This video really spoke to me and made me rethink a situation I recently got myself into. I made this mistake by re-raising with pocket queens to a raise on the flop. I bet thirty five dollars; he doubled my raise. I had about 100 dollars left, so I all-in raised thinking he may have had ace ten or a straight draw semi-bluff at best (hitting top pair to that board) or was trying to scare me off my monster of a starting hand, which does happen in one two NL. In my mind, flopping a set or two pair is rare, so I thought I was right by making this move with pocket queens with a bunch cards lower than a queen (10, 8 and some other low card that had nothing to do with the ten or the eight)
He flopped a set of eights. I was shocked to see it. I haven’t been playing for even fifteen minutes (bad day due to this error), and have not gathered enough info on my players. That villain in particular did show down with the nuts (held KQ suited for the nut straight) to a previous hand he raised if that is information enough.
This video helped me realize I made a mistake by raising into what may have been the wrong player, or maybe I just needed to sit at the table longer to gather more information before making such a move into a player. Had I have seen the player to have been overly aggressive or maniacal, perhaps my decision with my queens may have been correct. This video helps a lot and I know now better what to do in the future against raises against people who have lower raise frequencies. It makes sense, it is Best to get out of the way and wait to have something even better. The way you explain things is great and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Super great low stakes tip my friend. I was gonna barrel em then probably fold, cause I'm a floppy wet fish
I wonder how would you reccomend reacting on that same spot to a min-raise? I find myself in no-man's land….
Obviously you are speaking from vast experience.
Much appreciated.
God DAMN that music WTF made you pick that?
As a reg 1/2 player I agree with your assessment. Playing with regs and knowing hand history helps tremendously.
I like your videos. Helpful. You remind of of Joe Pera, the deadpan comedian. I imagine youre like me at the table, quiet.
Yes….it’s a tricky spot but you have to flat & play it out. If you re raise no weaker hand calls. He either has really good equity versus JJ or you are easily crushed set/2 pair. So I think you have to much money to re raise & you have to play it street by street OOP. His bottom bluffs are still gutters with over or overs like KQishh.
In a vacuum I see what your saying but if you are a working player “working to improve” this is to nitty of a fold. You still have cards on the turn that change the dynamic. Insta folding JJ on this board I can not get on board. Now if flop was 5c6c10h I think it’s an easier fold. But 9c10c& you have JJ with the Jc. I’m not giving up on my chips that easily. Even if you call $45 more. He still bets $75-$100 on turn & you are continuing on certain cards to which also freezes him. He doesn’t want to see a J,Q,K,7, or club. That’s to many decent cards for you to possibly continue. You said he has 2 pair or better & only raises with such do cards are all good for you. To truly move up in levels I think players have to understand total value not just absolute value of their hand in an immediate spot. This is hugely exploitable even if you have 1 thinking player at 1,2 sitting with you. Ax of clubs or Kx clubs should always raise here if you know JJ QQ are going to snap fold. Thanks for the vid. My opinion.
Versus a set (worse case) you have 17% equity Versus 2 pair you have 33% equity Versus Ax clubs it’s more…I think you should see the turn often. To early to fold. You have to call $40 to win $194 (needing about 21% to justify straight) with almost $400 more to play for in stacks. I’m curious what @barthansen @crushlivepoker thinks about this. Can we tag or send him this hand? Thanks again Brian for the post thoughts & efforts. For the absolute 1,2 player I agree with your thoughts. For those that want to think in more layers deeper, I’d like to hear more thoughts. BC as played. You can pin the villain down to a specific range of hands but your range is now harder to pin & inversely you are more challenging to play against. Plus the maneuverability for your hand for the entire play of the hand is key for growth. Plus, how does the math dictate what we should do versus what we do bc we are “currently behind. Versus 2 pair we should always at least call right with 33% equity??? Thoughts 💭
