time poker in my car for a year $
00:01:01
510 in US dollar or exactly is 612 I
00:01:06
heard that you were going to be coming
00:01:08
to America in traveling to different
00:01:11
poker cities across the country and
00:01:13
making a vlog on the Hungry Horse
00:01:14
channel is this true that's true yeah
00:01:17
I'm going to travel to the US and
00:01:19
explore different casinos there with
00:01:21
Hungry Horse hi guys my name is GTH I am
00:01:24
the co-owner of Hungry Horse poker and I
00:01:26
have played as big as $400 $800 $1,600
00:01:30
was in life for this experiment I'm
00:01:32
going to walk them through pre-f flop so
00:01:33
they all get to the flop in the exact
00:01:35
same way then they will talk us through
00:01:37
their thought process post flop for each
00:01:38
Street they will have a one minute shot
00:01:41
clock to make their final decision for
00:01:43
each hand I have built out contingencies
00:01:45
for every scenario that is likely to
00:01:48
occur for example if hero bets less than
00:01:51
500 on the Flop the villain will check
00:01:52
raise 3.3x or if hero bets greater than
00:01:55
500 on the Flop villain will check call
00:01:58
all right without further Ado let's jump
00:02:01
in all right firstand here so we are
00:02:03
playing 2040 and we are 11,000 effective
00:02:08
with the villain who is going to be in
00:02:09
the cut off the villain opens to 120
00:02:12
this is a recreational player and we
00:02:15
three bet on the button isolate get the
00:02:17
pot heads up against the wreck with King
00:02:19
Queen of Spades he is going to call now
00:02:22
the Flop comes Queen Jack 10 with a
00:02:25
couple of Hearts our opponent checks it
00:02:27
over to us and this is the first
00:02:30
decision point so 1 minute Ready set go
00:02:33
yeah so my first instinct on three bet
00:02:35
pots is a lot of times post flop I'm
00:02:38
going smaller sizings a lot of times
00:02:40
normally I'm playing less big blinds
00:02:42
effective so I'm much shallower than
00:02:44
this uh however I will take a larger
00:02:47
sizing if it's going to be a more
00:02:48
connected board I'm going to take
00:02:49
smaller sizings on dryer boards uh so
00:02:52
here is a pretty heavily connected board
00:02:56
and if I'm betting here I'm going to be
00:02:58
betting a little bit bigger I'm not
00:02:59
going to be going like you know quarter
00:03:01
pot or third pot or something like that
00:03:02
I'm going to go a little bit bigger
00:03:04
honestly probably going like 50 to 60%
00:03:06
pot so I'd go maybe 450 uh and here with
00:03:10
top pair and an open-ended uh in
00:03:12
position I think I'm going to go a
00:03:13
little bit more than half pot okay so
00:03:15
450 Final Answer yeah villain check
00:03:17
raises to
00:03:19
1,500 here and now you have 1 minute
00:03:22
here walk us through your thoughts Ready
00:03:25
set go uh I I already don't love it I I
00:03:28
don't think I'm going to be folding here
00:03:29
think I'm going to be re raising here
00:03:31
I'm I'm not going to be putting in the
00:03:32
three bet so I'm just going to call see
00:03:34
a turn hopefully improve but I'm already
00:03:37
starting to feel a little uncomfortable
00:03:39
here so call yep call turn is a deuce of
00:03:42
heart he is going to check over to us
00:03:45
here and 1 minute to make your decision
00:03:48
Ready set go uh my first instinct is to
00:03:51
check back and see a river I don't think
00:03:54
he has a flush here um however he could
00:03:57
be trying to pot control with a number
00:03:59
of two pair hands uh say he had Queen
00:04:02
Jack 10 Jack something like that mostly
00:04:04
looking to check back here sea River and
00:04:07
I'm looking to pot control at this point
00:04:09
even even on the river and I'm not going
00:04:11
to be looking to go for a ton of value
00:04:14
here so I'm going to check back okay
00:04:16
cool we are going to check so now the
00:04:19
river is in offit 3 so a complete blank
00:04:22
and now the villain checks again here
00:04:25
and you have one minute Ready Set Go so
00:04:30
again my first instinct is to probably
00:04:32
check back here even sitting here with
00:04:34
um top hair and the villain is showing
00:04:37
some weakness I think they can still
00:04:38
have some strong hands and be scared of
00:04:40
the flesh scared of straits and I'm just
00:04:42
trying to think of what I'm going to get
00:04:44
value of that uh check raises us on the
00:04:47
Flop King Jack or King 10 but I think
00:04:49
it's it's pretty thin I don't know how
00:04:51
much I'm really going to get called by
00:04:53
that many weaker hands uh so I'm just
00:04:55
going to check back all right here we go
00:04:56
one minute countdown yeah uh sillin is a
00:04:58
fish and with three bet him pre flop and
00:05:01
then flop comes Queen Jack 10 and the
00:05:03
Flop is pretty good for us for this flop
00:05:06
I want to see at my entire range that
00:05:08
1/3 here as we are very deep but it's a
00:05:12
three by po so the spr is low and this
00:05:14
move to make fish uh to raise his set or
00:05:18
even they may have some slow played Ace
00:05:21
King there uh yeah so I'll like to keep
00:05:24
his weak range here and then make him
00:05:26
raise his strong range here 8 seconds
00:05:28
you got to give me a dollar amount here
00:05:30
um 300 300 all right there we go he is
00:05:32
going to check raise to 1,000 now you
00:05:37
have 1 minute give me your thoughts
00:05:39
Ready set go so what's fing range here
00:05:42
he can have straight a SK that he called
00:05:45
us pref flop and then he can have sets
00:05:47
to pair Queen 10 Jack 10 10 jacks or
00:05:51
even Queens can also have nine a suited
00:05:54
so he can have the strikes and he can
00:05:56
have the set I can't really think of his
00:05:58
