  1. i know that this is probably not that hard of a fold here vs rdcrsn, but I just want to know what hand here u think hes just flat calling both pre and the flop with and then betting huge on the turn?

  2. I wouldn't reraise preflop, or bet the flop, but as played i'd fold the turn very very quickly
  3. really looks like a set

    qq?

    Don't know his early game too much, but doubt he's flatting QQ on that board the way action had gone down?
  5. Is something like a combo draw in his range pretty often? Something like AsJs/Js9s? Obviously he'd be getting the right odds to call both pre and on the flop. If so, it makes sense for him to lead that turn if he has someone on a set or AA.
  6. well bottom line is I dont think aces are good here vs russell. gf
  7. doubt its a set, i feel like he raises this flop after you 3 bet pre. is j9ss a possibility?? dno if hed call the 3 bet pre against someone who isnt going to stack off with 1 pair.

    Can you explain your reasoning behind this? Why would you not raise preflop, just curious?

  11. prolly cuz it narrows ur range down to like 2-3 hands and playing that deep makes u rather exploitable (even if u have position agianst a thinking player) when ur hand range is that narrow. Thats why flatting here is correct (not against some but against rdcrsn) becuz u will be much harder to play against when u can have many more hands. Rdcrsn should call kind of light here preflop if he knows u have QQ AK+ with lots of combo hands hoping ull stack off on certain flops

    Cuz you turn your hand face up obv. Theres like 2 hands you r/r with.
  13. rr v super good tricky player is exploitable bc u turn ur hand face up and he can play perfectly against ur range. i think moorman says dont bet flop bc ur hand is either AA or AK and rdc can play optimally vs that range so cbets dont really have that much value. If you want to rr AA here you also have to raise random suited connectors adn stuff enough that regs know you can rr light in early levels of a tourney
     
  14. against russ this is a super easy fold (unless there is some pertinant history)... hes never betting the turn with AK... he either has KKK or QQQ 99.99% to bet that turn imo. plus im pretty sure hes not a fan of playing dusty hands oop and likes to flat early.

  15. so what do you think he has here by the way the hand was played? It just seems strange all the way around the way it was played
