The_End - $1,000 NL Part 1

[Kesky]

This is top drawer quality, best 6max vid of the year. 10/10 like a boss.

The first hand blew my mind a little bit, to be honest.

[jjooeeyy]

This is good stuff. Glad to see u around again man.

Denny, the 99 hand where you end up bluffing the river on the 4 str8 kxxx board was very interesting to me. Your read is that Kx should fold enough to make that the best play surprised me. I would have expected given your image that getting villain off of Kx would be optimistic. Are u also bluffing for the rare times your 99 is good but checking induces bluffs from all worse hands that got to the river? Just a spot where I would have never bet 3x and I am curious if you felt it was clear that it was the best play or was it so close that it is not a spot I should be concerned that I would have played differently?

I don't think it matters too much if you choose a different line in this hand. I do think that it'd be a very tough call with Kx there, and it also helps if he had a worse hand than mine, because checking would almost certainly lose me the hand.

Hey, very nice vid

Here are 2 questions:

Min. 16.30 (Explanation why not X/Ring turns):

I also do rarely X/R turn vs. 2ndBar. Against REGs to protect my X/Call-range there and for balance….
But I do not agree that there are better semibluffinglines vs. 2ndbarells by starting with a check…
X/C – lead River is pointless and destroys all the balance-point and what else can you do OOP?

Min. 18 – T9s:
Ah, not sure if you can rely here 100% that Villains would fold here their bluffcatchers always to an overstab -> hence your logic behind overstabing here to make it cheaper and remove the need of betting twice might be wrong here in a decent %-tage.

Hey,

I meant that in the spot you mentioned, a better line would be imo to either do something else on the flop (lead or c/r) or just c/f the turn. I try to play my draws according to what I predict is going to happen on the turn. So, contrary to what a lot of players think, I rather c/c a NFD on the flop than a 9 high FD, just in case he bets the turn again, with the NFD I can call again, usually.

Yea, sometimes I misconstruct people's turn calling range and give up on the river when I actually should bet. This could be one of those cases. Still doesn't make a turn overbet bad though, just because he'll fold a lot anyways.
