00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Hello there, Welcome into another episode of the Lola mccash

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,960
Games podcast. Glad to have you here. A reminder, at

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,480
the end of the pod, we'll tell you how you

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,359
can get more training. Teat you how to crush and

5
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:15,439
destroy low stakes hold them if that's what you're looking for.

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,160
As of the time of being recording this, we actually

7
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:21,760
have a very rare opening in the one on one

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,120
coaching tier. By the time you hear this, it may

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,079
not be open, but you may want to check on that.

10
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:29,679
Of course, the links to all that stuff is down

11
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:31,839
in the description below. Not going to spend a lot

12
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:33,719
of time on it now because that is the agreement

13
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,039
I made with you guys several years ago. So here

14
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:39,079
we go. We're going to talking about playing top pair

15
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:43,399
out of position, probably specifically top pair top kicker, but

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,759
it could also be like top pair really good kicker,

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,759
like you know, Queen high flopping. You have King Queen

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,719
that's really good. Obviously Ace Queen be top pair top kicker,

19
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:55,840
but hands like that. Trying to navigate with the top

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,880
pair hand out of position is you know, difficult. It

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,239
requires some nuance, especially if you have two opponents in position.

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,120
You're gonna have to balance some aggressions and protections and

23
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,000
pot control. Your strategy is gonna hinge on a lot

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,200
on the flop texture, what we know about our opponents

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,359
and their tendencies. Of course, stacked depth has always comes

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,079
into play prior actions of opponents, et cetera. Especially if

27
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:26,560
we have you know, some information in a situation exactly

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,680
or similar to this, that helps a lot too. All

29
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:31,599
that comes to just paying attention in the game. I'm

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,879
gonna do a breakdown on when to bet, check, check, raise,

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,840
bat fold and spots like this. Now, I just have

32
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:39,000
to worry. This is not the end all be all

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,680
treaties on how to play top pay out of position

34
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:46,640
to multiple opponents. It just doesn't like there's just a

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,959
ton of nuance. You should just really be paying attention

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,319
to your game. I'm just going to try to give

37
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,480
you some, you know, some general guidelines and if you'll

38
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:58,359
start thinking about hands in this way, you know you

39
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,480
can advance this either to you know, get better at it.

40
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:06,920
So this is for sure just some basics. But you

41
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:09,479
know number one is pretty much going to be flop textures.

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,280
So when you're out a position to multiple opponents, flop

43
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:15,960
texture is king and determining how you want to proceed

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,319
with a one pair hand, and in this case specifically

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,199
a top pair hand top pair of top kicker will

46
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:25,039
call it or top pair you know, really really good kicker.

47
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:32,800
So on these dry, unconnected type flop textures, so for example,

48
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:36,159
we have king three deuce rainbow, so it's not suited.

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,439
There aren't a lot of straight draws to speak of.

50
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:41,120
Of course, there could be some gutshot wheels with like

51
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:45,000
ace four, ace five, but not really strong draws. If

52
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:47,159
you've raised pre flop, which you should have. If you

53
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,280
have a top pairent top kicker do hand, you probably

54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,719
should have been raising or maybe even three bettings. Sometimes

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,919
mostly just raising though considering we're out of position to

56
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,400
multiple opponents, so you know, four or five for open

57
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:03,879
ended shouldn't exist a lot, and then you have the

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,400
best top pair, right, So if you have ace king

59
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:10,439
on king three deuce, you know you just really have

60
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:12,840
a kind of a stranglehold on his hand. Almost always

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,879
no looks. Rarely you'll run into sets of deuces. Rarely

62
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:18,639
you'll run into sets of threes something like that. But

63
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,800
for the most part, the hands that will be in

64
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,080
there with you will be worst kings and then like

65
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:29,520
pocket jacks, pucket tens, pocket nines. So given the very dry,

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,240
very static nature of the board, we want to be

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,439
bett and smaller twenty three percent pot something like that.

68
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:40,479
You know, drym board just means they just really don't

69
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,039
have much to continue at all. They mostly really have

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,319
nothing except you know, lower pairs that you probably won't

71
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:49,080
get much more than one street of value out of

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,360
or worse king X. Now the worst king X will continue.

