0:00Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the
0:02series in which we're going to kick back
0:03and watch some live vloggers and answer
0:05the question of whether they are in fact
0:07simply bad at cards. We're going to kick
0:09things off today with GazzyB who is
0:10playing a five ten twenty game at the
0:12Hippodrome in London. Let's roll the
0:14tape.
0:15>> Guys, welcome to the Hippodrome Casino
0:17in London. I'm buying into this two five
0:20ten game for one thousand pounds.
0:22Spoiler alert, bigger game later on. And
0:24my very first hand is also the very
0:26first hand off the deck. We're starting
0:28the game five handed and I've got king
0:31queen offsuit under the gun. I raise it
0:32on up to thirty pounds. The small blind
0:34is going to make the call and the
0:36straddle is going to call as well. My
0:38reads on these players, absolutely none.
0:40Never seen them before in my life. Nice
0:42guys though. Anyway, we go three ways to
0:44the flop. It comes down ten ten eight
0:46rainbow. It's going to check on over to
0:49me and versus two other players, I
0:50decide to just check this one back. Turn
0:53>> So, I do think that a more advanced
0:55player like Gazzy, I know Gazzy fairly
0:57well. He's a he's a strong poker player.
0:59He might be dumbing down his thought
1:00process a little bit for the live poker
1:03player audience. Yeah, you know what I'm
1:05saying. Yeah. Sorry, jokes aside, but
1:07you know, we can expect him not to say
1:09every technical thought that goes
1:10through his brain. That said, I think
1:12it's a bit lazy here not to consider
1:14betting. Being three way is a good
1:15reason to not range bet and it's a good
1:18reason to apply some standards as to
1:20what you can and can't bluff. So, if we
1:22had a hand here like the four five of
1:23diamonds, it makes a lot of sense to say
1:25this doesn't have enough going on for
1:27the three way environment for me to want
1:29to see bet. But with king queen, you're
1:31you just have such great redraw here.
1:33You know, like any king or queen turn is
1:35going to move you ahead of any non ten
1:37or boat in the flop calling ranges.
1:39They're going to play transparently here
1:40against the bet. You've got the hijack
1:42ranges as it were. You've got way
1:43stronger range than either the small
1:45blind or the straddle here when it comes
1:46to the nuts. And you're going to have a
1:48lot of fold equity on turn as well with
1:51a ton of different cards on a brick and
1:53also on a card like a jack and ace,
1:55something like that. Just maybe not on
1:56like a seven or a nine. So, I'm a big
1:58fan of betting this flop. I think we
2:00should have considered it and I think
2:01it's an overreaction to check a bluff as
2:04premium as this in a three-way
2:05environment, even if we are going to
2:07tighten our standards a bit as to what
2:09to bluff.
2:10>> Turn is a queen to give me top pair,
2:12actually gives me two pair. And when it
2:14checks to me, I definitely want to bet.
2:16I bet out for 70 pounds. The small blind
2:19is going to make the call, but the other
2:20player is just going to guide the way.
2:22Rip
2:23>> So, I'm thinking in theory this is an
2:24optional bet only, but I I think I'd
2:26always make it in practice. And this is
2:28how we think about the game, by the way,
2:29at Carrot Corner. It's always going to
2:31be theory, exploit, click a button,
2:34press an action, throw some chips into
2:35the middle. And the reason you want to
2:36do it that way is it really frames your
2:38understanding of poker in a solid way
2:39first, and then you use the exploitative
2:41layer in a healthy way, so you're not
2:43just like making extreme reads,
2:44overreacting, and and just making big
2:46mistakes basically. So, the theory of
2:48this spot is that the two players, the
2:51small blind and the straddle here, who
2:52are out of position, want to check very,
2:54very often on a queen because it is a
2:56pretty damn good card for the hijack
2:58player's range. I wouldn't call this
2:59under the gun, by the way, being an
3:00online nerd. That's just kind of
3:02confusing. So, hijack's just going to
3:03have ace queen and king queen at a
3:05really high frequency. Offsuit cards, as
3:07we know, are very abundant. They're
3:08going to have those hands a lot. So, if
3:11the small blind and straddle do have a
3:12ten here, or pocket eights or something,
3:14or jack nine suited, I think going for a
3:16check raise makes a ton of sense
3:18depending on Gassy's sizing and the
3:19spot. In real life, in the hyper room in
3:22London, two random guys that Gassy knows
3:24nothing about, I'm assuming they're not
3:26like top regs. They're probably going to
3:28be a bit more transparent. They're going
3:29to feel the urge to bet, to get greedy,
3:31to get to make value right away, and
3:33they're probably going to be checking
3:34way more capped. And what that's going
3:36to do is it's going to promote our king
3:37queen from an optional value bet in
3:39theory to a mandatory value bet in real
3:41life because now getting two streets is
3:43just that much more important.
