Do you see how the betting logic is strange? At 11:44 we discuss why.

[@israeliteonlycampkilluhi.o2108]

Do you have link for sport betting??

[@effortlessawareness8778]

hey bart I clicked the sportsbetting video link and it went to video #4 couldn’t find the other ones when doing a search in your database. How do I find the others

[@tipsy09]

He thought he could get AQ to fold because he wasn’t thinking what hero was thinking of him and his range because he would have concluded that the river was a check back. This was an entitlement ship by the villain just pushing buttons

[@stephanie4205]

You hit 100k subscribers!! Congratulations!

[@johnmar6376]

Another awsome video, Thank you

[@buggaboo2707]

"You can't lose", except for if one of the sites refuses to pay you, or you have to pay taxes on the winnings. You will eventually get banned for arbitrage betting.

[@CaNtHoNY127]

Yeah my buddy got banned within like a week of doing it

[@fredde2593]

Yeah, arbitrage betting is hard. Did it while I was taking advantage of bonuses on betting sites to clear the bonuses with profit. But the profit from arbitrage was marginal, and when I took too large arbitrages I was flagged really quick by the sites which often led to restrictions in betting sums and one time my brother lost a few kUSD on a site for ”suspected collusion”. And many sites worked with other sites so flagged on one site you would get it on their partners as well shortly. But the betting industry probably differ from country to country, might work somewhere?

[@jasonfullerton7763]

All the online books are limiting winning players as soon as they can identify them. Holding back bonuses, failing to pay (cancelling) parleys that hit, limiting bet sizes to very small amounts, and outright banning. These aren't poker sites where they make money off winning players, so they don't want winning players.

[@buggaboo2707]

@@CaNtHoNY127 And it's not hard for them to figure out after a few bets because they can go back and identify the opportunities and corelate them with your betting

[@fireinfireout]

@@jasonfullerton7763 Yeah. Should be criminal. They prey off of the idiots and then as soon as someone is winning, boom, gone.

[@frankberger3507]

Poker players lie. If he put him on AQ, why would he ask if he has AA or KK, then turn over KQ?

[@johnathanreynolds1108]

Because hero called. The villain was sure of his ability to get a fold from AQ probably was like what can call here AA Kk?

[@clementl.784]

Funny thing is that it's probably better to call AQ than KK/AA because vilain's value range is mostly QQ/QT. Even top pair is sort of a bluff here.

[@blobster5016]

for every 5 people that use the free bets wisely all they need is 1 person that gets hooked onto sports betting for it to be profitable to keep the promotions running long term

[@jefffrese748]

Very interesting line. Challenges me to rethink how I analyze/approach 3b pots oop. Love this discussion. As played i think river needs to be a jam due to the logic behind the line itself. Really really bad jam by villian imo.

[@nickmullen402]

My armchair opinion, as a guy who plays for fun in $0.25/0.50 home games, is that this is a pretty clear bet-bet-bet. If you take hero's line and get to the river, mandatory jam. If you take hero's line and check the river, mandatory call. Villain cannot really expect us to have any type of good hand after we go squeeze super small, check/min raise, bet 1/3, check the river on a card that doesn't improve any hands except a random ten.

[@taylerdarden2275]

Hey Bart ,where I can see what you post about bonuses?

[@willinnewhaven3285]

The time I think the check-raise is great under one circumstance, if the =villain has AQ. Maybe you can get him off it

[@effortlessawareness8778]

[@1312Mork2]

live poker is alive

[@qazzaqstan]

Fancy play syndrome by the villain (and probably hero tbh) counting on. hero folding 100% of his his range on river rather than just being content with beating hero's bluffs and trusting them to defend properly with everything else.

[@michaelb4090]

I hear what Bart is saying but I get that feeling when peeps call real quick 🎉

[@ticenits1926]

always use polar sizing on the turn.

[@HartlandOrchard]

[@asetate8227]

Do the bonus’s work for Canadians?

[@Goods0777]

Does anyone know if the sports betting opportunity Bart talks about is available in Australia?

[@harveywright2502]

Google "matched betting Australia". It comes up with a fair bit of information and reddit is helpful. From the little I read it seems to be a profitably side hustle. Gl

[@DavidR34647]

That was for real some magician type betting lmao

[@JoshCosta]

Button clicking competition right here. 😂

[@newstandardaccount]

I'm not sure I follow the logic of the short circuit. If I'm considering a large bet on any street, I'm basing that decision on the range of hands you have. However, once I've made a bet (or two) and you've called, now your range narrows, and the percentage of hands you have to which I lose grows larger. I'm not suggesting that hero was necessarily right to check the river, but doesn't villain's bet/call x/r on flop, and call on turn tell us that we're now losing to more of villain's hands?

