Usually we’re pretty happy to get 100bb stacks all-in with a wrap and a pair, but on this board things get tricky!

Remember that we’re in a 3-bet pot as the caller, normal poker strategy dictates that the 3-bettor has more high card focused hands and as such should have more strong hands on a board like this.

There are going to be a lot of bad cards for our specific poker hand on the turn, so unfortunately while it may be a weird hand it’s also just strong enough of a hand where we want to commit our stacks all-in now instead of calling and seeing a bad turn card or folding and losing out on our equity.

While in terms of dollars this may be a big poker hand, in terms of big blinds it’s a lot more reasonable, don’t be afraid to get it all-in!

If you are afraid to get your stack in the middle you might be playing above your bankroll, proper bankroll management and poker mindset strategy are essential to staying in action as a poker player.

If you’re building huge chip stacks already but still looking for how to improve at pot limit omaha, no limit hold ‘em, or poker in general, Phil Galfond is here to teach you how to think like a professional poker player.

  1. Jesus… The comment bots are on 😂 last warp I shoved was a kofta kebab straight in my mouth like helmuth and that burger on that final table😂😂😂 (im on a roll today-joke wise…) 😂

  2. I just tend to lay down these "middle of the road eater's" I do trust you are correct with the math, but could you post the percentages going forward? I don't think you're ahead of K,Q,J,10 here.