bluff here because because as fish their
00:06:01
check race is very under Bluff we still
00:06:03
have a sh draw uh yeah so turn may come
00:06:08
nine or a and I can re-evaluate by
00:06:11
feelings action so I would like to
00:06:14
continue here I would like to call Co
00:06:16
all right the turn is a deuce of Hearts
00:06:19
bringing in the front door flush villain
00:06:21
is going to check to us after check
00:06:23
raising the flap you have 1 minute give
00:06:26
us your thoughts Ready set go okay okay
00:06:30
uh feeling checks the turn so I assume
00:06:32
that he got no flush here he will
00:06:34
continue Bing the turn with his HK of
00:06:37
heart 98 of heart so his range right now
00:06:40
is straight a 89 and those two pass and
00:06:43
set here I can check to realize the rer
00:06:47
or I can Bluff with my hands
00:06:49
representing the flush uh on this hand
00:06:52
because feeling is so kept right now uh
00:06:54
based on his action on turn so I would
00:06:57
like to bat here and set up a large bat
00:07:01
on the rer
00:07:03
9.6k behind I would back like 2K here
00:07:06
and a part will be
00:07:08
6.8k I'm going to shut the river if
00:07:10
there a blank come perfect 2,000 and
00:07:13
villain is going to call the river is an
00:07:16
offit 3 villain checks you've got 1
00:07:19
minute give us your thought process on
00:07:21
this River Ready set go I'm a bit regret
00:07:23
now on my sizing on the turn I should
00:07:25
have B half pot yeah like
00:07:28
1,500 on the the turn and set up a even
00:07:31
bigger size on the reiver 1.5k on the
00:07:34
turn that the pot will be
00:07:37
5,800 and we got like 8,000 left yeah so
00:07:42
for now if I have B 2,000 on the turn I
00:07:47
am still shuing because I don't think
00:07:50
his straight or SS are going to call but
00:07:53
small on the turn like half PO is a
00:07:55
better play so you were shoving the
00:07:57
river yep we go all in and he Folds 1
00:08:00
minute at 10 seconds I will give you a
00:08:02
countdown Ready set go all right well
00:08:04
this is actually quite a tricky flop
00:08:06
texture I think people don't necessarily
00:08:09
always fast play two pair when Ace King
00:08:11
is obviously there I would say king
00:08:13
queen is probably a two Street hand I
00:08:15
think probably targeting pair plus draw
00:08:17
obviously some flush draws maybe hands
00:08:19
like Ace Jack 109 stuff like that and
00:08:21
given that most of the range I'm going
00:08:22
to be targeting is going to be more in
00:08:24
elastic on flop and turn and maybe quite
00:08:26
price sensitive on the river my
00:08:28
immediate instinct here would be to pick
00:08:31
a flop and turn value sizes rather than
00:08:34
like say flop and River I think really
00:08:35
the question is what size gets them to
00:08:37
raise with straights and sets well pots
00:08:41
860 maybe 350 400 is going to be my
00:08:45
default cat size unless this player is
00:08:47
particularly sticky or I think I'm going
00:08:50
350 on this F 350 he check races to
00:08:54
1150 and now you have 1 minute Ready set
00:08:58
go uh I think check raises on
00:09:00
straightening boards where Ace King is
00:09:01
there is definitely going to be under
00:09:03
bluffed I think this is a texture where
00:09:04
they find all of the good hands to raise
00:09:06
and maybe the Bluffs are less obvious I
00:09:09
think a lot of the Bluffs are going to
00:09:10
be hands that they feel pretty
00:09:11
comfortable calling like ax of hearts
00:09:13
and maybe hands like 10 N I think with
00:09:15
our equity and this deep potentially
00:09:18
with some bluffing equity and
00:09:19
opportunities on future streets I'm
00:09:22
pretty uncomfortable bet three betting
00:09:24
this hand cuz I'm really just
00:09:25
representing Ace King and again getting
00:09:28
fish to fold hands like king9 is not my
00:09:31
favorite so I think I'm going to want
00:09:32
more information I think I'm going to
00:09:34
proceed with a call recognizing that I'm
00:09:36
probably just going to fold on blanks if
00:09:37
I face a barrel I think I'm going to
00:09:39
have pretty good bluffing opportunities
00:09:41
on certain runouts I think with this
00:09:45
hand at this depth I'm comfortable just
00:09:47
calling an evaluating turn planning to
00:09:49
Bluff versus some checks and on some
00:09:51
certain runouts going to the turn and it
00:09:53
is a deuce of hearts and now he checks 1
00:09:56
minute Ready set go okay range probably
00:10:01
going to be straights sets maybe
00:10:04
occasional two pairs since I did pick
00:10:06
350 on the Flop I don't think there's
00:10:08
going to be a ton of flushes I think
00:10:09
aggressive players who do check raise
00:10:11
flush drawers on this flop this deep are
00:10:12
going to continue with a bet again on
00:10:15
the turn so I'm expecting their range to
00:10:17
be a lot of two pair sets and straights
00:10:19
I'm going to think about turning this
00:10:20
hand into a bluff this deep I think if I
00:10:22
was shallow I'd probably just try and
00:10:24
realize My Equity with my open Ender and
00:10:27
probably check back but I think at this
00:10:28
dep I'm pretty interested in turning
00:10:30
this hand into a bluff cuz I don't think
00:10:32
I have really any Showdown value so I'm
00:10:34
trying to think about sculpting spr the
00:10:36
nice thing about being this deep in this
00:10:37
bigger game is I probably don't need a
00:10:39
giant River spr I think something around
00:10:42
pot on the river maybe even slightly
00:10:43
less given out the dollar figure I'm
00:10:45
think I'm probably going around 2500 on
00:10:49
this turn with the intention of bluffing
00:10:51
everything but a non-pairing river I
00:10:52
think I'm going about 2600 all right
00:10:55
that was right down to the wire 2.6k
00:10:57
