1. Agreed with Hero's line all the way through here. You absolutely have to call here since it's so hard for villain to have a 6. The one thing I will say is that there needs to be more information on what type of player the villain is in these videos. That information is so vital in determining the best line to take. For instance in this hand, if villain is a solid good thinking reg. I would almost certainly check back turn since it would be very hard to get 3 streets from a one pair type hand here. (Maybe QQ would be the only one and thats not a given) On the other hand, if it's more of a recreational/station type of player then its bet, bet, bet..

2. Bart's reaction to "my friend said he would fold" 😂😂😂

3. That’s just a gross run out

4. Stop asking that friend for advice lol

5. I think, Hero played the hand fine line wise, but the preflop 3-bet need to be bigger. 70 against a 25 open is less than 3X, and that simply gives the Villain to good a price to come along with a wide variety of speculative hands like for instance baby pairs. So I would go to at least 80 here.

   Those 10$ might seem insignificant, and maybe Hero would still have lost his stack on this exact runout. However getting that bigger 3-bet in preflop would also allow Hero to bet bigger on the flop and turn. So he would cut down on Villains implied odds and win more, when Villain dont get there on the river on his draw.

   Also if there is a difference in continuance frequency between 70 and 80, then you want to go for the larger size and generate more folds. It might sound crazy, when we have aces and are way ahead of everything. But first we dont always have aces, when we 3-bet, and we dont want to pick one size with aces and another size with all our other hands.

   And second even with aces, we dont particularly want to go postflop against hands like baby pairs, because it puts us in a massive reverse implied odds situation. So if 80 rather than 70 preflop would have gotten him to actually fold his baby pairs, then we really want to go for the larger size even with aces.

   As played one cant even blame him for coming along and sucking out on us, because we gave him a great price on his setmine preflop. That he got us on this weird 4-straight runout is an outlier and kind of whatever, but he also gets us on J, 6, 4 flop, which is a lot less obvious and a lot more common.

6. You really can't fear sets too much in this kind of situation…much more likely he would have AJ, KJ, and I don't think he is calling a 3-bet with 44 or 55… The only hand I'd be worrying about is JJ, but you can't slow down because of just 3 combinations.

   66 is surprising…villain sounds kind of loose and fishy to me, really.

7. Awesome bro

8. Lol the guy goes “since it’s such a dry board he’s continuing with all reasonable pairs then when the turn comes he says he didn’t like the 3 and that he was continuing with only sets lol. Wut? Lol

9. I could sometimes put V on a 6 if we were playing higher stakes… But it just dont seem right to fold AAs here lol
