manu, im really interested in hands 1 and 3, yu checked back the turn on extremely wet boards, obviously hand 1 with AT your hand is a lot more marginal than in hand 3 with kings, would yu mind explain your thought process?

I don't have 3 kings in hand 3

It's basically some pot control in both where the turn is quite bad for me.

Ahh I meant hand 3, where you had kings haha and okay

wanted to ask the same question, how come u check back KK in 3rd hand on turn? are u calling every river with this betsize?

Almost... In the coaching Benjo said he is leaning towards a fold but personally I think calling is better. The guy can still lead Qx and I don't think he just calls JT and 22 on flop. In other words, I think he has more made hands worse than KK and fewer value hands than Benjo. I need to be right like 26% of the time so it can't be bad to call. With more info on opponent's tendencies I would very often bet the turn.

Can you explain your c/r sizing in the KK hand? Is this your standard sizing?
I would have expected bigger..

Is there reads behind c/raising here? Or are you doing it with your entire value range?

Time bank problems!

We risk 20 to win 30 and change, so I guess around 2/3 of the time? could be off lol

Either way I kinda like the play even though I've never had the balls to do it, people 4bet bluff with such trash that they can't call particualrly often.

On the other hand we obviously fold all our equity if he jams after we've already shoved 1/3 of our stack in there, and are obviously kinda getting the right price with a lot of hands vs a decent part of our opponents range.

140bb deep, 30bb is less than 25%.
