True. And the constant “check call” by Hero screams that he’s trying to draw cheaply. When neither that straight not the flush get there by the river, he has to be willing to 3-barrel as he has no show down value. That’s said, it’s easy to see that now after we know the result. Without any read on Villain as a maniac the Hero can only assign a PORTION of villains hands as bluffs by the river. Sometimes, your gonna get bluffed. In fact, if you are not getting bluffed on occasion you are calling too often. Hero had good instincts by wanting to check-raise. It was his timing that was off. He should have done it on the flop. Villain would have had a hard time calling with no equity and instead would have had to make a decision whether to 4 bet jam as a bluff - which would be a mistake based on these stack sizes because Hero would be getting decent odds to call with 2 cards left to come.

I think the right play in this hand would be to check raise the flop for a couple of reasons - button bets could be anything; you can raise out strong hands of the original raiser; you’re drawing to the nut flush; and you can take the hand down without even making a flush.

Flatting is fine, you don't have to turn every draw into a bluff, you have no idea whether or not the pfr is trying to CR a set or AQ or check folding at this point in the hand, also what are you repping? A8, 88 only, can't bluff 15 flush draws and JT, should be check calling allot of draws here, NFD and pair has good properties to put it in the passive range, a bit of sdv and dominating other draws. Nothing wrong with going XC,XC,XF with the worst hand sometimes. Also stop thinking in terms of "right way to play this hand", poker is a series of hands not a hand in a vacuum, you need to come up with an overall strategy for all of your hands, every hand is just a piece of a larger puzzle, raising this hand, 88, A8 and JT might be your strategy and that would be tough to counter but you could also replace this hand with T9◇ and use this hand as a call, as long as your overall strategy is well thought out you'll be a tough opponent, but start bluffing too much or too little and you'll be easy to play against.

@@PokerOCD How is pair+nfd a bluff? It's got at least 40% equity against practically any holding, will often be flipping with the "best" hand, and is a hand you are perfectly happy to take down the pot immediately OR play it to showdown. This doesn't even factor into a GTO value-to-bluff ratio because it's a perfect semi-bluff hand. And why not check-call? Because you're out of position, and 75% of the time the turn will not help you, putting you in a shitty unprofitable position. You need the betting lead with this kind of hand from OOP.

“Look at it from his (villain’s) perspective.” Not doing this more is Bart’s only flaw. He does it, but mot enough. Bart gives the best poker analysis on KZread. Just making a nitty, but valid point.

Stopped at 18:30. I find this hand very interesting because the the Ad on the River is the BEST A for your hand, as it means villain can't have AdXd, which before the river would have been a significant part of villain's range. So, what A combo can villain have? AcX AsX AcAs. AcQc, AsQs are obvious and beat you, but any other A combination is unlikely to play this way, we can remove all Ad from his hand, as it's impossible, so is trip As going to jam on this river? You could have many backdoor diamonds, Td9d, QdJd, KdQd, 6d5d. No, AcAhAd is not shoving, and AsAhAd is not shoving. So villain is shoving either a logical bluff, JhTh, Th9h, 9h8h. Turning his hand into a bluff but beating you KdQd, QdJd or bluffing with a range of hands, such as an Tx9x combo which picked up equity on the Turn but missed, and your standard random air bluff, which is EXCEEDINGLY player dependent. AA and the AQ combos beat you, so how often does villain play none suited AQ? Why it's interesting to me, is that the more often villain players off-suit AQ the more often he's likely to bluff as well, so it's an interesting dynamic. You lose to more logical combinations, but there are more air bluffs in his range. What would villain put you on? If villain can put you on a hand like Kh8h, or any 8 for that matter, villain is going to bluff on that river. I'd likely call, because you are getting great pot odds, and the Ad reduces A combos you lose to. You are going to lose the majority of the time, but I think you win enough in the long run to be EV+ -------------------- Edit, can't say I saw that exact hand in his range.

Bart I don’t agree with you on this one that bettor has to be that strong. Against the blind he can easily be betting big on turn with any ace. This bettor doesn’t have aa, Qq, most likely doesn’t have AQ, and we have an 8 to block A8 and 88. This is a great spot to check raise flop or turn. Let’s say bettor has AJ or AT doesn’t he fold on turn?

After the turn, could you put villain on QQ?

I did this the other day with 2 understand but to a preflop caller that donk bet on the flop, I read this sometimes as a draw so I went with it, 3 bet turn, shove river, he folded, I was very happy with my guess except he later turned a set against my KK so it happens

If he check raises the flop like he’s supposed to he wins the hand right there or he becomes the aggressor/bluffer instead of just check calling until he misses his draw.

Biggest mistake was being too passive on the flop bet. With his smaller stack size put the pressure on the field. We know the original raiser isn't likely to have a strong Ace and if he does you will find out with a 3 bet. The button now has to either fold or be committed to his whole stack. I just don't get the flat call on the flop.

This is a great hand. On this river, throughout the hand I put V on AdXD and some KdXd, so I’m might block bet for small to set my price to target other busted Heart/gut shot straight draws and weirdly enough, by principles alone, fold because this line isn’t bluffed at this level. For example, H calling OOP from the flop puts him on a strong calling range AND by V betting puts them on an even stronger betting range, like trips or better. So technically I fold on the river - though emotionally I might call. Simply, there are more value to bluffs here. For me to call on the river, I’d need more game flow/hand history vs the V. Considering the result, I’d wager V must have shown other weird lines that I could flick in a call _some_times. And not to be results oriented, Caller made a good, albeit very painful, fold. Edit: for me to get to the river as so, it requires a disciplined fold, which I might have on some days, might not. But I probably check jam flop or turn so I won’t get to the river as such.

