Popular poker vlogger Brad Owen finds himself playing in a $5/$10 cash game at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. This is the first hand from his session and he makes a huge mistake as he believes everyone has folded after he raises with pocket aces. Just as he is about to turn his hand over he realizes his mistake and tries to salvage it with some special speech play, but will it work?
Jonathan discusses some factors you should consider when deciding on a continuation bet size. In deep stacked cash games on very co-ordinated boards it can often be a good poker strategy to use a larger bet size rather than a smaller one.
He also teaches you the difference in Game Theory Optimal (GTO) approaches compared to how you can adjust in live cash games to play exploitatively. Remember that most of your opponents will have many weaknesses in their game that you can exploit. One of these is not being conscious enough of the bet sizes and always having a call/fold mentality. Against these types of players you should certainly be sizing up with your value hands if they will not adjust or notice what you are doing!
In this poker hand Brad Owen opens with pocket aces from the hijack, and gets a call from Villain who has QTs. With a pot of $75, the flop brings Kc Jc 3s. Brad continues the aggression with a bet of $40 which is called by the villain with his open ended straight draw and backdoor flush draw. The turn is a huge action card as it reveals the ace of hearts. With his top set Brad decides to use a smaller size and bets $60 only to face a raise of $200 from villain who now has the nuts. With the pot at $555 the river card is the seven of spades. Brad decides to check on the river and faces a $410 bet on the river by the villain. Will Brad make the call with his top set?

What is the biggest mistake that YOU have made at the poker table? 🤐
f course you should overfold. But this hand is still an easy call because we beat some of the value hands. And the potodds are also very good. Yes sometimes we loose.
Thank you for access to pokercoaching 🙏🐺🙂👍
I think he got set up, while setting up the camera. Obvious cheat
What a tricky spot. I qm a bit on the tight side. However, having the Ac means i block a lot of villain's missed flush draws. There are a lot of combos of QTo (16) that a lot of players would play compared to 3x 33 and 3x combos AJ and 3x A3. Fold or call maybe depending on how tight the villain seems. I think the 1/2p bet on the river is clearly reeling in players. After all a lot of players won't bet pot here with the absolute nuts in case they don't get paid off and they don't make tiny bets cos they may not get raised either (though Brad might have).
Jamming the river would be a big mistake, IMO. Bluff is folding, two pair is folding most of the time. Weaker sets will fold a lot. Basically the only hand you can count on for a call is the one that beats you.
I say call all the time, counting their bet as your value. I do think it's right on the break point though, and first hand at the table you're almost never going to have a read on the player's style unless you've played with them before, so going blind, I'd read that as straight probably 2/3 or more of the time, which makes calling break even-ish (not even quite).
But with top set, I think break even is probably good enough. Not sure I'd show the cards though – I'd rather have people thinking I called a bit weak so they'll be less prone to bluff me.

Definitely call here on the end. I’ve seen too many live players play smaller sets and two pair this way to ever seriously consider folding. I would say Brad lost the minimum here.
Old man coffee always has it there.
