CRUSH 100NL - Find the BEST LINE

to do some pling playing and explaining here on Carrot Corner. What an intro.

The inability to speak is something that haunts me around this time of day. Got

my coffee here. Had lunch a while ago.

Midday slump. Anyone else get that? Just

get a bit lazy around midday.

some poker with the intention of finding the best line. As you can see, we are running hot. We have pocket queens under

running hot. We have pocket queens under the gun. We have the flames around the

the gun. We have the flames around the VP. We have a 29 VP that have a crazy

VP. We have a 29 VP that have a crazy lag. And also,

lag. And also, we won 40 big blinds or something when we were setting up the video. Probably

going to lose it all back with queens now. Going to always play call against

now. Going to always play call against the big blind range. I don't think for bet reopening against this tight a configuration makes much sense.

10 10 for expect a lot of betting to go for two/3 spot. I'm not going to be playing any race here whatsoever. Just

going to be calling queens. The annoying

thing about this spot is that jacks isn't really meant to be a big part of their range in this configuration.

Um are there some lines where we like don't get stacked by aces and kings here? Yeah, probably. Is there any

here? Yeah, probably. Is there any advantage at all to shoving? It

maximizes against ace king with a heart only. I'll just call.

only. I'll just call.

It's close on turn. I I think you mainly just want to be playing call. And they

go for three straight queens with a heart. We're not meant to fold this

heart. We're not meant to fold this spot. Obviously,

spot. Obviously, we might be value chopping the other queens combo.

I'm not going to fold with a heart. I

think queens without heart. It could

fold. Queen 10 offuit, huh? Wow.

Standard three bet.

And over here, this is kind of weird.

Kind of weird run out.

I think villain has like a lot of like pair plus diamond like queens diamond, 10's diamond, etc. It's fairly river fairly big especially without the second

big diamond block calling range. So

yeah, kind of unfortunate start with queens. I don't think there's a whole

queens. I don't think there's a whole lot we can do. The only real decision there I think is whether to shove turn or call turn.

And I think call turn just maximizes a bit against any low EV bluffs that are in there. You just never know, right?

in there. You just never know, right?

You just even though it's not a spot people are bluffing that often, you never know how many low EV bluffs could be in a random person's range. And I

think we do similarly against his king with a heart anyway. It's probably slightly

heart anyway. It's probably slightly better to raise the turn against that, but not a huge deal against Jax if Jax is playing that way.

I don't expect it super often from those positions, but it's probably again a bit better to shove the turn just in case of action

killing river. So really close spot.

killing river. So really close spot.

Easy filled with queen jack here against three bet.

Yeah, I don't think we can do much differently there.

A four bet pre and um win the pot from the obnoxious queen 10 off that is three betting as small blind a big blind against under the gun. Very weird like some kind of

Yeah, folding river is honestly like probably not that absurd in that configuration. It's probably not a fold,

configuration. It's probably not a fold, but it's it's a little bit close.

I don't have a good button. I resized

these for post flop. I don't know why the buttons on GG are like that where suddenly it switches to percent pop buttons and not big blind buttons. Maybe

there's a setting for that that I'm missing. Queen four. I am just going to

missing. Queen four. I am just going to defend. I'm not going to play any I'm

defend. I'm not going to play any I'm not going to roll any three bit this hand in this spot. Ace queen offsuit.

really close in these configurations.

I'm going to go with fold, but I don't really care. Going to be playing

really care. Going to be playing a lot of lead in this spot. Can do all kinds of sizes. I'm going to pure lead my hand.

I think it's the best play. It's not

going to get reopened that often. So,

check raising is out. I just don't think it goes check check bet that frequently if we check turn. I do

think that sometimes if we wait until river to bluff, we just get called by like ace king on a brick run out. So I

prefer just leading immediately.

What's up crazy times? Good to see you.

Yeah, going to do a little bit two tables. We're feeling a bit sluggish

tables. We're feeling a bit sluggish here. Not properly in the mood for the

here. Not properly in the mood for the mass multitabling, the four tableabling fastold today, which does get very quick on GG with the time bank situation.

have all the back doors in the world facing kind of normal size rays here.

I'm just going to be folding. I'd expect

this spot to be a little bit underdone probably and hand is obviously just not not really a defend anyway in these

positions at all.

So, how you guys doing today? What is

What is new? What's going on? This was

the guy with the queen 10, right? He's going to get the fish tag.

Don't think queen 10 off. Maybe queen 10 off is one of those weird hands is meant to get in there sometimes. I don't think so of those positions. It's certainly

very rare to see it from a human.

Cosmo Penny Packer, what's going on?

Welcome to the to the stream over there on Twitch.

Yeah, that was a pretty random hand for V to show up with. That would not have been my first guess.

Ace 10 suited maybe. Sometimes

it is a part of the game tree I didn't really think about though, like losing to a 10. It is is a relevant part of the game tree. I just think with the queen

game tree. I just think with the queen of hearts, it's just incredibly difficult to want to fold that spot.

unblocking ace king with a heart which is the main bluff. Beating chopping

queens, beating jacks in case it's like overextending.

Yeah, it's tough to get away from that three to one on river. That's probably

not right either.

We're going a bit more polar than sevens here, but not folding to see bet in this elite configuration. Skirmish.

elite configuration. Skirmish.

