Sometimes when playing live poker it’s extremely obvious when a player likes their hand!
I had the pleasure of reviewing a hand with PokerCoaching coach Alex Fitzgerald! This was from the WSOP Mini Main Event in 2021 and it is a great example of how you need to adapt your strategy when you have a very clear read on your opponent.

Im 3 mins in and I really like a medium 4bet-fold there pre.. Against an agitated player, I dont think hes gonna fold correctly to a 4.5k raise there, and youre very likely to either take the pot down, or be heads up (which seem like two reasonable outcomes) .. And we obv fold to any 5bet sizes except a min raise because we are in a spot where we set-mind for an easy double up very often
I would casually throw a 5k chip in and check on all turns, hoping for more money getting in from anyone do that it becomes harder for them to hero fold due to pot odds.. its such a good spot to wait for the turn to put more money in
Definitely just a call if you expect the LJ to “love” his hand, he’s going to Re-raise for you and the HJ will just think the LJ (splashy guy) is trying to bully you off the table. Depending if the turn doesn’t make the straight I would check again cuz I know the LJ will bet again. If you’re going to rip it all in anyway might as well let the third wheel tag along!
Hollywood tank call The flop.
Either call or shove??? Calling is suspicious
Call
call rainbow flop in hopes that lj comes along
solvers and theory can go out of the window a little bit when you're playing thousands of hands at .1-2 online and then go into the main event and play one hand with more money on the table. you don't care about anything but the hand in front of you. i'm always impressed with how well alex is able to navigate this as a coach and as a teacher. there is more than one way to be profitable in this game. i'd rather run great once and have all my bluffs go through in the main even than play gto all my life and fail to read the room at the main event when all the money is out there. fun video. two of my fave poker authors right now.
