adam001 Hey guys, just wanted to let you know im willing to take 3 more students in near future for 200-1000nl, so if interested shoot me a PM, and you can check my coach profile for more information.
reallygambling in the A7s blind v blind hand @ 56min,do u like betting small on river vs capable regs so that you induce a bluff from Ax hands?do u need a ''wide'' vb range or would you be check-folding Ax hands on the river?
baba Really good video again Adam. You do a good job of explaining and not just describing the action. Would really like to see the range analysis / playing your range in different scenarios/board textures thing you talked about, especially if it includes triple barreling.

At 17:30mins you cbet 379r from the mp versus a blind with 66. You say you would triple barrel any turn high card. I assume this is because of positions? I.e you wouldnt do this button v blind or would you? Don't you think when you double barrel (mp v blind) on say a 973rQ flop, most villians fold the turn with any pocket pair less than a 9? So his turn calling range is sets 99/77/QQ/(maybe 33) then some pretty strong one pair hands likes TT/JJ and AQ. Against such a range a triple barrel doesnt look to attractive to me.

27mins versus razed+confused you 3bet kq, and say you would cbet kh8h8 and check the turn if a heart came, then bet the river with air or a king on the river if the turn checked through. Were you planning on c/c a heart turn? If so I assume your checking flushes (and the majority of your range) on the turn too to protect your range? When you say you would bet the river if a turn heart checked through with your air, is that because you put his range on 99/TT/JJ and maybe a weakish K that might fold to your b/c/b line?

As a general observation, when a fish raises and you havent got the button and the blinds are regs (maybe even when you do have the button) are you isolating them with a 3bet with your entire continuing range? Even weak pp? Reason I ask is you seemed surprised that Old Jude had a flatting range on the button in the hand where he back raises your squeeze. Do you not think he flats some speculative hands in position against the fish like weak pp, some 56s /TJs etc or do think he should/is iso-3betting with all of those?

Cheers!
housenuts At 37:45 with AA on the JJ8T9 you talk about cr'ing any bet by him where you give him Qx and think he will fold.

Why do you think he'll fold Qx here? What are you repping?

yeah for the 66, I thought it was very likely he would c/r flop with sets, and thought he knew id definitely go for value with like A9+ for 3 on most runouts, so thought it was a decent spot to triple, but I suppose its possible he has too many TT JJ combos that might not fold if he calls turn.

Yeah, vs razed id check h turns usually and bet or check river with my range. Its kinda tough though because there are some hands that id want to be betting h turns with, and if im always checking strong hands there, if hes observant he may not give a 2nd barrel credit for anything other then like AhQx. So I think we should be betting turn sometimes with hands like black AK or some low flushes and c/cing some nut hands and Kx with h's. And yeah, I think if he checks back turn hes almost always folding blank rivers to a 3/4 pot bet, but id also do this with both value and bluff to balance vs someone as good as him. But in a vacuum checking stronger hands and 3/4 potting air might be best.

Yeah I think its very important to always isolate fish, when you flat there more and more often lately regs are squeezing a lot of their range, and also not cold 4balling you enough. Yeah I think oldjude should be 3bing all his speculative hands there on button with a reg and myself in blinds, unless hes planning on just repping some hand he induced a squeeze with by 4b folding.

when I call a 3b pf, and c/c this flop and turn checks through, I wouldnt bet this river with any of my range. This is because when you evaluate my range, there really arent many hands id be playing this way that id want to be turning into a bluff vs his range of hands that would call/fold this river. So if im checking my whole range on river, it will include 88 99 TT JJ and TJs as part of my flatting oop of range, and for me to be bluffing id have to basically just be turning Jx KK or AA into a bluff, which is conceivable but quite a long shot for him to think that was enough reasoning to bet/call Qx, which I think almost all of his range will be when he bets river.
beepokerking Do you think the strategy of min raising from every pos is optimal at these stakes where people 3b a lot and bluff raise flops a lot or is it what you would do at nl200? When there are more fish and less 3betting you think its better to 3x it pre to build the pot with good hands?

Thanks for the response Adam. So I can put what you've said into some context, are you playing your turn range the same on the Kh8h8cXh as you would Kh8h2c3h. (slightly different board texture) I hope that makes sense! I.e would you c/c KxQh on the Kh8h2c3h and c/f KQo and balance this with the same strategy you described above?

Secondly can I just check what you'd define as being speculative hands? I think I probably flat a slightly too wide a range in this spot. I'm typically flatting weak/mid pp's, 45s - KQs, some Axs etc etc, where as if I understand you correctly you would advocate 3betting all of these?

nmnmnm could you please turn on 4 color deck? thanks
zenlife nice video.......have sent you a pm
nigelreopoker Live 2 tabling zoom would be good or a hand history blitz for your next vid. Good job so far.
Kesky Hi Adam.

I'd love a presentation about what the regs are doing bad, and why is it bad.

Really great addition to the Leggo team, kudos.
desire unrelated but how come you don't play PLO ?

I think it depends on how wide you open pf, if you are like 21/17 ish then I think 3xing from positions other then CO and BU is probably fine, and yea with more fish at table who arent 3bing a lot 3x is also probably good.

Have just always been doing well at NL, so I haven't made the transition yet. If the games become super dead in the next few years then I will definitely consider switching over.
adam001 Hey guys, I got a lot more then expected requests for my unreleased video, so if you want it add me on skype : adam.seaquist1 and message me
Prologion Nice vid^^
It rly seems that you have everywhere a plan how to continue on different boardrunouts due to both (perceived ranges (yours and the one of your villain).
I find it great that you oftentimes say what your plan will/would be on certain board_runouts - keep it up:)

One small point:
Min. 8 - QJo:
You say that when there is a fish behind, you open it 100% from MP.
Imo it depends on the posis of the fish and regs behind.
For example when the fish is in the BTN or in the BB, then I agree with opening QJo there.
But when the fish is in the Co and BTN is a tougher eg, then I think it is a good spot to open tight cause the reg can overcall more and isosqz the fish a lot should he coldcall....
Similar when the fish is in the SB - here when the BB is a tough reg, he can again isosqz more and overcall more (though here at least you would be IP) + many fishes do not coldcall as much in the SB like they do in the BB.
What you think bout it?

+1

great idea for a video
Prologion min. 21:
agree with your thoughts on oldjude.
But do you think it is a bad play to flat in his shoes at least small PPs like your mentioned 33 pre?
Do you small iso3b them as well?
mythrilfox 52:08 57dd - you bet/folded on a J34d flop 200bb deep. I was pretty surprised by this... don't you think his c/r is going to be FOS a decent amount and that this is one of the better non-made hands to float him with? also, it seems like we open ourselves up to a lot of exploitation by bet/folding vs. such a small raise so frequently, which you didn't explicitly state but seems sort of implied to me when you bet/fold 57dd. do you just not worry about being exploited there until your opponents show you they're capable of it?

anyway, great video, thanks!
harangutang Really enjoyed this video. Excellent work.
