Hyper turbo reg Ryan "TheCart3r" Carter debuts with his first HUSNG.com vid. In this video, Ryan discusses at length a couple of hands in which the decisions that he made ran contrary to conventional thought. In each case, understanding villain's range forms the key to Ryan's demonstration of how the obvious response is not always the best.
These two hands are very interesting.
In the latter hand surely if he has a queen it would be more +ev to bet small as no weaker hand is going to call a shove which looks so much like a completed draw.
In the second hand some of our perceived motivation for barreling so far will be to protect vs. a draw completing. But in the first hand our barreling will contain less value hands (as it is safer to slow play & trap) and proportionately more bluff hands.
Therefore, we are more likely to be bluff barreling in the first hand than the second hand which makes his (small) river bet more likely to be a bluff itself.
So in the second hand we are less likely to be bluff barreling and so while a river shove is likely to scare off anything but a queen (which it did) a smaller river bet is much more likely to be called.
Therefore, if our opponent is a regular in the second hand I would call his shove and if he was a recreational player I would fold.
Given he is a regular player I think you should have been braver and called.
Your analysis during the hand that weaker players bet big with big and bet small with small led me to believe you were going to call the regular's big bet bluff. Wish you had.