3:46>> There's an interesting one. It's a jack,
3:47and my opponent checks it on over to me.
3:49I think for a couple of seconds, but
3:51ultimately, I decide to just check it on
3:53back, and I'm going to beat pocket
3:55sixes. Maybe
3:57>> So, this is an interesting river spot. I
4:00definitely don't think there's any
4:02reason to even consider betting, but if
4:04there was one, it would be a bluff here,
4:06not actually value in my mind. Because
4:08we could have ace king, we could have
4:10boats, like jacks and queens and eights
4:12and things like that. And our opponent
4:14is probably extremely capped here at one
4:16pair. So, I'm actually toying with the
4:18idea of just making some absolutely
4:20enormous bet and making my opponent fold
4:22range, making them fold even a hand like
4:24pocket nines. If you know your customer
4:26and it's a sensible player that's
4:28thinking correctly, you can put the fear
4:30of God into them here. You have all the
4:31ace king, they don't. You have jacks and
4:33queens, they don't. They probably don't
4:34have trips when they merely check all
4:36the turn. It's likely to lead or check
4:38raise. So, I do wonder actually. Now now
4:40I'm beginning to like some like
4:41gargantuan like fiendish bluff on this
4:43river, but I think most people are just
4:45never going to even consider that. But,
4:46value betting here makes absolutely no
4:48sense at all. I don't think you can you
4:49can even remotely consider that.
4:51>> You could have gotten another street of
4:53value on a different river.
4:55>> By the way, if you've been watching this
4:56channel a while and you like the way
4:57that I talk about the game, you can also
4:59learn from me on Carrot Corner. You can
5:01give yourself a break from the YouTube
5:02algorithm, head over there and learn for
5:04free with our three video starter kit,
5:06where you can find and diagnose your
5:08biggest leak. I've no idea if I pointed
5:10at that accurately. It's very hard to
5:12aim. There we go. Check out that's the
5:14starter kit Carrot Corner. Let's go back
5:15to the video.
5:16>> We'll never know. So, today I'm going to
5:18give you my reads on the players, the
5:20hand number, and I want you guys to let
5:22me know your thoughts on any hand I
5:24play. Really break down anything you
5:27want to in the comments, and put the
5:28hand number when you do so. On to hand
5:31number two now.
5:32>> And you guys watching this Carrot Corner
5:34video can do the same, by the way. As
5:35Gagsy's nicely labeling his hands here,
5:37it's really easy for you guys to discuss
5:38my analysis with me. And I'm sure Gagsy
5:41can can pop along and say what he thinks
5:43in the comments as well.
5:44>> I I got ace queen offsuit in the
5:46straddle, and the button raises to £20
5:49off of about £600 or so. I'm going to
5:52three bet to £75 and he is going to make
5:54the call. Reads on this player, he's the
5:57guy with the pocket sixes from the last
5:58hand. All right, we go heads up to the
6:00flop. It comes down 544 rainbow and I am
6:03going to see that here for £50. I'm
6:05forcing him to continue with so many
6:07hands that we dominate. Hands like king
6:10queen and ace jack, they're just not
6:11going to fold for a £50. I know this is
6:14not theoretically correct, but this is
6:16the sizing I have elected to choose. He
6:18is going to make the call and the turn
6:20>> Right, so here he's saying like I know
6:21theory wants this, but I'm just going to
6:23play it like this. I think I think this
6:25is fine. Like it's definitely okay to
6:26think in this way. And like how big an
6:28exploit are you making if you decide to
6:30use 1/3 here instead of B60 or whatever
6:33the solver quote unquote prefers. People
6:35have a feel bad with this, right? Solver
6:37prefers B60, but like what is the EV
6:39loss if you build a small bet strategy
6:41here? And if you think your opponent's
6:43going to play really face up and badly
6:44against the small bet, you can go ahead
6:46and do that. So checking's also an
6:48option here by the way. I personally
6:50like to play really big bets and checks
6:51in this situation and then we just need
6:53to decide as ace queen
6:55a hybrid bet. That's a really fancy
6:57term, sorry. Basically means it can get
6:59folds from better and calls from worse.
