A3 feels pretty punty. Isolating villains range to better holdings otf and ott and having a really small fold equity otr with a jam. 6x and 8x is a better bluff than A3 by a margin.

Hi Mariano, for the flop @6:38, you said that you think it makes sense to mostly bet small or check, but what about betting bigger to the tune of 70%~ of the pot instead? With such a wet flop, there'd be a variety of draws that would call you even at a bigger sizing, so why not extract as much value as possible?

[@MarianoPoker]

My uncle Pio said to bet small

[@danielcontreras8745]

[@philiplong9741]

Hey Mariano! !a few questions if you happen to see my comment! I’ve been trying to build a bankroll for 1/2 and I wanted to know how long it took you to build something up. Also how old are you? I’m 25 and it’s awesome seeing someone younger clearly have so much success. Thanks!

[@MarianoPoker]

When I started playing poker, I had $840 and no idea what I was doing. I busted my "roll" 3 times in a month playing 3/5 $300 max at the Gardens, then realized how lost I was. I took a $600 loan from my best friend, began grinding 1/3 while learning the game, ran hot for 6 months, and eventually won a life-changing $5000 jackpot at San Manuel. In total, it took me over 1 year to build my bankroll to $10,000... things went well after that

[@Scott-wq5lk]

@Tommy Gunz This is a valid point, but significantly easier if you have a full time job. If the commenter is specifically looking to play only poker for income, then taking shots can be very detrimental to the bankroll, especially when starting out. When I was starting out, I believe it was noted that one should have 30 buy-ins at a certain level in order to play professionally (to account for variance), so you'd need upwards of 10K just to play 1-3 for income. Dropping 1K of that or more into a good 2-5 or 5-10 could take a while to recuperate at lower stakes. But having said all that, if the poster has a source of steady income and is looking to merely build UP a bankroll to then start playing professionally, then taking shots is a great way to do so, because you can increase your roll fairly substantially with one or two sessions of really drunk players. And, when those players get lucky and you go broke, you're only busto until your next paycheck.

Some casinos have a rule where if you pay your blinds you still get delt hands even if you are away from the table. This could be because of the bad beat jackpots.

I didnt know what you were gonna do on that last hand... Mariano like silence of the lambs with that show!

[@Obambulation]

I don't know if this ever was questioned but that last hand I think I like all in vs overbet. At the stakes you are at it makes sense but it also denies confidence in the guy playing what you were up against. On the other hand if you are betting into a flush you are screwed. I don't know. I liked the line leading in but the end felt like a bluff. More I think of it are we trying to pick off the straight as well? But the guy was ready to call with 2 pair with way too much on the board. His spot was nuts, was it the less aggression by you at the start? But that would make sense if you hit it on the river either way. He should fold river aggression with so much on the board unless he thinks your doing a bluff that looks like value. But watching your videos you don't. You Bluff and win this by saying you have straight or flush, or even I have flush over your straight you just picked up. That is your style and didnt do that. I'd like to hear your thoughts. I typed a lot and watched the last hand like 5 times. lol

Regarding the A3 hand; maybe I'm misunderstanding how balance should be applied, but do we really need to think about balancing against a player who limps AK UTG?

Further; don't we want (at least) the Ah in our hand when we turn our hand into a bluff OTT so we can jam heart rivers?
