How to Make the MOST MONEY in Poker --- Betting!

[@Glastoki]

Ive been doing this for 17 years and Bart has made a bigger difference in my game than any other player or KZbin channel. He is for advanced players what Nathan Williams is for newbie players. Bart made card removal and preflop action such a bigger factor in my turn and river range constructions.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

Bart taught me the importance of stack sizes and to keep the big picture in mind at all times. It is also great fun to play 'guess that hand'

[@ikickpuppies01]

I have played a long time too. Still find so much insight from Bart. Explanations are perfectly articluated.

The part that Bart says about the UTG call with a player behind is huge for putting UTG on an A, at least often. I paused b4 I know what hapeens but this consideration had helped me a lot. Gl Gl boys!

[@miketrout477]

You can really find a fold here. A call is hoping for a chop. Meanwhile villain has so many Ahxh combos that play this hand this exact way. Hero also blocks villains bluffs

[@prob_theory1751]

Congrats on the win at hustler. I tuned in for about an hour of it.

[@PeterUKTV]

Interesting, I have been told you never call if someone raises big on the river. So I think snapcalling here was a mistake, as your opponent had too many back doors. Flush draw, possible trips or quads even (its risky to call/bet when theres a pair on the board)

[@TheMomentEnds1]

7:00 Limon coined the phrase O.M.C.

[@johnmar6376]

The way this hand played out mainly V-checking the turn + huge bet on river it was easy to see he had a flush.

[@SavvaSou]

It’s an under bluffed spot. V isn’t betting pot on the river with any of AK, AQ, AJ or AT (non hearts). V also can’t have any bluffs because the best flush hand (QJss) folds pre given the 4b pre. So as played, we are beaten by AKhh, AQhh, AJhh, and AThh, as well as AA which can play sneaky. V doesn’t have A8, 88 or 77 given the action pre. So That’s 5 combos. Given pot odds we need to find 2.5 bluff hands or hands we beat (where V value owns himself). Let’s say 3 combos. I challenge anyone to find 3 bluffs in villains range. As I said, he can’t have a flush draw, so what bluffs do we beat? V is not betting pot on river with AK. I’m really surprised Bart said this was a call, given that on the river he actually specified that the backdoor flush came in and villain could have an Ace high flush.

[@cj7139]

@@SavvaSou I agree it should be a fold. However, if he has A10hh, he could have 88 and 77.

[@jimyoung1615]

⁠@@SavvaSouhank you I was thinking it was a call watching this video in real time, due to only needing a couple of bluffs. But you’re dead right and I should have 1) seen that V needed 2.5 bluffs not 2 (I need to be more precise when doing pot odds). 2) No way V had a busted flush draw as I originally credited. He could have decided to bluff AJ clubs but that’s leveling and pretty rare. But still not enough bluffs. I’m still learning and checking my ego at the door when coming to the comments has helped me immensely. GL at the tables boys!

[@kasra_mlg]

Bart, what sizing would be best for a turn raise? 300 for targeting JJ, QQ and KK, but 550 for targeting an Ace, or loose suited connected preflop calls like QJs, KQs ... so, 300 or 550? If 550 then, would Hero shove on river? If 300, would Hero go for 70% river sizing to target AQs-AJs ? And fold to a river raise...

[@karlinchina]

My takeaway is this: Don't play poker until you've dealt with your crippling anxiety.

[@moaf2padventures757]

you dont get to cold 4bet very often, make it much bigger. like 200-225 or something.

[@eternalselph]

Ok. Will do. How about 230? Too much?

[@chriskoshinski]

He's definitely never folding the turn. Caller did save money.

[@DannyAIC]

I don’t know that I agree with the analysis on the river. We’re not beating a ton of hands on this river, maybe like AHQ or QHQ. We don’t beat all the Ax suites that could be out there either. Everything else were tying or losing too and we’re not blocking any flushes. Why would villain bet the river without the Ah? If he doesn’t have the Ah, that means we can and it’s a terrible spot for a bluff.

[@EllieBanks333]

I'm trying to think of what bluffs villain has here. I guess he could have AhKx. But that's a chop. Does he turn AhQx into a bluff here? Maybe missed spades gets turned into a bluff to rep hearts? I think it's fine to call here, hero does not really have any better hands to call with. But I think we chop or lose most of the time here.

Didn't really agree with a lot of hero's thinking on this one (felt turn was actually kind of dangerous) but I think he actually kind of lost the minimum with the hand villain had. I would have bet turn to try to deny some equity with draws developing but tough to see villain folding.

Why dismiss 77 or 88 so lightly?

Knowing a OMC vs just some old guy is important. Playing tournament today, actual coffee drinking OMC calls my 3 bet I’m AKs on button he’s cutoff. Flops KK8. I bet. He calls. Turn blank I check he checks. River a blank he checks, I bet X he raised 2x. Shows 88. When he calls my 3 bet and flop bet it’s scary and gee whiz the OMC has it

[@TheCondorPMH]

[@johnmar6376]

No, 4 bet pot he shouldnt even have ATs. One in 9 your get a flush draw on flop then One in five you make your flush on turn.1 in 3 you make your flush by river+ when you hit your flush it is obvious.

