Join Jonathan Little and PokerCoaching coach Tristan Wade as they discuss a poker hand that Tristan played during a $3,000 World Series of Poker No Limit Hold'em Freezeout Tournament.
Jonathan and Tristan talk about how you can identify the skill level of your opponents. Listen to how they talk about poker, this is a great indicator of where they are at in terms of their ability & understanding of the game. Even determining whether a player is a recreational or a professional is extremely helpful as you will know whether they are going to be more prone to making mistakes or not.
Jonathan talks about the merit of using larger bet sizes against recreationals that are not thinking in terms of bet size but more whether their hand is a call or fold when facing a bet. When you have strong value hands against these types of opponents you should use a larger bet size. With your weaker holdings and bluffs you want to bet using a small size if you do decide to bet.
When it is easy for your opponent to have a lot of draws then you should be more inclined to keep betting for value in order to maximize your earnings from their hand. They may not bluff on the river if they miss, in which case you have missed lots of value if you miss a bet on the flop or turn against these opponent's draws.
Both Jonathan and Tristan dissect a very strange overbet lead on the river and agree that it generally means one of two things from a recreational player. Either they have an extremely strong hand that they want to get value from, or they have a busted draw that knows it cannot win at showdown.
This poker hand starts with a standard open from Tristan in the cutoff with QJo around 50 big blinds effective. The small blind a fairly ABC recreational player calls off a similar stack. Both players head to a flop of Qc 9s 5h giving Tristan top pair. After the small blind checks, Tristan opts for a small 33% size of 3,000 into the 9,000 pot. His opponent calls and they both see a 2d on the turn. After the small blind checks to Tristan he decides to size up to a 66% size on the turn and bets 10,000 into 15,000. His opponent is still undeterred and makes the call as they head to the 6c. This is where this poker hand becomes interesting as Tristan's opponent now decides to lead for 40,000 into the 35,000 pot. Will Tristan make the hero call to find out if his top pair is good? Watch this poker video to find out!
