I've lost count of how many newbies I've recommended this video to. It's saved me some typing time on various forums! Very clear explanations, Jim. Nice one.

Calling is for when it doesn't make sense to fold, but it also doesn't make sense to raise. :P We can call if our odds to draw out are in line with the pot odds. Check out his pot odds video for a more in depth look at the math behind calling.

i thin k on second exmpale was mostly to protect our hand from straight draws... but ididint understand this thing with equity...could you explain it???

[@rabitozoctuikalon943]

I believe it is the same thing as what you explained

[@paulroos8658]

Is denying equity the same as betting for protection, new to the game, they sound the same but if its different?, How??

[@slimDeuce2]

Wonder the same

[@djangogeek]

What about isolation?

[@FoxyFlare1]

It sucks to bluff with valuable cards and loosing with small cards while trying to bluff

[@cjsky5822]

What about probe bets? Aren't they largely for information?

[@ThePokerBank]

Information is a bi-product of a good bet or raise...never the sole (or even majoriety) reason for betting/raising

[@cata9223]

But why not 3 bet for mixed image same as bluff 3-bets preflop what I’m saying is it raises you bluff 3 bet strength if you show your cards ? you don’t have the nuts but the street by street was strong

[@dimitrakisladasi5496]

do we have to call or fold in first example...of course yo uhave too mknwo the player but if we jujt call we give our opponents a chance to bluff us onthe river or not???

is it the voice of jake johnson???

[@jesse4011]

Can someone please explain why betting to protect a hand is a bad decision? Is it because of cold calls?

[@cata9223]

Yeah you’re exactly right people don’t always fold theres a defensive strategy people use in conjunction with pot odds it’s called MDF and refers to calling down light for huge implied odds. Sometimes the call is the strongest and surest way to get value at the table. MDF is best used sparingly as it’s risky and mostly based on player type and frequency and table dementia. At high stacks people bet to light so someone will decide to call you down before there even in a hand without you.

I love your channel, but I don't like the term 'villian' for it is defined as 'a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel' and therefore i like the term opponent better.

[@ThePokerBank]

The terms "hero" and "villain" are long-dated in poker hand discussion. The terms have a different connotation in the context of poker jargon :)