7:01I don't think it is here. I don't think
7:02too many better hands are folding,
7:04although I could be mistaken. And I
7:05think you do get called by some worse
7:07hands even at B75, but you know, dialing
7:09that down to B33 and just making a small
7:11bet here, you're going to get called by
7:12loads of hands. You could you have the
7:14option to turn this into a bluff later
7:16and I think this is a fine way to go as
7:18well. I have no issue with this and it
7:19functions as a sort of value bet, denial
7:21bet.
7:23>> Turn is a jack. I don't really want to
7:25keep betting ace queen here, so I decide
7:27to check it on over to my opponent and
7:29he is just going to check it back. River
7:31is a 10.
7:32>> So this is an interesting turn spot.
7:34Like it is a late position battle, which
7:35means that after the B33 on the flop,
7:37your ace queen does still retain a ton
7:39of showdown value. The jack makes that
7:41worse and it also increases fold equity
7:44from better hands. The question is does
7:46it do those two things enough to make
7:48this a turn bet? My inkling is
7:50probably not given how wide ranges are
7:53in these positions, but it is
7:55interesting and there could be an
7:56exploit available here if you bet turn
7:59and shove river like your opponent's
8:00going to have to call a lot of pocket
8:02pairs on that note. They're not going to
8:03have enough Jack X. Jack X is going to
8:06be folding the flop at pretty high
8:07frequency. Well, Gassy's right that Ace
8:09Jack won't fold the flop most likely. A
8:12lot of the other suited Jack X is going
8:14to fold the flop like Jack 10, the low
8:16ones like Jack 9, maybe Queen Jack, and
8:18certainly um clubs although those are
8:21impossible on this particular turn. But
8:23yeah, I think this hand is maybe just a
8:24bit too good to consider bluffing, but
8:26it's worth pointing out that broadways
8:28do give you incentive to eat up a bit
8:31higher into your showdown value and and
8:33start bluffing as your opponent's range
8:35changes on this card, but I think
8:37checking here is is fine.
8:38>> And I once again I decide to check it on
8:41over to him and he is going to check
8:42back. I'm going to lose this hand, but
8:44not so I'm expected to. He's got Ace
8:47King. That could have gone really ugly
8:49and that is an important read in case we
8:51face a four bet in the future from this
8:53player.
8:54>> Yeah, that's definitely a bit bizarre,
8:56but not unheard of and actually not that
8:58bad of playing theory either to flat the
9:00Ace King on the the button there even
9:02though four bet is the the main line.
9:04So, the key to this hand is that minimal
9:07range filtering occurred, right? We only
9:08went small on the flop and therefore our
9:11opponent does reach the river here with
9:13like lots of Ace high that we're
9:14beating. The Jack and the 10
9:16do diminish that. They do decrease our
9:18showdown value, but I do think on the
9:20river we're still checking for a little
9:21bit of pot share. Villain's going to
9:23have another Ace Queen sometimes that
9:24they'll check back. They might check
9:25back with something like Ace 9 and when
9:27you've got a bit of showdown value and
9:29it's not a massively over folded spot,
9:31you probably just want to go ahead and
9:33check. There's also that thing right
9:34where live players always put you on Ace
9:36King and probably bluff catch sevens
9:38here.
9:39They prefer that I would think to
9:40folding. So, yeah, I think this is a
9:42well played hand.
