Bluffing Spots

Discussion for Bluffing Spots.

Great video! This is definitely one of my favorites. I appreciate the thorough explanation of your thought process, and good examples of being flexible from street to street . I hope you make another video with this concept and format. Great job!

You said in the last hand that you want to be flexible,I think one step further would be to anticipate what your actions going to be on every single turn card. The thought of: ''my plan was not to bluff with this hand'' is therfore not optimal in my opinion.

to slow.... a little less conversation, a little more action please...

great video! please do the other part! thanks!

really nice video, I for one looove that you take your time to explain as deeply as possible on every hand, really good video, thanks! and more of these and also 4 tabling 6max plz! again, love your videos!

In the first hand (65s), because the river is such a good spot to bluff, should we be reraising as a bluff with all our bluff catcher hands, i.e. AJ?

The difference between AJ and 65 seems quite small to me. Do you expect him to bet 3 streets with hands better than 65 but worse than AJ? Maaaaybe KJ but that seems kind of a stretch imo.

Hand 1, Whether one should call the turn with pockets smaller than a Jack, depends on the way he plays AK and AT. If he barrels both, we are getting correct odds to call with any pair. Then 3 barreling becomes profitabel for him, which works for our bluff, but also, our range now has a ton of hands that can not call the river, but could shove. Another thing you said, "if I have a Jack it is between calling or folding", troubles me. to be continued

Hand 2: Why should the King be scary for AQ? AK had him beat before and now just gets less likely.

Really enjoyed this. My only question is do you balance these larger bet sizes. Like in the video you say that you bet bigger to get him to fold, but what if you had the goods? Or is there a natural balancing aspect because villain will have seen you make these large bets for value against stations/fish/suspicious players?

very informative

I'm still not convinced by your distinction in hand 2 between betting a king and not betting a 9. Yeah it removes AK from his range but if he's a thinking player he will realise AQ actually increases in value since it makes AK less likely. I guess you can make the argument that he can c/c on a 9 with AK/AQ/AT because you'd be value-betting worse more often...but would you really ever value bet worse than AQ on the river given how strong your perceived range is? I don't think so, plus you have hardly any worse aces in your range for flatting UTG anyway. I mean I think it's a profitable bluff regardless but the emphasis that the K river dramatically changes the board texture against a thinking player needs revising imo.

I will have to watch again because this was a tough concept for me tounderstand.