I will play small race here, but not with sevens. be it's worth learning how

with sevens. be it's worth learning how to play a small race strategy in spots like this against lazy range bet and just pulling that off because by doing so you just take your opponents into a

less familiar region of the game tree more often going to be reopening for pot or check here and it's going to be based around good jack plus

ace jack plus something like that we do have a seven of spades I don't think it's massively important most hands containing the seven of spades are just going to at the turn. So, they're

not going to be on this node. So, I

don't think in real life this blocker has too much of an impact. What I will go on is the fact that people just have too much air here because they just bet too many flush draws in general and just don't have enough flushes, let alone

flushes containing the seven of spades in this line.

Um, so I'm not going to be folding against bet there as a default approach with that hand. I mean, don't get me wrong, the seven of spades is is better than other sevens to have because it's more likely the villain will take a

non-spade seven to the bet check bet bluff line. And so, you do still want

bluff line. And so, you do still want that card. I just don't think it's like

that card. I just don't think it's like immensely blocking it flushes. It is

more on blocking of air.

However, we definitely want to be in I want to say both of these hands. I

think we have like two recreational players here.

Want to be looking at flop. definitely

P87 against the 37 VPIP always against halfp pot. I'm not going to check race

halfp pot. I'm not going to check race against early position here on this board. I'd expect it to be underfolded

board. I'd expect it to be underfolded because once they size up a little bit, they still have to like they have to like adjust to the wetness of the board and find folds here. However, it's much

closer against lazy range bet um is what I'm calling this from now on. I think

playing small raise here. This hand is fine. I'm just going to do it pure

fine. I'm just going to do it pure from small blind. Um, we're going to have some king, queen, king, jack suited that's doing that. In practice, I'll usually three bet those hands, but like technically I can have them then it sets

etc. probably am over bluffing there like quite honestly, but that's fine. Going

to go small three bet here with aces 10 very borderline in hijack. I'll just

pass on the spot because I've got aces going on. It's possible I'll have to use

going on. It's possible I'll have to use my brain. So,

my brain. So, we'll just keep the the action to a minimum there with a break even hand.

It's a better way than RNGing to decide if you want to play a hand. It's just

observing action on other tables. Um,

queen A3. We're going to play our one big blind range one big blind.

How do you feel about the rake situation on GG? People ask me this a lot. I think

on GG? People ask me this a lot. I think

it's hard that you need to play really exploitatively. I think the games are

exploitatively. I think the games are beatable. I'm very confident they're

beatable. I'm very confident they're beatable, but it's harder than it used to be. And a higher percentage of your

to be. And a higher percentage of your win rate depends on rake back than it used to. That's where I come down on

used to. That's where I come down on that. I'm playing B 100 check here. So,

that. I'm playing B 100 check here. So,

just going to check. And we

go ahead and smash an eight on the river here.

Still lose to some parts of range like Jack 10, etc. Now, I'm mostly going to be playing I think B 100's going to be the race size against this.

want to play any 200. I don't think so.

I just play 100 here. In the new course, I'm building like most of the the sizes are based around B 100, B200 on Turning River. Not exclusively. There are some

River. Not exclusively. There are some giant overb spots. There are some smaller bit spots on different textures, but yeah, I forget bluff the river with 0% equity.

Well, it's better to bluff the equity than 35, right? I mean, that's an improvement over bluffing with 35% equity. So, at least you've got your

equity. So, at least you've got your polarization down, my friend.

I'm going to just exploit five big blinds against the 62 VP. I'd expect

just any two cards to be, you know, worth doing this with.

Going to go small C bet here with some back doors.

If they're really volatile, you can check like the really worthless hands there. I think Jack five honestly like

there. I think Jack five honestly like has enough going for it. and we get limp raised so infrequently that I'll still just go five pig blinds. It's better

against like a 40 somewhat paradoxically it's better against like a 40 v pip than like a 68 v pip because the 68 v pip's going to be more prone to just like never folding. So you could convince me

never folding. So you could convince me against 68 it's better to check jack five and just raise like jack six suited plus or something. But against like most limpers like any two cards is going to be fair game for that line because it's

a very very overfolded underdefended underfought sort of situation.

So the best line there's usually to attack but as villains v pip gets monstrously high you might just find that they just don't ever fold and do spewy stuff.

Play a little bit of cold call.

I I probably shouldn't. I should

probably just take the three bet node, but against a reggg, I don't mind mixing this in sometimes just being a little bit unpredictable.

Um, what are we playing here? Small in

check. And I think the hands are pure check.

It's very likely the villain is range checking here. We're extremely middling.

checking here. We're extremely middling.

We're not vulnerable because we dominate their air. Very easy check down.

their air. Very easy check down.

River is kind of interesting. I think we have the best hand here a lot because I think they have ace queen a lot here. But they can also have like fours, ace5, stuff like this

that probably doesn't fold if we attack.

So I don't think it's worth just making them fold chops. Betting small to get value from ace queen is also a thing.

It's either going to be like 1.3 big blinds or like some giant bet. Giant

bets trying to like make villain fold chops and pocket pairs and things like that and one big blind is trying to get called by ace queen ace jack. And I

think enough of their range is mostly hands like that that both of those lines are kind of valid.

Always three betting here though.

And no reads on the villain.

I'm just going to see bet half pot because their range is far too wide for this cold call. There's plenty of turns I can be aggressive on. And starting

with check with this prosperous hand that can't really check razor check call easily against a volatile looking player is likely not best. Even though I would check a lot there in general, I think

the best line is bet against that player. Do a lot of double barreling,

player. Do a lot of double barreling, expect them to land on flop too wide, turn too wide, and any overcard turn, straightening turn, spade, like we can go ahead and continue to be aggressive

against what is too too wide of a starting range.

