I'm a profitable player, but these videos are super helpful. I've been thinking lately how I need to throw in more overbets for bluffs and value to bring my game to the next level. I've been realizing lately that I have been missing out on a lot of bluffing spots and a lot of value.

Flop: What's the biggest size that they raise with their strong hands but still call with their weak hands? Turn: Are they capped? River: What would I do with the inverse?

[@hungryhorsepoker]

the way

[@aaronfortune1343]

So I was watching one of these today (I think it was the OOP one) and playing on Global in another tab. Got involved in a hand, and the flop came J92 with two spades. I was well prepared.

[@aadfg0]

Be careful when the board changes. I lost ALL my money and the whole country of Montenegro because the flop came J92 with two diamonds. Couldn't figure out how to adjust.

What do you mean exactly when youre talking about them being capped?

[@TomRauhe]

I notice against a half pot size bet (which is perceived pretty strong, compared to 1/3), they still slowplay their strong stuff like sets a ton, expecting you to barrel off.

Really love the content and want to find a way to practice these thinking processes repeatedly with many kind of flop, turn, and river with any kind of hands we have. I'm just a struggling beginner.

[@hungryhorsepoker]

just made a video on what questions to ask on every street. coming soon.

[@samuraijack1371]

I think there is 1 word to describe this kind of play bet size = target strength

[@JasonHall1984]

You seem to bluff with no equity if they are capped on turn. If uncapped, do you give up or check when IP?

[@hungryhorsepoker]

the more equity we have in our hand, the less fold equity we need. the more fold equity we have, the less equity in our hand we need. if they’re completely capped, i like to go crazy with lots of ool bluffs. if they are uncapped, i don’t give up with air but i tend not to use the balls to the wall sizes and target weaker portions of their range id like to fold. check out the rivers video for more concrete examples.

[@JasonHall1984]

@@hungryhorsepoker appreciate the response!

[@lexera]

at the lowest stakes a lot of players like to check call OOP with their made flushes on turns and such. make sure you take in to account the player type on each street as well

[@hungryhorsepoker]

from everything i’ve seen this just isn’t true. we have players we coach playing in every major poker market across north america - low stakes to high stakes. if you bet small on the turn, players frequently either xr their flushes or donk the river. poker is poker is poker. low stakes isn’t some special twilight zone.

[@lance862]

Most of this is pretty good but I disagree strongly with the idea of having different value bet sizes versus Bluff sizes it's supposed to be polarized you're supposed to be mixing your Bluffs and your strong value with the same bet size an observant opponent will eat you alive on the river if you aren't polarizing your bluffs/value.

[@NPD2024]

Regarding stack depth, betting smaller on the turn with the 999. What’s to stop the converse versus a good player who will over raise with a made flush or semi bluff with the nut card and top pair stopping us from realizing our equity? Is there a situation where we cannot realize our equity? Let’s say the person knows we have 10 outs and a set, makes the flush, jams on our set; is it correct to call it off with 20% equity? Seems the determination regarding their hand strength comes from our bet and their raise. If we check the made flush card, give up the betting lead, and call their bet-then what are they putting us on? Will they bet the river with the flush, and a bluff too?

[@xGETxREKTx]

I made a bad joke aboit your tattoos a while back and i was completely wrong and out of line. You might just be the best at explaining great poker advice on youtube. So my apologies bruv

[@TimeTX]

What does capped mean?

[@hungryhorsepoker]

they cannot have the very best hands on this board because of the previous actions they have taken

[@harrycardillo8671]

A balanced player destroys this strategy,

[@hungryhorsepoker]

i agree. u play against a lot of those?

[@MaydayAggro]

I don't like the way you explained the river concept. To me, if you are trying to determine what to do with your hand, and you ask "What am I doing with the inverse?" that means you are doing the SAME as the inverse, not the opposite. It appears you are instead asking "Do I want to get all (or a good chunk of) my money in with THIS hand?" and if you are making the decision this way, your bets will be easy to pick off. The opponent just needs to determine which situation he's in: "What does hero think is the top of my range?" and "Do I have a lot of air?"

[@hungryhorsepoker]
