@ 25:00 when you turn trips on left table, why not donk turn since u say he will most likely check back turn?
great video btw, hope to see you do more.
Borg7 says:
My perceived range will be very strongly weighted towards Kx if I donk-bet the turn after check/calling flop. I have close to zero non-Kx hands in my perceived range that will take this line. For this reason, I don't believe that I can extract two more streets of value (turn+river) from Jx/9x/... which is why I planned on checking turn and betting river. When I check turn and bet river, I'll get a fair amount of light calls on alot of rivers because my range is really wide at that point.
If you want me to elaborate any further or answer any other questions, please let me know.

Great vid!
At ~06:24 you say "so i asume he is that type of player who is gonna flat my 3bets with alot of pairs", would folding small pp's be better then calling vs a 3bet?
Also thats exactly what i had fwiw
Borg7 says:
@hejhopp: Thank you. :)
I'd recommend jamming small pocket pairs pre over 3bets against an opponent who has a wide 3betting range pre flop. It's going to be largely +EV if you have alot of fold equity. In addition, it'll be super tough to play those hands post flop when you only call as there are so few boards that you can continue on.
I just checked the video and 6:24 minutes into it, I had a 3bet% of 42% which obviously doesn't reflect my true 3bet% but regardless of that, you have to perceive me as someone who has a pretty wide 3bet range at that point. For that reason, it would've been much better to jam small pocket pairs over my 3bets at that point imo.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask me!

Hope you will still read this, altough the video is over a month ago posted :)
In the first hand on the right, the A6s at 00:45, you cbet A6on a QJ4r flop.
Would you do this against all players (unknowns) ?
It seems to mee you are only getting action of Qx, Jx, 4x and some draws. So checking behind and going for showdown value seems like a good alternative.
And what if villian is a fish (say -8% roi or something), would you then check back?
Also, how did you get the little buttons with ''2.5 BB'', ''Max'' preflop and ''50%'' and ''pot'' postlfop?

What reason for checking back 2nd pair on Turn and call/fold on River play?
3.04 KT on JT7s flop you bet flop and check Turn and said that u will bet River if he check it. But u losing value from his drows and 2nd pair with worse kicker. Why not get value at Turn instead of checking - your hand is strill vulnerable.
5.05 u bet QJ2s flop w J7 and checked back turn and fodled at 90 bet on River. But u said that its definetily value bet flop, Turn didnt changed nothing and u check back. U still beat flash draws, streight draws, Ax hands.
