In the given situation if you're going to put enough chips in to be pot committed and you're only opportunity for fold equity is on a jam on the turn because there won't be enough SPR on the river I think in that given situation if you were planning to run with it you might as well take that strategy

[@SeanC_BKK]

Of course. That's a default response for everyone who's watching and a clear jam , even for the villian if the hands were reversed. Villian tried to prey on his fears. Hero was prepared to take this shot and drilled it.

[@alexbehrend1886]

Very interesting hand ... and I don't think Bart talked about what happens if you call turn and villain checks the River? So ... what does Hero do in that scenario? (a)Does Hero have enough showdown value to check back? (b)Does Hero have enough fold equity to take pot away from 88, 99, or 1010, or anothe AK? And is this second question more player dependent ... meaning is your opponent good enough to be bluff catching when they check the River with something like 88 or 99?

In tough games it’s actually better to size down EP preflop. You want to lose the minimum when you fold to 3bets, keep the flop smaller when someone calls or 3bets IP, and force BB to defend a wider range (granted many live players have a very static BB defense range)

Bart is making this a tricky situation when it doesn’t need to be. If you think about the combos you block plus the sb 3 betting range into the utg bettor, it’s more straightforward.

[@adampawlowski4303]

I agree. Realistically,* the worse hero can do on the turn is be up against 88 99 TT JJ QQ in which hero still has about 34% equity plus 7% to chop. *Sure, villain can show up with KK, AA, set, or a five in much lower frequency in which equity is much lower, but even then, hero will still have outs. These bad case scenarios are balanced out by the frequency in which the villain is crushed with heart draws, AK, or other no pair bluffs.

[@7betJesus]

I’m the idiot in the villain seat making this exact play with 78s and every session wondering why I’m not making money

[@rhyschen]

You played it the best way possible. The river might have been an offsuit 8 or 7, and then you would have lost to a rivered pair. Win while you're ahead with the chance of binking a Heart Ace or a King if he did call with an over pair to the board.

[@SuiGenerisGuy]

Shove river sounds right to me. Either you have him dominated with your hand or he has middle pp to QQ. You can get him to fold out those hands and any unpaired hand without giving him equity to see the last card. If he has middle cards like the 87 he had, you ain't looking at an 8 landing and going shit, I'm beat. It's going in regardless but you lost by giving him another card. Key thing here is don't go for the max in thin positions. Ignore that he may have bluffed off on the river and accept the higher probability payout

[@joet7760]

I’m only on the flop in terms of watching this but I would add that most of the players in that game likely know that this guy is a one three player and they may be trying to push him around.

[@kineahora8736]

Preflop: I like 4-bet to 1300. Doesn’t give a decent price to the IP caller. Flop: it would be better if we had 4-bet. Now we have to call flop Turn: hmm SB has some 5s with A5s. You have 55 and A5s as well. I will lead if checked to (planning to double barrel) and call if led at, with 2 overs, gutterball, and nut flush draw. If I miss the river, I will take that decision at the time. But im inclined to bluff-catch here modified by any tells I can pick up. I think worst river probably offsuit Queen or Jack. One thing I would *not* do is fold the turn… [hmm turns out the worst rivers were 8,7, and non-heart 5). Turns out the turn jam denied 9 outs of equity!

[@losyart]

The 5 makes str8 on board so i would discount it as gutterball

[@jamesjones2675]

I like the push. The only way villain puts any more money in is if the 5 comes, in which case , hero loses it all. Well played in my opinion.

[@gerontius3]

Agreed. If he only calls, all his money is going in anyway unless the river is a dud and the villain shoves. Mind you if I am the villain here I am never folding Tens, Jacks, Queen etc. My mother would be sleeping under a bridge before that happened. Which leads me to conclude villain did not have a large overpair, or any pair.......

[@Jealod24]

You got to love the titles of all these vids… he sets up this great problem to solve but then just walks through the hand and never explicitly answers the question or statement given in the title. So if you’re good at poker you’ll understand what he’s referring too in his titles, but everyone else is out of luck… Bart, if you’re going to make declarations in your titles about what a player can learn from your vid, it would likely benefit most newer and lower rated players for you to give a sentence or two at the end of your convo illustrating the salient point of the vid…

[@guillermoalvarez9400]

You have to jam here. Unless you know the guy is a total maniac and will blast any river. But even then he could catch an offsuit 7,8, or 5 and stacks you

[@Jealod24]

His range as the 3 bettor in the sb should be 99+, Ako, ATs+, A4-A5s… some of those are pure raises, some raise call or fold, some just raise/fold. You’re calling range as utg vs sb 3 bettor should look like AA-raise; QQ,KK, AKo, AKs, A5s-raise or call; AQs, 77, 76s, 65s-call; KQs, AJs, 88-JJ, QTs, JTs-call or fold; ATs,KTs-raise or fold, A4s-raise call or fold; AQo, KQo, KJs, QJs, K9s, A6s-A9s- Fold… so you have a slight range advantage on this board… but this is live poker so I wouldn’t be surprised if sb turned over pocket 2’s. good luck

[@AT-bw4cm]

UTG has a big range advantage on this flop. Preflop: SB should never be 3betting small pairs. While UTG can have all the sets as an opener and raise caller. This also gives UTG pocket 55. Both should have A5s and a little 56s.