73
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:54,599
And that's the great thing about a flop texture like

74
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:56,479
this when they do continue. You know, if you just

75
00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:59,319
say you bet third pot and they continue, you know,

76
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:04,599
sometimes that'll be like pocket nines, pocket tens, but more

77
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:08,120
often it'll probably be just another top pair hand a

78
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:10,319
reasonable percent of the time, which will allow you to

79
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,520
potentially size up and get more value across a ton

80
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:19,959
of turns. When you have these medium type flops, especially

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,480
these medium connected cards and suited all at the same time,

82
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:28,319
these can present a bit of a problem when you

83
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,240
have a one pair hand like a top pair top

84
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,959
kicker hand. So a good example this would be like

85
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,800
Queen of Clubs, nine of diamonds, four of clubs, so

86
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,600
man pre flap calling ranges just smack this board. When

87
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:42,439
you raise and get called pre flop, I mean they're

88
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,120
calling you with all kind of nine X. They're calling

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,959
you with jack ten for open ended, they're calling you

90
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,360
with all kinds of queen X. They're calling you with

91
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:51,160
some gut shots. So they'll be calling you like king

92
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:54,959
ten king jack that will want to continue. They're calling

93
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,519
you also with clubs, so club draws will want to continue.

94
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,560
So when you have a flop like this where there's

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,360
just a ton of hands that want to continue and

96
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:05,759
you have a top pair type of hands. So example

97
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:07,399
on Queen nine four or two clubs, if you have

98
00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:11,480
ace queen here, you know, against two opponents out of position,

99
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,680
you know, we want to be betting about half poet.

100
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,240
We want to be trying to get value, we want

101
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,120
to be trying to protect against draws, and you know

102
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,920
extract knowing that there's just a lot of hands that

103
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,160
will continue. We're rarely ever behind on this flop again,

104
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,560
Queen nine suited as a hand people play. Sometimes we'll

105
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,079
be behind on like you know, two pairs and then

106
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:33,360
obviously sets of nines exist and then sets of four

107
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,319
is less often exists depending on what the race size was,

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,680
et cetera, and the players in the hands, so it's

109
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,040
opening to straight and gut shot straights, flush draws and

110
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,360
combo draws and all this stuff. With two opponents, it's

111
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,600
they just have a fair moniquity or stuff that wants

112
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,319
to continue, and there's a lot of turns that make

113
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:52,519
it dicey. So betting this flop's pretty important, you know,

114
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,480
and not betting a huge though, like we don't want

115
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,439
to really bet it, like monstrously huge, like eighty percent,

116
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:05,319
because now just running into bloated pots across some really

117
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,319
scary turns, so it moves from you know, its extracted

118
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,360
value to us potentially putting ourselves in some bad situations

119
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:15,480
on turns. We can explore other options, for example, going

120
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,560
with a check raise here, So if you have a

121
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:20,360
very aggressive ponent still to act after you that may

122
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,319
bet this, if you check to them, this might leverage

123
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:27,480
you into making a check raise here. Again, this is

124
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,160
going to be opponent dependent, so there's something you will

125
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,360
be paid attention into the hand. And then can we

126
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:35,600
take a bet fold line ever, so you know, if

127
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,319
you bet, you face a raise, you know, try to

128
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:39,920
figure out who your opponent is, like if he's a

129
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,879
really tight player, really snug player that you don't see

130
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,040
get out of line much and would never be raising

131
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:48,079
you with like Queen ten here on this board of

132
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,120
Queen nine four. Like if they're just never raising Queen

133
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:53,040
jack or Queen ten, it's that kind of opponent. I mean,

134
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,920
you can just fold. They probably doesn't have Queen nine

135
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,000
for two pair or set or something. That's those typeponents

136
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,680
don't tend to raise flow straws as well, so you

137
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,639
know they're probably not raising that. So in extreme scenarios

138
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,759
like that, you can take a betful type line. Now

139
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,399
let's be one with some really really really wet board textures.

