Samo Deep Part 3

Discussion for Samo Deep Part 3.

yes i hate getting more bang for my buck and i'm incapable of stopping the video at 45 minutes and coming back to watch the rest later.

Wilson, that is an excellent point. It seems very odd to not have a five betting range at all - but against a good player who knows my playing style and my ranges and is not going to just blow off his money with KK or less, it is certainly a reasonable argument to suggest that I should never five bet with any hand when in position and deep. I have to think some more about that: that is a really astute observation.

@ 62 minutes where you have AK vs Cas1noRoyale, wouldn't it be a pretty safe c/f on the river, because, as you said, he can't valuebet worse but is also unlikely to ever have a bluff (at least i assume so)? furthermore, there are very little worse hands he can call the river with, he might even fold AQ, assuming he would bet the turn with it. If he is a good player, he will recognize, that you never have a bluff in that spot and all your valuehands have AQ beat.

and when a player 3bet/call 4bets deep OOP I would weight his range about 75% to KK , 15% QQ and 10% JJ/TT and therefore not be too scared on a JTxr board. I would prefer to valuebets 3streets or at least 2. he won't bluff you virtually never but willing to bluffcatch since your punketty and can have any 2 in this spot

@tompoker, very good question: I have answered in detail in the forum thread that covers this video. @babagato, even if your weightings are accurate (which I think are not), it is unlikely that a player who only calls the four bet with KK is likely to pay off the rest of his stack. I would not be happy folding my hand if he check raised me - but I am certainly not going to be thrilled to get it in either. Another thing that you might not have considered is that my line is the most likely to

.... is to make a call when they can envisage ANY possibility of their hand being good. That is of course, not the correct approach. Your hand has to be good a percentage of the time that is commensurate with the overlay that the pot provides.

sorry I forgot a question :) I heard you speak about 4bets sizing.... Somewhere in the video you 3 bet BB V.S BTN with KTo at 21, the BTN 4bets at 43, and you said that the sizin' is really bad. What sinzin' would you do in that situation? I can imagine it would be bigger than he did but if you do it bigger it could coast you more money when you do it in bluff???