Having ak here isn’t great because we block hands like aces, kings, and ace-x, and that leaves more combos of pocket pairs that beat us on the flop and turn…

Why is there almost never a scenario in this channel where they encounter a board like this and bricks the river? So we can see how his thoughts on playing river spots.

[@whirlingdervish69]

There are. Maybe learn.

[@jamesbell1613]

I think this would be knowing your opponent too. 7 8 clubs there tells me thia dude is very wide. I might jam there too because I'm not good enough to call the turn and call a blank river. 😂 Too many outs too, and obviously right play against this player.

[@dan22482]

I disagree with Bart on calling turn to call river on a brick. The pot will be so large on the river that I’d argue a lot of SB’s bluffs will give up (bluffs that we beat on the turn and would possibly call a jam). There isn’t enough behind to bluff hero on the river after he makes such a strong action on the turn by calling a nearly pot size bet. To sum it up if hero flats turn SB is going to put him on a lot of overpairs that won’t fold on a brick river given pot odds.

[@wjockusch]

Villain was NOT drawing particularly close to dead, as he wins on 5, 7, or 8 unless it's a heart. Seven outs.

[@Badbentham]

Why is it so extremely unlikely that Villain bets pot on the turn with maybe as light as even JJ, with the intend to valuetown Hero ? - I mean, it is highly unlikely that either side connected with the board, so Hero has to continue rather lightly, while he is kind of capped; apart from obv 66/55. And, for the aftermath, 87s is among V's best bluffs; so, rather little to deduce from that.

[@DrDizzyMorris]

Pot bet on turn with less than one SPR going to the river is unlikely because pocket pairs don’t want to play for stacks when you’re playing deep stacked (200 BB) poker. V’s bet on the turn is two pair+ or nothing. It’s far more likely that SB connects with this board than UTG if SB is playing a standard, wide 3bet or fold range. UTG has stronger range equity going to the flop but SB has better board coverage after the flop, as evidenced by 87s holding. Hero is not capped. SB’s 5x PF 3bet is large enough to suppress 4bets because what are you going to make it? $1.5k to $2k? Well then you’re < 1 SPR on the flop and you’re post flop life becomes very difficult with the overpairs in your range. Agreed 87s is one of V’s best bluffs, although would prefer 87hh to bluff here, despite H having hearts covered.

[@Badbentham]

@@DrDizzyMorris Thanks for the answer! Both Hero in UTG and V can obv hold A5s and 66; they are probably too short for Hero to have 65s/54s, holdings that V (apart from JJ+) can have?! - The actual question may be: How tight/loose Hero has to play for stacks with that given board configuration, given that V has likely an overall Range AND Nut advantage . Then again: Bart is quite willing to stack off ( for less than 1/2 pot, admittedly ) on the River with A high, for those cases where he does not make his hand. - Let me put it that way: I could totally imagine an aggressive big-bet player like Adelstein to potentially value-own himself here with a higher Overpair, even for far more BB's , when in V's shoes. Just that it may be quite far from "standard" for small and mid stakes.

[@DrDizzyMorris]

@@Badbentham Yup, I can agree that a hyper aggressive archetype like Adelstein would play an overpairs for stacks here in V’s shoes. Also agree it’s super rare to see that player type out here playing small/mid stakes. And my god, if you do, please switch tables immediately before you lose your entire bankroll. Also, yes A5s is in H’s range. 66- should not be since $500 3bet gives improper implied odds. I think this is one video where I disagree with a portion of Bart’s analysis. Turn is a mix of call/fold, and river is a fold unimproved (i.e. A high). I’d be interested to see what a solver outputs for this hand. I don’t imagine a solver is stacking off with A high on the river.

[@Badbentham]

@@DrDizzyMorris My afterthought guesstimate: Probably Bart is correct, after all; - AKhh, with its equity, is certainly a far better hand on the turn than 88/77, which we have to (auto-) fold, because they block (e.g.) 87s. 🙄

No way I fold on the turn. I would likely jam on the turn also only because of my equity and in case he checks the river and folds. Especially if you won’t call his bet on a clean river. Even if he has queens, you have any 5, A,K or heart. Enough outs for me to jam and make him call with a hand that he’s getting good odds to call where if a heart, ace or king comes, he check folds.

@@losyart Obviously.
