Big show on hustler live. Man I been playing low stakes 1,2 1,3 2,3 in LA area.. these takes are no joke... Why is rake so high?!??

[@Jealod24]

The convo on the turn: I don’t think the caller understood that you were not only factoring in the 60% equity you had on the flop, but also the ev of winning the hand outright with a fold when the villain does this crap with hands like high pockets. He made a comment about having past exp with equity ratios similar to this hand and how he didn’t do well, and that seems to have made him gun shy. The biggest issue is that many people don’t take the two secs to calculate the percentage they need to win to break even.

[@richcheckmaker]

I like the way Hero played the hand. I think the smaller 3bet is better. It puts the other guy's stack at risk without having to put his whole stack at risk necessarily. It allows the villain the opportunity to make the mistake of just calling the raise then checking back the turn allowing hero to realize his equity for cheaper. Also a non all-in 3bet there actually looks stronger than a jam and might be more likely to get a fold. I think this is a good creative play by hero.

[@pokertroll320]

Ripping it all in is actually the lower variance play. If he continues, he’s almost always going to put you all in anyway. So the only way you’re reducing the variance is by increasing the chance that he folds, which is done by jamming.

[@dylonchafin8983]

I am always jamming here as well. But it does bring an interesting thought experiment about fold equity. The idea that betting more = more fold equity stands true in most spots obviously. But here specifically if you 4 bet a bit bigger to say $1350 it can almost look stronger, you are clearly committing yourself and also them since they understand the rest is going in no matter what, plus the potential added fold equity of it looking like a please call me bet. Might actually generate more folds from overpairs that way. Meta/leveling game for sure. Def was not the callers logic but could actually be optimal when playing humans vs computers

[@KeanuReaver]

Exactly. I think a lot of people over value not having to show their cards. If opponent jams instead then opponent shows first, so if op doesn't hit he won't have to show his cards.

[@WillPage]

This was definitely my first thought, and my second, and my third. Devils advocate: I was thinking about this, and if you were someone like a Hellmuth, making it 1100 just might be a long term chip saving strategy. Think about it, if the op calls 1100, he will then be likely wanting to get to showdown, as he must think there is a great chance he is beaten. If hero doesn't improve, he can save several hundred dollars. This is assuming of course that the op recognises 1100 is effectively an all in. I think the op folded thinking it was effectively an all in, and the bet might even look stronger (a bluff or semi-bluff is always jamming). If you think about it, it seems as though the raise is an attempt to keep the op in the hand - which is scarier. This flop lends itself to a lot of draws. It doesn't sound as though the hero was thinking this way, but in effect there might be some (only some) merit to it. I would jam myself, but I might consider a bet that looks like a disguised jam against a thinking player in certain spots.

[@WillPage]

@@dylonchafin8983 Ha. I hadn't seen this reply but just commented the same thing. It looks less semi-bluffy as a large raise that is effectively an all in.

[@nuklearwinter2892]

Jamming and getting the opponent to fold a hand like JJ-AA is a huge win. The raise to 1100 worked but for the wrong reasons. It likely looked incredibly strong to the opponent as a nutted hand rather than a draw.

To the hero: if you happen to read this comment, listen to this entire segment again. Listen to it several times, and try really hard to forget your preconceived notions while doing so.

I am new to poker, so forgive me if this is obvious or incorrect, but a recent strategy I have come to employ is to try to get the money in when I have the most equity. In other words, in this specific situation, unless I hit one of my draws, the equity of my draws is only going to decrease on the Turn. So I should get it all in now when I have the most equity. Does that make sense?

[@glennhagstedt]

thats exactly right.

[@keithdunlap]

@@aheroictaxidriver3180 Sorry. I should have been clearer, I am assuming the other conditions are right, as you describe, and that raising puts Villain's likely range/holding in a tough spot, denying Villain equity, etc. I agree that Villain almost definitely has the best hand here. (I do hand reading exercises every day. On every flop I go through a quick calculation of how many sets, two pair, top pair and draws Villain's likely range can have on the given texture before I take an action.) But still Hero likely has the most equity his holding is going to have at this juncture. So, I think, getting the money in now on the flop makes the most sense, if that is the play, rather than waiting for a Turn card which will likely shift the equities more in Villain's favor. . Perhaps my "thinking is all wrong." But I am doing okay overall. Still playing on my original five dollar deposit and almost tripled my bankroll in about 100,000 hands. But thank you for your advice, your consideration, and your civility in taking the time to correct a perceived misunderstanding on my part. I truly appreciate your help.