140
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,600
So we're talking about dynamic, wet, all the words, all

141
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,040
the words. So let's look at a board like Jack

142
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,519
ten nine with two spades, So Jack ten nine with

143
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,279
two spades, and again, I guess, for just for an example,

144
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,480
let's just assume we have ace jack here, so top pair,

145
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,279
top kicker on Jack ten nine with two spades. These

146
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:38,120
middling cards with the multiple draws and all the connectivity

147
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,639
and everything just smacks so hard a ton of pre

148
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,360
flop calling ranges. You just almost always only be betting

149
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,319
small here when you decide to bet, you could also

150
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:53,759
just consider checking sometimes, especially the more you know you're

151
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:58,240
about your opponents. But I mean, the amount of hands

152
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:00,759
that are ahead of you or have a ton of

153
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,519
equity against you are enormous. You know, people love to

154
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
play the connectors, so you have ace jack top pairs

155
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:07,800
up kicker, but they can have jack ten for two pair,

156
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,240
jack nine for two pair, ten nine for two pair, seven,

157
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:15,240
eights for straights, Queen king for straights. I mean, depending

158
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,079
on who your opponent is. You know, rarely you might

159
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,959
see the old queen eight suited for a straight or something,

160
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,480
and then you get all the flush draws with the spades,

161
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,600
and then you have a lot of combo draws. So

162
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,920
let's say that they have like Queen ten of spades,

163
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,519
so they're open ended with a spade draw. Like just

164
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:36,000
so many many hands that'll continue here, And depending on

165
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,279
who your opponents are, you definitely would want to be

166
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,840
proceeding in ways that make some kind of a sense.

167
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:44,080
So you know, I like this' is a generic rule

168
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,440
of betting about third pot here into one or two opponents.

169
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,200
The one thing that you should be thinking about is

170
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,080
if you have a very adept opponent, that's still to

171
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,919
act after you who can knows that this flop is

172
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,840
bad for most of your range and will put you

173
00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:02,039
to the test with a lot of race. You should

174
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:04,519
just look to check call here and see what develops

175
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,320
on turns against an opponent alike that specifically that very

176
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,960
specific type of opponent. Now, check raise here. Is this

177
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,799
ever effective? It's highly effective, especially against certain opponents. If

178
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,799
you have an opponent that will raise their draws and

179
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,720
stuff and they're aggressive, kind of like the one we

180
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,759
were talking about, if you go for a check raise here,

181
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:30,559
this could be pretty powerful. So the problem with that

182
00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:33,960
is is that if it's like a regular run in

183
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,559
the middle of low stakes, more passive opponent, you don't

184
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,799
want to be going for jeck raises because they could

185
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,720
just have two pairs again the jack tens to ten nines,

186
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,519
the jack nines, the you know, flop straits and all

187
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,320
that kind of stuff. So it really depends on who

188
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,120
your opponent is. If you check and they bet, do

189
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:56,440
you want to go for the check raise? So you know,

190
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,360
as was is most everything in poker, so way, you

191
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,879
want to be painting and understanding your opponents and their

192
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:06,159
tendencies as well as you possibly can. You know, against

193
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:08,360
these passive opponents, going for a check raise will just

194
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:10,960
put you, you know, check raising into the nuts a

195
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,080
lot of the times, or you know, near nuts two

196
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,159
pairs of stuff that's just be very difficult for you

197
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,000
to catch up to. Whereas if you have very aggressive

198
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,759
opponent who understands this board is really scary for you,

199
00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:27,320
and maybe they have you know, draws and opportunities to

200
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,840
improve their hand and stuff, they would just become aggressive

201
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,759
and just bet when you check to them, and so

202
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,399
it'd be you know, more in your interest to be

203
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,480
check raising those type players. Can we ever take about

204
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:41,600
fold line here? I mean, I'd mostly avoid it unless

205
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,440
you're facing like a really large raise from a passive player.

206
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:48,799
So again, if a passive player raises you, they they're

207
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,799
just not raising their draws. That's not how passive players play.

