What is your favorite check-raising story?
Hello Jonathan, greetings from Brazil! Since I started consuming the content on your channel, two incredible things have happened. Firstly I started putting my opponents into a range and not into a specific hand. (yes, I used to do that). Secondly, I've been having a lot more fun playing poker. By the way, I'm a recreational player, but I constantly try to improve my game. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us.
That's fantastic! I'm so glad the content has been helping you, keep it up 👊
Hi Jonathan on which turn should we keep betting as a bluff ? Am I right if I keep betting on the following turns: 1- turns that complete my draws, 2- turns that improve my draws (from backdoor flush draw to flush draw), 3-High cards to the flop
Great Video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just won a tournament of 79 people (buy in 25 € 1st place 572 €), after watching your videos on how to play versus loose passive players and tight passive players, thank you!
Nice work!!
Hey Jonathan, can you make a video on how you structure your value bet sizing? Do you value bet say, based on the worst possible hand you can get called by or the best possible hand you can get called by?
Having a range legend (color for raise, call, fold - orange green blue etc,) would be helpful as you dissect hands so we can look at other aspects as you discuss. Thanks!
Hi Jon great vid. Say when we raise on the flop facing a small bet with our junkier draws, btn calls and our draw equity improves on the turn considerably, if we check and face a turn bet do we then shove? Or lead out, shove?
Are we commited or can we fold?
Im still trying to understand everything. Thanks.
What do you do when they call the check raise or shove on you?? Like im confused why on a board with 3 of same suit we are almost always check raise with bottom pair 3,2 suited
on Ks-9s-3s: how does it make sense to only call with As9x for fear of being 3-bet shoved on if you check raise, but with K9, you're supposed to check-raise and then call a shove? wouldn't you have more outs with the As than you would would top 2 (K9)?
your first example shows BTN betting 3.5BB -- but I don't think it's mentioned what stakes this game is?
Hey Jonathan. Recently I was in a tourney with around 12k in chips 100/200 blinds. I had Ad6d and the flop came out Qd10d and 2d. I was UTG and raised around 1k with only middle position calling. the turn came out Ks and I bet around 5k with the other guy calling. the river came around with another 10 and I alled in and he called with a boat. In my mind i tried to extract value but ended up losing. what could I have done better???
I'm not Jonathan, but overall, I think you did fine. I would choose a 1/4 pot to 1/3 pot size bet on the flop given that you have the nut flush, can't easily get out drawn, and it's a dynamic board that is likely to change drastically by the River. With that thought process, you may be thinking, then why bet small if you have the nuts and the board is likely to change? Well, you bet small to not commit your stack, and it protects you from check-raises. Which are common on these board textures. You will get check raised by a lot or pairs, 2-pairs, draws, and sets on this board. When that happens, you drop a 3-bet for value and to protect your smaller bet sizing. Ultimately, you are waiting for the Turn card to determine if you want to commit the rest of your stack.
When you get to the Turn, this is your inflection point. (If you didn't get check-raised) You can either play for stacks or play smaller. If you play for stacks, choose a more polarizing bet size, such as 2/3 pot, 3/4 pot, or larger. Which it seems you did. I would play for stacks when I get a non-board pairing, non-diamond. aka the board has not changed dramatically. Choose whichever size that leaves a River shove of 2/3 pot, or so. And I would bet all Rivers in this scenario.
But you can have 2 sizes again, 1/3 pot for River cards that don't help you, like a low non-diamond or a low board pairing card like a 10 or 2. And an all-in size of ~2/3 pot for the remainder of the River cards.
In general, you played the hand just fine, and more than likely you were doomed to get stacked no matter how you played the hand.
OK instead of an encyclopedia I'm just gonna say don't extract max value on a paired board with a flush
But what is the size of the check-raise?
I think people check raise so little that you don't really need a polarizing range until you get up to higher level stakes. You can check raise with nothing (I guess that would be polarizing) when you believe the opponent has a weak hand by this small bet and you think he is trying to steal the pot.
JL, I clicked on download charts on your site.... no download... looks like it's ok, but nope.
what if opponent checks too.oops.
Then your draw gets to see another card and reevaluate 🤔
There's only one rule: if your opponent checking back is bad for you, don't check raise. Otherwise? Get creative.
You should not C/R with your high equity draws that would have to fold to a re-raise/all-in.
If it's a high equity draw, you should be able to call it all in when you get re raised. you have high equity. That's the exact spot where you want all the chips in the middle.
Call the all in with your high equity draws ldo
Let me know where you play, I wanna play with a sissy nit
@@parkroote5902not really
Think about what you said. High equity? Definitely raise unless u want to win a small pot.