9:43>> But ace king, that could have gotten
9:45really ugly and that is an important
9:47read in case we face up with any hands
9:49with him yet. And the buttons the player
9:51that played the pocket sixes and the ace
9:53king earlier. So, we go three ways to
9:54the flop and it comes out an ace jack
9:56four with two clubs. D-
9:58>> So, we have
10:00gone ahead and defended the straddle
10:03against cutoff and a button hold call.
10:07It sounds like here. Sorry for skipping
10:08over the the preflop action there.
10:11>> decent start with top pair and it looks
10:13a little better when it just checks all
10:14the way around on the flop. Turn is the
10:16five of clubs and I decide to bet out
10:18here for 60 pounds. I wouldn't bet ace
10:21six but ace three with the back up with
10:23the gut shot and I think that's okay.
10:24Under the gun is
10:26>> I feel like the sizing is just too big
10:27for the hand class. Like, what what are
10:30we really trying to do here, right? It's
10:32like a very thin value bet. If called,
10:35while there are some combos like queen
10:36jack off with a queen of clubs and maybe
10:38like a sticky tens with a club that can
10:40call here that are worse, I feel like
10:42betting 60 into 77 is just an over
10:46investment for this hand. I'd rather
10:48just check to be honest and probably
10:50just use a sizing like this with a more
10:52polarized range. I don't think this hand
10:53qualifies three way in this situation.
10:57But the thing is like if we are going to
10:58bet here, we can just bet smaller. We'll
11:01get called by more of the hands we beat.
11:03We'll get called by the six five
11:05occasionally, the king jack without a
11:06club, maybe the nines with a club. We'll
11:08just It'll just be better as a smaller
11:10bet or a check. I think this is a a
11:11minor to to moderate polarization error
11:14actually betting this hand for the
11:15sizing.
11:16>> is going to make the call and the button
11:18just gets out the way. Kind of the
11:19opposite of what I wanted to happen
11:21there. River is a jack. That's a pretty
11:23bad river to be honest. I check it on
11:25over to my opponent and he is going to
11:27bet out for 300 pounds. This is
11:30>> Yeah, this is a super easy fold against
11:32most people. The thing is with a live
11:34game like this, I don't want to be too
11:36disrespectful, but a lot of players that
11:37play live just don't have that much
11:39theory, right? I think that's just an
11:40established pattern. Some do, don't get
11:43me wrong. I'm not accusing every live
11:44player of having no theory, but if they
11:46don't understand here that with like
11:48king queen with the king of clubs, they
11:50have a completely mandatory bluff at
11:51this point. They might even be missing a
11:53bluff with a few air combos that get to
11:55the spot. But the biggest problem is
11:57that we've gone big on the turn. There
11:59are very few air combos reaching this
12:01node at all.
12:02Even something like eights with a club
12:04might not turn itself into a bluff here,
12:06even if that would be a reasonable thing
12:08to do on this range improving river for
12:10the end position players. So I think
12:11this is a very, very trivial fold. I
12:13think we've already somewhat over
12:15invested here. We have a bluff catcher
12:17in a in a node where the opponent is
12:19drowning in jack x, has some flushes and
12:21boats maybe as well, and just has like a
12:24bazillion value combos and almost no
12:26natural bluffs. This is a possibly the
12:28easiest fold I've ever seen. I'm sure
12:30guys is going to fold here, but let's
12:31listen to his thought process.
12:32>> A really big bet in relation to the size
12:35of the pot. We lose to sneaky flushes
12:38and of course even jack x now. Some full
12:41houses sprinkled in there as well. The
12:43bluffs are hands like king queen with a
12:45club, king ten with a club, but I think
12:47they're going to bet the flop really
12:49quite often. So I just sigh and fold my
12:52hand. Is this too knit?
12:54>> Yeah, I mean this is another good
12:55observation that I missed is that these
12:57hands just had a very natural c-bet on
12:59the flop. This is
13:00absolutely mandatory fold. He knows fine
13:02well this is the mandatory fold. When he
13:04says is this too netty, this is expert
13:06engagement farming, which is what you
13:07need to do as a vlogger and he's
13:09absolutely crushing it these days.
