I like the very small bet on the flop, hoping to provoke the check raise. That's how I would play it. I would not 3 bet the flop, but I would plan to bet all turns if he doesn't bet the turn - even spade turns. I would call all turn bets, even spade turns. Even the Ace of spades.
I'm snapping. You're good most of the time and because of the combination of cards visible, you're literally never dead - you've got 10 outs against a flush and 10 different outs against AA.
I called with this hand, which I usually don't do. Unless it's a Tuesday morning and I ate a big meal. Then again, sometimes when the button is wearing sunglasses I may call with this hand. Especially when I am dehydrated. And there's those times when...
3-bet all in on the flop. Fish will put you on a flush draw or lower pocket pair than them too many times. If he has KK, QQ or JJ, an over card on the turn will scare them. Just put the money in on the flop. Don't overthink it.
Re river decision. This caller is thinking way too much. Instant call. Villian would never do that with AA.. Ot the nut flush so tou could rule them out ..
I think the lesson for a lot of these hands is that anybody can sit down at a poker table and buy chips. Not everybody, and not even close to everybody, knows what they are supposed to do in all of these situations. It does make it somewhat hard for the thinking player who can’t put themselves into these player’s minds.
Bart, you play at encore Boston, but you have never seen a rec player go bananas and donk it off with AK off on an ace high board when the front door flush hits and just bangs it in without even a spade to back it up... this is such a quintessential Encore Boston story it makes me laugh that it's in Vegas..
Barts says "im not giving this guy credit for a play that advanced" yet the hero made the worst pre flop call in the histpry of poker and hit his 8%. I cant see anyone advocating calling a 3bet and flat of that size Out of position. Terrible play rewarded. How does Bart even entertaining this caller?
The turn jam is really weird. Even AA would have to think twice about jamming right? Hero can easily have flushes here. I think you have to call with 66. Especially with the spade.
You don’t need too many as long as you balance it out with value. Most of the ones you listed are enough. Some he shouldn’t be showing up with as played preflop
What an odd line for AKo. Villain really thinks that he's representing spades on that board? There's just no way with that line he took, like mentioned he basically never even has KQ spades. Also you obviously can't assume that when your opponent calls that he could be on spades unless hero has KQ spades then. Everything else folds pre and maybe KQ as well. So the jam is essentially against strong overpairs, and there aren't many because you block AA and KK + those would 4-bet pre, so that leaves QQ-99, and since QQ 4-bets pre it's just JJ-99 and then 88 + 66 sets. Btw you could make a case for folding 99 or TT to the check-raise, but not always. So essentially villain just has no understanding of the strentgh of hero's line, when you get called to a check-raise it's always strong or a very good draw. Villain shoving turn is just a terrible play because you're only targeting JJ-99 with that bluff jam everything else calls in hero's range.
This was clearly just pot entitlement by villain. 3-bet preflop with AK, goes 3 ways and whiffed the flop but instead of just check-folding decides he’s owed the pot because he had a strong hand preflop.
No disrespect to the caller but just based on this hand alone, i think he looks like the weaker player, not the so called recreational player. He tried to set mine when the stacks are so shallow and wasn't even closing action. Villain made a nice move on the flop and just got unlucky in running into a big hand.
Eh he's effectively closing the action. SB is never trapping there in a 2/5 game with a straddle on unless the straddle is 3 betting an absurdly large amount, which means he's never backraising. The turn from the villain is awful. It makes no sense. He didn't "run into a big hand", he ran into a marginal value hand that came almost never get called by worse on turn. What hand does hero have that double flats pre, bets into 3 people and calls a check raise that can call here and isn't ahead? I literally can't think of one.
villain's play makes absolutely no sense, he bluffs flop, gets there on the turn and then blasts the turn, turning his hand back into a bluff when he doesn't need to. What is hero calling an all-in with in this spot that villain beats? the flop check raise is fine, the turn jam can't possibly be a winning play
Is it just odd to me that a "professional" poker player cries about an amateur "tourist" poker player putting on a straddle, or does everyone know how odd it is for a "professional" poker player to bitch about more money being put in on a hand by people that a "professional" poker player should beat at least 5 to 1, if not 20 to 1? Granted it's better to be lucky than good. I realize that luck is 50% of the outcome of every hand. Otherwise people like Dneg & Ivey & Hanson & Little & Owen & Petrangelo & Dwan & Rampage & Burton...they would never lose to inferior players.