this River it is a three and you have
00:11:00
one minute Ready set go what is their
00:11:03
range well I don't think many of The
00:11:05
Straits and sets and two pair are
00:11:07
folding on the turn my intention was to
00:11:09
get them to the river with that range
00:11:11
I've set up an spr that I would be
00:11:13
uncomfortable at in a smaller game I
00:11:15
think in a bigger game dollars just
00:11:17
speak more than big blinds don't really
00:11:20
think I have any Showdown value I had a
00:11:22
plan on the turn happily this River
00:11:24
isn't really changing anything I think
00:11:27
again I would just test my working since
00:11:29
I've got extra time I'm very confident
00:11:32
that my plan was to shove think I've
00:11:34
managed spr okay maybe I'd like a little
00:11:36
bit more back perhaps I've got a little
00:11:38
bit greedy with the get them to call
00:11:40
twice and fold in the biggest po but I
00:11:42
think the dollar amount here is enough I
00:11:44
think particularly on a board that Ace
00:11:46
King is so obviously there don't really
00:11:48
see any other viable options I don't
00:11:50
think a small bet achieves anything
00:11:52
don't think checking back I think I'm
00:11:53
just putting the money in and hoping
00:11:54
that I can get a tank fault all right
00:11:56
next hand here playing 2040 once again
00:11:58
we are 6,000 effective this time we're
00:12:00
going to open on the button to $120 with
00:12:02
ace8 offit a fish in the small blind is
00:12:05
going to call and a nitty Pro kind of a
00:12:08
tight trying player who's definitely
00:12:10
more on the conservative side is going
00:12:12
to come along in the big blind as well
00:12:13
so three ways to a flop Ace Queen n and
00:12:15
it checks over to us on the Flop we've
00:12:18
got top pair 1 minute to make our
00:12:20
decision here on the Flop Ready set go
00:12:23
here having top pair for me on three-way
00:12:27
hands or more if there's multi way I I
00:12:30
play pretty face up I typically don't do
00:12:33
a lot of airball bluffing uh with top
00:12:35
pair I don't love my Kicker here with
00:12:37
an8 but I think I can still bet I'm
00:12:40
probably not going to go too big in a
00:12:41
multi-way pot might go like 120 150 here
00:12:45
I'll go with 150 here cool now the small
00:12:48
blind folds and the big blind calls and
00:12:50
now the pot is 660 going to the turn
00:12:52
it's a three of Hearts bringing up
00:12:54
backdoor heart draws so we are heads up
00:12:56
and now the big blind checks one minute
00:12:59
Ready set go so after I make the bet on
00:13:03
the Flop and then get called uh I think
00:13:05
the villain could have a number of draws
00:13:07
here and Ace themselves depends on how
00:13:10
aggressive they are too with the number
00:13:11
of their Aces if they're someone who
00:13:13
three bats all the time with Ace Jack
00:13:15
Ace Queen 55 a lot of times that they
00:13:18
don't even do that here in the 240 they
00:13:20
should be so our Ace is decent here uh I
00:13:23
think I'm going to check back though
00:13:25
still Bluff catch if they decide to lead
00:13:28
a lot of rivers it it depends on the
00:13:29
river Okay cool so we are going to check
00:13:32
back now the river is an offit king and
00:13:35
the big blind checks once again one
00:13:37
minute Ready set go off suit King uh
00:13:41
looking to get value I mean the only
00:13:44
thing I'm really going to be getting
00:13:45
value from probably some Queen X hands
00:13:48
and only if I go super small to be
00:13:51
honest I really don't mind a check back
00:13:53
here just because I don't think I'm
00:13:54
going to be getting called by much worse
00:13:56
I guess a worse Ace is possible like a a
00:13:59
5 A6 A7 something like that A4 I'm
00:14:02
probably just going to check here or bet
00:14:03
super small but I'll probably just check
00:14:05
final decision 5 Seconds yeah check
00:14:07
check okay cool 1 minute on this flap
00:14:10
Ready set go so I think for the small
00:14:12
blind and big blind they the range at
00:14:15
like uh C connectors or uh Broadway
00:14:18
offert Ander pocket pass and that's a
00:14:22
range I don't think my hand has a three
00:14:24
stet value I would check this flop
00:14:27
because my Kicker is not that good I
00:14:29
could also B to charge the flush draw
00:14:32
I'm fine with checking here because
00:14:34
sometimes the fish on a small blind or
00:14:37
the trying rack on the back blind they
00:14:38
can have flat as some ACE Jack Ace 10
00:14:41
yeah so I want to see their action on
00:14:44
the turn before I do my batting we are
00:14:48
going to check going to the turn which
00:14:50
is a three of Hearts the small blind
00:14:53
checks big blind bets
00:14:55
250 you have 1 minute Ready Set go so
00:14:59
for the small blind I don't think
00:15:01
interested in the PO H because it checks
00:15:03
so he doesn't have something like Ace or
00:15:05
strong combo drawers for the big blind
00:15:07
he BS like two third Parts it uh is a
00:15:10
big bet as we check the Flop we gave
00:15:13
them rope he could be batting with a
00:15:16
some combo draw like a jack 10 should it
00:15:19
Jack 10 of diamond and Jack 10 of hard
00:15:22
54 of diamond five4 of heart those hands
00:15:25
so uh since I've checked the flops I
00:15:27
would like to call and if valer the
00:15:29
river so we call in small blindfolds the
00:15:33
river is a offit king the big blind is
00:15:38
going to check you have one minute Ready
00:15:42
set go I don't think he get something
00:15:46
like T Jack now because T Jack is a
00:15:49
straight now so he doesn't have a
00:15:51
straight now I like to fell about
00:15:53
targeting his King 10 combo draw on turn
00:15:58
that his a king on the river and some
00:16:01
ACE yeah and some top pair so batting
00:16:04
