When we isolate OOP utg w/ A2 @3:05 and ~ PSB it just seems like we rarely have a card advantage and that with 40% limp I don't see the value here. On the flop could you explain the sizing? Maybe I have a leak but I don't think I iso worse that like KQo or ATo here. What PPs would you ISO vs limp in this spot? As played I have a question about your post flop play. -This is a spot where i get tripped up, when we are playing against someone with 50-75bb and we have Preflop initiative in a good cbet spot with only 1 high card and back door equity or maybe we have the OESD with no high card equity, how does the reduced implied odds affect our aggression in these spots? Are you planning to overbet shove a club here if he flat? Also how do factor our equtiy vs a SS for the times where he shoves Qx or a flushdraw or a gutter and we fold on the flop? When you 3bet @12:20 with KQ saying he has a wide range, wouldn't it make more sense to flat KQ and 3bet a more polarized range to begin with? Are we assuming someone with a side 3bet range is going to react well to a balanced 3 bet range opposed to a polarized one? Is your standard versus a wide opener to be balanced or unbalanced until you develop postflop reads?

how do you download the video on here ?

LIke I said in the video I'm not very comfortable isolating w/baby off suit aces oop for all the reasons you stated. However, over a big sample I've found them to be profitable. W/ this opponents stack size my flop sizing was upped not only to give me maximum fold equity (trying to fold out a weak pair or better ace) but to set up a close to pot sized shove on a club turn. When he gets deeper I start to rethink my line-there's a point where stack sizes are such that betting to big is going there's still a lot to go in. IN that case I usually bet size smaller to give me room to fold vs a turn jam. If he shove light on the flop, then he gets us and we're going to be exploitable, however if he is doing this enough it will soon show up in stats and then I'm no longer taking this line w/ backdoor holdings, instead I wait for value.

Hey Alan thanks for your response and clearing up my questions. One thing that wasn't covered in your video, if villain is 4bet happy do you polarize your range more and drop this mid SC's that you say you really like for post flop deception? Also what about taking the same mid suited connecters out versus someone what either 4bets of folds but only 4bets like 1% of the time or a pure value range and otherwise does not play in 3bet pots? I appreciate the Ax iso explanation and I agree that 22-66 is no good post flop and that when we hit our hand we are going to get lots of folds and it would be hard to justify barreling with max of solid 2 outs in many case. I think this may be a spot were 22-66 can me marginal with 100BB+ stacks as an ISO IP but I am not sure. I remember another video where you decided to make a turn barrel bigger than your usual it was like 75% on a turn scare card on a relatively non-coordinated board w/ total air, I guess this hand falls along the same concept, we don't want villain floating or looking us up light, but in this case we actually have a wide range of double barrel cards.

VS some one who 4B very little my 3B range is determined by their 3B calling range. If they also fold a lot to 3B, my hand really doesn't matter. I might be tempted to take some hands such as suited connectors and flat w/ them. If they call a lot of 3B I need hands I can fire barrels w/ decent equity. Suited aces and mid suited connectors fill this roll nicely.

Hey Alan, I'm new to the site but I love your videos. I'm semi-new to poker and the videos are perfect. I really enjoy the random chit chat actually its a nice little break during the videos. I hope you keep making videos.