[@AlanSchmuck]

This is a great example of an everyday hand played pretty straight forward from the caller. My only comment would be the river decision is not a auto snap call. That’s were live read, room, player profile, table dynamics all need to be considered.

[@AlanSchmuck]

Simple extreme example: Texas room, snap call. The Orleans on Tuesday morning OMC, snap fold.

[@ligafftheindifferent3495]

@@AlanSchmuck Does OMC see the flop?

[@AlanSchmuck]

@@ligafftheindifferent3495 Yes, most likely with AhKh. I see so many OMCs call with AK especially suited.

[@JohnSmith-nx7zj]

I agree it’s not a river snap call. A full pot size bet is a flush or a bluff. And I think hero has one of the worst AK combos here, since it blocks front door spades which is the obvious river bluff and unblocks hearts.

[@AlanSchmuck]

@@JohnSmith-nx7zj Good point on the obvious bluff candidate. I missed that.

[@sneakkyz3696]

I'm screaming fold to the river bet. Sure enough I was right. He's not being ace king for value on the river. Ace king is most definitely a check call. I think this one was a pretty obvious fold. What are his bluffs? Queens? Kings? Nah... those if anything would of been a block bet.

[@clownworld5474]

Looks like a 4bet fold to me 400 deep pre. 4b should be bigger 200-225 imo. Flop I would say 200-250 is alright, but Bart makes a good case for bigger sizing. UTG calling means they can't have 88/77 I agree. Shouldn't even have AQ really. Turn I'd say big bet is necessary say 600-650. Can't have 99 or JT unless complete donkey. River isn't fantastic as Axhh could easily be in range. Agree folding isn't an option, would be nice to have Ah or Kh tbh. Weird river donk. Sigh call, but quickly.. who's, opening ATs and calling a 4b cold UTG proper donk

[@JohnSmith-nx7zj]

AThh is still behind hero’s AK on the turn even though it has a lot of outs. So the check-raise would be as a semi-bluff (since any hands losing to AThh are not going to call the raise). But it seems unlikely to get through as a bluff. It’s very hard to see what nutted hands villain has here that he can represent. 99 that called a 4 bet preflop and called the A high flop with a guy left to act?

[@fevolenko3995]

What's wrong with villains play? He calls pre with royal flushing Ace. He may know utg2 usually calls so good odds. On flop he hits A and has back door str and flush draw. Hero could be cbetting KK or QQ, so he's going nowhere. On turn VILLAIN hits gin. 9h gives him both draws. Hero is way behind with KK QQ etc and way ahead with AK AQ AJ, so checking controls pot and also entices Hero to value own himself if villain gets there. He gets there and value bets. Hero calls down with AK. Nothing to see here, move along..

[@ligafftheindifferent3495]

Villain should fold AhTh against most 4-betting ranges. This hand sucks vs AQ+/TT+ and that is already a fairly loose 4 betting range for most players. As played, the Villain got into a bad spot and the deck saved him. Should the Villain fold this flop? That is a tough call, since the 4-bettor is almost certain to bet this flop with his range, but the point is that AhTh is in a tough spot, is probably behind, and is playing a very large pot. Folding AhTh here avoids all of that. This hand, as sweet as it looks, will flop a lot Axy and Txy boards and sometimes xy will be K,Q or J. None of those flops feel good vs a 4-bet. With the 4-bet AhTh is really no different than Ah4h.

[@kasra_mlg]

Royal flushing ace? LoL This logic is flawed on so many levels... pref ATs is too wide a call, when UTG and one next to act... gives huge incentive to UTG2 (who cold 3bet from UTG2, that shows strength) to 5bet squeeze... then on the river, if you think CO had KK or QQ or small Ax that checked turn, why the 90% river bet? You're only targeting and praying for CO to have strong Ax (which I agree with, but your train of thought and to some extent, CO's line doesnt align with that)... so... I can easily understand CO randomizing and mixing his turn strategy, but CO's play is too loose, too lucky...

[@johnmar6376]

4 bet pot he shouldnt have ATs. One in 9 your get a flush draw on flop then One in five you make your flush on turn.1 in 3 you make your flush by river+ when you hit your flush it is obvious.

[@fevolenko3995]

"Technically" AT is a fold to 4 bet, but these days the 4bet in pos is often pretty light, stealing with JTs QJs etc. He's blocking AA, he has straight and flush possibilities, a possible over which is 30% vs KK. Regardless my comment was meant from the point he decided to call and then his actions post flop..

Absolutely don't have to call river. Busted spades? You are hoping for chopped pot.

Yeah you’re hoping for busted spades I think, but how many combos of that are there in a 4 bet pot with As on the board and Ks in hero’s hand. I certainly don’t think it’s a snap call.

Pot was 700 and only 2000 behind, you could argue that all in on the flop would be a good play. You'd have to be losing more than around 25% of the time for it to be bad, and I dont think they have you beat that often, and there's a lot of chances they call with weaker aces

I see now, it was 500 and he bet 200. In that case maybe an overbet on the flop and shove turn would be better. He's still getting called by some Ax, and like he said I the video, it's not as if hands like JJ is calling here much anyway
