Zoom & Destroy

That AT hand I'd sigh snap fold.

The 89dd hand

Maritsula can speak for himself, but this what I think.

The 89dd blocks the 88 set combos, and he doesn't have KK. So he really only reps some 22 and flush draws. I think I'd make the raise a little bigger tho, maybe like $31 or $32. If he ships it, would you call? I guess we could run it through pokerstove, I think it would be close

The river call looks fine to me.

KK would 3 bet pre
22, 88 and club draws that picked up equity I'd expect to bet the turn.
So that really only leaves some busted flush draws taking a stab in what looks to me a pretty bad spot.

89 was really well played imo

There is not a better hand to 3bet the flop!

River is pretty lol from him

AT hand i will post my thoughts later tonight!

BTN: $36.42 (36.4 bb)
SB: $100 (100 bb)
BB: $52.58 (52.6 bb)
UTG: $100 (100 bb)
MP: $42.62 (42.6 bb)
Hero (CO): $100 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T A
2 folds, Hero raises to $2.50, BTN folds, SB calls $2, BB folds

Flop: ($6) 4 3 T (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $4, SB calls $4

Turn: ($14) 7 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $9, SB calls $9

River: ($32) 6 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $21, SB raises to $84.50 and is all-in

Ok about this hand.

River decision is tough but they key info is that he is a reg and he cold calls on the SB.

This information is vital as it removes most of his value range. It very unlikely that he has 33 44 56 76 now.

Only credible hand that he can have is 1c TT and 3c 77. Thats its basically, 4 combos.

I dont really need to call with AT on the river as I will have so many better hands, sets, straights you name it.

But i really thought he was turning a made hand into a bluff in that spot (which is quite good to be honest, who xc xc xshoves as a bluff to begin with!)

So after going through the hand for a few seconds, I made the call and he showed 88

no no no !

3bet calling it off vs complete unknown will be very very bad:P

You are spot on with your analysis though

By making it a bit smaller than usual I give a better price for my "bluff" as it needs to work less often

Just finished an hour session ( 2 x 30 minutes)

It went really good

This was the second hand of the session

Nice one, really like your thought process, you should become a coach!

NH M.

1st.I ve seen regs ccalling 67s in this spot.

But agree not to many 6x,and I think in this spot his range is more decent pp'airs and hands like KQ,AQ,AJs
But is V dependent,I think 3b stat will give u the most from this spot,If he has a calling range without fish in bb obv Villain 3b range will be polarized(67s is there),if he def by 3b only prob will do that with a merge range...

2nd...how aggro is Villain OTR? WWSF stat?

Not beeing result oriented make me say that without a lot of info,I would chck back OTR (like a scared )
But agree with ure thinking process !!!
Nice piece of cake...

(as a side note,without aggro 3 barelling dinamycs I expect villain to x/r turn more often with a value hand)
So OTR...hmm prob calling a take a note

Keep them comming!

Hand w KK...
Where do you find guys that flat QTs in UTG vs 3b???
:f_p: :f_p: :f_p:

Gl buddy!!!

good luck sir.
been following your blog for a while.

This is epic

I was on the phone talking with my gf and was grinding at the same time. OTR I was contemplating raising smaller than shoving but I decided to shove anyways.

When he turned the nut flush I was like, "damn what a cooler. GG!"

But the chips went my way and I was puzzled!

After I saw the replay I was on the floor laughing my ass off
