    First off: Great video, really enjoyed it (altough i'm not finished yet). I have a question about the HU hand at 28:30 . You raise button with KQo, he calls, flop TJ8r, he leads, you raise, he 3bets. You opted to just call (like you would do with the nuts). But then he bets the turn rather large (on a 6). At this point you are essentially hoping he shuts down on the river so you could take it down, unless you hit ofcourse. I don't think this happens often enough to justify a turn call. And there is a little less than a half a pot bet left otr... BTW: i hope to see alot more videos like this ;)

    Great video, and glad to see some higher stakes cash back on the site! Your voice isnt AS soothing as phil's was, but it will do haha. At 39:40, you defend with A/4 of spades, and the flop comes 5/3/10 rainbow with 1 spade. Is this not a perfect hand and board to go for a c/r on? You have spades to barrel, and gutshot+over card for equity, as well as a lot of other cards to barrel like 7/6/4/2 for straight cards and j/q/k for overs to the 10, and can make him fold a ton on later streets. Not only that, but it just simply makes the hand a lot easyer to play (I know thats not a good reason, but that coupled with the fact that its as good or better than calling, i think its worth mentioning) . C/c seems to be by far the most difficult way to play the hand, (although ofc better then c/f haha) so what are your thoughts on a c/r being better here, seeing as we are oop with a lot of good barreling cards and equity?

    What was the plan preflop 4-betting AQo to 460 with 2400 stacks MPvsBB? 4-bet get it in or folding to a 5-bet?

    "What was the plan preflop 4-betting AQo to 460 with 2400 stacks MPvsBB? 4-bet get it in or folding to a 5-bet?" I got the same question. You mention in the video that you got a lot of fold-equity with the 4-bet... It sounds like you are turning your hand into a bluff, which I don't really understand?

    @civell

    My perceived range for [raise flop/call flop 3b/call turn] is very strong and do think villain will shut down plenty often; he should expect us to shove turn more often than call again with hands like we have. There are also certain river cards that don't improve our hand but still force him to c/f with some of his value range. I think shoving turn could be fine too though.

    @Jimbozgrapes

    You could make a case for c/r flop with this hand but his cbet% is low so it's less likely he's cbetting all his pairs on the flop (the part of his range we'd be hoping to fold out later). He's not opening a ton of buttons either so his range is generally tighter/stronger but we'll have the best hand plenty and this is more true when he cbets.

    @GadirGadir @Bluffallobill

    My plan with AQ is to 4b/fold, this is not my standard and very player specific. I expect his range to contain some unsure hands that 3bet without a plan and will either fold outright or flat my 4b (I'll take either). I'm pretty far behind his 3b/5b range in these positions but would rather put more pressure on his 'please don't 4bet' range by taking back the initiative.

    Hello Asad, i see that you have much to teach on HU and 6max, but i would prefer your future videos to be either HU or 6max, not a mix of it. I find it hard to follow and had to rewind alot. As an introduction video it's ok though. I think you will be a very valuable teacher on BFP. Thanks for joining.

    Great 1st vidJ

    Only one thing: It would be good if you could also examine more “if-scenarios” during a review…

    Here are some questions:

     

    Min. 15.15 – KK

    What you you rep in such a spot  on the river, that you expected to getting called by worse?

    It is just one of those spots where you bet on the river with a capped range after check backed OTT where you rep very hardly air imo?

    It seems that you feel like you have to bet holding mostly the best hand, but it also seems that there is  hardly value…

    What would have been your reaction to a X/R?

     

    Min. 24.10 – 98o:

    What is your turnplan vs. a del. Cbet ?

    What you think about X/C turn and X/R most rivers should he bet there again?

     

    Min. 27.30 – KQo:

    Hm interesting -> regards to the vacuumplay you get 2,5:1 , but you have decreased implieds on a 9 and with the history it is questionable imo if his bluffing freq. is here high enough to all the 3bet with poor implieds.

    Also why would you not fastplay your total nuts OTF, but only call the 3bet with?

     

    Min 33.40 – A5o:

    How you react vs. a 2ndBarell there?

    And would anything change with a hand like 66?

     

    Min. 38.50 – A6o:

    Would you ever consider to turn here your hand into a bluff and to jam the river with blocker to Topset and some 2pairs? Or other asking -> I agree that his bluffingfreq. OTR will be mostly low given your perceived range, so what you thin would be his worst valuebettinghand and furthermore his worst B/C-hand vs. a riverjam?

    lol this it's funny because you play almost identical to how I play. There were maybe only 15-20% of spots I would have done something different. Where did you learn to play? I would have folded the turn with KQ because the 9 makes you the nuts but you are never getting paid off on it unless he also has Qx, I guess math can answer the question on this one but I'm not so sure call is good, thoughts? Also with the A6o, I know you had a read that he is trended towards flatting his stronger TP type hands such as AJ AT KQ, but I'm pretty sure he seemed good enough to be aware of that and therefore wouldn't multi barrel that board light. That hand where you had 89 and he checked back AT on K96 then checked back again on the A turn, you said he should have bet the turn, but I would have checked the turn also in his shoes expecting you to think exactly what you thought and thus would put a bet in on the river either for value like you did or as a bluff expecting me to have like 22 or whatever. When I see him capable of that, I can't see how this call down w/ A6 can be good. How frequently do you make such street peels like that pre? I do it quite rarely because I rarely have much success with it, but I'd like to see a video of you doing that much more frequently and see how you are reacting postflop.