large here doesn't achieve that so I
00:16:06
would like to bet like 250 to 300 yeah
00:16:10
targeting his top pair weight kicker or
00:16:13
give me the exact size King 300 300 300
00:16:16
yeah perfect 1 minute Ready set go well
00:16:19
my default on these a high boards is
00:16:22
going to be quite a lot of like big b or
00:16:24
check don't think our hand really falls
00:16:26
into that I think this is a board way
00:16:28
like with the flush drawer and the queen
00:16:30
of the nine there's just like quite a
00:16:31
lot of middle pair bottom pair drawers
00:16:35
that I can Target with a smaller size I
00:16:38
might deviate away from my big battle
00:16:40
check strategy here particularly with a
00:16:42
fish in the small blind who's probably
00:16:45
going to be pretty sticky and I suspect
00:16:47
that the big blind's going to play
00:16:48
pretty straightforward I'm pretty
00:16:50
tempted to just pick a small size here I
00:16:53
think what's the parts like
00:16:55
360 might have gone even slightly bigger
00:16:58
pre I I think I'm probably looking at
00:17:00
like 125 to 150 just targeting like weer
00:17:05
asex some flush draws some gut shots
00:17:08
some straight draws Queen X yeah I think
00:17:11
my final answer is like 125 on the Flop
00:17:13
seems pretty reasonable on this texture
00:17:15
versus two weaker players all right so
00:17:17
go 125 which is quite annoying in a $10
00:17:21
uh chip sorry sorry uh 125 small
00:17:24
blindfolds big blind calls and we are
00:17:28
going to a turn which is a three of
00:17:30
hearts and the big blind checks over to
00:17:33
us you have one minute Ready set go okay
00:17:36
and what's my opponent's range pots
00:17:38
around 600 I think they probably have
00:17:40
pretty much all the weaker ax ton of
00:17:43
draws ton of pair plus drawers question
00:17:45
is what do I want to Target well those
00:17:47
drawers feel very inelastic I think if
00:17:50
they do have a hand like Queen x with a
00:17:51
flush draw or ASX of diamonds I think
00:17:56
I'm probably going to Target that with a
00:17:59
pretty big size it feels thin I may
00:18:02
barely cut myself occasionally what's
00:18:04
the biggest size that they call with
00:18:06
draws here I was trying to make Queen X
00:18:09
I'd probably be in about the 2x part I
00:18:12
think I can probably bet 1,200 here with
00:18:15
the intention of checking back a lot of
00:18:17
draw completing Rivers yeah I think I'm
00:18:19
going to bet really large here with the
00:18:21
intention of checking back I'm going to
00:18:22
go 1200 so we go 1.2k and the river is
00:18:26
an offit King he checks one minute on
00:18:30
the river Ready set go all right range
00:18:32
is a bunch of asex that I chop with I
00:18:35
think maybe one or two maybe Ace 10 off
00:18:37
that I lose to maybe a couple of
00:18:39
straights with hands like Jack 10 I
00:18:41
think trying r or wck might three bet
00:18:43
occasionally with that lot of one pair
00:18:45
King X which a flush draw Queen X 9x M
00:18:49
draws with a pair pots like 3ish K what
00:18:52
happens if I bet really small doesn't
00:18:55
sound like the player I'm inducing
00:18:56
against can I be aide that fold and
00:19:00
chops that feels pretty interesting to
00:19:02
me I think if they tank hold the turn I
00:19:05
think they have more ASX than I'd be
00:19:07
more incentivized to Bluff the river to
00:19:09
fold out chops if they quickly called
00:19:12
the turn I'm leaning towards probably
00:19:15
checking back pretty interesting to bet
00:19:17
like 3 or 400 think against a fish I
00:19:20
would do that against the tri I'm
00:19:21
probably just checking back all right
00:19:23
all right next hand here plane 2040 once
00:19:26
again we've got JJ Rex in the cuto we
00:19:28
open to 120 villain in this hand is
00:19:30
going to be an aggressive recreational
00:19:32
player in the small blind he three bets
00:19:34
to 500 and just a couple notes on this
00:19:37
player he is a thinking player he is
00:19:40
capable he is not a pro but he is quite
00:19:44
aggressive especially if you give him
00:19:46
rope he will put in a lot of money as a
00:19:49
bluff and for Value one other note on
00:19:52
this player is he is just kind of
00:19:54
playing the seven Deuce game even though
00:19:55
the table is not playing the seven Deuce
00:19:57
game he loves to Bluff with seven Deuce
00:19:59
have seen him just three bet with seven
00:20:00
Deuce off quite a bit just because he
00:20:02
thinks it's funny to show the bluff so
00:20:05
he can have some seven dece when he
00:20:07
three bets we are going to call here
00:20:09
with pocket Jack going to a flop which
00:20:12
is 1093 and now the aggressive villain
00:20:15
bets
00:20:16
$375 one minute to make your decision
00:20:19
Ready set go after the small blind bets
00:20:22
I think either calling or raising are
00:20:24
things that I'm both thinking about
00:20:26
clearly we're not folding against
00:20:27
somebody who is going to to be blasting
00:20:30
someone who could be having seven deuce
00:20:32
and bluffing quite a bit I'm just going
00:20:34
to call here the turn is an eight and it
00:20:36
brings backd door Hearts he comes out
00:20:38
and checks you have one minute Ready set
00:20:41
go checking on the turn H trying to
00:20:43
think what he's doing when he's checking
00:20:45
the turn here it's tough when we're so
00:20:47
deep like this if we bet and get raised
00:20:49
and then face a barrel on the river
00:20:51
doesn't feel great I am between things I
00:20:54
am I'm going to go for a bet I'm going
00:20:56
to bet about half pot I'm going to bet
00:20:58
uh 900 cool Final Answer yeah so we bet
00:21:02
900 and villain folds you got one minute
00:21:06
give us your thoughts Ready set go so
00:21:09
it's range now he got uh overpar of
00:21:12