Um, Ace5, you can kind of go either way here.

This time we're against like a more reggy player. We are just going to be

reggy player. We are just going to be playing our range. Do I want to start leading? I definitely want the leading

leading? I definitely want the leading range in play here and I kind of prefer to ensure pot growth, generate fold equity rather than check raise here. I think it just plays a bit better as a bet. There's some

reasons for this. I won't go into all of them. Default play here with A9 is going

them. Default play here with A9 is going to be call to this line. You can raise um expect to see two fairly cap ranges when my small bet doesn't get raised here. I am going to go ahead and and

here. I am going to go ahead and and blast this turn. Expect to get pretty good fold equity despite being multi-way.

And against the bigger flop sizing with Ace9 specifically, I mean, I guess I shouldn't really bluff this combo.

Villain just saying it's like a queen here for the most part.

I am going to just shove the river here.

I have bad blockers, but I'm going to do it anyway.

Yeah, I don't think there's much we can do on the right hand side. Um, the

reason I'm going to do it anyway is just like I need it to get through 50% of the time and I think most of the opponent's range is just one pair below a king.

I don't know though. You could convince me that there's actually showdown and checking. I mean, there is some showdown

checking. I mean, there is some showdown in checking. The question is, is it

in checking. The question is, is it enough? I don't know. Kind of close

enough? I don't know. Kind of close spot.

Obviously, if you don't have spades, you have a higher EV bluff than when you have a six of spades, but it doesn't mean that it's not still a good spot.

I mean, King X of Spades beats you. Um,

some of their range. It's only going to be a handful of combos. I think most of their range is still like pocket pair, pair on the board, that sort of thing. I

don't know about River.

Every time I range bet, that's exactly what I think Villain's thinking. Lazy

range bet. It's been working in the micro. So, yeah, it does work. I mean,

micro. So, yeah, it does work. I mean,

it it works really well. It's not to say you shouldn't sometimes pick a different line with certain hands, like maybe you should, but it does work really well.

And when I say I'm attacking a lazy range bet, I'm well aware that like the majority of your opponents guys aren't attacking your lazy range bets. And so

it's not a bad way to start out when you start playing poker. Like it's not I'm not hating on it as a practical way of playing at low stakes. I'm just attacking it because

stakes. I'm just attacking it because there's opportunity there if you're more astute about where they're doing it too often and where they can't handle aggression because of that. play range

check. Lazy range check on this texture.

Ace queen I think is just a pure fold unfortunately even to third pot on this horrific board. Ace king I think gets

horrific board. Ace king I think gets indifferent. I think ace queen is a pure

indifferent. I think ace queen is a pure fold no back door because the pair quality the pair draw outs are just a lot worse.

Patty on Twitch says it's been a few years of not playing or not watching poker. When did you leave poker stars

poker. When did you leave poker stars and go on GG? Um the games were just terrible. Like there were hardly any

terrible. Like there were hardly any fish. The 200 game was barely running.

fish. The 200 game was barely running.

Like it just start it basically died.

Like Poker Stars basically died. They

did a very very bad job in my opinion of fighting in the market and maintaining their market share. They didn't do enough to attract recreational players.

GG just did a phenomenal job, frankly, of attracting recreational players. And

that's not to say I like GG or think that like I don't have any affiliation with them. I don't think that,

with them. I don't think that, you know, this is a wonderful place to play poker. I think it's kind of the

play poker. I think it's kind of the lesser of the [ __ ] places to play poker at the moment. Um, but Poker Stars just lost all of their traffic. And when you lose all of your traffic, you lose the recreationals, you then lose the

regulars in turn, and then you just have no one. And that's kind of what what's

no one. And that's kind of what what's happened. I hope they can like rebuild

happened. I hope they can like rebuild somehow. Back in the day, Stars was a

somehow. Back in the day, Stars was a company with a ton of integrity. They

were like by far market leaders. They

were doing super well. But when Dean X left and went to GG, it was it was nothing but downhill from there.

Obviously, when you lose DX, you kind of lose the house, right? When Dean X is no longer in your camp, like you're screwed. Am I right, guys?

screwed. Am I right, guys?

So, check out carrocarter.com if you like the way I think and talk about the game. I have loads of premium courses on

game. I have loads of premium courses on there, including the Carrot Poker School, the big gigantic comprehensive, all you'll ever need theory course with

an exploitative mass data grade as well.

Um, I am actually going to take this spot with king seven.

And the reason is that we're a little bit deeper and it's much harder for villain to a play poker at this depth and harder for them to

to do much in the way of shoving light or anything. Not that they shove light

or anything. Not that they shove light anyway in these spots, but yeah, normally I go quarter pot. I'm just

going like slightly slightly bigger for the stack depth.

Oops. I meant to bet turn. I don't

really care though to be honest. Not a

huge deal. You can go either way on turn. Better check

turn. Better check with this hand.

It's so hard for me to be bluffing this spot.

No, I can have A6 actually. A5, Ace4.

It's usually better not to take lines that rely on your opponent's raising.

Um, like you could go small, but that relies on them taking like a queen and turning it into a bluff.

If you know your opponent's that way inclined, it's easily the best play to do that. Like, if they're if they start

do that. Like, if they're if they start bluffing, they're going to be over bluffing. But most people just never

bluffing. But most people just never bluff that note, unfortunately.

playing big over bet check here and a 10 of hearts is pretty much always going to be big over bet.

What do I think? Villain was calling turn with an ace five hand. Just like

one pair on the board generally.

I might be off on that though. Like some

of that's going to fold but like the pair on the board with red draw mostly.

