Aaron plays 4 tables in real time and talks quickly and accurately about the action. There are spots where he identifies ranges that may be wider than usual and how he can take advantage of that. He's also lucky enough to get position on a loose passive fish and demonstrates what his game plan is to isolate against wide ranges, both in and out of position.
Really enjoyed the video, you killed it pretty hard. I do have a question regarding your aggression lol. I play 1/2 live (U.S of A), I understand that live and online are two different beasts but even still, if you gave me money to play with online I could never 3/4 bet as much as you do or barrel as many street with marginal holdings. I know you are a boss but it seems like you never give people credit for a hand when calling your 3 bet and c bets, do you never get that feeling that the your opponents are just setting the old bear trap because they know, that you know,that they would never just flat AK so when they flop gin you try to rep it and the just call, call, jam.
I have defiantly benefited from 3 betting and opening wider in position playing live and get far more action as people just get pissed or try to make a hero play against me. Do you think this is a common mistake/leak for players today playing not getting enough value pre flop? If sound like a live nit who only plays for the bad beat jackpot and I apologize, I promise I only play for the .75 cents an hour!
there becomes an inflection point where people have less bluff catchers and more slowplays. depending on how wide someone's range is on each subsequent street will determine if i'll try to continue bluffing them or not. at higher stakes i tighten up a smidge if i think i can't get away with as much.
i would say that people often don't understand what they're trying to do preflop and that is a mistake. what i mean is that they don't understand if they're 3-betting for value or protection or as a bluff. i think people should start to understand that and then 3-bet bluff ppl who will fold and 3-bet light for value against people who call too much or like to 4-bet.
Why do you raise 55 on flop? Your equity sucks when you get called, you can't get better hands to fold, and it's hard to get called by worse. Also no reason to protect since he prob only has 6 outs or you are behind anyway.

The K8 hand on J55r (I think) vs the tets donk where you cib in response to his minraise of your cbet. Are you doing this often on dry boards when donks like this raise, or other boards? Also, does it matter that he checkraised for min then check folded the turn? Might have been waiting for a spot like this again since he's basically level 0?
this is specifically dry boards where i thikn he'd slowplay super strong stuff. if bluff frequencies are the same, he's more likely to have a bluff on a dry board (especially discounting some of the strongest parts of his value range if we assume he always slowplays boats and quads and sometimes trips) than a wet board. he might have a hand like 66 which i hope to get him off of at some point. it might've been a silly play, im not sure.
Sorry, I still don't really get why this raise is better than calling. Can you maybe explain a bit more on this? Only reason I see for this play is to ''make the hand easy to play''. If you really want to take the pot down and don't feel comfortable calling down, why not raise turn when pot is bigger if he bets overcard? Only like 12% chance he hits on turn (outs times 2 right?), and you win a much bigger pot. What do you think?

i think i get less credit for a hand on the turn, it fits poorly with my overall gameplan
to the student: I THINK what aejones is trying to say is (i obv have no idea what aejones is trying to say, or thinking, he is motherfucking aejones): i think basically it's going to be hardish to play on turn and river, if we don't take it down on the flop. this guy seems fishy and probably won't play back at us. it's pretty hard to make profitable turn and river call downs without a buchhhh of history. we are pretty sure we have the best hand and are just trying to take it down against a passive guy. we just going to have a hard time winning on later streets. cant really think of a goodish turn. like so many overcards are going to give the guy overs plus a gutter, overs with open-ended straight draws, overs with a flush draw. and we just can't call on like ANY turn. just trying to take it down now and probably give up vs this guy if he flats. possibly turn our hand into a bluff on some spades, and shit this guy might just call with aj or something and we will probably get to showdown. when we just call on the flop our range is going to look pretty dayum weakish (basically just some floats), some 9x hands and some weakish flush draws that we don't feel comfortable playing for ALL the money with on the flop (that we might jam with on some turn barrels). i've been seeing spots like this pretty often, where you just want to turn your weakish pairs into a bluff. not the same but a similiar scenario occurs pretty dayum often. some dude raises and you flat, lets say 88 from the bb against a lateish open (cutoff or button, lets say), flop T73ss. Not sure if best example, but I see myself just check raising here a TON. basically when you flat on a board like this, it's pretty dayum hard to represent anything strong (you will probably be checkraising all combo draws, some nutted flush draws, sets, blah blah blah) when you flat it'll just make your hand look like it is (a weakish 1 pair type hand), and it's going to be very hard to play profitably on future streets against a competent opponent). if called you have the option of giving up, turning your hand into a bluff on some flush completing cards, or some turns that give you a gutshut, and then possibly jam some rivers, etc etc, idk. ehhhh hope that helps a little. gl.
well probably not best example because you are out of position in my example and aejones was ip, but whatever still should make some sense. (ip you have more floats in your range than op).