course and he can also have 10 and nines
00:21:16
sets and also he can have two overcard
00:21:20
and for the size is 1/3 it doesn't
00:21:23
really represent anything it can be M
00:21:26
hand it can be Blu for our hand I think
00:21:28
raising does it no good so I will be
00:21:31
calling we are going to call and the
00:21:34
turn eight of Hearts he checks to us
00:21:37
give us your thoughts on this turn Ready
00:21:40
set go mhm we have the best 10 here I
00:21:45
think most of the time but also uh a
00:21:47
good player they would have checked
00:21:49
their overp pass here on turn the eight
00:21:52
complete a lot of strikes of us but we
00:21:54
we got Jack we have the best blockers
00:21:56
here I can check and I can bats here I
00:21:59
don't really think I need to Bluff with
00:22:01
my hand here but I want to deny some
00:22:03
high card Equity here so I would bat
00:22:06
like half put yeah 900 all right so
00:22:09
you're 900 Final Answer yep all right so
00:22:11
we bet 900 and
00:22:14
vfold one minute go I think his range is
00:22:18
probably pretty wide if you're going to
00:22:20
include 16 combos of seven Deuce I have
00:22:23
a good knowledge of Poker when there
00:22:26
aren't weird side games that maybe he's
00:22:28
playing or that the table is playing
00:22:31
like my thought process is well drilled
00:22:33
when I have a really good sense of like
00:22:35
hey a fish plays like this an aggressive
00:22:37
fish plays like this I think in this
00:22:38
spot here if he does have a bunch of
00:22:41
hands like seven Deuce raising doesn't
00:22:42
make a lot of sense because I kind of
00:22:44
want to let him have some rope and Blast
00:22:46
Off Jax is yeah slightly vulnerable
00:22:49
against some of his two overcard hands
00:22:51
but also this depth feels a little bit
00:22:54
ambitious to try and put all the money
00:22:55
in against an aggressive player I tend
00:22:57
to just give them rout I think honestly
00:22:59
I'd keep it pretty simple just call
00:23:01
evaluate turn and the turn is an eight
00:23:03
bringing back door hearts and now he
00:23:07
checks ready set go I think when fish
00:23:09
check on the turn here they just have a
00:23:12
cap range I don't think they protect
00:23:14
checking ranges here I think greed
00:23:15
drives a lot of their decisions
00:23:17
aggressive players when they have big
00:23:18
hands want to get paid I think this
00:23:20
check signals a lot of weakness against
00:23:22
a weak range I think we have the best
00:23:24
hand almost always and against
00:23:26
aggressive players I'm looking to give
00:23:27
them opportunity to make mistakes and I
00:23:29
think the play that gets probably the
00:23:32
biggest mistake is a size that looks
00:23:34
weak and I think that that would be
00:23:36
probably something around oneir part
00:23:38
giving him an opportunity if he does
00:23:40
have a hand like king queen or seven
00:23:43
Deuce right to potentially put in a big
00:23:46
race to try and blow us off what
00:23:48
perceived to be a weak hand I think
00:23:50
something around
00:23:52
5600 really just the red rag to a bull
00:23:55
and at this depth here my intention
00:23:57
would be to bet Cole I think think I
00:23:58
probably plump in for a size yeah let's
00:24:00
say 600 he check races to
00:24:03
25,000 and 1 minute here Ready set go
00:24:07
well we've got our check phas again it's
00:24:10
important to continually re-evaluate we
00:24:13
thought his range was weak when he
00:24:14
checked turn I think that obviously turn
00:24:17
check raises from most recreational
00:24:19
players are under bluffed I think here
00:24:21
just a lot of good hands would just keep
00:24:23
betting themselves and therefore I am
00:24:26
skeptical about this range being
00:24:29
particularly strong that kind of rules
00:24:30
out bet three betting just given one I
00:24:32
don't think I am actually ahead of his
00:24:35
Valley range and I think that that just
00:24:37
immediately lets him off the hook with a
00:24:38
bluff it's going to be a little bit
00:24:40
stressful on a number of different
00:24:41
Rivers but I think at this depth here I
00:24:44
have to trust my read I have to call the
00:24:46
nice thing about being in position I'm
00:24:47
going to get additional information on
00:24:49
the river information equals Edge I
00:24:51
think I'm just calling here do my best
00:24:53
to put him on a bunch of Bluffs I'm not
00:24:55
going to get too specific because again
00:24:57
I don't know where he's pulling those
00:24:59
from I think I'm just calling and
00:25:01
evaluating River now the river is a six
00:25:04
bringing a oneliner to a seven in case
00:25:06
you can't see straights like me you know
00:25:08
me now he bets 7,000 into 6790 and 1
00:25:14
minute it is on us Ready set go uh well
00:25:17
this adds a fun little wrinkle uh I
00:25:19
would say I'm immediately into my bluff
00:25:21
catching checklist which is what is
00:25:24
their range well we thought there was a
00:25:26
number of Bluffs well some of those
00:25:28
Bluffs have got there but I think a lot
00:25:29
of the value hands on the turn that we
00:25:33
would have expected a check graay from
00:25:35
don't love this card so I think he's
00:25:37
either got there on the river or was
00:25:38
bluffing the question is is he over or
00:25:41
under bluffing that's really where the
00:25:42
money is if I can recognize as a spot
00:25:44
that is over bluffed I have an easy call
00:25:46
with any Bluff catcher if I think he's
00:25:48
under bluffing think then obviously this
00:25:50
is going to be an easy fold I don't
00:25:52
think raising is going to make a ton of
00:25:54
sense with this amount of Stack depth
00:25:55
behind I think we really have only two
00:25:57
options in front of us I think a lot of
00:26:00
