bertkc oooooo
kaby I never laughed this hard at a video intro before :D you got me

i was like woooooooot new aejones vid crap FR nevermind :d
Tickner Yes, for anyone who watched 30 seconds and quit the video, Aaron is being himself and joking around at the start when he has full ring open.

This is actually my personal favorite aejones video!
Chaser8 asdfasdf
scarface315 great vid!!! you are the man!!!!!!!!!!!
TimM846 haha, I was pissed that you were playing full ring. well done.
Twampah ~30min, you get three popped when you open T8s from an aggro blind. You say you would have called with T9s, but fold T8s. Is that just a case of inherent hand value? Like you need a stronger gaaaaaaper to call there, as opposed to being able to call with weaker connectors? Or do you just not like how T8s matches with his range and would rather call like 86s, but T9s, while not matching up well with his range just has too much IHV to fold there?

Also not sure if im using inherent hand value in the right context, but hopefully you get what i am saying
aejones Yea the difference between sooted one gappers and SCs is pretty significant. In fact, you may show a profit in the long run with many SCs and not with many sooted one gappers.

Also, I really really like ten-nine sooted.

And yes, inherent hand value is a good enough term to use.
d2themfi about 40 min in Js2 raises the co, and u fold KJ in the bb closing the action HU, from watching you play it seems this would be a hand you like to flat right? Even I would flat this pretty often vs someone that aggro(dominates most of his opening range, makes good bluff catchers) any reason behind the fold?
thac

hahahah +1
saddu no profanities :( LOL great as always
phil Good job, keep it up
Losingdonkey very nice video, I liked the accuracy of your c-bets
TimDawg i masterbated to it.......3 times
TimDawg yeah seriously, i was so mad and disappointed when i saw the FR tables

std aejones ; P
Twampah i was a little disappointed when that guy who checked behind nines full on your quads then called your river bluff with pocket twos left the table. I was curious to see what adjustments you were going to make to a guy who has your soul on his HUD.
bertkc fullring ****ing owns
SEABEAST LOL brilliant start
thac Best start to a video ever.
SEABEAST this vid is really, really good

"i think phil hellmuth likes it, doyle brunson does NOT" i loled real hard irl
aejones Get a Clue, retard.
Dire Really great video.

Especially your river play. I dunno what it is, but it's the same as with every one of your other videos. Your river play is awesome and reallllllllly educational.
willw9 titan face, titananium force..trinitrotoleune farce..wait what?
mayonegg I hated the river bluff when the flush hit vs. the guy who couldn't fold aces on a **** board a few hands earlier.

Other than that, cool vid as usual.
Finnisher Good as usual. I really liked the JTo bvb hand where you explained what your hand looks like to him, I think it's really helpful for finding reasons to taking the line that should be taken and something I'd like to see more of especially in the lower stakes vids.
JonnyCosMo o sweet they released ur bonus! you gotta be fucking kidding me
tapped_out It's like watching someone in total control, AEJ sees all the angles and is almost always able to correctly deduce the right play in real time....amazingly good

Definitely a marginal spot there. I was waiting for him to tell us how bad that call was...no thoughts on his call AEJ? Obviously the guy thought it was a nuts/air situation(or didn't think at all?)and he didn't give you any credit for bluffing with a better hand.
Jakkace Excellent video and commentary.
nogatsira Awesome intro, awesome vid, awesome coach
What more is there to say, you make it sound SO freaking easy. How do you keep making every right choice on every single hand? There should be no tread about your videos cause everything is already explained into details in the vid.
Awesome job, I'm a fan

side note: I got rid of the glasses
desire nice vid
a question, however - somewhere in 40 minutes or so you 3bet A2s against a fish open, cbet flop and checked turn behind but bet a river ?
I don't understand/dislike that line because clearly villain sucked badly and is never folding a pair as we could see from him calling that bet down with 22.

keep it up, more FT 2/4 vids plz
Rivfader Do you always flat(or at least most of the time) against a competent button opener with AJ from the SB, even though it's for sure +EV to 3-bet against TAG/LAG button opening range.
Pros of flatting:
1. Keeping worse aces and jacks in his range.
2. Keeping the pot small OOP
3. Button can't 4-bet bluff you off your hand

Cons:
1. You're gonna miss the flop 2/3 of the time and button has the iniative
2. BB can squeeze
3. You can take the pot down usually preflop with a 3-bet without having to play OOP postflop(even though you have to play a bigger pot when you get called)

Would you 3-bet it against a fishy loose player like 50/18? Do you think flatting is clearly more +EV than 3-betting, even though both could be +EV (against a competent player)?
MirroRobin Slit my left wrist when I saw full ring, please pay hospital bill.

If I didn't say anything in the video, could have been a misclick or I was focusing on talking about something else. Prob a spot where I call usually but fold if I'm busy or something.

That guy was not thinking about anything, thus, I didn't dignify his tilt-induced call and subsequent table- peace-out.

That's completely results oriented. I fully expected him to fold a pair, and is a terrible, terrible justification to say that just because he called with one weak pair this time he's going to be calling everytime he's got any pair.

And yes, although I can't have small PPs I can have bottom pair-X type hands and accidentally value bet. I would rarely try to bluff this type of tilted player who just clicks buttons and calls, but I felt the river was too good to not bluff and he was not good enough to check if he actually had a flush or a straight.

It's for sure +EV to 3-bet any two cards, if you say so, but I am not worried about being +EV, I'm worried about balancing. I'd rather 3-bet 46 off suited. I also would not flat here if I knew the bb was squeezy, but it's a read I don't give ppl credit for until they prove to me they can do it.
Melchiades Disappointed that you didn't berate the 22 call.

I mean seriously you didnt even acknowledge it.
RedJoker Do you think if I moan about something enough that I can get a shout out in the next video?

First hand you were talking about how you have better equity against the BTNs shoving range with KQ then with A5 since KQ dominates more of his range.

You need 41.2% equity to call (84/204):

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 54.000% 52.17% 01.84% 3526455936 124065858.00 { 22+, A2s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, A2o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
Hand 1: 46.000% 44.16% 01.84% 2985588540 124065858.00 { KQo }

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 56.887% 50.31% 06.58% 3194341392 417544668.00 { 22+, A2s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, A2o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
Hand 1: 43.113% 36.54% 06.58% 2319792504 417544668.00 { A5o }

A3o has exactly 41.2% equity against this range fwiw, since you were wondering what the worst ace you would call with was. I just made his range any pair, ace or two broadway cards, this could be a bit off though. What do you think his range is likely to be here?

Some interesting stuff about W$WSF in there as well, I wrote a thread about this topic a while back, link.

I'm too stoic.
klb. Really, really good commentary in this video. Although most situations in this video was pretty trivial it's still educational with that elaborate kind of commentary. I would love to see a video where the game is tougher/more aggresive and you keep up to explain and express your though process (the subconsius one too) like you did here. Maybe do a video playing 5/10 or 10/20 at tables only consisting of regulars?
Panic Great vid again. Loved the intro, I also was fooled by your FR joke, I almost closed the vid but thought it is AEJones, even a FR vid cant be bad by him.
Your thought process is very clear and your vids are very educational, and the jokes you make crack me up.

Keep it up!

I really think that your river bet was terrible regardless of how bad his call is. Can you explain your thought process on that hand?