Some pocket pair as well. I don't I don't think river's great. I think it's close.

Something like king X of spades will never fold. Sometimes we'll get

never fold. Sometimes we'll get stationed by a weak hand anyway. It

needs to get through a bit more than 50% to be as good as checking. It might be a mistake actually. Check might be higher

mistake actually. Check might be higher EV with that combo. We do win occasionally. And if we do get stationed

occasionally. And if we do get stationed on turn, we'll run into like quite a few river stations on that node as well. So,

it might not be right. Might be a bit of an over extension there.

Might not be right.

King seven's interesting. like I

couldn't really it was a bit of an awkward SPR and not awkward in the sense that like it's bad just that I haven't really played too many hands at that SPR in a 4

bit pot and so I was like trying to figure out what sizing tool kit I wanted. I was thinking like B33 or B50

wanted. I was thinking like B33 or B50 like somewhere around there for the most part.

I play small race here and raise a bunch of AX as well. This is just my general strat against regs.

The jack turn is really bad for us. Like

ace, jack, jack 8, jack 7, 10, n all get there. We can still value bet, but I

there. We can still value bet, but I think this is just a mix now. I'm going

to go about 50/50 between bet and check.

I don't really mind. I don't think it's a mandatory value bet anymore. It's

basically just going to be fine in either camp. Threes, you can call, you

either camp. Threes, you can call, you can fold, whoever.

And pretty hard for villain to bluff on the jack of spades. like they're going to have to take I guess they have like 65 64 etc. Um I don't think my line is going

to yield any fold equity from better really not not enough anyway. I can

claim to have a jack here. I could go all in.

So I do block stuff. It's an option.

Yeah, we'll chop that up. He should

certainly bluff that hand I think on that run out cuz like in practice, okay, the jack isn't ideal. Maybe he

shouldn't, but like you need to start eating into the bottom of your range there and turning it into a bluff, right? I mean, he does have some like

right? I mean, he does have some like miss low straight draws and stuff, but it doesn't get a lot lower in showdown value than that hand has played. Like so

much stuff just gets there, right? So

you have to like re-evaluate your hand strength. Consider bluffing.

strength. Consider bluffing.

I think bluffing for villain there.

Certainly on a nonjack river like on another like random card is probably good with that hand.

Check and don bet both viable on 436 versus dx. Heads up. Yeah, I I'd like to

versus dx. Heads up. Yeah, I I'd like to take the next on. That would be fun.

That would definitely be fun.

think I like betting flop this sizing checking turn calling river allowing like ace king, no

spade, king jack of diamonds to bluff and still value betting against ace queen and stuff like that which is blocked heavily. It's called

blocked heavily. It's called we cash out guys cash out our 89%.

We can run it twice instead. Let's do

the honorable thing.

Definitely like betting a flop cuz if you let pot stagnate there, I just don't think it grows often enough. But I like checking turn with the invincible nuts at SPR1 that we've created.

Exploitatively. I was just trying to create something closer to SPR1 so that villain is more inclined to jam the river as a bluff rather than bet fold half pot or something as a bluff. I was

just thinking about how I get him to invest the maximum amount of money with the most bluffs because if he has ace queen or something, we'll do pretty well with just bet flop, check back, turn,

shove, river anyway. So, just thinking about like there's no way you're actually indifferent there with your flop sizing. Like even though it's easy

flop sizing. Like even though it's easy to be like, "Oh, this is my standard sizing, blah, blah, blah." Humans aren't going to perfectly react to the differences in stacked pot ratio there, like being a bit deeper, being in the four bit pot, etc. So, you do want to

think about it and you do want to try and plan around it a little bit. I think

deep here with H Jack offuit. I'm going

to go either way here. I think

you're meant to for bet a bit more suited stuff at this SPR, but I'm in position and I'm just not that worried about implied odds, reverse implied, etc. I'm going to mostly just

call here though.

Obviously close.

Very good board for range. I think I will pure bet this combo actually and start with small. Just go from there. We

have the jack of spades. We have a a very nice hand to turn into a bluff later. I wonder if I should start sizing

later. I wonder if I should start sizing up. I don't think so because I also just

up. I don't think so because I also just want to include like tens, jacks, queens, etc. that I have at this SPR. So

I think I'll go third pot.

Sizing up's interesting when villain check calls. I don't actually expect a

check calls. I don't actually expect a lot of ace king ace queen to check call 985.

I think they're probably weighted more towards scared over pair also because we're deep. I expect that to be the

we're deep. I expect that to be the case. So

case. So blocking any folds they do have a bit here with the ace and thinking they might be a bit overprotected on this line at the stack

depth. I am just going to check here.

depth. I am just going to check here.

I don't think this is a spot I want to bluff actually just given how they're constructed here. I don't I could be

constructed here. I don't I could be wrong about ace king like folding flop for B33. I just think it will a bit more

for B33. I just think it will a bit more often now. They're much more likely to

often now. They're much more likely to have ace king. I think they can still have some traps. 10 x of spades, jack 10, etc.

I block folds. I don't know how often a king jack just calls flop really on 985. I don't think that's that good.

on 985. I don't think that's that good.

He does have the ace of spades though in his defense.

But yeah, I was I wasn't anticipating all that many bigger AEXs there in that line. But maybe the play is to just size

line. But maybe the play is to just size up on flop and like bring stacks into play and start. Yeah, I think that would be better like just go a bit bigger on flop because if we have jacks, 10, queens, etc., we can just go bigger on

flop and check turn and just like reach an investment ceiling. We're not going to get raised at ISBR like hardly ever.

