@@edwardkain5006 you can flat queens a certain percentage of the time. That river is a 100% call live, tough call online. People tend to overplay AK live, so it’s more like you lose to 6 AA, 6 KK, 3 JJ, and beat 12 AJ and another 50-70% of the AK that plays that way, which is another 6-8 combos, plus random sprinkled bluffs. The way you rationalize the slow play call with QQ is if they had AA or KK and you had 4b, the money would have went in anyways, you just got to see a good runout with his bluffs still in the hand. So it’s a call

That's some run good there! Tough fold on those QQ, I thought you would snap call and lose but you thought thru it and found the fold button. Hindsight is always 20/20, probably a good fold in the long run. Keep up the hard work, appreciate you man!

Great vlog. The fold with QQ is fine. It's so rare that an opponent shows up with a bluff in that spot that, even one one does, it is still a spot you can't overfold (unless you are against an absolute crusher).

I don't think you played the QQ hand poorly. Your opponent just played it very well. He properly constructed your range and put you in a horrid spot. You just get shown AA, KK and JJ so often there. Nice vlog, brother.

The QQ hand smelled like a bluff all the way. I think you were right with your first assessment. If he had AA, KK, JJ he would've known he was way ahead and would've tried to let you catch up. Think long - think wrong. Great vid like always 👌

I actually really liked your play in this video. I feel like some of your analysis after is a little off though, especially on that queens into ace 5 hand. I think you made a perfect hold there considering the table dynamics and how well your opponent played the bluff. The range you set him up on (which made complete sense) made folding your hand profitable in the long run. Would've liked to see a raise with the queens preflop to avoid letting some of those hands get in but occasionally checking for balance is completely understandable. Felt like you made a lot more laydowns in this session that you normally wouldn't and it seems like it worked out very well for you. This was pretty disciplined for how you normally play and I was really happy to see it. Great video.

This run good was like when he was here at Maryland Live and a tournament he played in and was on a Sun run there as well. Fun video to watch !

Nice bounce back bro no worries on the qq hand

Good work and well played! Not that it matters, but I would have folded QQ there as well. Sometimes it just makes sense to fold a monster when faced with that amount of sheer aggression. It wasn't anywhere close to the nuts, so might as well not get greedy and protect your stack, especially when you feel confident that you will find other spots.

Very entertaining session, good fold overall on the QQ hand.

Nice session, bro. Always entertaining.

QQ in the button is a easy raise preflop to avoid the exact situation. The thing is by 3 betting the preflop you take the lead or you can fold then and there if he reraise you further. It is super hard to call 6K there basically all your winnings for the session. But if you have raised pre, the hand would have played out differently.

Great playing;I enjoy your videos.

Sessions like these are the results of all the painful hrs already paid. Great video also. Thanks

I had a similar hand played it the same exact way and when I showed the people next to me they asked my reason behind folding and I had the same response.. basically I didn’t really need to win that hand I was already up big and I lived to see another hand.. which was aces and tripled up so it works out

Dealer is wearing a Frank Mueller Crazy Time “jump hour” watch. Very cool watch!!!

I get wanting to fold the QQ hand. Ive seen you be up doing so well an lose it all so quickly. Nothing wrong with playing safe some times

I can understand folding that Q's hand. That's the unfortunate side effect of not raising preflop. I actually put the villain on AJ there, but could have easily been As, Ks, middle/bottom set or even pocket 6's for the one card straight. A lot of hands that realistically have you beat on the runout.

Now that is an OUTSTANDING RUN GOOD!!! Those Q's even though are/could be a tough call make really should've been an easy one to make. What made it so hard is the longer you think on it the easier it is to talk yourself out of making the call which is exactly what you did there. Remember how the ole saying goes: think long, think wrong. You also seemed (key word here is SEEMED) to do a no, no because you were so far up in chips, remember don't be counting those chips while you're still at the table playing, they're just chips and nothing more, they don't turn into any kind of profits or losses until you leave the table. Here are my theories: Plan for the worst and hope for the best i.e., never play more than what you can afford to lose. Go in knowing you're going to win, a winning attitude is more important than you will know to be successful, well that and some lady luck on your side. Don't let other players at the table luck and attitudes get to you, just keep a clam cool head about you and don't allow yourself to go on tilt. Remember you're going to have your good nights and your bad ones, enjoy the good ones while you can and ride that horse till it bucks you off and when it does get back up on him and ride it again. Don't let the bad nights get to you but use them as a learning experience. One last point a good attitude to go with that winning one will take you a long way in this game, agreed? You have a good, safe and blessed day out there today and good luck at those tables!!!

