Love it. Bart, if played your way and you 3-bet it on the flop, villain calls, turn goes check-check, how do you play the river? Call a small bet, fold to a jam? Folding to a jam seems exploitable unless you sometimes check back the ace of clubs on turn.

Hero’s large bet sizes on the turn and river were his undoing. It made him feel he was committed whilst also setting villain up nicely for the jam and telegraphing his hand.

[@davids4063]

Also making it increasingly difficult for his opponent to pay him off with worse.

[@tom-qj6uw]

"Hero’s large bet sizes on the turn and river were his undoing" I kind of disagree. Due to the large bet sizes he could and should have easily folded the river. Had hero bet only 100 on the river ( and then villain pushes) hero could level himself into calling whereas now he knows (or should know) that he is beat!

Why would you check raise bluff the river in a low stakes game? Everyone checks back their thin value hands so when you do face a river bet, half the time it's the stone nuts and you'll get snap called, and the other half the time, he's bluffing you, so you would only need to check raise bluff to get him off king high when you have jack high. But if that's your plan, better to bet yourself since there's no guarantee he's going to bluff you with the best hand.

[@hymnofashes]

Hero had the chance to save his money on the river. But the interesting part is how his hand plays against the other parts of his opponent's range. Against sets, overpairs, 2 pairs, he's losing value by not 3-betting the flop. Against worse flushes, losing value by not 3-betting the flop. Against the stiff ace of clubs, losing value and protection by not 3-betting the flop. With 2 suited cards you only flop a flush 1 in 100 times. With 2 fewer clubs it's less than that. And as another commenter noted, the big AX of clubs are 3-bet for sure, it's just really unlikely that both players flopped a flush, god bless him. Get the money in on the flop, yeah, you're losing to the tippy top of your opponent's get it in on the flop range but you're crushing the rest of that range, all sets, all overpairs, all top pairs with the ace of clubs, all stiff ace of clubs.

[@positivethinker1234]

I was the villian in hand. Once the 4th club came, I was pretty sure he had a big club that he was going to bet and hopefully call with. I raise the flop to build the pot and to give other flushes, sets, etc a chance to raise me back. I'm only bluffing there when I think he has a club that cant call all in. Once he bets 300 on river never I'm never bluffing.I hit quads the hand before and I think hero may have thought two nuts in a row? Either way a cooler, Don't think it was a terrible call but in hind sight pretty obvious I have the nuts.

Horrible call by him. Like Bart said, 4 clubs on the board and isn't paired. Never in my life have I seen a bluff played like that on a board like that. And yes, youre obvious as all hell.

[@robertw8897]

How does it feel to be a villain? lol.......I keep thinking to myself as the hero, what can my opponent have? The Q is on the table, I have the K. So, for my opponent to bluff off his entire stack, he has to have at best the Jack.......would my opponent really bluff off his entire stack with the A and K out there and me betting the entire way? I might have played the hand in a similar fashion to the hero up until the river check. I would have checked back figuring you had the A of clubs, and being quite ok with taking down a good pot and not getting the maximum if you don't.......either way, I avoid getting jammed on when I don't have the nuts........but as you said, the hand with quads prior might have influenced his decision making too.

I can't remember the last time someone has showed me a check raise bluff on the river aside from an extreme action player. Even if he min raised me on this river I mighta folded.

[@jamesmorphe8003]

check back the river, only move possible.

[@andya7964]

In order to call this bet, you have to think he has lower flush or sets or something along those lines that he's turning into a bluff, or maybe drastically over valuing a queen high flush I guess, and that hands like that are at least 27% of his range.

[@andya7964]

And on top of this being a classic underbluffed spot, we've played our hand exactly like you'd play the but flush. So its hard to imagine him wanting to bluff that much.

[@hughtoob9940]

Why not check the turn? Save money versus the Ac, maybe get looser calls on the river or maybe even pick off a weird bluff. Free cards are probably not a big risk after the turn. How often does he have two pair on 952, even versus the button min-raise? He probably doesn't flat 99 very often. He check-raised small on the flop too. That seems weighted towards flushes and the Ac. He might call small twice with a lower flush, but you could just bet bigger on the river and get the same value.

After watching this, I'm thinking going forward I'm just going to check my King high flushs down, and fold to a insane over bet.

In your stated approach here, would it matter if the board is 3-flush vs. 4-flush? (I'm relatively inexperienced compared to most who watch and comment here, so it's a genuine question for you and anyone else). When I'm on the river and the board is 3-flush, then I'm feeling much better about my king-high flush than if there are 4 on the board (even though in this example, I'd have been toast either way).

[@Eighthousand]

@@jvandyck87 I'm going to use this same scenario going forward, because it didn't matter if it was a three card or four card flush, he was still beat, and they both flopped it. To be honest you have get your reads on, and just know you don't have the nuts if the board runs out like this.