People just aren't going to mess with that. So we just go bigger on flop and

that. So we just go bigger on flop and then we continue to threaten on a lot of turn cards and we can be more safe in the knowledge that they are just folding ace

queen ace king immediately.

So I think it's a better play. I should

have gone a bit bigger here with 76 if I'm betting turned, but whatever. I go

for triple here. Turn very quickly.

Sizing wise, I think pot's totally fine.

50% fold equity, unblocking draws, under pairs, etc. Should be all right. Don't

think they really have a queen ever at that at that timing. A jack. Yeah,

that's probably mostly going to call us, but it's fine.

2.3 from the cutoff. No, generally just playing men everywhere. I mean, you can all these things are like totally fine.

It's no problem.

Didn't used to insult players who use RNGs. Um, I wouldn't say insult is the

RNGs. Um, I wouldn't say insult is the right word. I think there's a time and a

right word. I think there's a time and a place to use an RNG. You'll see I click this pretty rarely and I only do it where I think I'm indifferent. Um, where

I've taken issue with RNGs before, and it is viable to not have an RNG by the way, but where I've taken issue with them before is when people rely on them to make decisions for them in spots where they're just not indifferent at

all.

So here, this particular combo, I'm just playing pure rays against the lazy range bet. There's nothing wrong with using an

bet. There's nothing wrong with using an RNG if you know how to use it. Like it's

totally fine. This spot's interesting.

Like our hand here is massive, massive equity. And it's a very good turn card

equity. And it's a very good turn card for range. I also think it's an

for range. I also think it's an overfolded spot. And SPR wise, we're

overfolded spot. And SPR wise, we're going to want to go big here when we bet.

Something like this, I think, is about right. Maybe slightly smaller than this

right. Maybe slightly smaller than this was good. But like we can treat the five

was good. But like we can treat the five as a hybrid here. Like we're cleaning up equity. We're getting folds from a bunch

equity. We're getting folds from a bunch of better hands. We're denying equity.

And there's some more hands that might call like ace four orex of spades, ace queen of spades, stuff like that.

With no spade in hand and like some trace of showdown here, I don't think we should actually realize showdown here, but I think this hand's probably a check. It might actually still be one of

check. It might actually still be one of these combos that shves. You don't have a lot of one spade hands at all.

This could just be a jam actually. I'm

not sure. I should have thought about this a bit longer.

We have some like ace five also ace of spades which makes like the purest clearest bluff. Obviously I'm

clearest bluff. Obviously I'm not calling here because there's a massive absence of air when villain gets river in this line.

They are probably meant to bluff like case four by now like it's absolute bottom.

But I don't expect that to happen. It's

not enough of range anyway.

Diego says, "If they have scared over pairs, won't they be somewhat like to fold by river if you put max pressure on them if they're already scared on flop?"

Yeah, possibly. Like you could just take a completely kamicazi like I'm bluffing everything and I'm just going huge and I'm just exploiting line. Like you could you could try that. I think there are definitely turn cards that increase fold equity a bit more that I'd be more

inclined to do it pure on with that hand and the hand is not a fantastic candidate, but maybe maybe I don't know. I think I should go bigger just so I can like threaten

stacks a bit more easily. I should have just raised the jack four instead of timing out. But string chat

timing out. But string chat 3x pot check or giant check raise jack eight there for the most part I don't feel like I play very well today I'm just a bit tired like I'm feeling

I'm a bit not on a game mode certainly but I appreciate it like when you're streaming as well like And there'll be some people watching, I'm a bit less like inclined to just

take some like all out absolutely gigantic overbluff line versus a rag. I

mean, it's if you have aninity, anonymity, and say that word, then it's it's a lot more defensible.

should do a lot of check here and I will reopen basically very good A6 9 Plus looks like a combo that should be

bluffing river pure I think on that run out. So possibly just an under bluffing

out. So possibly just an under bluffing opponent.

So these days the tool kit I'm using on this board is just like one big blind queens. Either way is fine. Let's call

queens. Either way is fine. Let's call

this time.

This is the player that makes some content.

They're a bit more on the sort of exploitative side.

Should have bombed River Hack versus Hack. Yeah, I mean I didn't really know

Hack. Yeah, I mean I didn't really know he had ace jack, but I guess my read was off. I just think on a texture that that

off. I just think on a texture that that wet a lot of ace queen, ace king should be folding flop, but maybe it is just a big part of their range anyway.

Maybe 33 here. Maybe checking range here. Like that's a a valid strategy,

here. Like that's a a valid strategy, but queens with a club is one of the most one of the highest frequency bet hands that we can have.

I think we'll just jam at this SPR.

I think we beat some over pair.

Have a bunch of redraw as well with this particular hand. Yep. Let's go twice.

particular hand. Yep. Let's go twice.

It's fine.

Chop. Chop. As they say, I think you want to jam flop there. Um,

if villain is bluffing, like low EV bluffing, lower EV bluffing, like ace5, ace king, something like that, if all equity is far from useless, I think you

can get it in ahead of like jacks and stuff at some frequency. I think jacks can go for check raise there.

And if they have aces or kings, we're not folding too many turn cards anyway.

Um, yeah, I think I prefer jam to call.

But aces it would be different.

Just rolled another 19. Pretty sure I clicked it.

Rebet on that roll. Going to isolate this guy. This is the queen 10 guy from

this guy. This is the queen 10 guy from the start of the stream. I'm going to actually add a little bit of juice as well. Just size up slightly more than

well. Just size up slightly more than normal here.

