Key strategy breakdown of this flop action at 6:13 is worth listening to again. Villian's flop check raise doesn't represent as many flush draws as you may think. This more often is a made hand on an Ace high board vs. the preflop raiser, which means if the draw comes in and you are checked to then you have a good spot for a bluff.

that river check was cold

First thing hero said "SB is a loose passive tourist type", who then c/r's flop and check/jams river. Those are alarm bells. To me the lesson is remember your initial read and don't get caught up in paralysis by analysis aka "no ones ever took this line with me". When loose passive tourists start c/r'ing and jamming, they have it.

The turn check by villain sets off my boat alarm.

I like that bart talked about sizing your bet preflop from the amount you have in your stack. Feel like so many people watch stuff loke hustler casino streams and just call off so light and make 4-7x bb raises just because everyone they play with does, not understanding that people in those games are playing 300+bbs deep and are betting 2.5-3bbs as a open.

14:03 _what hands play this way"_ V is polar. Either a monster hand (FH) or busted flush draw. I disagree that AK/AQ would check turn and river. (of course, depending on V profile. Some fish would risk to lose river values by checking with the top pair top kicker) Therefore: I'm checking back. (No weaker hand would call, nor stronger would fold).

Love how he break down the hands👍🏾

Love this show! I wish they included all the stack(s) though. Sure, the effective stack is very important, but why do they rarely mention the other stacks? If the eff. stack is say $500, and you/the other person(s) has like $5,000 (10 times the eff. stack) VS. you/they have only $550 (nearly the same as the eff. stack), then the way you/your opponent(s) play, and what you should consider when making your decisions should often be a major part of it.

What about KQs, QJs, KJs, J9s, Q9s? Those are all in his range and need to bluff at the end.

The only bluff I’d try on the turn is a pot size bet but ya 10 a rly bad card here rly don’t mind checking bc the card just sucks maybe u hit ur hand on river

I think the question here is if V is capable of turning A8 into a bluff, if so its a clear call if not then there is not many natural bluffs thats taking XR, X, XR line.

"Is he shorter than you?" "NO. wait I was referring to his chip stack."

Is it all that crazy to check the river back on the paired board . Villain raised the flop he has A10 A8 1010 88 KQs KJs and a small portion of other flush draw miss . People rarely raise AQ AJ on the flop vs preflop raiser (also 3 bet pre a lot oop ). So what value are we left with to bet

Overfold the river check jam @2/5. Bluffs would continue bluffing on turn (IMO). Felt like A 10, 8 8, 10 8.

14:05 - checking turns is either a full house (I would still bet here OOP if I think my opponent is on a draw or has a hand like Ax to get value from those, but I would bet 1/3 - 1/2 pot. Other hands that could check here are Ax and they're afraid of the IP player having 10x of spades (10-Q, 10-K, 10-J) as now trips has them beat.

If you're going to call with one hand on the river, what would it be? 97s as the highest value, or A8s to block the boats?

Knowing that he had AT. How would you rate Villains strategy/line once he boats up? I mean, if you check turn and gets checked back. At these stakes, isn’t another check on the river just gonna lead to yet another check back in most cases, and you will have missed out on 2 streets of value?

I need to start at the river, because reasons. I think this is a fold. Bart seems to agree that it's a fold, but thinks it's close because of pot odds. I don't understand that because I cannot find any in-between hands. This is air or a boat. Unless you want to pretend villain has our same hand of 97 & I refuse to believe V has the spade version. And I agree with Bart that this is not TXss. This board texture is a bit weird because we really don't have any other hand here in the sense of say making a pair. In other words, if the river was a 7, would we call? It gets a bit messed up because that 7 would bring in something like a J9 for V. But lets pretend it didn't, we just have a pair of 7s. Is our hand strength really any different? I think there is 1135 in pot and we have 465 to call, so like 2.5 to 1 right? If we were getting 3 to 1, we need to win 1 in 4 right? That's 25%. I think the idea hero is good here 25% of the time is funny. I have to put V on a spade draw, so KQ KJ QJ J9. Then he has to check turn & then check-jam river. So now then, why did I start at the river? Because this is a trivial fold on the flop.

Cold blooded line by villian.

Pretty amusing reading about everyone saying easy fold. I'm betting that 90 percent of those saying that reluctantly make the same call!

just have a question, could you have checked the flop for a free turn card would = easier to read the hand while the pots smaller?

The ONLY hands V shows up with here that aren't boats are Tx of spades, and Bart said it well - I highly doubt players at 2/5 are taking that line.

Whats the worst hand that villan check raises the flop with and jams with on the river? K10s or Q10s?

Should’ve folded on the reraise flop esp with a flush draw on a 80$ pot lol

10/10 does not seem to have been even considered.

For the opponent I feel like the double check makes more sense with 10x than A10. He wants to unblock the A so hero can go for value on the river and he can get in the check raise.