the time people do just keep battling
00:26:02
with seven High I think this is someone
00:26:04
who saw weakness on the turn and went
00:26:06
for it I think I am putting the money in
00:26:09
here with the phrase show me something
00:26:10
good and we call and he shows a screen
00:26:13
huzzah all right last hand here we are
00:26:15
playing 1020 an open king queen offit on
00:26:18
the button to $60 a fish in the small
00:26:21
blind calls and the main villain in the
00:26:22
hand is going to be an old man coffee
00:26:24
here in the big blind he is going to
00:26:26
call as well couple notes on this player
00:26:28
is very tight does not put money in
00:26:31
unless he has it is capable of folding
00:26:34
uh some relatively strong hands though
00:26:36
but this guy has not put money in as a
00:26:39
bluff since
00:26:40
1964 so he is going to call three ways
00:26:43
to a flop which comes king queen 7 so we
00:26:45
flop top two it checks over to us on the
00:26:47
button and first decision Point here you
00:26:50
have 1 minute to make your decision
00:26:51
Ready set go so for me there are kind of
00:26:56
multiple things at play here again again
00:26:58
because we're multi-way i t typically
00:27:00
will go smaller however this board
00:27:03
there's going to be a lot of draws like
00:27:04
10 Jack Hearts um number of gut shots so
00:27:08
I am going to size up a little bit so
00:27:10
size down a little bit because it's
00:27:12
multi-way uh and then size up a little
00:27:14
bit because the board is connected here
00:27:16
there's a lot of Jaws so I'm going to go
00:27:18
uh about half pot I'm going to go uh 90
00:27:20
or exactly half pot you go 90 and both
00:27:23
players call the turn now is a deuce of
00:27:25
Hearts bringing in the front door flush
00:27:27
and now the small blind and big blind
00:27:29
both check to us again 1 minute Ready
00:27:31
set go I really don't like when main
00:27:34
draws come in when I get called uh in
00:27:37
multiple spots by people my first
00:27:39
instinct is is to check back here um and
00:27:42
evaluate a river where we either call
00:27:44
possibly fold or see what happens yeah
00:27:47
so I I believe I'm going to be checking
00:27:49
here the thing is sometimes small blind
00:27:51
or big blind would lead however with one
00:27:53
street to come they're they're not
00:27:54
guaranteed to lead here with their
00:27:56
fleshes so um I'm just going to check
00:27:58
back perfect now the river is an offit
00:28:01
two and both players check to us again
00:28:05
here on this River one minute Ready set
00:28:07
go two on the river pairs the board I I
00:28:10
don't expect that either player has a
00:28:12
two here now I am thinking I can get
00:28:15
value against a king um I'm trying to
00:28:18
think how big I want to go my instinct
00:28:20
to not go super big to get value from
00:28:23
just a king who just is a little bit
00:28:25
stubborn um so I'm probably going to go
00:28:28
like a third pot like 150 here 150 small
00:28:32
blind folds and the big blind check
00:28:35
raises
00:28:36
550 and now it is back to US 1 minute
00:28:40
Ready set go so getting check raised on
00:28:42
the river doesn't feel good um it really
00:28:45
is going to be player dependent uh
00:28:48
against some people I would call against
00:28:49
some people I would fold against an old
00:28:52
man I've been guilty of this betting
00:28:54
with a set when someone has a straight
00:28:56
and gets raised and I just know he has
00:28:58
the straight and I get canned because of
00:29:00
it uh I've I've been uh I've been on
00:29:02
both ends where I've folded this kind of
00:29:04
hand and been right also been wrong
00:29:07
called where I've been mostly wrong I
00:29:09
don't know 10 seconds against the old
00:29:12
man I'm just going to fold you have 1
00:29:14
minute Ready set go uh we hit a we got a
00:29:18
pretty good flop a lot of six draw out
00:29:22
there but we also blocked top pair and
00:29:24
the second pair so I would like to B how
00:29:28
pot here keeping all those flush draws
00:29:31
pass 7x Queen X KX here if I'm betting
00:29:35
like two3 I think queens and Sevens
00:29:38
Queens may not be folding but sevens are
00:29:40
definitely folding so I'll bet 100 with
00:29:43
my head we are going to bet 100 and both
00:29:47
players call turn and it's a two of
00:29:49
Hearts bringing in the front door flush
00:29:52
and both players check it over to US 1
00:29:54
minute Ready set go yeah flush came on
00:29:58
on the turn so uh for the OMC I don't
00:30:01
think he is leading with his flush show
00:30:04
so the small blind and the big blind
00:30:06
they can both possibly have flush and so
00:30:11
for more information I would check this
00:30:13
turn to evaluate the river by their
00:30:17
sizing on the river as you mentioned the
00:30:19
big blind is a native player uh who will
00:30:21
put a lot of money when he got a big big
00:30:24
hand so maybe when he BS more I can call
00:30:29
with my hand but when it that big I can
00:30:31
fold the river is an offsuit deuce and
00:30:34
the small blind checks and the big blind
00:30:36
checks and it is on us here on this
00:30:39
River 1 minute Ready set go H now I
00:30:43
would like to fa a little B here
00:30:45
targeting Queen X that makes a two pair
00:30:49
as well in the mind but I can't do so
00:30:51
big since the flush out there they they
00:30:54
may be afraid of the flush there so I'll
00:30:57
go I'll go 400 yeah TI and King X and
00:31:01
queen X non-believing Queen X so we are
00:31:03
going to go 400 small blind folds big
00:31:08
blind check raises 1,00 here you have 1
00:31:11
minute Ready set go first his range I
00:31:14
don't think he got set there he can only
00:31:18
have sevens on the floor but since he
00:31:20
didn't check R so I don't think he have