Is NL more 100 more difficult to beat than 510 at local casino? I don't know about that actually. I think deep we do want to call 10 9 here.

I'd expect most people to be kind of straightforward in this situation.

B10 huh?

Which raise do I want to play with this hand? I think I do want to play a little

hand? I think I do want to play a little bit of race with this hand actually even in position especially the stack depth like ace 10 t 10's eights this hand can make jacks

queens kings fold it can get you so fold equity against a king jack at some point hands like that I think it should be rolled into the aggression line at some

frequency now what do we want to do though I think I'm just going to try and take a very scary line here

and continue the bluff.

We're going to go for like something economical though cuz I think there'll be quite a lot of inelasticity here.

We block 10. It becomes more and more important to block the top of villain's range in these spots as you get deeper.

It's not impossible that we make an ace fold here. Kings, queens, etc. The flop

fold here. Kings, queens, etc. The flop brace was quite small. Expect those to fold.

And like if not this water bluff's actually meant to be here. What's our

fold equity like against like ace king on this node? I wonder.

I don't think we have any showdown.

But ace queen is no longer folding. I

think this might just be too optimistic now.

That hand might just fold.

I don't know. That line is adventurous.

The queen river kind of sucks because all of the combos of ace queen that I've got there are now never folding. Ace

king is ace king. It's SPR.5.

Like it's possibly never folding.

But it's a it's a nut blocking hand with five outs deep. I think it's the kind of hand that takes that line or should take that line.

[Music] Generally in this pool, I don't feel that good about bluffing at that SPR because people are just a bit like gambly committed punty after they call turn. Turn is the spot I'm really trying

turn. Turn is the spot I'm really trying to like generate the the scared fold on because it's implied that I'll be jamming river quite a lot. I could have gone a bit smaller on turn actually. A

bit smaller on flop, a bit smaller on turn maybe, but I quite like the line with that hand um at some frequency at least.

Otherwise, like I don't think we're we're bluffing at the right frequency or the right hands if we don't do that.

What's up? How's it going? Hey Ken,

how's it going?

Welcome guys three. He's going to get a bit of three

three. He's going to get a bit of three bet on a 12 especially.

I don't know if they think they're inducing with B10 on flop and that's why they're getting sticky on turn. It could

be, but yeah, I do think against B10, you definitely want to be playing raised with your nut and stuff. That hand has just got to be going for it at some frequency. It's just not high enough.

frequency. It's just not high enough.

Eevee call sub Sultan of Swing. One of

my favorite songs to this day.

As a recreational player, um, normally I start with check in these spots, but I'm actually going to start with bet against the recreational here. I just prefer it a little bit because there's just many hands that

check back, but also call like and I'm going to just size up turn here because stuff like eights, nines, like villain almost certainly has like eights or nines here or ace jack or ace 10 or king

10, queen 10, queen jack, something like this. I think my hand is still good for

this. I think my hand is still good for B75ish stuff on river.

something like this against recreational especially after that turn timing. I

think I can just go a bit thinner just like absolute station like the 41 VPIP after they've called twice it's generally not a spot you want to triple

like the timing is a green light to triple but the VP is a red light so yeah full decity can be really low there. That was what put me off in the

there. That was what put me off in the other hand as well. Like the 10 9 if we were even deeper like I think I like going for it cuz then I'd be really confident the ace king folds but like

the bulk of range is ace queen ace king on that note.

Not so much ace jack because ace jack off just shouldn't really for bet as much. I guess it can

much. I guess it can but that stack depth. Yeah, maybe it can actually. I didn't think about ACEJ off

actually. I didn't think about ACEJ off being in there, but yeah, I think I think getting 33%'s optimistic actually as played there.

That's what we need to shove to break even. It's an interesting hand. I don't

even. It's an interesting hand. I don't

know.

Um, we know this guy's like kind of bad and volatile, but still it's 54 and he's kind of aggro bad and volatile so far. Not bad, I

shouldn't say bad, but like loose, like too loose in certain spots, let's say. I

don't know if they're bad yet. I thought

Pete's game was super theoretical. So,

the baseline that I go off of is super theoretical. The way I learn poker,

theoretical. The way I learn poker, teach poker, think about poker is theoretical. Like I think having that

theoretical. Like I think having that theory, understanding is very important.

Like understanding that this is like a slightly losing call at equilibrium or something like very slightly losing or that this is like a break even open but then definitely doing it because recreational player and definitely being

in it to win it because recreational player raise flop is actually interesting here. I should have given

interesting here. I should have given this more thought.

I'm not going to try and bluff this node. We do have a bunch of showdown

node. We do have a bunch of showdown here and equally I just don't don't expect it to be a great spot. Bet check

bet on the king river. I just don't think there's enough air now for us to win against.

So easy fold. But yeah, I think raising flop is good. Just small raise because like they're just overextending. They're

betting too often. We have the deuce of diamonds. We have the maximum which just

diamonds. We have the maximum which just means villain slush draws are like slightly lower equity. We have the maximum like vulnerable maximally vulnerable pocket pair. Like I think raise flop there is actually better.

Small race flop check turn. go from

there. Sometimes win against a queen, ace king, deny a ton of equity, sometimes [ __ ] a boat and a giant pot.

Yeah, I think raise is actually higher EV than Calder. I was just a bit too quick.

