Leatherass9's Mid-Stakes 6max Review (2)

The KT hand vs. Waldo: What would you think about betting 40$ or smth along 1/3 pot on the river? This would probably be my default line here vs. an unknown fish, but I'm not that confident its better than checking and calling if he happens to bet. I wont go into detail about my thinking process, but very interested in hearing yours / others!

your 8 6 of diamonds how can you not call there? hes got over 200 bbs its a great deceptive hand. I don't think you have to 3 b there whats wrong with flatting and trying to flop huge? If you dont its just a simple fold your sb already out there not much more to call. Even out of position being so deep i think its worth taking a shot at flopping huge.

Hey Dusty, nice video!

I got a question for the KT hand where he checked back the flopped set on the river at about minute 47: You say you did not want to bet because of conflicting logic, and while i think that is a good reason to not bet, it is not always bad to bet anyways.

For example: If you had bet 2/3 pot (80 in 120) with KT+ and bluffs, he would have to fold 40+% for your bluff to be +ev and have to call with worse 50+% for your value bets to be +ev. Now let's say in the case he has a 6 he calls 55% of the time and folds the other 45%. Now your bluffs AND your valuebets with KT would be +ev, assuming he never bluffraises the river.

I understand that those are quite optimistic assumptions and because there is only a small margin where the bet is good despite of seemingly conflicting logic, it is usually best to avoid it, but i just wanted to show that those concepts are not waterproof.