208
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,279
So on this board, which is super scary, I would

209
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,480
probably seriously considering folding to them when raised or when

210
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,759
you check and they bet for large value sizing end

211
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,639
to you. So you always want to be making opponents

212
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,879
specific adjustments. Right against passive opponents, you generally just want

213
00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:15,080
to be betting smaller when you have value hands for

214
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:17,480
value like top pair top kicker. They're rarely going to

215
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:20,120
bluff raise you, so you're not gonna be putting a

216
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:23,679
lot of difficult spots. Only you know, maybe when they

217
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,600
get right out of line with some really big raises,

218
00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:30,600
would you consider that aggressive opponents you can check raised

219
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,480
on these really wet boards to exploit their their you know,

220
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,600
tendencies to bluff and try to take down pots on

221
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:39,559
stuff that they scary. On dryboards, you can kind of

222
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,720
bet and call down if raised, because they can just

223
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,159
have air sometimes it's less likely that Just keep that

224
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,399
in mind on when this these really dry and static boards,

225
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:52,679
it makes it less less larger. Now, if you're in

226
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,759
a hand and you have a really loose calling station

227
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:57,279
after you, you should just always be betting large because there's

228
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,720
not folding anything. So just get maximum value from them

229
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:05,200
with their gut shots and their back doors. And then

230
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:08,240
of course they're you know legit draws as well straights

231
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,879
and flush draws and stuff. They're going to chase the

232
00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:13,039
draws no matter what, even on the turn of one

233
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,320
card to come. So when the draws don't come and

234
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,039
you get the blank turn, you should continue to be

235
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:23,720
at large because they just won't fold. We talked about

236
00:12:23,759 --> 00:12:27,080
stack depths, like always be considering stack depth in every hand,

237
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,200
but especially when you're out of position, especially multi way.

238
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:32,919
You know, when you got these shorter stacks in the

239
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,279
hands like less than fifty big blinds, like top pair

240
00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:39,120
of top kicker, you can just become pot committed. You

241
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,720
can bet large and be ready to stack off because

242
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:45,720
top pair of top kicker is good enough. You know,

243
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:48,240
as you get deeper deeper stacks like over one hundred

244
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,759
big blinds, you want to start bringing your bat sizes

245
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,240
down a little bit. And most circumstances, not all because

246
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:56,600
we talked about some of the circumstances where you wouldn't,

247
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,679
but just generally speaking, your back sizings will come down

248
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:03,320
the deeper the stacks get, and you can utilize this

249
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,679
check raise spot versus loose and aggressive opponents when you're

250
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,840
in hands with them. But for the most part, the

251
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:12,200
deeper the stacks get, you want to avoid bloating pots

252
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,360
when you're out of position, especially when you don't have

253
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:16,279
a clear pen and for sure, if you don't have

254
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,159
a clear understanding of the opponents you're in the hand with.

255
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:23,120
Let's take a look at a hand that we might

256
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,960
potentially play like this. So we have ace king, and

257
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,080
we have two opponents in position to us. One of

258
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,840
them is a loose opponent, one of them is a

259
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:33,039
tight opponent. We have ace King, and the flop comes

260
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,600
King seven duce rainbows. It's very dry, it's very static.

261
00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:40,919
Two of them position again, one loose, one tight. We

262
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,440
should betting like sixty percent of the pot here, fifty

263
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,399
percent of the pot here. I think sometimes, you know,

264
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,879
thinking about these loose opponents, especially their calling stations, they

265
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,279
might call a little bit more often. You could also

266
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,039
consider betting smaller. If that's not the case, if you

267
00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:58,200
don't have an opponent like that in the hand, than

268
00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:01,600
this board is just so you know, drying static. That

269
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,080
betting smaller, as we mentioned back at the beginning of

270
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,960
the podcast, would probably be wiser. She's gonna have to

271
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,679
lose a bit of judgment there if you do the

272
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,840
bet this and the type player folds and the loose

273
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,039
player calls, which is what we're going to assume happen

274
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:16,600
in this particular instance, and then you get a turn

275
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,000
that's like a five of spades here, so King seven

276
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,399
deuce five, that's all rainbow. You should continue betting because

277
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:29,759
this loose calling station type player probably just has something

278
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:33,279
they don't want to fold necessarily yet, and that card

279
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,559
is a complete blank. If you do bet that and

280
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,320
get called and you get a card like a three