00:31:22
set so he can't have Full House Full
00:31:25
House on this board so yeah he has flush
00:31:28
here uh so the question is are we dip
00:31:31
enough to Bluff here will he fold when
00:31:34
we shove I think for an OMC he would
00:31:37
probably fold his flush and checking the
00:31:40
set makes a lot of sense on the turn for
00:31:42
us yeah so I'll turn my two pair into a
00:31:46
bluff and I'll go all in 1 minute Ready
00:31:48
set go two weak players in the blinds I
00:31:52
I am sizing up on a lot of King High
00:31:54
boards I think it's pretty hard to get
00:31:56
people to call with with weaker pairs I
00:31:59
think those flush draws are in elastic I
00:32:01
think King X is in elastic I think Jack
00:32:03
10 is in elastic my instinct on a board
00:32:06
like this would be to size up probably
00:32:09
somewhere in the $120 to $150 range we
00:32:13
pretty deep for 1020 here with two
00:32:16
players I think I'd probably just be
00:32:17
betting 120 not worrying about having
00:32:21
them fold pocket Pairs and 7x just
00:32:23
trying to go for gold against the open
00:32:26
Enders flush drawers King portion of
00:32:28
range I think Queen X probably sticks
00:32:30
around for 120 I just bet 120 here and
00:32:32
keep it simple so we go 120 both players
00:32:35
call going to a turn two of hearts and
00:32:39
now it checks to US 1 minute Ready set
00:32:41
go not my favorite especially against
00:32:44
two players ranges uh obviously there
00:32:46
can be plenty of King X and some draws
00:32:48
but obviously the big blind once he
00:32:51
overalls if he really is the OMC of om
00:32:53
C's is going to probably have a range
00:32:56
that looks like King X and flush draws
00:33:00
and obviously we beat the kingx but are
00:33:03
we getting three streets is the question
00:33:05
now against most players I would say yes
00:33:08
but against your 75-year-old OMC perhaps
00:33:12
we have a two Street hand and when I
00:33:14
have two streets hands I want to get as
00:33:16
much clarity about their range and
00:33:17
playing in position if I check back a
00:33:19
huge River bet from him it's just a
00:33:21
flush and I have a very easy fault and
00:33:24
if they check the river to me I have a
00:33:25
lot of clarity I can go for Value I
00:33:27
think this feels close to me between
00:33:30
betting myself and checking back I think
00:33:32
with this profile I think a check works
00:33:34
pretty well so we check River it's a
00:33:36
deuce now they both check again here 1
00:33:39
minute Ready set go pretty good River
00:33:42
obviously now they don't have quote
00:33:44
unquote kicker problems with their kingx
00:33:46
portion of range I think I have a very
00:33:48
clear value bet here targeting kingx I
00:33:51
think the number of flushes in range has
00:33:53
been significantly diminished in this
00:33:56
spot here the question is is what size
00:33:58
does King X call here there really are
00:34:02
two options here I think we could get a
00:34:04
little bit greedier with something maybe
00:34:06
around 350 400 but with the flush draw
00:34:09
coming in really the question is what
00:34:11
size would I bet to make king9 fold
00:34:14
probably multi-way here with uh just a
00:34:17
little bit more fold Equity probably
00:34:19
something like 400 maybe if I'm trying
00:34:22
to capture value from every King X from
00:34:24
an OMC and a fish probably something
00:34:27
about 250 feels like a pretty good size
00:34:30
for me on the River where I think King X
00:34:32
just flicks in the call 250 yeah small
00:34:34
blind folds big blind 875 on US 1 minute
00:34:39
Ready set go well obviously he's finding
00:34:41
a ton of Bluffs omcs are known for check
00:34:44
Rays bluffing the river at high
00:34:46
frequencies I think this is a player who
00:34:48
has got rather proudly uh trapped us
00:34:52
with his flushes I think it's pretty
00:34:54
hard to have many boats in this spot
00:34:56
here so the question is is do I want to
00:34:59
fold against someone who is under
00:35:00
bluffing with my bluff catcher or do I
00:35:02
have a second option what happens if I
00:35:06
bet three bet here the question I would
00:35:08
ask myself if I was here with however I
00:35:11
got here with Queens would I against a
00:35:13
flush put all the money in for value and
00:35:16
I think the answer is a pretty clear no
00:35:18
I think MC's Pride themselves on being
00:35:20
able to fold anything but the nuts and
00:35:23
we block a lot of the nuts with king
00:35:26
queen I think this is a spot where my
00:35:28
preferences would be call is the worst
00:35:31
then fold I think I like a bet three bet
00:35:33
all in here to maximize fold Equity
00:35:35
against the flush all in all right so
00:35:37
conclusions here Branson our lowex Pro
00:35:39
he played solid he didn't really make
00:35:41
any big blunders he found a positive EV
00:35:44
line in pretty much every hand he just
00:35:47
maybe didn't always find the highest EV
00:35:49
line Tommy our midsts Pro found a couple
00:35:52
of the more creative lines found a
00:35:54
higher EV line than Branson in a couple
00:35:57
of of the hands but didn't find the
00:35:59
highest EV line in every hand and
00:36:01
finally gethin our high stakes Pro found
00:36:03
pretty much the most creative highest EV
00:36:06
line in every single hand in the first
00:36:09
hand here after calling the Flop check
00:36:11
rise Branson just kind of took his
00:36:13
Showdown value here on the turn and
00:36:15
river and checked back did not find the
00:36:18
creative line where we kind of turn this
00:36:20
one into a bluff because really once his
00:36:21
flushing card comes in on the turn after
00:36:23
villain check raises the Flop and then
00:36:24
checks the turn we just don't really
00:36:26
