Giggy Visits The Old Sage (3)

Discussion for Giggy Visits The Old Sage (3).

Good vid as are all in this series. This may have been mentioned in prior comments of prior vids, but damn....25 minutes on the QQ on ATx hand. Samo, your point was made 5 minutes into the discussion. This is vid 10 or so in the series, and if anybody got this far they prolly understand way ahead way behind. You are a great poker mind and your commentary is good stuff. But I have noticed that in hands where you and Martin would play a hand differently, you talk until he says "I agree".

froggy, the QQ hand involved a very important discussion about different forms of balancing and playing within your body of work. The way ahead/way behind part of the analysis was only for the first minute or so. I think that the analysis of balancing and exploiting easily warranted the detail in our discussion. I'm sorry if you did not like that portion of the video - but I think it certainly involved a lot more than the basic wa/wb concept.

I like the discussions on unorthodox lines and would love to see an entire video on the check call lead line or donk leading in general.This information is golden guys!Keep it up and keep talking because I really need to hear this shit.Thanks!

BigGogi, you are absolutely right. I was thinking about that afterwards. We probably should have at least considered the possibility of folding. I guess the fact of the matter is that Martin is so aggressive that players will be more willing to go with their hands against him a little lighter. But that being said, I do agree with you that in that particular situation, we should have at least considered folding.

Prolly true, I was on monkey tilt from a bad session and was impatient. Not the best time to be watching the vid.

Is folding 77 really an easy fold for IWinFlips? If he knows it's going to be a 3 way all in doesn't he need less than 33% equity to make it a profitable call? He definitely has it with a set 3 ways.

iwinflips didnt know the pot would be 3ways tho did he as he was in this case 2nd to act? if he was last to act with 2 allins before him then with 777 would that be an easy call? (approx 32% equity)?? gg

Yeah, equity-wise, 3 way, it might become a call, didn't even think about that ;). But as diablo stated he's not 100% sure it's gonna be 3-way... and having 777 is easier to fold because you know that nobody else has 777... if you expect people to stack off with like top set and better, and YOU have the top set, then you're left against better.

another great video; regarding the way ahead way behind situation. Obviously value betting there isn't good but neither is turning your hand face up, a solution i propose is we should sometimes check with our monsters to A. protect the intergrity of our checks and B. under represent our hand to go for value on later streets. However in the heat of combat we would just go for value with our monster because like giggy said he bluffs that much on flops he has to go for thin value