While I would always jam here (which is the right play) I do actually think the min click can look even stronger and potentially generate more folds from overpairs which is a huge win. More of a psyc game at that point, you’ve clearly committed yourself so from the villains perspective you should have the same fold equity with the added look of a please call me bet

[@analogmike1534]

Sure, but you’re tempting them to call more often with the smaller bet. And if they call and you hit on the turn you’re almost never getting called for the rest. Jamming maximizes fold equity & also maximizes profit when villain calls and you get there.

[@nicks210684]

Interesting point. And possibly some truth to it. But the caller didn’t sell it like that. He was clearly holding back due to being scared money rather than thinking that better smaller actually looked even stronger.

[@michaelstephens9852]

@John Megahan The term itself-derived from the post oak, a smallish tree of little commercial value-often carries derogatory connotations and it is frequently seen as a weak play, as the player takes the overcautious approach by not betting too much.

The key point is, that hero loses all the EV gained from folds, if he only calls or backraises the flop too small. Ofc he wants his villain to fold overpairs to get free 1k, which surely happens a lot If he jams there. If he gets called hes flipping. The flop jam is literally the most must thing in this hand. There is no alternative. Happily for hero, the villain probs assumed that the Hero is supernutted there, as most of the recs use small raises in such boards, when they are supernutted. So ye, 1,1k isn't ultimately bad sizing choice, because it could actually gain more folds than 1.7k jam. Even it doesn't make any sense mathematically.

So the guy says he raised to $1100 but then if the guy rejammed he would have called anyways because his odds would be so good. Wow. Someone needs to explain that jamming not only increases fold equity over raising to $1100, but if you’re going to call a raise regardless, then just jam. Your odds are 60%, and he said multiple times that he’s been in a similar situation and lost, but that just shows he doesn’t understand odds. Having 60% doesn’t mean you’ll win every time, it means you’ll win 60% of the time. So by making this jam consistently you will have a positive ev. And what Bart was trying to explain that you just don’t look at the 60% but also the ev of him folding outright on the flop. Take a second to calculate the odds needed to break even after your jam, then think “if I hit I my flush I beat all his value hands, and if I hit my straight I’m still ahead of a lot of value”..: easy jam. Leaving money behind shows he wasn’t confident in the hand and is massively exploitable for anyone paying attention… and lastly, even though he said he would have called if the guy came over the top and jammed his $1100 raise, let’s be honest, he would have been scared of the draw missing and folded

For this scared-money hero, a fold at least takes it down and reduces variance, and his bet did achieve that result which he strongly desired.

It's amazing how many times people fear getting raised as if villain can see your hand. Every consecutive raise gets exponentially more rare. If someone 5 bets you you are HAPPY to get "blown off" your hand because you're facing AAs or KKs at that point. And truth be told villain smooth calling those hands might actually empty your pockets more than the 4 bet would have so be grateful. Most of the time you will get folds or calls don't worry about outliers (unless you're against a maniac).

[@ireneeb6592]

How can you play Queens like that, holy cow ^^

[@rileygrill2369]

Yep as soon as I saw the 450 re-raise I would have snapped it all in. A re-raise with red queens is a terrible play.

[@rockwithyou2006]

The red queens was targetting the MP who made a weak ass bet on the flop. And the red queens guy did not think Sam had anything big here, because of how pussified he is by just calling 120 on the flop at the cutoff. Not as terrible as it might seem after seeing the hands.

[@meadydoheny]

The % of times opponent has a hand he'll FOLD "Fold Equity"

[@joshp4233]

You know

[@Mathemagical55]

Someone did this to me just today with red queens on 235 but struggled to beat my A4 after we got it in.

[@Rob.P.]

Sam just jam it!!!!.. lol Sam sounds so scared 🤑💰 money!!!