13:10Probably shouldn't out the secrets, but
13:12yeah, don't don't worry guys. Gazzy has
13:13absolutely no doubt about whether or not
13:16this is a fold. So if you've commented
13:18on that and said that's too netty, then
13:21you don't deserve to play the game.
13:22>> Basically 5 10 20 now, pretty big game.
13:25Let's play some hands. Game is
13:27temporarily five-handed while some of
13:29the guys go down to the steakhouse. I've
13:31got ace-10 offsuit in the straddle under
13:33the gun. He's raised to 50 pounds. It
13:35folds around to me and I'm going to
13:36defend. Reads on this player, chatty
13:39guy. He's just been stacked when his
13:41opponent turned a set of deuces that he
13:43shouldn't have turned to crack his
13:45queens. Maybe he's a little tilted from
13:47that. That's the read that I've got so
13:49far. Anyway, flop is ace-eight-six
13:51rainbow. I check it on over to my
13:53opponent. And he just checks it back.
13:55Nobody wants to see bet when I've got
13:57top pair. Turn is a seven bringing a
13:59flush draw and I decide to check again.
14:02Don't love this in hindsight. Maybe some
14:03of you guys like it. Let me know in the
14:04comments. My opponent is just going to
14:06check it on back.
14:08>> So, this is a very important note to get
14:10right because although the pot is small,
14:12these spots come up all the time and
14:15therefore they are important for win
14:16rate.
14:17What do we think of the range of the
14:19average player in this game that checks
14:21back on the flop? I would imagine that
14:22they have very little air, a lot of
14:25showdown value like ace-five, ace-four,
14:27kings, queens, and jacks, and probably
14:30very few ace-queen and ace-king combos,
14:32maybe a smidgen of ace-jack.
14:34If you check and they have ace-jack or
14:36ace-queen, you're going to check call
14:37anyway. Like probably you'll lose two
14:38streets against that hand regardless.
14:40So, let's focus on the parts of
14:42villain's range that are important here.
14:43If they have nines, they're going to be
14:46calling a bet but never betting
14:47themselves. Tens is the same. Something
14:50like ace-five, potentially the same.
14:52They might bet. Kings, queens, and
14:53jacks, they might call, they might fold
14:55depending on your sizing, but they sure
14:56as hell aren't betting if you check. And
14:58if they're not investing any money with
15:00a hand like pocket threes here, you may
15:02as well just bet and make them fold
15:04before the river comes a three
15:05occasionally, especially if they're not
15:07bluffing. So, there's lots of reasons
15:08just to think that this is a bet. It
15:10sounds like Gagsy's already identified
15:12those. He doesn't want to bog down his
15:14audience like I'm doing to you guys with
15:15all of this rambling. And so, he just
15:17says he doesn't like his check. And I
15:19think it's easy to just check here
15:20because in theory it's fine. It's an
15:23option. You know it can't be
15:24theoretically horrible, but then you
15:26have to just take that extra step and
15:27think about what's best exploitatively
15:29and I'm guessing that's what why he
15:30doesn't like his play.
15:34And the river is a 10 to give me top two
15:36pair. I don't really see the point in
15:39checking here. I think anything that's
15:40going to bluff will have bluffed by now.
15:42So, I decided to bet out and I bet out
15:44for 150 pounds. I'm going to get a quick
15:46fold from my opponent. And that like I
15:49said, this is a really interesting hand.
15:50We can bet the turn, we can use
15:51different sizes on the river. Let me
15:53know how you guys would have played this
15:55one and it's going to bring me back up
15:57to very very close to even. I've got
16:00Which is completely irrelevant by the
16:02way. He's now almost even. This stuff
16:04that's thrown in here for the live
16:05audience that I guess they care about
16:07that like we at Carrot Corner, meaning
16:10me and you watching this are probably
16:11like not bothered about like tracking
16:14this stack and being like how's he doing
16:16for the day? I I just it's so weird to
16:17see this content as like the other the
16:19other side of the game from what I'm
16:20normally used to talking about. Anyway,
16:23I feel like that hand is
16:26obviously a missed opportunity on the
16:28turn at the river.
16:30How would I play the river here?