I was doing some studying and I guess a gto strategy is turning your mid to low pairs into bluffs on the river with 1.5x to 2x pot size raises. it just so happened you ran into this exact situation the day after I see this.

I’m going to have my first Vegas game in June, super low stakes but I am fantasizing about that type of a run good

I ran into a similar hand with Ks with a club. The dude has Kh6h suited. The community cards have a possible flush draw out there. Community cards were Jc5c8h7c9d. I was first in and OP, then bet on flop, he called both. Checked the turn, he semi bluffed turn and river, hitting straight at river. I paid him out.

I'm going to have to check out this Resort World room the next time I'm in town. I need to check out their speakeasy, so drinks and poker here I come!

I never would have thought you would fold those QQs

Respect to the 20 tip at the end 👌

Nice session! Obviously gonna comment about the QQ hand like everyone else lol his 3 bet, is definitely protection based, seeing as he’s out of position, a 4bet from you prolly gets a fold, more likely a call from him since after seeing that hand he was committed regardless. Anyhow, flip comes. His KK dominate and so do his AA. So a call and float is fine. (Assuming he has those hands.) now, 66s, could definitely play that hand EXACTLY how he played it. Turn improves him to ours and is basically a brick to you. Him betting, doesn’t really change much, except a raise on turn puts him in a spot I guess. Also, sees where you’re at in the hand. River comes. He bet again obviously, and now it’s like, ok. Aggressive throughout the entire hand? KK, AAs all seem accurate reads here, JJs as well. Throw in those 66s, because he 3bet pre flop. Not including, every set he hit on flop, turn, river. All VIABLE hands he could have. You block nothing but a diamond, which doesn’t make sense because A or K of diamonds has you. Over bets river there.. so it smells like trips.. 85% of the time. Granted, how many 66s does he really have? It’s honestly a tough spot. Myself, probably would have called. But then again, I don’t have a 15-20k stack in front of me to piss away 🤣🤣 weird hand, awesome session bud!

Good content. Keep up the good work

Ethan, on the QQ hand, if there is table talk between you & another opponent, please let us hear that audio...it makes for a great vlog. Also, if your thinking about "locking up profit" on that QQ hand, than you aren't correctly making decisions. There's no counting the $$ til the dealings done, this is a decision based game and $$ shouldn't be a factor in your decision making process, if it does become a focal point...cash out. Also, please always keep the outro song after you sign off. Thank you. GG.

You were right, the QQ hand had way more value than bluffs. It's a fold. Yep, he had A5, still a good fold.

I like your logic, before he gave us his thoughts on why it made sense to fold I was calling. He was building the pot, building the pot, building the pot until the pot got too big. Easy for me to say now but in my opinion that river bet was too big to be a value bet that was a bet made to make your opponent fold, in other words a bluff. Losing to AA or KK in that position which is essentially what he was repping is ok. If the guy had JJ he wouldnt have been half as aggressive. Im still learning how to play but im slowly getting it.

QQ/A5 I call or maybe jam also! You got all the sets and straights. AA and KK would be really scared at the river...and can't see 66 and 77 rerising there...JJ or nothing (and he be scared too)

Great action!

Not a bad fold. You did lose to a combination of hands. Take the win!

sometimes i think when you lose value to people folding your betting pot size bets or over pot each time which maybe tough at times.

Great video and good fold. Next time you'll get his chips.

It was that first bluff that propelled you to a hot run.

You said it best, you ran scared with QQ. I can’t blame you, if I was up as much, I prolly would have folded as well. With the run good, tough call. This guy seemed to have you pegged at the table also, and he purposely bet all three streets with his bluff. Anyway, I thoroughly love the vlog and hope to see you in June when we come to Vegas.

You should come to Detroit and play. We have good action here plus I could use a few pointers.

Never regret your decisions. There were too many cards resulting in a loss. I sometimes go into the woulda coulda shoulda and then it affects future thinking. Stay firm, stay clear. When it is over, forget about it. Remember our casinos never close. There is always another game somewhere. Happy you came out on the plus side!

small pocket pair would call to set mine and induce calls from the 2 limpers behind him to build pot. The 3 bet is either a premium AA-AK-KK, or marginal hands like suited connectors to squeeze.

I agree that he folding was the right think , I don’t agree that playing scared and folding to just hold on to your wiinnings is a good reason to fold.

The Queens are probably a snap call til you overthink it. Your logic when thinking about the hand makes complete sense tho. If I don't go with instinct and snap call I'm for sure talking myself into the fold. Making a big losing call when running good and winning a lot is so deflating also. You call and lose, then all you think about is how you just screwed up a great session. Granted making the wrong fold also sucks, but its better than making the wrong call.
