first!! 😀
gotta bet that flop. so many reasons. and avoiding this kind of spot is one of them.
i'm not tourament expert, but i think the main idea is to accumulate chips slowly avoiding all-in situations like the plague. why get greedy here? what's wrong with betting 60-70% pot and taking it down a lot of the time on the flop, instead of "trapping" with one pair?
It's interesting you say that 'the kinda guy who can't beat a cash game simply doesn't have enough bluff in their range on the river'. Of course this is the right approach to poker (must bluff enough), but having been watching your channel for a long time, how many of your videos discuss a hand where the hero bluffs on any street? 2%? 3%?
Don't really like the check back on the flop I think we're giving a tough player who I suspect would have the ability to fallow through on his bluffing campaigns the initiative to play back at us on later streets and who also has a very scrambled range making things for myself that much more difficult, & IN staying true to being one step ahead what cards could come on the turn that i should like him to start throwing his weight around with besides MAYBE an ACE or King? A club? No not really! a 5 No! a 3 NO! 7? NO! 8? NO! Board pairing Lol NO! NOT much of anything,, I don't necessarily want to entice a guy who can put a major dent into my stack to suddenly get creatively combative when I'm sitting on a Decent but playback stricken hand.
I kind of hate the way, this hand was played. We check back the flop with the absolute top of our range, and then we start betting the turn, when our relatively hand strength went down. That makes little sense to me.
Sure its cool, we got him to bluff off a whole stack, but he is likely good enough, that he is balanced, when he take this line. So other times we are out of the tournament, for instance if he have this hand, and the river is an offsuit 8 or 3 giving him a pretty well disguised backdoor straight.
If Hero bet the flop, it goes bet-fold against this exact hand, and thats fine. He is a better player than us, so why do we want him to continue with his whole range and give him a great chance to either outplay us or suck out on us?
Sure he can also put us under pressure by check-raising the flop. But I am much more ok with that, because with these stack sizes I would just go with the hand and get it all in on the flop. Which makes my decision making much easier and, I think, more profitable in the long run.