16:32I mean, villain's range is either going
16:35to be something like 10s or 9s that
16:38we're now losing to. 10s is obviously
16:40only one combo, 9s is is still six.
16:43Or something quite bad like kings,
16:46queens, and jacks. Air will usually have
16:48bet by now. Not always though, they can
16:49have something like king queen, but how
16:51do you make any money from that? I I
16:53don't really know. You just have to
16:54check and hope that they now start
16:55bluffing with it, I suppose. But if we
16:56take all of these hands together as a
16:59collective, most of the range is just
17:01jacks, queens, or kings at this point.
17:03And so, I feel like the right play here
17:05is probably the B10. Like I think we
17:07need to bet for a smaller sizing and we
17:10will sometimes induce some bluff raises
17:11though not often. We might get crying
17:13calls from kings, queens, jacks. Maybe
17:16B33 you could go up to something like
17:17that. I definitely wouldn't bet any
17:18bigger here. Like, villain's range is
17:20kind of polarized issue in a weird way
17:23where they've either like banked a
17:24straight with nines or ace nine now or
17:26something, or they just have a very weak
17:28hand in this spot. They're not going to
17:30have a hand like ace king here hardly
17:32ever. So, there aren't too many hands
17:35calling some bigger bet. I I just don't
17:37think we want to go too big here. It
17:39makes no sense at all. You're either
17:40just like running into something very
17:42weak or running into something that just
17:43improved to a hand that beats you. So,
17:45I'd keep the sizing down in this spot.
17:47>> of losses for the session, I can see the
17:50even line in sight. On to hand number
17:52eight, I've got ace 10 offsuit under the
17:54gun in a full game, and I raise it on up
17:56to 50 pounds. This is not standard, I
17:59know, but I got my reasons. Straddle is
18:01going to defend. The reads on this
18:03player pocket sixes ace king, that's the
18:05player that we're playing against, and
18:06we're going to go heads up to the flop
18:08here. It comes down king jack seven with
18:10two hearts one spade. I think in theory
18:12the solver is probably going to bet
18:13bigger here because of the connectivity
18:15of the board, but I decide to bet out
18:17for 40 pounds. clear out his equity.
18:19We're not going to get check raised all
18:20that often. I like this sizing here. My
18:23opponent is going to make the call, and
18:24we see the nine of spades roll off on
18:26the turn. I
18:27>> So, even if a solver does construct a
18:31polarized strategy for a bigger sizing
18:33here, again that doesn't mean that like
18:34the small bet is necessarily bad.
18:37It just means that that's the first
18:39choice, and and sometimes there's no EV
18:41loss at all when you compare those two
18:43things.
18:44This is Gagsy's strategy. He's very used
18:46to playing small bet on flop and
18:47exploiting weaker players thereafter.
18:49So, I'm totally fine with it. He's got a
18:50game plan. He knows what he's doing. I
18:52just advise my students to to have a
18:54game plan. Like, if you normally bet big
18:55on this flop, you study big bets and you
18:57study checking back. So, that's going to
18:58happen a lot, and you study double
19:00barrels after the big bet goes in,
19:02right? You don't want to study the wrong
19:03node. You want to have a consistent game
19:05plan and stick to it, and it seems like
19:07our hero is doing that here.
19:09>> I've got a double belly buster. There's
19:11two flush draws on board. I think we
19:13want to see bet again here with our
19:14equity. We can just make a hand like 7-5
19:16suited fold here, and if we do get
19:18called, at least we've got outs going to
19:20the river. So, I bet 180 pounds, and
19:22once again, my opponent is going to make
19:24the call. Looking for some help, but it
19:26is the five of hearts. My opponent very
19:29quickly checks it on over to me, and
19:31that is going to stop me from
19:33considering bluffing here. If my
19:34opponent tanks and then checks, I think
19:36we want to maybe consider it, but when
19:38they snap check, that means that you
19:40know, they didn't even think about
19:41leading. They've got more flushes than
19:43they might have at Sarah. I do just
19:45check it on back. My opponent's got two
19:46pair. He's got jack-seven offsuit. And
19:48again, this is a really important read
19:51for how we play two pair. I'm not saying
19:52it's good or bad or anything like that.
