Hi mjw006,

nice vid! I like all your vids.

You had 97o and the str8 on the Paired River. I think OverBetting would be nice with some history, but in this case I would bet something arround 320 - 370. I understand that you wanted to represent a missed Draw on that drawy Flop but I dont think he would HeroCall a 520 Bet into 420 more likely than a e.g. Bet of 370 in 420. 370 is also not so small and we can also represent a missed Draw by Betting so high, and the chance of him Calling with a 8x or Tx would be higher imo.

Whats your opinion? Do you like your OverBet more?

Youre 3Betting ATo from his MinRaise of 60 to 160. Effektive Stacksize 875 and he 4BetShoves.

Im with you-its not nice to 3Bet ATo at this effekt. StackSize and Fold to a Shove. But dynamicwise I dont think hes 4BetShoving too light at this Point. You didnt give him a reason to think youre 3Betting light. You didnt 3Bet him too much.So maybe I prefer Flatting AT at this point or Fold to a 4BetShove.

Im not as good of a player like you so im just interessted in your opinion after the game. Maybe im totally wrong with my toughts but will be very happy what you have to say.

I really think that vs a semi-thinking player like this guy appeared to be, that a std biggish value bet size would actually look stronger in a spot like this. We are trying to achieve the maximum return on our bet over the long run remember, and thus our larger bet needs to be called a smaller % as well. I don't believe this to be true, I think they will be called at a very similar frequency and if anything, the larger bet possibly being called more frequently. His range in a spot like this is actually quite narrow in regards to hands that can call any sized 3rd barrel, but I believe that range (Kx/KT/T8/weird floatd A6 or smth, if he ever plays them this way) will be at least equally likely to call an overbet than say, t370.

In hindsight it's all good and well to say that flatting the ATo would be better, and I would agree. At the time though I felt it was a good time/hand to put a 3bet in with. This is going to be the very bottom of my 3B/call range at this stack depth so it kinda sucked, but given that I had been mostly running him over I don't think his 4b will be as light as you think (Probably all PP's, KQ+, AT+, with a couple of spazz hands we can never discount). Against a pure val range of AT+,KQ+ and PP's we will have 39% or so equity, and we need 40% to break even on a call. If I think there is even small segments of spazz, or any smaller Ax/KJ etc, in his range given gameflow then it is a no brainer call. Basically, we cannot 3b/fold at this point, flatting might be better overall but I made a judgement call at the time and felt it was best. As it turned out it was just unfortunate he had KK. :)

Thanks for comments man, if you have any further questions plz don't hesitate at all. Happy to answer.

I dislike to 3bet-call w/ ATo 30bbs deep. I'd rather jam pre, as his 4bet shoving range is all ahead of us IMO. If I was going to 3bet-call, seeing as our opponent has no reads, I'd most likely make it 165-180 without reads to encourage him to play jam or fold over us and not flat, and give us slightly better odds when we call. However, I'm very confused about this spot. Our bet may seem like it's  more likely to 3bet-fold than 180, so he may jam lighter over 160 and tighter over 180, and I can't really think up a definitive answer for this spot. I know you probably have nothing left to say but I'm so confused here, it'd be great if you could go into more detail about your thoughts on betting this size vs betting larger, what effects that would have on villains ranges, etc.

A9o (~21:30) - For this to be a +EV jam, villain has to be 3betting ~23-25%, do you really think he's 3betting that wide?

Thanks.

Yeah sure Jakester, I meant to touch a little on the effects of the sizing when I first posted the vid actually.

-> Firstly, I don't mind being flatted in this spot. I felt suepr comfortable playing with this guy postflop and our hand would most certainly be ahead of his flatcalling range of a 3bet. This is the first spot where I feel that my play would be +ev.

-> Secondly, the smaller sizing is also more likely to give perception of FE (when in reality I am not ever going to be 3b/folding this hand at this stack depth regardless of if I was to go anywhere between 160-180). I obviously want to make the size I think he will get in the widest range with, yet at the same time make sure I am always getting the price to call off vs that range.

-> IMO, you are probably correct that t165 is better. It may seem a small amount but in terms of tilting the equity calc vs pure value range (without ANY spazz at all), it will be better overall and will not affect his range at all.

-> The smaller sizing will overall induce more flats than t180, and will also draw in a wider range to be shoving than t180. It is my opinion that t180 looks like I am clearly not folding and there will be some marginal hands he would 4bet shove vs t165 but fold to t180. There will also be some speculative hands that he feels he can flat vs t165 and fold vs t180 (and in theory there should be a difference in his ranges if he is playing correctly).

Hope this helps, feel free to ask more if you feel I haven't addressed this appropriately.

Okidoki, thx for your exact answer! Very nice content for a free vid. My language obv.. isnt english so im sorry if i write something incorrect
