Would YOU Make this TYPICAL 25NL Mistake?

[@sanderbrouwer91]

The lead of a fish with J8s is almost always draw or middle made hand (a weak kicker or middle pair). They check raise their two pair plus almost always. I think this is a great spot for a big (~8x) raise.

[@Mathemagical55]

Hand 1 (AsAh): If villain's range is polarised (can you have three poles?) then why would we check-raise if they bet small? In any case, solvers have taught us that villain should never bet small when we check river. Players may do it but the optimal line can't rely on a mistake. Just block-betting the river ourselves loses a bit of value when they have a good flush but hoovers up far more from weaker hands.

another great video. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Mikel, Thanks for this session. If you need some good free Preflop GTO ranges just let me know. The last hand (22) you can bluff it with your specific hand on the river when the board is extremely wet. If the fish has an very high VPIP and is big bet size is somewhat the standard i would also call the flop

[@SmallsMWL]

Hey there Dennis, thanks for the insights! As for the preflop ranges I got my hands on the carrot corner ones, so I guess it's just about putting in the time with them for me. GLHF out there!

[@dennisje2925]

@ cool. They are priobably more or less the same. Pete seems to indicatie the same hands to call/fold as on the one i have. Good luck with your Journey!!

[@fabiosoares6474]

finish the hands!! what happened to the first one??

[@Kyriakoskarystinos]

33:51 opponent's range made no sense but is check raising a good option there ?

[@emtothedee]

Pure fold in theory

[@founik]

Villain could play his overpairs in this manner. I used to raise on these boards like crazy. Sure, it worked couple times, but decent amount of time I got 3bet OTF, or shoved on OTT.

[@pechka9111]

I play 100nl. Should I leave this 25nl only space?

[@highwaymoses]

yes. you are not welcome here.

[@dennisje2925]

100nl players dont deserve to play the game

[@emtothedee]

As played 22 has about 50% equity on the river. Too much to bluff with and not enough to value bet with.

[@TH94191]

GL Mikel would just recommend playing more and gaining experience 25NL is very beatable on stars pool is quite nitty post flop. People will also overcall your 3bet and under 4bet. This is just a nugget of information for you 😃

[@SmallsMWL]

Hey there, thanks! I'll keep these in mind. GLHF out there!

[@emiliopokerYT]

I heard one time in a real that a 4 card flush board is very underbluffed.

[@TH94191]

It is for continuous aggression, but not so with scattered aggression.

[@HighStakesPokerReplays]

Leets Gooo!

How are there not more views on these videos? Hands down the best free content online.

[@Guill3rm0man]

People actually still do play starcraft2

[@ekw555]

but . . . I have actually played a few sessions of 100nl . . . . recently.

[@jaoh3655]

In my Pokerstars pool there is no 25nl… it’s 30nl…

[@Tony-0-0-0]

In my PLO pool we dont have 2 cards, its 4.

[@johnvalentine8941]

@@Tony-0-0-0 on fridays i have 2 fish with my chips instead of 1, i know crazy right?

[@victorcosta4224]

Why don’t u play 8 handed anymore ?

[@iaincoe]

How do people feel about bluff check raising the pocket 2s. That 7 high board seems like it hits us more that the opponent and we have the flush blocker (as much as a 2 ever can be). I think that line would look a lot like a set all of which we have in range and we also have more flush draws if another diamond hits. If the opponent continues or plays back easy fold and we deny equity and avoid getting bluffed off. May be not against big bet as we have here but at a low frequency I think this could be profitable.

[@Pokerpete]

Not enough info to give a you a solid answer so I’ll input my own… If you know the player is a capable reg then bluff raising 22 on a board that in theory should be better for us is torching money. Villain being a capable reg would also constitute him having the same understanding that you’re trying to capitalize on. If villain bets that board with the same theory you are using then he should be very strong. If villain isn’t a capable reg and calls your raise you are forced to give up turn on most cards in the deck anyway. 647dd connects with so many hands. 56s, 78s, 910 has a gutter, flush draws over plus open ended etc. most people, capable reg or not will peel drawing to the nuts/second nuts. There are not many brick turns to barrel. All around losing check raise.

[@Mathemagical55]

Your value range is tiny so it would be easy to overbluff here. I think 22 has enough showdown value and you should bluff with jack-high type hands.

[@NoLongerGrilling]

This guy is worse than the 5nl guy. They both should be playing the inverse stakes 😆