19:54It's just a specific way
19:56>> So, this is why we've opened these 10
19:58under the gun, by the way. This player
20:00is like a 61
20:02nine
20:03VPIP, PFR, seeing flops, and playing
20:06badly, that kind of thing.
20:08The
20:09not even thinking about
20:12betting the river thing is super alien
20:14to me. Like, maybe I just don't have any
20:16experience like or enough experience in
20:18these environments, but
20:20it just feels like a very normal check
20:22that people would make.
20:24It doesn't mean there's more traps
20:25because they're trying to act cool, like
20:27they're not thinking. I guess that's
20:28what Gaxis means. Maybe that is true. I
20:30wouldn't have really thought of it that
20:31way. Do I want to bluff this spot?
20:34I mean,
20:35while there are obviously some two pairs
20:38here, there shouldn't be too many
20:40straights. Although, these are really
20:41passive players can just trap a lot. The
20:42trap here this player is, and he does
20:44look like he could be quite trappy. This
20:45king hand being the evidence, the less
20:47inclined I am to bluff here because the
20:49more two pair plus he's going to reach
20:50river with. It could also just be like
20:52the kind of player that never folds top
20:53pair as well. I don't think we should
20:55bluff here. I think that while there are
20:57hands like tens and 10-9 and jack-ten
21:00and queen-jack that could fold here, you
21:02may even get looked up by them if it's a
21:04really stationary fish, and they're
21:06probably just never going to be folding
21:07a hand like two pair plus, even if we
21:10pick a big sizing that clearly makes
21:11Jack 7 indifferent. They're not going to
21:14consider it indifferent. They're not
21:15going to know what that means. They're
21:16just going to be calling two pair on the
21:18river. So, I think he's played this
21:20well. Um good open pre with this player
21:22being at the table. You just want to be
21:23in it to win it with more dominating big
21:25cards. Good flop bet, good turn bet, and
21:29this is just not your customer on river
21:30for this kind of line. I don't know
21:31about the timing read, but this is just
21:33not really the customer. Not the player
21:35type you want to be triple barreling. A
21:36good bit of advice for you guys is that
21:38you want to triple tight regs in spots
21:41where they're capped. You don't want to
21:42triple recreational players in spots
21:45where they're relatively uncapped, and
21:46that's a a good way to make a a triple
21:49barrel decision, cuz these are
21:50uncomfortable spots, right? It's good to
21:51have some hard and fast rules here for
21:53these kind of situations.
21:55Okay, this hand is labeled high stakes
21:57confrontations, presumably like an AI
22:00summary label, but this this is going to
22:02be our finale, right? This is going to
22:04be the the so climax of the video here,
22:06perhaps. Let's see what happens.
22:08>> fun one. I've got king jack offsuit in
22:09the straddle, and the button raises to
22:1250 pounds. The big blind is going to
22:13make the call. I can squeeze for sure,
22:16but I decide to just call this time.
22:18Reads button is a reg, not seen any
22:20hands of no pair. He's a regular looking
22:22fella, and the big blind is a high
22:23stakes reg that I've known for years,
22:25but haven't really played that much with
22:27him. Like I say, he plays high stakes in
22:29London, and he goes to the USA to play.
22:31He has just told me a bad beat story
22:32from a 25/50 game from the other day.
22:35Maybe that's something we can use to our
22:37advantage. I don't know. Anyway, we go
22:38three ways to the flop. It comes down
22:40ace king jack with two spades. That is a
22:42nice start with bottom two pair. And
22:44again, I've flopped a decent
22:46>> It's kind of a horrible hand though,
22:48right? Like, I mean, if you're going to
22:50have two pair,
22:52bottom two pair, this is like one of the
22:53worst situations to have two pair. So,
22:56your hand is okay here. I'm definitely
22:58not that excited, and I think newer
23:01players get very caught up on hand
23:04labels. Not saying this is Gassy by the
23:05way, but some people watching this will
23:06be will be thinking this hand's really,
23:08really good. It's not because there's
23:10many, many offsuit combos that beat you
23:12and that's such a a fundamental piece of
23:14the puzzle. Like if queen 10 offsuit
23:16exists in both players' ranges, for
23:18example, and that crushes you, then your
23:20hand is just not that good. Same goes
23:21with ace jack and ace king exists
23:23offsuit. It's kind of blocked, but it's
23:25still it's still fairly present.
