Thanks, i found the bit on min 3bet pots very useful,  I always call them but get frustrated by the amount of times i end up playing fit or fold.  

It's kinda annoying when stars notes disappears :(  Support claim that problem with corrupted XML file for notes and there is no way to fix them. Maybe the better way is to keep them in Holdem Manager.

I have some questions:

1. You minraise preflop with small pairs and 3x with other hands. Is it not giving away information about your hand?

2. You say that K8o is in the lower part of your calling range on the BB. What about suited kings or queens? In general what kind of calling range do you have against an unknown villain in the beginning of a match?

3. You want to play your draws aggressively. Do you mean that only on the flop where the pot is still relatively small and 2 cards to come? In the video you check back the turn which opens a flushdraw because you don`t want to get checkraised. Could you explain the play with draws a bit more? How does position effect this for example?

koolimato -

1) it definitely is a bet sizing tell. it's somewhat unexploitable though unless people just start overbet shoving me. i'm pretty much just trying to play my 22-55ish hands for set value. i think for the times that people might start to think they have a read that i do it with my small pairs, the times that i create better implied odds to flat a 3bet for set value and stack someone outweighs it.

eff stx 1500

A)
hokie raises 60
villain 3bets to 180 (hokie has to call 120 to see flop)

B)

hokie raises 40
villain 3bets to 120 (hokie has to call 80 to see a flop)

We need somewhere in the 13:1-15:1 range to flat a 3bet strictly for set value (that's all we can expect with 22-55 imo). In Case A we're not getting good enough odds w 11:1, in Case B we are getting 17.25:1.

2) If I think my opponent plays really poorly postflop, I'll call a minraise deep (50+) with any suited KX, Q7s+, midconnector stuff, and the obvious AX+ hands. I like to controlt he game in position for the most part though.

3) I was referring more to out of position, so that I don't have to play my draw passively. I want to use fold equity by betting, build a pot for when I hit, and make my hand look less like a draw by playing it aggressively so it gets paid off more often. That said, I'm still trying to control pot size and not induce villain into spazzing in a spot where I'll have to fold to a raise etc. It's very situationally-dependent so it would be easier to have specific hh's.

The spot where I check back the flush draw, if I bet and I get c/r I have to fold. If I check back and hit backdoor flush on the river, my hand is very disguised and villains hand range is probably relatively strong, so I should get paid off a ton of the time. The only time I would semi-bluff my flush draw in this spot is if I think I have so much fold equity that it outweighs the value in checking back to hit the flush on the river...kind of hard to quantify but situations do come up where I feel villains hand range is really weak in this spot.

Watch my video in full screen mode in WMP. Video quality is pretty great if I do say so myself.

in the first odds example, wouldn't it be 12:1?  1440/120?   or am i missing a step?  lol long day today

Did you misread your hand at 25:40?
