400nl Review

Discussion for 400nl Review.

Also in the first hand with A8ss where you double donk (versus c/c and put yourself in a check/guess spot often getting barreled off the better hand) + the spot with JTss in 3bet pot where you check to c/r but mention you sometimes lead BUT recommended bluff/semibluffs how else do you balance or is the fact that we're leading a flop that smashes our preflop range make it deceptive enough where balancing is only necessary versus players that know our tendencies outside a single session?

Thanks for the questions, Thebowskii. The 87s hand, it is primarily because I am in the SB. Flatting isn't a great option, mostly cuz the BB will squeeze on occasion. If we were closing the action in the BB, I would be more likely to flat. Also, 30% of the time he will call, so we can't be completely polarized, so 3betting in the BB sometimes would be good, but I would flat it at least 50% of the time in a vacuum.

Thank You for the clarification Jason. I find myself often balancing my lines on flop textures but I am really exited to try working a donk bet into my game as well as add more deception by mixing it up with equal strength holdings so that my play is less transparent. I realized after you mention it that I am rarely cognizant of the BB squeezing me unless he is very 3bet happy so I like hearing your standard thought process with hands that can be played in many ways was beneficial!

Stinger5158, thanks for the feedback. I will try and get through preflop quicker in part 2. That is a valid point for the stakes. And wow, I will go back and watch the QQ6x6 hand. Sounds like an idiot moment from me (likely 2 idiot moments actually). TBH, that would drive me nuts watching someone else's vid, so thanks for pointing it out to me. Sometimes stuff like that will happen as we all make mistakes, but I will do my best to at least read the board correctly. :-P

At minute 37 in the bottom right, you had j10 and decided to river value bet second pair jacks OOP. I definetely agree that you have the best hand here the vast majority of the time. My question is why bet? I feel like your opponents line here leans to a draw hand. But more importantly, what made hands that can call you do you give him? I feel like the only made hands that can call you are kj and aj, which he has a small percentage of the time and also have you beat. And if he does indeed have a draw (even more likely the case with a river fold from him), isn't checking the best way to get value?

This shows up under PLO in search, and the game is labled as PLO.