[@JohnSmith-nx7zj]

Hero has to jam river. The ten is one of the best river cards in the deck for him.

[@DallasDelRio]

I play very aggressively preflop due to the players in my pool being limp happy. I will check in spots like this OOP to protect my checking range when I miss, and check/raise with sets, top pair, overpairs, and weaker draws. So I have value and bluffs in my check/raising range. I also play with a lot of players that pounce on perceived weakness.

[@duncanglen3452]

Advert at the start ?😂

[@philip-op6de]

Yeahhhhh Bart must be needing some buy ins 😂

[@maltetheg]

I feel like in low stakes we always have about 5% more equity than we should because once in a while people show up with complete nonsense like in this hand or something like J8o.

[@johnathanreynolds1108]

And then we lose to 10 deuce here sometimes as well😂

[@frederikmarohn6358]

Checking for balance is fine on flop especially if the button is in the hand, but my god this flop is so dry. Why not just bet or check call the flop if you’re going to disguise the hand.

[@EllieBanks333]

Meh. Strange line by hero. Probably because he was trying to play another style via Squish's video & got lost. But if this river is a jam, and I agree it is, then it also never a fold. I mean, Bart had just discussed consistency in hand logic. I think this was an easy call for hero. I think villain played quite poorly, mostly because I think his river jam is a clear mistake. Seems like he is targeting QJ only, because all other hands will just fold or if they call it is a split or lose. And QJ would be a very strange hand to check-raise the flop with.

[@steveharding8965]

Briliant play,if hero jams villain folds.

[@kristianstenerson2608]

I mean congrats on getting max value but this couldn’t have been played worse by hero honestly

[@provjerenijebac888]

by the way hand was played villain wasnt bluffing lol he just sucks and thought ( pardon he didnt think) he had best hand and jammed for value and was embarrassed afterward

[@datsumcrzysht]

“Do you have AA or KK? …oh yeah I knew you had AQ…and I was bluffing”

[@yespc]

@@datsumcrzysht lmao

[@TomRauhe]

That's what checking the flop does

[@kristianstenerson2608]

As played AQ as 3ba is supposed to pot flop pot turn and jam river on this board…

[@cj7139]

Betting pot on the flop and turn is going to leave about a 20% SPR on the river. It's either 3E, or a two street hand where you bet like 1.15x pot on the flop.

[@TheDjcarter1966]

It is possible BUT its REALLY hard to find arbitrage spots most of the big books are aware and have software that counters this and remember just like any casino if the books find out they can simply refuse action and cancel your account

[@PaulLilly-lw3hf]

why do u think villain would not shove a Queen here ?

[@datsumcrzysht]

Only if you believe that Villain knew Hero had AQ…and that he would fold to a shove. Otherwise what purpose does a shove serve?

[@EllieBanks333]

He thinks villain will not shove KQ here because it is a bad play. Nothing worse is calling & everything better is calling. AQ was discussed, Bart speculated that it might be an attempt to get off a chop.

[@abruptlyblunt]

wow i put the villian on slow playing A/10 which means i would have folded, teach me to think....

[@Jermo484]

Why would he bet AT on the flop? Why would he even call pre unless it's suited. That's literally just two combos.

[@datsumcrzysht]

@@Jermo484 I can see Villain betting a 10 otf but shouldnt be calling a check raise.

[@Jermo484]

@@datsumcrzysht why, though? People don't 3 bet just to give up on the a dry flop like that.

@@Jermo484 Sorry that was idiotic of me. For some reason I got in my head that the flop was Q, 10, rag. and I was going to say to protect his equity, but NM my mistake.

[@user-xj9lq5qj2x]

Crazy how much people play so bad.

[@youtubelife9248]

If you think that happens often you don’t sports bet. This is why the books keep their lines tight and the difference between dogs and favorites is massive. For example. A -150 fav would never have a +145 dog. It would be +110/115

[@TexasPoker40]

Bart, please don’t shill me on some sports betting site, poker only please.

[@harveywright2502]

He isn't shilling you on a sports betting site. He's just telling his community about a risk free side hustle, which is what Arbing and matched betting is. Though I honestly don't know the tax implications in the US. If you dont care for it, that's fine, just skip past it. Bart can advertise what he wants, and I'm pretty certain he'd be picky about who he advertises and would never sell out for a company that could hurt his community like a sports book.
