    Hey Dustin, 

    SiQ here. 

     

    Another cool vid. I really look forward to these coming out. 

     

    3 hands to note:

     

    4min - AJo: I like the line but I tend to make it a bit smaller on turn (220~) to make for a bigger river shove. Is there anything wrong with this?

     

    17min - K8s: I think it's imperative to develop a good limping range against this type of player and K8s is a great hand to limp. I don't think a lot of players are aware of this. 

     

    17:40 - A9s: I think you're throwing away a god bit of equity by shoving A9s instead of raise/calling here. The hands he 3bet shoves that aren't in his calling-a-shove range are just dumping equity to A9s. I doubt he's going to be flat-calling much either.

     

     

    I'm really amazed at how well you are able to play while playing 15-20 tables. Playing 9 tables of 6max I feel like I play well but miss a few neuances that you seem to be keeping up with no problem. I've tried to play 12 tables before and there is just no way I could play anything but a robotic game. So yeah, I kinda envy you.

    SiQ thanks again for the compliments.

     

    4min- AJo :  I don't mind betting smaller on the turn, but for different reasoning.  As played, I'm still shoving for over pot on river which seems plenty big to me, and I'm not really trying to rep a polarized range here, because I will value town this with even one pair hands.  My concern for betting large on the turn is that it could be problematic against players with a wide c/r range (which I don't think Milanti has in this spot).  But it really sucks to get your equity folded out, as well as your future bluffing opportunity, and generally speaking, they're more likely to jam over a big turn bet and more likely to call a small one getting a good price.  I wouldn't play it any differently in this spot.

    17:40 A9s :  You're definitely right, and I shouldn't have skimmed through it in the video.  A9s is too strong here, and I am raise/folding here occasionally versus him so I should have plenty of calling hands to balance with.
