    @ 41minutes with the A high double float on T3362... I think one more reason why a shove on riv is better then taking your showdown which you forget to mention is that our opponent doesn't get to see our hand when we bet and make them fold. I think this idea also deserved some merit :) Great vid, thank you!

    With the 98s bluff hand, what if your opponent IS a calling-station type player? If your holdings are different on that board, would you take some of your value hands (KJ, KQ, Q10, AA, AK) and over bet shove?

    @Pineapple - I agree this is a great, and often overlooked benefit @Joeaugie - With value hands vs a callstation I would likely bet turn bigger for max value and to allow a pot sized river shove, but in a similar spot if if got to the river with those stack sizes and one of the hands you mention I do like the shove vs a callstation.

    How do you not expect to get exploited in scenarios like hand one with AA? Should it not be obvious to a good reg that you folded an overpair in this spot, especially given the short stack in late position. I assume you would not bluff the flop with air, and therefore any thinking reg would take a note of this, and raise all his flush draws and possibly air (in the right spot) min. Also, you didn't really discuss the range of piv-nuka-naka in this spot. Is it possible he can have various suited connectors that flopped flush draws +gutshots? If so, I would expect a good player to flat with sets, and min raise with flush draws as a result of seeing your bet fold in this spot.

    You are correct to point out that I am teaching an exploitable play in the AA hand. I think it is still the most profitable line vs roughly 99+% of small stakes regs. If you do find a player strong, or crazy, enough to bluff/semibluff minraise in a large multiway pot then you can simply adjust by calling with your overpair. My assumption in the sample hand was that nuka-naka's range was 100% sets. There are a few combos of large draws like QJs J9s etc that can make sense but I thought those hands were much more likely to jam the flop. Remember this is a small stakes video and Im teaching a game specific to beating small stakes players. Small stakes regs tend to be less balanced than better players. They also tend to not try to run such big complex bluffs as to raise you off of, as you pointed out, a hand that is extremely likely to be an overpair. As a final note Ill emphasize that specific reads on players must always trump general lines and tendencies, so Im happy taking my line until I have good reason to think Im getting exploited, though I think it is highly unlikely to happen in this spot at 100nl or below.