281
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,399
on the river, this could look somewhat scary to some

282
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,240
people with the seven, five or three douce out there,

283
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:47,039
but it's really not. You should just continue to value bet. Now,

284
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,639
let's flip this around and assume instead of that flop texture,

285
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,279
we have like a king ten nine with two clubs,

286
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:55,000
So we have ace king on king ten nine with

287
00:14:55,039 --> 00:14:59,879
two clubs. I would check this sometimes if we have

288
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,600
an aggressive, you know, opponent after us, like a lag

289
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,919
or somebody that you know when check too, really wants

290
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,919
to go for it. This is a it's a great

291
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,279
flop to do it because they have a lot of

292
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,120
hands they might want to do that with. And see

293
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,519
we can go for the check raise here and check

294
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,639
raise them big. It's a pretty good spot to do that.

295
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,600
So it's just like a couple of examples the way

296
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:24,000
you'd be thinking about hands, especially as it relates to

297
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,480
your position, your stack sizes, and the player types that

298
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:28,320
you're in the hand with. When you have top pair

299
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,639
top kicker type hands. Just remember top pairs vulnerable, prioritized

300
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:36,399
betting for value and charging draws over doing any kind

301
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:38,799
of a bluffing on you know, in these type spots,

302
00:15:38,879 --> 00:15:41,919
especially on a lot of those board textures, you can

303
00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:44,840
leverage this disadvantage you have from your position by check

304
00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:47,720
raising sometimes when the when you know when the when

305
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:49,679
the situation calls for it, so be able to look

306
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:51,919
out for that and always just be an adjusting to

307
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,399
the player types that are in the hands with you,

308
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,159
so you can exploit these knits with small bat sizings

309
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,679
because they'll either just have something that may have you

310
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:02,000
crushed or these won't have anything, and so small bet

311
00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:06,559
sizings accomplishes everything when you're betting against them. Now, if

312
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:08,759
you have if you have like calling stations in the hand,

313
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:11,720
you can bet bigger because they're just not folding for anything.

314
00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:14,360
And then be looking out for these maniacs where you

315
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,240
can take these check raise spots against them. When you're

316
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,639
out of position, you want to hero call a lot

317
00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:25,480
less you know, unless you you know know something about

318
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,879
your opponents or something you know that would allow you

319
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,519
to continue out of position with one pair of hands

320
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:35,000
against you know specific opponents like this, it's pretty hard

321
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,320
to continue too much, so we can start to continue folding,

322
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,559
especially as it proceeds across multiple streets, in other words,

323
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,039
past the flop end of the turn and into the river,

324
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:50,039
so top pairer out of position. It's a marginal hand

325
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:52,480
in multi way pots, right, and this the more multi

326
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:54,440
way and super multi weight is, the more marginal this

327
00:16:54,559 --> 00:16:58,240
hand becomes, you know, against one or two players for sure,

328
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,720
played aggressively on these dry and active boards, more cautiously

329
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:06,640
on wet connected ones. And anytime you get a knitty

330
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,480
person or a tighter person, or especially a passive person,

331
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:12,960
or a combination of all three that raises you, you just

332
00:17:13,039 --> 00:17:15,240
have to be willing to chunk your top payer top

333
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:19,319
kicker type hand away. I hope this episode of the

334
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,440
podcast has been somewhat helpful to you. A lot of

335
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,519
stuff we talked about down in the note sections below,

336
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:28,799
as is the link to my Patreon. Full blown Low

337
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,720
Stakes Poker Training is what we do over there. I

338
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:34,000
use Patreon because it just saves me a ton of money.

339
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:36,799
I don't have to pay for designers, web hosting, all that,

340
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,680
and it allows me to make your ability to sign

341
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:42,160
up and get a lot of great training super cheap.

342
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:48,519
Twenty five dollars is pretty darn cheap. So you're just

343
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:50,640
going to get a ton of well I can't even

344
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,759
I don't even know many thousands of hours of content

345
00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:54,960
we have in there, but it's a ton. You'll get

346
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,200
the access, of course to the discord where we talk

347
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,960
a lot of strategy, We go over hands. It's a

348
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,720
great group of people. There's several crushers in there, by

349
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,359
the way, if you show up, you do join, and

350
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,359
you join the discord and whatever. Every players have different colors,

351
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,400
and you have me see somebody whose names colored and red.