[@williamr4053]

@@Eighthousand sometimes winning the minimum and/or losing the minimum is not always a bad thing. Sometimes the board just doesn’t run out in a way to where you can get max value, it’s just max pain. I’m okay with all of the hero’s bets, until the river. Here’s my thoughts, any set is check calling hoping they can see a cheap river to hope to pair the board and any middling club just sigh folds. With the hero betting on the river, the hands I just described would fold anyways, due to lack of showdown value (set losses to any club) and only A of club calls/raises you on that river, so hero donated $900 that he didn’t have to. There’s a strong likelihood that villain leads out for $300 and hero could either sigh call/fold. The call of the check raise is just an unnecessary donation. Those are the hands that truly make a difference in our poker sessions. Villain got a massive payoff and hero made a massive punt.

[@kevinsabko7011]

I 100% agree with check check on the turn with the 4th club becaues weather you have the Ac or not it's an action killer plus you are essentually forcing the villain into a smaller bet for value and if you call which i think you do 90% of the time your not being stacked by a single card.

[@timwilson4636]

Dig the new graphics, Bart. Don’t think we didn’t notice 😉. Great analysis as always!

[@jwkreid]

The minraise is a problem because it brings in all kinds of Ax hands, like Bart said. Middling suited aces like Ac8c makes sense. Having said that, as played, checking turn is standard, checking the river however, means the opponent must put the caller on a hand he cannot fold to a jam. Would a player call the all in with top 2? A set maybe? We know players on average won't be folding broadway strength 4 flushes.

[@michaelmulvania6060]

I put villain on the ace of clubs on the flop so once the 4th clubs comes i'm checking all the way down with the intention of folding to any bet.

[@luisbenites4825]

Putting villian on ONE hand on the flop may not be the best poker strategy

[@mjriemen]

@@luisbenites4825 I agree, ranging an opponent on one specific hand or card is not the best idea. The SB is calling with any suits cards, so he can easily have a smaller flush. I think any flush, even the nut low flush will check raise the flop. The caller played it well on the flop since most strong hands will look to check raise, so his hand is actually fairly disguised and any flush will check raise his $20 lead. On the river though… not betting that much and VERY begrudgingly folding to the check raise. Its a spot thats never bluffed and we’ve already been check raised once in the hand already.

[@nicks210684]

You’re checking behind on the turn AND then folding to any bet on the river? That seems too nitty. You’ve way underrepped your hand at that point. If the turn goes check-check and villain bets a reasonable amount you have to call it off in case villain is betting the Jc/Tc and trying to get a cry call from worse.

[@michaelmulvania6060]

@@nicks210684 The Jc/ TC is a bluff catcher. He's not value betting. He's only betting with the ace of clubs or a bluff and he's never bluffing into me who could easily be holding the nuts or the K of clubs which i have. So it;s a pretty trivial fold.

I actually see this pretty often, and with worse hands. Something like 87s flops a flush, and then there's a four-to-a-flush card on the river and they will pay off a lot more than if they had say A8o with 8 as their flush card. I think it's a similar mechanism as with not letting AA go on a board with four-to-a-straight or flush.

@14:00 "How could he bluff here. If he doesn't have the A of clubs he just can't do it". I sympathize with this mentality but you have to understand many villains KNOW THIS which suddenly makes a bluff possible because if YOU the hero have, say, 10 clubs or even J clubs you might fold. People aren't always worried that they're beat. They SHOULD be but everyone just doesn't play that way. There was a pretty famous hand between Daniel Negreneau and Tom Dwan. Tom had the nuts, a full house and Daniel shoved on the river. Tom snap called and when Daniel saw his hand he said "Ah, that's the hand I was repping". So here villain could shove without the nuts simply repping it. If you don't have the A of clubs in your hand you have to fold. Nonetheless I'm definitely folding here and Hero did this to himself he should have made a huge reraise on the flop. A flopped flush is such an underrepped hand almost nobody is giving you credit for that hand. But another club would either kill your action or kill you.

[@paulpena5040]

Actually looking back now this is just a straight fold. What I said would only apply if hero had checked the river or bet small. But betting $300 on that river - only a complete maniac would shove.

I would have led out as well, it hides that you hit the flush. It would look like you had a pair or a flush draw.

The game is truly maddening. If the Button never makes his goofy min raise and just folds, this hand never happens. The blinds just chop. Both the SB and BB are calling $5 with basically any two, and of course they flop the nuts and the second nuts. Its wild. A friend of mine likes to say “the cards are very mysterious” I have to agree. These spots happen way more than one would think they should.

[@adamseidel9780]

My reaction as Bart is explaining his flip play: there’s almost no way the SB can have the but flush on the flop. Anything suited A10+ is getting three bet PF and most the other suited aces are getting 3 bet PF against the min click too. MAYBE the SB just calls with a baby ace wheel draw, but there’s only two combos of those left and 3 other mid club aces available at any rate. The overwhelming majority of Ac left here is unsuited and that hand is a trivial raise for the SB. Gotta attack.
