  1. Idk if you read this but I found you one week ago and I saw all the vídeos i cant say how grateful I am that you are giving advices free for player who love learning. So im REALLY THANKFULL

  2. When asked the bottom of the range question AQ was exactly what I would think. Just don't see how calling with 99 like the villiian did is every profitable sure BB range is wide but as played Q and 10 have to be in his range a lot as played even without decent kicker or as suited gapper

  3. The traditional way of thinking is, that when the flop went check-check, we cant rely on the player in position betting the turn, so we should just lead out rather than looking for the check-raise. But just as the preflop raiser weaken his range and induce some light betting, when he check behind flop, so does the preflop defender, when he check again on the turn after facing a check-back on the flop.

    So especially on a turn like this, where new draws developed, and a lot of hands picked up equity, I think, we can expect a fair amount of delayed C-betting to take place, if we check again as Hero. So I like this play from a balance perspective. A lot of the time, when we check the turn, we will have a marginal hand of some sort. And the risk of a delayed C-bet inducing a check-raise give people incentive to check back more often, which those hands want.

  4. Wouldn’t nines be better as a raise on the river as a bluff, rather than a call?