There any merit to three bet squeezing with hero’s hand in the bb?

Drink everytime the caller goes "Hmm / Yeah" GL 🤣

Oh, I've seen this. At this exact place.

Instinctively, I would just shove the turn. You can get called by worse draws. The chances of him betting A9 (unless Hero is a calling station) and below is slim. So that leaves AT, AJ, maybe 1 combo of AQ and 87, 2 combos of A8, JT, J9, T9, and perhaps some bottom pair bluffs, which we beat. Jxdd/hh, T9dd/hh, and J9 dd/hh are getting the right price to call. If he folds, we fold out a hand with a lot of equity.

Seems some of these comments are results oriented, only reasonable way to bluff this draw is CR on flop with lots of equity but the PFR is deeper than the button so we're just getting it in very bad when he has AA/QQ/AQ and we pot commit ourselves.

He can have a lot of diamond draws and Ax of diamonds. As for the turn. I am not so convinced our better is strong. He has the button on a scary board and the pre flop raiser checked. He should be betting pretty wide. Even QJ is probably a bet here. The preflop raiser has waived the white flag and the other guy who cold called the raise checked. A bet on almost anything probably shows a profit. The principle of "attack the field" applies to him too! Now look at the turn.....The button had a great outcome on the flop. The BB (who may be VERY wide) called and the other 2 players with much narrower ranges, folded. What does the BB have? It seems the BB should be wide here because the button is attacking the field. Sure, the PFR might raise, but that seems remote. With 4 players and a wet board, he is far more likely to be playing in a straightforward manner So the BB should have all kinds of Aces as well as a ton of heart draws, any JT and maybe.even as little as a queen,. He might even have KhJc and similar. With this in mind, it seems like the button will bet a lot of turns but will often be weak. Isn't this exactly the kind of range you want to check raise jam with this weak made hand with a nut draw. I think the 8 is big here. It provides 5 more outs vs a stubborn Ac9c. It will, on occasion beat a lower pair. Maybe you opponent has 7h6h or 4h5h and the river comes a 4 or 5. On what is already looking like a close play, that equity boost seems really good. I guess the problem here, if there is one, is that players simply call you down too often. If so, won't they be paying off you good hands too much. So sure, medium strength made hands can check the turn, but that strategy has some pretty big flaws too, especially if you can correctly fold to any check raise on the turn. Also, this line protects you from getting bluffed out. How much is that worth? Well....on this hand....a whole lot. This probably applies in a very wide range of hands. If you have marginal showdown value, think you have fold equity, and cannot call a river bet, why not check raise if you think your opponent has a wide range and may even have an draw you currently beat. I know Bart has talked a bit about pair+flush draw hands and I think he said they are overrated and people can burn off a lot of chips on them? Can someone explain how. this is so. These hands seem like great hands to get very aggressive with, especially when opponents have weak ranges.

But if I get to the flop, I donk-lead more often than not, and check-raise most of the rest of the time. After the donk lead, I pseudo-randomize whether I play it like a coin flip I'm not afraid of, or like a set, if I get raised. As the pseudo-random factor, I apply some fuzzy logic to my image, the raiser's image, their raise size, and their stack size.

If K (or an 8) comes on the river I don't play check-fold but push All-In! My line looks so much like a busted draw that my opponent would be very tempted to call with any A!. I also don't see him having any really strong hands here (besides an aggressively played JT): AA, QQ, 88 are rarely in there (there is only one 88 and AA and QQ should have 3-bet preflop). So I lose to the occasional A8, A7, KQ and JT and win against all the Ax and the occasional 87 or K7.

That's a great play

Title should be, "Villain plays poker".

Why would this guy ever leave after getting that bluff through??? He's gonna get paid off on all his value after that

It was a fold from the start. Would have saved all his money.

large bet, out of position against 1+ players you need KTs to re raise. K8s is an easy fold

@@pot_kivach160 my point is, I'm fine with taking the pot down on the flop. I spotted the same weakness that the villain spotted, so I'm fine with taking advantage, "attacking the field," and stealing it right then. What's really calling me? Set of 8s or A8? I'm blocking that. AQ or bigger set? Unlikely, given the pre-flop action. KdJd or Jh10h? Feasible, but bring on that call. So I'm not expecting action after my check-jam, which is fine. But if I'm wrong, I have enough equity to feel hopeful with the next two streets coming. So bring on the next hand.

I see the river now lol

My first time moving up and sitting at 2/5 at the Bike I planned on being reckless my first couple hands and then nitting it up. 26o first hand I 3-bet and it folded to me. I showed. Next hand 48o I made a big raise and it folded around. Then a miracle run happened. I got dealt QQ, AA, AA, JJ, and lastly 88 in succession. Nobody gave a shit. Each one just folded around to my raise. I realized quickly I wouldn’t be the biggest nit and I went back to 2/3 scared.

The caller missed Such a great spot to check-raise flop if he's going to take this kind of line, it would be better to just fold pre.

🤪 Gambling baby!

If i gotta miss my draw on the river , im liking the A, but you're kinda stuck because if he has Q he,s liking the A for the same reason, but screw it, i like to gamble , Jam, call!

Ya bc K8 really plays poorly post flop. You can hit the best possible draw and have villain drawing dead and still manage to fold the winner. So ya fold pre.

Why would you fold to a $25 bet out of the big blind with king suited in four way action unless you are a super nit?

Caller is a total fish. Just check-raise flop and jam turn.