23:27>> A hand that is just going to check all
23:28the way around. Turn is a five and the
23:30big blind bets out for 115 pounds. I
23:34don't like raising here.
23:36>> Yeah, raising here is just plain trash.
23:38Like it's absolutely abysmal.
23:39>> He can have a lot of queen 10 and if I
23:41make it 400 pounds to go, his ace four
23:44suited ace nine suited, are they going
23:46to continue? I think they're just very,
23:48very likely to fold. So, I decide to
23:50just call here. I think I'm only going
23:52to raise, you know, my sets and my queen
23:5410. Button is going to get out the way
23:55and the river isn't offsuit. Deuce prick
23:58of all [music] bricks, nothing should
23:59change and he is now going to check it
24:01all over to me. That gives me the green
24:03light, I think, to go very, very big. I
24:06think overbet is the play. [music] I
24:08calculate the pot size around 380 in my
24:10head and I go with 530
24:13pounds. Pretty big bet and I fade the
24:15snap fold, which is good. And after five
24:17seconds, he is going to make the call. I
24:20>> This is a really interesting spot,
24:22actually. Like
24:23yeah, I guess the opponent's range is
24:25mostly give ups and ace x here. It seems
24:29like the culture in these games is that
24:30it's really normal just to lead the turn
24:32big with top pair. It's like no one bet
24:34the flop, I have top pair, and blam,
24:36loads of money goes in the middle. It's
24:37just what people do. Their turn probe is
24:39just like very merged compared to
24:41theory, which is maybe that's right
24:43given how capped the flop checking
24:45ranges actually are in these games.
24:47But we have to ask you like how often
24:48does our opponent have like ace jack,
24:50ace five, ace deuce, something like
24:51that? Probably pretty damn rarely. The
24:54overbet is a is a funny one because
24:57it sort of
25:00ignites this dynamic where it becomes a
25:02game of cat and mouse. It becomes a game
25:04of like, do they believe us or do they
25:06not? So, if we're the kind of player
25:07that's often bullying, as Clanty would
25:10say, like making a load of moves and
25:12just applying pressure and doing stuff
25:14that makes you unpleasant to play
25:16against, then this is a really great
25:18play. If you're some old man coffee, you
25:20know, don't rock up to the table and
25:21over bet here and ever expect to get
25:23paid by an ace, you just won't get paid
25:25if that's a decent reg. But for Gazi,
25:27who is clearly like a young reg that
25:30wears sunglasses and hoodies and kind of
25:32knows how to play cards, I can see this
25:34working out quite well.
25:35>> And I have two pair. Why is he turning
25:37his hand over? He's got ace jack of
25:40suit. Yikes, that is
25:42>> Yeah, people do just get randomly
25:44freaked out and just go into passive
25:45mode on the river sometimes. I'm not
25:47shocked to see this,
25:49but it is definitely going to be fairly
25:50rare. I am a little bit worried in this
25:52game that people are just going to be
25:53scared money and just not pay off 530
25:56enough with one pair, but I don't know
25:57the the dynamic. I would have gone
25:59smaller, I would have gone like B75 here
26:01not knowing anything, just because I
26:03feel like this over bet against the cap
26:05ranges. Like we we just know this is the
26:06case, guys, right? Over bets against cap
26:08ranges in live poker just tend to be
26:10very, very effective, but this is higher
26:12stakes, it is reg on reg, it's Gazi,
26:14he's a known vlogger and and good card
26:16player. So, maybe he does get looked up
26:19often enough here to make this the best
26:20best sizing choice. It does always come
26:22with this risk that your opponent just
26:24kind of like net rolling something and
26:26that's just part of life in these spots.
26:28Okay, so let me know what you think
26:30about this format. We'll do it again,
26:31suggest who you would like to see. I
26:33will read the comments, go through it