Why did I bet the turn in the 10 nine hand to generate folds from jacks, queens, kings, and ax that decides it doesn't want to play for stacks and is very often going to have to. I think you

can easily overestimate or underestimate how often people do fold an ace in that spot. That villain didn't. And another

spot. That villain didn't. And another

reason I don't like bluffing river is I think that a lot of the people who will fold ace jack on river might have just folded turn. Honestly,

folded turn. Honestly, why not check back turn jam river? I

just don't think that line generates I don't think it's very believable. I

don't think it generates that much fold equity. Basically

equity. Basically some three bit with eights here. Not a

ton.

I'm I think I'm still going to three bit because this guy looks loose enough to cold call three bits and ace queen is just like not an amazing hand to play in

a small pot multiway. I am all for like calling a lot of hands on this node though in general with this player in the pick blind but I I think with ace queen off I dominate enough of the cold

calls and I still just want a three bet.

Why doesn't Cruiser 20 post new videos on YouTube anymore? No idea. I've not

really spoken to to Cruiser in a while.

He's probably just busy grinding to be honest. Like Cruiser's definitely a

honest. Like Cruiser's definitely a poker player first and foremost and a content creator secondary.

Secondly, God, I cannot talk today.

What about set up a higher SPR in Jam River? That's an option. I mean, I think

River? That's an option. I mean, I think like you can't have your cake and eat it, right? Like the more fold equity you

it, right? Like the more fold equity you want to get sooner in the hand, the bigger you should go, the more you want that to be later, the smaller you should go. But it's kind of a trade-off. If I

go. But it's kind of a trade-off. If I

go kind of small on turn with the intention of always betting river, that has its price as well, right? Like you

just run and take a queen, you get stacked, like it has its price. You get

less folds.

Like I don't I I also don't think that like kings and stuff hangs around on turn really ever in the human domain.

With sevens with a diamond against halfbot here, we have to continue.

I just don't think that happens.

It's one of the more vulnerable pocket pairs. Like it's probably

pairs. Like it's probably it's probably with the diamond calling it some low frequency, but I'm just going to fold it.

It might be calling it a low frequency on the turn with the diamond and not without be my guess.

You can't fold all of your pocket pair on turn there. You're not supposed to.

Sevens is just more vulnerable to villain bluffs. It's going to get

villain bluffs. It's going to get outdrawn more often by like 10 nine and stuff if that is betting turn.

So I'd rather have nines or something.

But that said, certain people are going to overgluff that node. So I don't I don't hate like calling down there. But

seven's diamond. It's not a bad hand to call Iron with honestly.

He tends like break even. We'll just

focus on this hand over here and we're do a few different things. I'll just

start with pots recreational here.

Could start smaller as well or check after you've potted and got this turn and they like don't snap check turn. I

definitely think check is better than bet here.

And after you've potted flop as well, like you're just going to it's going to be a stronger range when it quickly calls flop, like your fold equity on bet check bets just not going to be as good.

Like if you're used to playing a B33 game and then you do switch to like a big bet game on flop, you're going to find that like your bet check bet lines just don't work as often because they just have more like top pair, more

higher more high absolute hand strength hands landing on river basically.

Hey Tom, what's going on? Have I tried coin poker? No, I've not. I can't really

coin poker? No, I've not. I can't really be bothered playing on other sites. I'm

playing mostly for content, right? So, I

just want to stream something watchable for you guys more than anything here. That's what I'm trying to do. So, I'm quite content just playing here.

Sadly finished my coffee.

Guys, if you play bridge, check out Ignite Your Bridge YouTube channel. I've

set it up. I set it up a while ago, but I've decided I'm going to start using it. Document my bridge journey. It's

it. Document my bridge journey. It's

kind of like my passion, right? Is in

bridge right now. And

ace 10. I don't really care actually.

I'll just I'll just fold here. The

reason being I can see this guy in position just being a bit sticky to three bits. So just passing on a break

three bits. So just passing on a break even hand seems right.

The fold equity is a bit reduced. The

only reason is like he's four bit Hjack off. He's been a bit sticky in that hand

off. He's been a bit sticky in that hand obviously. Not that he should have

obviously. Not that he should have folded turn. I'm not saying that. But he

folded turn. I'm not saying that. But he

could have and he didn't. So that just like moves him a bit towards being more stationary. But check out ignite your

stationary. But check out ignite your bridge. I'm going to document my bridge

bridge. I'm going to document my bridge journey on there. Um sevens.

I honestly don't know. I think it's like super close.

Fold call. Both. Okay. Ace 9 starts to get more pure.

Going to go like men in against this guy. He's playing 31 vip. He's probably

guy. He's playing 31 vip. He's probably

just playing very badly. Scale edge in position. Queen 8 sucks, but I think I

position. Queen 8 sucks, but I think I can make this winning.

Tiny bit or check.

I'm going to go for tiny bit. Just like

pro and sort of push a few buttons here.

Hopefully snap calls. I'm just going to like hope to get called down by like jacks or whatever. 16 32

something like this.

Okay.

Expect a lot of merges here. Like

obviously that sucks that we run into that hand sometimes, but expect like king jack and stuff to shove some draws.

We want the board to pair ideally one time.

So kind of rough cooler. I mean running into like trips over trips there. Yeah,

you could say it's what I deserve for three bet and queen eight, right? Fair

enough. But I think overall like it's a lot of big blinds just flowing towards regg in position playing against fish out of position there.

Just got to knuckle down guys in these sessions. Keep playing.

sessions. Keep playing.

Why do you say the 41 vip is a red light for triple barrel? Because when people have called twice that are volatile players.

My computer freezing or is GG freezing?

I think GG's freezing.

That was weird. Are we still live, guys?