352
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,400
They are a bona fide crusher. I have verified they're

353
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,359
a crusher. Mostly there are people that I've worked within

354
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,920
a one on one setting, and I know their charts,

355
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,759
I know their graphs, and I know their games. So

356
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,240
just a little tip for you in case you join us,

357
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,400
that doesn't mean you can't take advice or discussions with

358
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,960
anybody in there. I just you know you'll you'll recognize

359
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,960
those guys with the red name over there's are resident crushers.

360
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,319
If you just want to be a fan of the

361
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:38,119
pod and you're like man, I enjoy this podcast, you know,

362
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,319
once a month, and I learned from it, like I

363
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,599
can't I can't tell you how many messages I get

364
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:45,400
every month new people find the pod for the first time,

365
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,319
and when I just get so many messages about people

366
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,160
making their way through the pod. You know, we used

367
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,359
to do it every single Sunday for free, free and

368
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,279
for clear, and I did it a ton. We've now

369
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,799
moved it over where we just do the one free

370
00:18:56,839 --> 00:19:00,839
episode a month. I still do episodes every Sunday, but

371
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,880
I reserve the other Sundays besides the one you're hearing

372
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,599
this on this month, are reserved for people who have

373
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,480
become fans of the pod. And this is just somebody saying, hey,

374
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,200
I want to support what you're doing. I appreciate what

375
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,559
you're doing, and they toss me five bucks. So if

376
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:16,559
you've got five bucks to spare and you really like

377
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:18,119
this kind of content and you want to get it

378
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,119
every single Sunday, not only that, but it's ad free,

379
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,920
fluff free, so you don't get any stuff like this

380
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:26,759
in it. It just punches. There's no advertisements, it just punches,

381
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:29,920
gets in and out straight to the point. Become a

382
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,680
fan of the pod. And then obviously even want some

383
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,519
one on one coaching. As I mentioned at the beginning

384
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:36,720
of this podcast, as of me recording this now, I

385
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,880
don't know if that'll be the case when you're hearing it,

386
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,680
because I schedule these things. But as of me recording this,

387
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:43,880
we have a spot open right now, which is very rare,

388
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,160
like rarely do I have a spot open. I capit

389
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,440
as to how many people that I'll work with because

390
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,400
I'm not in this for a career or for a

391
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,799
money or for a lifestyle. You know, a lot of

392
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:57,519
these poker sites, I mean, that's their career, that's their

393
00:19:57,599 --> 00:19:59,960
source of income, that's how they put food on the table.

394
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,480
That's not the case for me. So, you know, while

395
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:04,400
I do charge money and stuff, because I don't do

396
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,960
anything for free. You know, I try to make it

397
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,640
all super cheap and affordable. You can't find anybody to

398
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,920
coach you on how to play for one hundred dollars,

399
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,400
and it's not even that really because you get to

400
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,640
be a member of the twenty five dollars tier. So

401
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:19,039
you know, the price is one hundred dollars for coaching,

402
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,200
but you're getting all the twenty five dollars tier access

403
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:24,599
so you're really only paying me seventy five dollars for

404
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,759
an hour by time, and I got to say it's

405
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:29,400
a heck of a deal because generally I don't do

406
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,319
anything for less than one hundred dollars an hour. That's

407
00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:34,519
a rule less sept for myself many many years ago.

408
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,000
So the links to all that stuff is down in

409
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:38,920
the information section of this podcast. You want to go

410
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,519
down to that, or you just type it in and

411
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:42,680
head on over to low Limit Cash Games dot com

412

414
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,119
If you do enjoyed the pod. I haven't asked for

415
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,880
this in a long time, but one of the greatest

416
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,240
ways you can support the podcast spec by leaving us

417
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,160
a five star review over on Apple Podcasts. That'll help

418
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,519
out a ton. All right, thanks so much. I have

419
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,440
enjoyed being here with you today. I hope you have

420
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:05,039
as well, and we will talk to you in the

421
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:05,519
next one
