In this video, Arronwilson reviews several turbo and hyper turbo hands that he played against strong regs. Arron's focus in this video is to discuss his understanding of how his opponents play certain spots and also his understanding of how his opponents may perceive his own range. With the five hands reviewed, Arron analyzes in detail and demonstrates how his reasoning regarding the above themes leads to his decisions in the various scenarios that are covered.
Good video.
Like all hands except the last one, Q9o. I really dislike that shove on the river. I think your hand is too strong to bluff there. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't feel right to me.

Thanks. Its not a play I would try readless, this was a reg I know is very good and capable of folding medium value if i rep a very strong line and I think we can fold out his weak king and jack x the times we are slightly beat given we can have a flush here with the line i took. Most regs in my experience aren't betting this river balanced with that sizing so i expect that sizing for value to be king or jack x and be bet folding river.
I expect his flushes to bet more than half pot and more in the region of 2/3 pot to 3/4 pot. Its very possible he just had air but I think the times he does have king or jack x its a very tough call for him and if he is thinking about what my range is in that spot which i know he is or i would not of made that play I think he will realize its really hard for me to have air and should not expect me to turn a pair into a bluff.
Hello Arron, great video and nice read on villians bet sizing. I enjoy your analytical approach very much. I have sent you a PM in your inbox if i could take 2 minutes of your time.
Thanks for your answer.
I would never consider such a play but I occasionally see other people doing it. I must say that I'm surprised every time I see that, so wanted to know what was your reasoning.
I cant really decide if it's good or not, but I guess that villain has to fold a lot of hands for this move to be profitable. All top pair hands and probably even some 2 pair combinations. Some people would fold 2 pair here but many would not...
If his value range doesn't have any hands stronger than top pair, as you say, than it might be ok I guess... but that's a very good read then...

Even tho, u hide villains screennames, isn't it very likely that they look this site at least once a week with them being husng regs, I mean, would u do
for example the same river BLUFF shove again vs the same reg given the fact that there's a gud chance he's seen that u're capable of turning sd hands in2 bluffs??
also, my guess is u would also shove over his river bet with a straight or better hand rite??
Finally, on the same hand, with ur reasoning doesn't it make sense to shove over his river bet as well with almost all of ur holdings?? (I mean with ur Jx, Ax or other weak hands with sd value and ofc also with no sd value hands), as you will probly fold out all of his single paired hands. u think this is correct??

Its possible he may of watched the video but he will never know for sure that the hand is vs him and that he is a player I give credit for being capable of bet folding medium strength value in that spot.
This spot is unique and comes up so infrequent were regs are creative enough to turn their pair into a bluff that he (as a good reg thinking about hand ranges and not who wont stubborn call me based on curiosity) just has to sigh fold top or 2nd pair or he would just be paying people off way too much making it a really unprofitable rivercall for him.
I could probably bluff that spot with no showdown but its hard for me to get to the river with air hands as there is too many variables to take into consideration and i would need all of them to come together to make it profitable.
Thanks for vid, keep em coming:)
Ty ganjabond. If you and other members like this kind of video I am happy to make more similar ones.
Hi Arron,
Nice vid ;) This what you are doing with Q9o in last hands is the process of range merging right?
Hi Mypokertravel. See my other comments above to see my thought process on that hand. Its not a merge range as I don't expect him to call with worse, so its more hand reading our ranges and turning my hand into a bluff to fold out the hands that slightly beat me sometimes as he realizes this isn't a spot I should have air and also wont expect me to turn my medium showdown into a bluff so has to bet fold everything but a flush and by his betsizing I dont expect him to have flush in that spot. Again, this is only a play I would make against a reg thinking on a deeper level and capable of bet folding top and 2pair when I rep a flush with this line which he will see being very credible with how i played the hand.