Really tough spot…. Has anyone ever called a river check raise and been good?

I like an over bet on river. If we think villain has an Ace. He blocks all full houses and will look you up. If he raises your overbet it’s an easy fold

To me this looked like A10 a lot by the river. Are people really x-raising AK on the flop that often? Plus, villain will be raising that preflop a good percentage of the time. On the flop I'd think it could be pocket 10s or pocket 8s, or 10-8 or A10, but only one of those hands would want to check turn & river. Villain probably thinks he has so much of the board locked up, and hero might have a flush draw that he thinks the way to maximize value is via inducing a bluff.

Hand was a roller coaster I would have called flop too knowing he had a made hand then the turn in really think probably A8 or 8 full then the river check raise is always with a made hand I don’t see rec players take this line ever with a busted flush especially with a Ace on the board hard to piece together in the moment tho keep grinding

Good analysis by Bart on this hand

Six clean outs as stated by the caller is not correct. Any jack gives KQ the nuts so you are looking at 3 outs to the nuts only. Of course Bart points this out after I typed it. lol

That was an easy check back on the river

A10 off no spade makes perfect sense here to be honest

A-10 or pocket 10's were my call on this. On the flop. I'm going check check turn river. Just sayin.Check raised flop on a draw and I don't have the flush and no made hand? Gone.

Bart, you are going to break the game of poker if you keep this up.

I’m going 180 on the river and ya I’m calling it sucks prob has A10 but F it don’t know what happened

Queen outs ?

This line in low stakes is Rarely anything less than a full house on the River. Only a drunk or a Cpt. Blastoff is ever doing this with less.

From experience, when a SB executes a check raise on multiple streets, they almost always have the goods. Before the reveal, my first thought was 10s for the villian. Chasing and/or making the nut straight into an already paired board is never a good spot.

Look at the board. The strait was well hidden. Wouldn't the villain bet the flop most of the time out of position?

Why not check back the river?

Folding’s only “exploitable” if you can’t find any bluffs. Anyone who’s played with you long enough to “exploit” you… you’ll find some of these bluffs and call sometimes

BART falls for the trap 😂

This is a fold a large portion of the time especially against unknown players. Not too many players jamming all in after two checks unless it's the effective nuts. I'm with Bart I think the time to bet is on the turn. It he x/r again or hell even calls you have to assume your bear for sure.

He got max from the fish

This is like 2003 2 + 2 in vid form

is this Stu from Californication?

Couldn't 10s be for value on that run out?

MDF is just not a thing at 2-5 or below

imo A8o/s can be counted as a bluff combo here, too much?

i can’t tell if Bart is smirking at the beginning because of the sheer amount of PA callers he gets lmao

7:32 I'd fold here (flop x/r). Not enough equity to continue. Open ender has only 6 outs (8 - 2 spades). Paying 24% risk with only 12% equity does not work. So, pot odds with implied odds are not in place.

6 clean outs to the nuts on the flop? I only see 3 to the nuts with the 6s cause any J won't give him the nuts.

This guy sounds like Stephen Tobolowski

This particular vid is like get crushed by better players than you. And my job as Brad is to help you so pay me

Trapping with a made hand on flop always feels good ngl😂

how come he never put him on 10's or 8s?

👍👍

As a fishy 2/5 player, I’m thinking, why couldn’t it be a missed flush bluff? I’d consider it if I were V…

There is an old-school theory that you never bet a flush or straight draw into a paired flop. Additionally, I would never bet the river here given the action. You’re giving the SB too much credit for a semi-bluff with his check raise flop. Two pairs make more sense, or possibly a set, though I think a set might CR bigger to get rid of draws. I absolutely do not bet this river and either a)lose my equity by letting SB bluff me off hand, or b) fall into this trap with A-!0 makes most sense, followed by A-8, followed by 8-8 (which I think might have 3-bet pre flop) . Completely disagree with Bart and caller that they never check this back, and not because of the result.

Villain had quads 😂

All that being said donks exist and there are ppl who would go all in on u with just 3 10s

Oof. Think I just bet super small on the river here, and fold to a raise. This V's line makes my spider sense tingle. No way fish is jamming as a bluff, and there isn't much worse value that takes this line.

What a wildly irresponsible way to play AT. He's so absurdly lucky you hit 1 of 3 cards that let you call.

really bad call, Hero can easily have 88, TT, AA or AT. 97 is nowhere near the top of hero's range.

"I've got an open ended straight draw, not counting spades I have 6 outs to the nuts..." Um no, no you don't. You have 3 outs to the nuts. Only non spade 6's

Beware of the boats. Villain is clearly a donkey. Shame on the hero for calling the river jam.

JJ is what SB has

this is weird being this early

Is Brad a “you def shoulda called vs the nuts” influencer guy? Wtf is going on I watched like 15 vids and is Brad on drugs? Hes like “ya I call there” what!!????

Lol considered folding on flop ? Never an option