Did anything go wrong with the stream?

Are we still good?

Um, this is close. I'm just going to rip it. I don't really care,

it. I don't really care, guys. Not like a huge net or anything

guys. Not like a huge net or anything like that.

and we'll run it twice.

So, the reason I said that we should give up. What is going on here? Is it my connection?

here? Is it my connection?

Sorry if the stream's lagging, guys. I I

don't know what it is. Whether it's me, it's probably the stupid internet to be honest.

Yeah, it's not a good hand to call down either. Blaze of glory. It's just like

either. Blaze of glory. It's just like indifferent.

Like it being not a bad hand to call down just means like it's not losing the call down in theory. That's all that means.

Any date for the mm mystery course?

Neither of those words is mystery by the way. No, but we are going to do early

way. No, but we are going to do early access. There's no way I'm going to wait

access. There's no way I'm going to wait until it's all done to release it.

You're going to be able to watch it as it's being made, but I do aim to release like 40% of it in the initial release or something like that.

Something like that. So, you're going to have early access to that course and then there'll be like an episode appearing every week. That's the idea.

on this particular turn card like ace queen ace king ace check should bet pretty often.

I just think B75 or something like that's probably the right sizing for river. A lot of combos of like

river. A lot of combos of like especially with quick turn check a lot combos of like a four, a5 kings, queens, jacks. You could maybe go pot as well. I

jacks. You could maybe go pot as well. I

think it's okay to go pot there.

What's the easiest way to note recreational players in fast build games? um that they don't have a full

games? um that they don't have a full stack basically. Also like giant pre

stack basically. Also like giant pre flop sizes, weird lines like donking pot, you want the flop, any non-standard line that a reg would never take. Like

honestly, any line a reg would never take, it's almost certainly a recreational. That's not too strong of a

recreational. That's not too strong of a read at all.

It's so easy to get results aren't in poker, right? Especially when you run

poker, right? Especially when you run like a bluff for 120 pick blinds, it doesn't work.

It's very easy.

We go half pot in this pair turn. Leave

the door open for like a bit of Rex spew.

Generally, their range is going to be very weak there. N3 is not really an openness, but I didn't notice 17.2 big blinds. I just saw a recreational stack,

blinds. I just saw a recreational stack, so it was short. I didn't quite compute what it was exactly.

I think this back door and just like general hand is fine for this line.

I don't know. There might be a thing where like hearts shouldn't, but it's all right.

Now, I'm going to be a little bit more equity driven than this.

And generally on river here playing like pot check.

I don't think it's going to do well. The

general way I'm playing this spot is to give up this node against like an average rag.

And the connection's going again. I

might just wrap this up, guys, because the connection's like really unstable and like timing out like just getting like I don't know. Has the stream suffered? Like, have you guys like

suffered? Like, have you guys like noticed the stream breaking or is it just GG?

Just trying to figure out whether we should keep playing here or not.

How come your three bets are smaller than standard GTO three bets? Because it

doesn't make a big difference. And

keeping the pot below a certain rake cap is fine if you're playing like a small C is good if you're playing a small C bet on GG. Like there's a certain rake

on GG. Like there's a certain rake threshold. Um but equally I just want to

threshold. Um but equally I just want to three bet very wide. And when you're in position like you're using a linear range. A lot of the hands in there are

range. A lot of the hands in there are just doing it for isolation purposes.

They're not thick value. They're not

like that polar.

They're not really not really doing much that makes them want to go giant.

It doesn't matter. These things aren't important, guys. This This isn't where

important, guys. This This isn't where you should be focusing. This isn't where your EV is being won or lost, right?

It's mostly going to be like understanding ranges like where do you have fold equity? And on that river, if you're playing B200 on flop against this pool, you have to understand that

they're getting to the river with tons of top pair that should be indifferent and second pair, and they're going to have to fold a decent amount of that to another pot-siz bet, but they're going to probably default

towards overalling that node after they call a flop B200. It's just how human nature works.

So like there's a baseline tool kit and then I recommend like because you're playing kind of funky lines, your opponents are going to play unbalanced against it.

No lag. Okay. So it's just GG basically is lagging which is kind of shocking.

Like think we're just going to time out another hand. It's a profitable open

another hand. It's a profitable open because of it.

Not ideal. Look at this. We've pressed

open. It's just like timing down. Might

have to call it, guys.

Unless this resolves.

Yeah, code crush 20 is live at Car Corner right now. If you're looking to get a discount on any courses, if you're looking to finally take the plunge, start a proper poker education, do the carrot poker school or whatever it may

be. Um, this is obviously a joke, but

be. Um, this is obviously a joke, but what can you do? Today things did not go our way. like small losing session of I

our way. like small losing session of I think like a buy in in the end is all.

But yeah, we took some ambitious lines that didn't work out. But that's that's how it goes sometimes.

This is so silly.

Hopefully next time we do Crush 100, we will not have these disconnection issues from from the site. I'm pretty sure it's GG's fault. But yeah.

GG's fault. But yeah.

Yeah, I think for our EV's sake and sanity sake, we should probably call it.

I've got some other work I could be doing. Not that I really want to do the

doing. Not that I really want to do the other work, but playing on a lagging site's not going to be fun either.

Yeah, I'll see what shorts I can generate from this. Probably the 109 hand for sure, but see what other things I can send to the editor. Thank you for joining, guys. Sorry it's a short one,

joining, guys. Sorry it's a short one, but yeah, disconnection issues not really good for playing poker. I will

see you next time. More streams later in the week, I hope. Take it easy.
