Important observation

[@TheMarkODonohue]

Not to mention Bill was stoic all hand, and the moment he raised and said that he was smiling and you could just sense the relief.

[@mercilpb]

Its actually a sick reverse by Bill. "First raise in 6 years" is a strong hand statement, strong hand statements weaken your range. Smiling is a weak hand tell too. So its a great level by Bill.

[@truthsmiles]

Yeah I thought that was a critical mistake by Bill and expected Andy would fold.

[@fernandb.6162]

Agree with you about the lower suited connectors having less value because of smaller pairs, flushes. However, 45 suited is actually the first suited connector that makes the same amount of straights as the rest of the suited connectors. 45 suited and 10 9 suited both make 4 possible straights.

Why would the low suited connectors (starting at 4/5) "make less straights" than the larger ones? Am I missing something? Of course 2/3 will make fewer straights, as will 3/4, but 4/5 has as many straight possibilities as 9/10, does it not?

[@deathmetalalchemist5861]

Why does Andy not raise bigger on the turn? Can a flush draw really call a big bet there, as there doesn't seem to be much he could be beaten by at that point as pocket 5's would likely fold on the flop? Is he trying to trap because of that fact (there's little that's likely beating him at that point)?

[@thomasocallaghan9145]

Great stuff, I think he's just building the pot with the small raises and if the flush hits he can then dump the hand and not lose too much

sorry but how does 54s make less straights than 109s? possible straights for 54s: when the board is either A23XX ; 236XX ; 367XX or 678XX .. so 4 possible scenarios total possible straights for 109s: when the board is either 678XX ; 78JXX ; 8JQXX or JQKXX .. again 4 possible scenarios total im confused can someone explain?

[@daandemeyer1708]

How does 4 5s make less straights then 9 10s?

[@jonathansykes4986]

It doesn't. But 43s does (A25, 256, 567). 54 is the lowest you can go where you have the same number of straights as T9.

[@dimitriskontoleon6787]

45 have A23(my favorite) 236 367 and 678(the worst) and this is a second reason why 10 j was much better than 45. With 10 j all straight was top. And you can see a lot more action if flop akq But techinacall both have 4 main combos

[@againstdrivingdrunk614]

Doug, I'm only about 2 years into playing and learning more, but it seems to me that AA is not very good, are you saying to be confident with value betting / semi bluffing from the beginning, by saying "there just not gonna lose"?

[@donhalley5622]

Nice analysis. The (to me) reverse idea that if I have a desirable heart (for example), it's less likely that my opponent is working on a heart flush draw, is beginning to make some sense. Also, it makes those looooong, drawn out pauses before a player takes action seem a little less like pure "Hollywooding", and more like the time actually needed to think things through. I'm learning.

[@RyanMurphy1972]

When Doug said, "Basically, just don't be afraid to bet your aces for value…" at 11:56, I thought, "Well, if Andy had tried to extract value with his aces, he probably wouldn't be about to get stacked." Getting sucked out on is no fun, so charge 'em to take the chance.

[@jordananderson4710]

Could you go down the list as to why playing 54s is going to make you a losing player.. and why a skilled player should not be trying to play these types of hands... ty

[@firemanscottdulaney99]

Why is the sound always so low?

[@dannstarrjp]

54s doesnt make less straights than T9s, they are both perfect connectors (unlike lets say KQs) so they make the same number of straights

[@gazorpazorp9798]

“Except for today.” “He couldn’t!” Great upload. I wish I could afford upswing this month to take advantage of the discount but school is starting next month. Maybe I’ll get it for myself but if gift around Christmas.

[@kevinroman9042]

Can someone tell me how “54 makes less straights than T9?” . Serious question. Thx

[@calebbaer7889]

so with 54, you can make A2345, 23456, 34567, 45678, 56789.. thats 5 straights. w/ 9T you have 56789, 6789T, 789TJ, 89TJQ, 9TJQK, TJQKA ( 6 straights)

[@calebbaer7889]

Its because you can't make a straight with the 4 being the highest # card.. while you can with the 9T combo.

[@kevinroman9042]

On 5678 you’re still just playing 6789T though

[@johnhunter6808]

[@jonathanfrakes2703]

I think you should mention the 25$ discount on the upswing courses more often! It almost slipped through my fingers watching the last few episodes...

[@SacredCowStockyards]

2:28 54 makes exactly as many nut straights as T9. It's 43 and below (and QJ and up) that make fewer. Rest of the point is sound.

[@m1j4s]

I know what you’re trying to say, nit picking with the fact that he was one notch too high repping 54 as being less likely to make straights/nut straights; however, QJ definitely makes just as many nut straights as any holding, except J10. makes less straights, true... now I’m nit picking... the question is, in that spot what percentage of the time should you call with 4-3 suited, if it’s Zero, Doug, just let me know?! I’ll stop playing that trash if you say it isn’t so!

[@floatinghandsmtg9360]

When considering the bluff are we ignoring John? Or is this mostly when we are heads up.

[@kitbillion7783]

Well we actually have 1 more value combo in bills shoes that is 67hh

[@jordanLee768]

I thought it would be better to 3 bet/ call lower suited connectors compared to then 9 because there 3 betting range/ 3 bet calling range will often heavily dominate u in terms of pairs and also blocking alot of your draws. Im pretty sure Piosolver rathers take them sort of aggressive line with the likes of 5/6 6/7 aswell over 9/10 and 8/9. id ussualy flat 9/10 pretty much most of the time and choice smaller suited connectors to 3 bet because your also more happy to take it down where as as u said u can make some nice top pairs with 10/9 not really the case with smaller suited connectors

[@jerrygarcia4390]

[@youaremopped]

Peace? I had to check and make sure this video wasn't from 1997.

[@nathanielmorgan3592]

2 notes: I'm pretty confident Andy should be betting extremely large(pot or bigger) with 100% of his range to leverage his massive equity and EV advantage on this board. What are you supposed to do with 99 if you're opponent bets 2x pot? If you call you could be putting in a ton of money with 2 outs and the potential of future barrels which force you to fold not only your equity but the large flop bet. Conversely if you fold 99 you're essentially folding your entire range making it a great bluff spot. That's why the big blind can bet 100% of his range and should overbet imo. Secondly regarding Andy's river call strategy the mp player should be bluffing with pair blockers not hands that contain hearts. As such is having a heart really that important because mp shouldn't be bluffing with hearts (theoretically). If that's the case shouldn't he call linearly? Not sure about that one.

Flush have something like 20%...so please consider making a 75%pot bet to lock your equity... When he bets 7k in a 17k pot... Or 40% pot... Of course the third guy has to call... 7k in a updated 38k pot... Which represents 18% of the pot, and of course he has more equity than that... Anyway...
