  1. First! Huge fan bart thanks for all your contributions to the community i am a much better player thanks to your program

  2. Not much you can do on this hand since the villain will snap-fold just about anything. After the flop the hero probably played it OK (though you may want to bluff-bet the turn sometimes).

  3. this is literally the bottom of my opening range for 1-2 utg/+(and depending on how loose passive the game is, its just a fold), and should be yours as well. I agree with everything until we get to the river. I think a bet of 200 is in order if we hit or not(excluding pairing our hand). I'm doing this more so for balance against people i see more regularly. I think betting larger in these spots "eyes closed" will win you more money then trying to get a crying call from a hand you think is AK. Weird things always happen at this level. Just bet strong hands for value.

  4. In a game, where you open to 6X from early position and still get 2 callers, I would just fold or maybe limp this preflop. And if I did open and got this action, I would fold to the 3-bet. The issue is, that while we are 200 BB deep, because of the sizing we still end up in a 3,5 SPR pot, when we call.

    And that’s just not deep enough for a suited connector to play well, especially not out of position. And that is even the best case scenario, because if someone else wants to come along, the pot will be even more bloated.

    As played I like Heros line on the flop and turn. I don’t see much value in check-raising the flop, because when the SPR is this low, I think, Villain will always stack off his overpairs. So we only get folds from stuff like AK, which we can perhaps also bluff him off on the river, if he decide to just give up and not bet the turn.

    On the river there is not much chance to get paid. But just for the odd chance, he have something like JJ, which he played for pot control, I would just shove here. It was only a bit more than a pot sized bet left, and a shove can look bluffy. If he overfold to that line, then just add more bluffs in the future.
