Poker Strategy Info And Source:
Top pair with a straight draw is not always as strong as it appears. Sometimes it is best to just try to get close to the showdown.

So glad that you are back to doing hands again. Is there going to be a little coffee later today?!
I heart JL
Great video. Spots like this cross me up a lot. On one hand, this is a great board to range bet since its unlikely either of the blinds as any set or AJ (they should have 3-bet). I can get value from worse K's, Q's, JT, Q9, T9, any Jx and all flush draws. My hand also benefits from some protection from all these draws. I won't be getting any more value if my draw fills so getting value now seems like a good idea. On the other hand, there's not much incentive to blow the pot up at this point. I'm not thrilled to get x-raised, have to call at least once and maybe get blasted off on for another 2 streets. It's not a good flop for either blind to x/r on but more often than not, villains don't know that. So, my question is, "what assumptions are you making about the player pool when you walk into tournaments in the $1000-$2500 buyin range? Do you expect them to understand ranges and theory?" My assumptions vs various populations in tournaments seems to be way off.
Do you think Villain had QJ/Q9 here?
Nice vid thanks. This is a common spot in the tournies I play and as usual Im too tight most times.
Thanks for the advice. In the 1/2 game I play a check/raise on the river is NEVER a bluff yet still gets called by marginal made hands.