[@Twinkieboy333]

For the times he has 43cc kjc kqcc and he just calls, and it goes check check on a blank turn and then blank river when he shoves ans yoj fold “ I missed all my outs again “ that’s legit a disaster

[@paulthompson9668]

So 18 minutes to basically confirm my instincts that a flush and straight draw on the flop means put all your money in. lol

[@josephcorrente8484]

You know? You know…. you know…..NO I don’t friggin know, why don’t ya tell me

[@xForbin99]

Idk how you could control yourself from piling money in with that hand when mp1 bets the flop lol

[@brennanpizer5004]

Wonder what the guy with queens does if "hero" rips like he's supposed to. Is there ever such a thing as raise/fold here for the QQ hand? Don't think so, but I'm asking because I'm not sure. If he folds to the odd click back not all in, does he still fold to a jam? QQ made mistakes, and so did hero IMHO. QQ should just be 100% call, never raise, correct?

[@nickjunes]

The caller forgets that winning is still winning even if you don't play out the hand. Always win when you can unless you're 1,000% sure you can walk the dog. You can get burned more often if you slow play everything.

[@JiveDadson]

How many times did he say, you know, "you know"?

[@pokerrp6249]

The 2 villains have either AK, AQ suited, AA, KK, QQ, JJ, or TT which you block to this is a jam because he meant think your bluffing and call you . You have over 61% Equity over Everything but AA . They can’t call a 4 bet that large at micro stacks with 77, 88, or 99 and there is nothing else it could be .

[@evrenturan5632]

Love your content! Just jam bro!

[@williamzagarella8066]

I dont mind the play solely because it look RIDICULOUSLY strong. Looks like its never a bluff. This might be the best way to maximize fold equity and not make It look like a draw.

[@chrissoderberg4623]

You know, you know, you know

[@rockwithyou2006]

basically the caller is willing to lose this pot thereby saving 680$ dollars for himself. Genius.

[@mattbarnes128]

I mean call we all agree the hero is just playing scared. It's really hard to have the nuts when you get it all in . Sometimes you gotta JAM baby!!

[@Nick-fc9xy]

If villain literally shows you Js10s do you still jam? I would assume no but just wondering. Do you even call?

[@rudistorm3348]

You should play this the same way you would play top set. That way your range is more balanced, I think Bart is completely right.

[@gordonbelle1375]

Yes we know, you know

[@emphatically]

how many times did the other guy say “like i said”??😂😂

[@emphatically]

or “you know”

[@Godwad]

My entire reason for listening is so I can know something that I don’t already know.

[@nathanh8355]

Stop saying you know. NO YOU DON’T KNOW.

[@xanderlinde8746]

I’m min back raising and shoving all turns

[@robertshirkey3758]

He didn’t shove after the check raise because he was worried about losing his stack.... it’s a money issue. If he had the right bankroll, he would confidently go all in. Just my guess because I can’t see any other reason why he wouldn’t shove there.

[@ChrisM-wv4gs]

brings up another question why do people keep playing in games they cant afford to play in

[@SSky06]

This was brutal to listen to. If you're worried about putting it all-in here because "I've seen too many times the draw not come in" then just quit poker. Seriously, no sarcasm, no insult. The game isn't meant for people who can't understand that you can lose 100 coin flips in a row and it doesn't change the fact that the odds are still what they are, and if you're unwilling to utilize fold equity when you have it you should find a different game to play. It's even more ridiculous when he starts off the call talking about how he is playing at this casino because they let you buy-in for 200bbs at the 1/3 and then proceeds to play scared with his stack size. This is just a simple, straightforward hand for everyone EXCEPT someone who is very inexperienced or just doesn't have the bankroll for the game he's in/is worried about losing the money he has on the table.

[@AtmagyaniSunilji]

If opponents JAM than I may think that the reason for jamming is the opponent is on Draw. Putting 1100 can make me think that opponent already has a straight or set and is betting 1100 which I may see it as value bat and fold if I have over pair. But if someone jams than I am sure that the opponents wants me to fold as he is on Draw. If you want opponent to fold the bet of 1100 is better than jaming.

[@evankraabel5415]

If villain has KK sometimes on the flop, then isnt it much better to just call his raise, with position? We dont want him to fold KK, we want him to bet again on the turn to get him all in. Shoving the flop only serves to fold out a lot of the stuff we really want to keep in. I think shoving flop only makes sense if we dont have position for the turn bet.

[@guybrushthreepwood8174]

That is such a pretty flop for this hand

[@billconklin9222]

“Y’Know?”

[@bradsmith7498]

Who wants to turn "ya know" into a drinking game? I have to warn you I'm from Wisconsin, ya know.
