Avoid This Mistake That Gets You Stacked Every Time!

[@CrushlivePoker]

What do you think about this block bet sizing? GTO nerds and trolls, let's hear your opinions.

[@YoshiBugatti]

I would’ve checked river…

[@santosallday25]

This was misplayed on every street. Trapping to induce wins the least and loses the most (when they have KK beat) especially against a 1-3 player. Hero doesn’t want to bet earlier and smaller; ok then guess if you want to call a bigger size later. Dyslexic.

Bart might be the best KZbinr out there reacting to poker hands and thoughts of a poker hand 😂

[@bomblade15]

I don't understand the "he limped so this board doesn't hit him." Why wouldn't it?

The fold on turn would've been correct here imo. The sizing on the turn was very big. Like Bart said, it's Qx+ for value. Q9 is there, 99 is there (if he's truly passive, which he's not), 44 is there, and 77 is there. At the *turn*, KK is not beating a ton of value. At the *turn*, Villain would need to find more than just some semibluff Ax flush draw hands to bluff with, especially at that sizing. It would be fine if the turn bet was closer to $130, but $250 has weight to it. KK is very low in Villain's value range and needs Villain to be overbluffing the turn to make it a profitable call

I think hero’s pre-flop raise sizing was very standard, especially being out-of-position. I think Bart generally goes with smaller sizing pre-flop than most poker sites recommend. It’s live poker, people tend to call more often pre-flop with weak hands.

[@andywarhaul12]

Perhaps @crushlivepoker can correct me if I’m wrong but Bart is very much oriented to maximizing getting money in the middle when holding a premium like KK, and I would bet that the stats lean towards more 3bets coming from live players to smaller open, and a the fold equity from opponents being slightly higher with bigger opens. Therefore by opening smaller the odds of getting more money in from lesser hands 3 betting is higher than not? Could be wrong, again sometimes the bane of live casual players existence is them not being active or aggressive enough and have too low a rate of 3bets

[@supersmoo7377]

Villain also has some 9X of diamonds hands on the river that can be turned into bluffs. (They turn flush draws).

[@YoshiBugatti]

I was screaming pocket 9’s or 4’s this entire video. Even a “rec” (as the caller puts it) isn’t playing the hand like this without the nuts.

[@italianwaterice9594]

had he started off betting and not checking, he could have gotten away from it

[@monsweko]

I’m generally not a live reads guy, but the instant river jam in this spot would have me thinking seriously about a fold. I liked the river card a lot because I thought 44 was the most likely V holding until then, and I would have led River for value (larger, maybe all-in), but as played by hero what hand other than 99, 77 or 44 is insta-jamming? Not QJ etc.

[@atfti]

That's what I was thinking too. The turn bet gave the momentum for the final push, it was clear to see. If I smelled a river shove coming, it indicates he's polarizing his range, and I don't think there are enough bluffs on this board to mask the chance he's value betting.

[@lewisriddle5859]

After betting 250 on the turn, I don't think he's ever checking back the river. I don't like calling bets. I prefer making the villian to make a bad call. He's always raising a set @ some point to let the hero off the hook

[@eetuhalonen9902]

What's going on with all the checking on the flop with overpairs? It's so bad. Classic fancy play syndrome. When you have a very good hand against loose live players just value bet pretty big and you print money.

[@NefariousMinds]

The mistake here was not the checking out of position, which is a very standard play. The mistake was not check raising the flop.

[@NefariousMinds]

Checking the flop out of position was not the mistake here. This is a very standard play. The mistake here was not check raising the flop.

[@evrenturan5632]

Why are you posting old videos as new?

[@KenDavis-uo8kq]

Did Bart get fired at the airport?

[@Samscoinsandheavymetal]

Fancy play and the logic on each street seemed totally backwards. In my experience when a guy bets big on the turn like that he's much more prone to protecting his top pair type hand against hearts or a river ace

[@atfti]

Then they all brick and the turn sizing let's him jam. If he wanted those Qx hands to get value, he would've bet bigger on the turn. Hero was hoping Villain would overvalue his top pair (especially given the big raise pre), and immediately deviated from GTO to exploit what he thought Villain would do, without actually seeing what Villain does. He made an assumption about a 1/3 player, who may be a rec, sure. But the rec mistook the table for 1/3 and a) still chose to play, b) bought in for what would be more than necessary at his target table, and c) has no problem playing short stacked. Villain's flop probe was probably surprising to him. He wanted to see how much Hero would polarize himself on the flop and made a tester bet. Hero just called. Again, Villain is short stacked, he's not going to have a hard time getting it all in. He double barrels the turn, which immediately gives danger signs. Even if he was bluffing the flop with the probe and intended to fold to a flop jam (which he wouldn't because he's got 44), there aren't enough bluffs that barrel on this board for that sizing on the turn. Qx definitely bets turn if he thinks Hero is overcalling with hands that like to play big pots, like a missed AK, but the turn should fold those hands too. Pretty much, Hero played this hand almost entirely incorrectly. Preflop is 80% of the set up, but post flop principle is key. Especially the idea of maintaining the betting lead you've acquired unless a tangible event signals otherwise. The assumption he was a loose passive 1/3 player is not relevant to the fact he seized upon Hero's deviation.