have much Showdown value even though we
00:36:28
have top pair here so Branson just took
00:36:29
his Showdown value checked back the turn
00:36:32
and checked back the river whereas Tommy
00:36:34
on this turn elected to start turning
00:36:36
his hand into a bluff right away chose a
00:36:38
relatively big size to get called by two
00:36:40
pair sets and Straits he left himself
00:36:42
behind that big chunky overb on the
00:36:44
river and got the fold here from two
00:36:47
pair gin played the same line as Tommy
00:36:49
but chose a slightly bigger size on the
00:36:50
Flop just realizing on this wet Dynamic
00:36:52
board villains will Fast play even to a
00:36:54
slightly bigger size so he went a little
00:36:56
bit bigger on the Flop villain check r a
00:36:57
little bit bigger gethin called and now
00:36:59
here on the turn when villain checked
00:37:00
gethin chose an even bigger size 2600
00:37:03
versus Tommy's 2000 just realizing that
00:37:06
because the absolute dollar amount is so
00:37:08
big he didn't necessarily need to leave
00:37:10
himself a big boy overb behind on the
00:37:12
river because 6800 is a lot of dollars
00:37:15
and absolute dollar size starts to
00:37:17
matter more than the relative size of
00:37:19
the pot so on top of finding the bluff
00:37:21
like Tommy did here Gan found a slightly
00:37:24
bigger size on the Flop and a slightly
00:37:25
bigger size on the turn so gin actually
00:37:27
got more money in the pot before he made
00:37:30
the villain fold all right on this
00:37:32
second hand here Branson seet on the
00:37:35
Flop and then on the turn and River he
00:37:38
just checked back he ended up chopping
00:37:39
with Ace five of diamonds here so he got
00:37:42
in one street of value where he was
00:37:44
ahead Tommy took a little bit of a
00:37:46
different line he actually elected to
00:37:48
check back this flop here he called on
00:37:51
the turn and then on the river which was
00:37:53
a king Tommy correctly deduced that top
00:37:56
pair is pretty much always going to be
00:37:58
good here that villain would just always
00:37:59
come out and bet two pair or a set or a
00:38:01
straight on the river so Tommy actually
00:38:03
went for thin value on the river and
00:38:05
although he ended up chopping the pot
00:38:07
Tommy a lot of the times would get two
00:38:09
streets in this spot instead of one
00:38:11
finally GTH here also went for value on
00:38:13
the Flop just like Branson and he got
00:38:15
called and then on this turn which
00:38:17
brought in quite a lot of draws GTH
00:38:19
deduced that his opponent is just going
00:38:21
to have a lot of hands that are in
00:38:23
elastic here acex of diamonds Queen X of
00:38:25
Hearts 9x of Hearts combo draw Etc so
00:38:28
just lots of hands here that his
00:38:29
opponent is just not folding so gin went
00:38:31
super thin on this turn and actually 2x
00:38:34
potted this turn with top pair weak
00:38:36
kicker got called by worse and then on
00:38:38
the river it went check check of course
00:38:40
he Chopped with a five of diamonds as
00:38:42
well here Gan found a bunch of extra EV
00:38:45
in this hand that our low stakes and
00:38:46
mid-stakes Pros did not in this pocket
00:38:48
Jack's hand both Branson and Tommy
00:38:50
played the same way they called The Flop
00:38:52
here and then when it checked to them on
00:38:54
the turn both of them used a half pot
00:38:56
size which is starting to be a pretty
00:38:57
big size for the game $900 here and I
00:39:01
had written in the contingencies here
00:39:02
that if we bet greater than $800 on the
00:39:04
turn that villain will just fold that he
00:39:06
won't start turning ridiculous hands
00:39:08
into a bluff here because we don't give
00:39:10
him rope if we take a big size on the
00:39:12
turn whereas gethin our high stakes Pro
00:39:14
correctly deduced here on the turn that
00:39:16
our opponent had a weak range after
00:39:18
betting the Flop small and then checking
00:39:20
the turn and if he bets small he could
00:39:22
either entice our aggressive wreck
00:39:24
opponent to float with overcards or even
00:39:27
better spaz and start turning some hands
00:39:29
into Bluffs so gin chose a very small
00:39:32
size here oneir pot here on the turn to
00:39:34
induce and the villain ended up check
00:39:36
raising and then over bet bluffing on
00:39:38
the river Gan snapped it off and our
00:39:40
opponent had Ace Queen offit finally in
00:39:43
this king queen hand with top two pair
00:39:46
Branson went for value on the Flop check
00:39:48
back the turn when the flush came in
00:39:49
then when it checked to him on the river
00:39:51
he chose a small size here for Value
00:39:53
just targeting King X and when the OMC
00:39:56
raised he found a fold here which is
00:39:58
very reasonable Tommy and gethin both
00:40:00
got to the river in the same way as
00:40:01
Branson but when they bet the river and
00:40:04
got raised here they just deduced that
00:40:06
the OMC villain here would just almost
00:40:08
never have a boat and they bet on the
00:40:11
fact that they could make this guy fold
00:40:13
a king high or Ace High flush draw for
00:40:15
all of the money they could incredibly
00:40:17
rep a hand like pocket kings pocket
00:40:20
Queens pocket sevens here that would
00:40:21
play this way all of the time so they
00:40:23
elected to turn their hand into a bluff
00:40:26
to get the villain to to fold the ace
00:40:28
high and King High flushes all right
00:40:30
guys hopefully this video was
00:40:31
Illuminating getting inside the head and
00:40:33
seeing the thought process of a low
00:40:34
stakes mid-stakes and high stakes Pro
00:40:37
hopefully this video helped you level up
00:40:39
your game and turn into the biggest boy
00:40:41
possible thank you guys and have a
00:40:43
gentle day