They will lose to inferior players sometimes, that's just how poker goes. I mean, Jamie Gold beat a lot of superior players in his Main Event run. Not a single one of them would ever complain about a bad player putting more money into the pot dead, tho lol
It's more odd to me that a professional poker player calls a 5x 3bet then flat call with pocket 6s. 4:45 seconds in, fold....Outcome is irrelevant. Losing play.
This is a bit pointless in my opinion. Set in a 3bet pot 3way, in position, dry board, even gets checkraised. Absolutely dreamspot, and you cant fuck it up, whatever you do, unless you fold. Which he didnt
@@nicholi2789 it’s not out the question sure. Feels a bit like pot entitlement really. Guy gets AK preflop, 3-bets it and then feels like he deserves the hand.
@@nicholi2789 kind of thing I do when I’m on tilt tbf 😂 “I haven’t been dealt a hand all night I finally get AK and these fish keep catching the flop with their J8 offsuit or whatever! Well I’m not letting them beat me this time! I’ll check-raise it to rep AA!”
On the turn when hero calls and states “hey if you ran into the Ace, then that’s on me” - if I was villain I would get excited and think my AK is good! Then the hero turns over his set and I would be livid. (Inwardly angry)
@@arcadion448 Villain didn't think he was good when getting snap-called.. However when hero says "if you ran into the Ace, then that's on me" then as the villain, I would get excited! Only until Hero turns over his set: then I realize "oh, he meant to say 'if you ran into a SET of aces', not just a pair of aces".. Hero didn't mean to say it that way, but it would be interpreted as only a pair of aces.
caller is biggest pseudo reg ever lmao. it’s always funny hearing a perceived fish by the rest of the tables inner monologue on how they justify their shitty plays.
I disagree with Bart this is typical rec behavior. They love AK pre, check the flop if it doesn't hit. Rec tried to cr bluff the flop bc he figured that was the only way he would win the pot. Recs don't like to throw away AK easily, and hero made the bet so small villain probably thought a c/r could get him off a weak hand or draw. Villain hits one of his cards and makes a fishy all in move with the flush made and sets out there. Maybe he assumed the ace of spades was a good blocker for heros nut draw hands, but probably doesn't think on that level. Also, the hero flatting the open raise pre was not gto, but can be exploitative on certain tables. However, flatting the huge 3bet was -ev. Ak is the only hand you have a slight edge against. Aqs, aqo perhaps sometimes. But most of the time you'll be up against a big pair TT+ . A5-2 suited and K8-5 suited are possible 3bet bluff hands and maybe smaller pocket pairs as semi bluffs, but we're talking about a rec player here.
Why do callers talk like they are so much more than they really are? I'm living the dream.....yeah this villain was just a tourist. Maybe that tourist is superior to you! I could tolerate this caller for maybe 2 minutes in person.
Is this the same caller who called a couple weeks ago and played like a fish and got lucky and the villain was bluffing? How is it that 9/10 calls on this channel are when hero loses the hand or folds and get no reveal, but he has called in twice in a month winning a hand. He is not as good as he thinks he is.
I read the title and thought you were going to at some point talk about how it is essential to tip in cash games😂 they only make min wage without tips, can't play a game without a dealer.
It isn't absurd when you're playing in tough games where the button or blinds are very likely to squeeze because then you're basically playing OOP not really getting good set mine odds and if you call 30 and fold to those squeezes, you're just bleeding money in the long run. At 1/2 and a lot of 2/5 tables, you can get away with it due to the passive nature of the games.
What would you have done in this spot? Hero call or fold?
I'm shoving the turn and probably losing value
I like the very small bet on the flop, hoping to provoke the check raise. That's how I would play it.
I would not 3 bet the flop, but I would plan to bet all turns if he doesn't bet the turn - even spade turns.
I would call all turn bets, even spade turns. Even the Ace of spades.
Too many people play AK this way to fold. You will occasionally run into AA but that's how it goes.
Calling all day.
I’m shoving flop always vs a loose straddler. Never folding turn.
I'm snapping. You're good most of the time and because of the combination of cards visible, you're literally never dead - you've got 10 outs against a flush and 10 different outs against AA.

Yeah I have no clue why you wouldn’t shove. It makes your hand look like AJss and recs with overpairs will never fold.
100% agree.
No brainer shove on flop. Villian never folds...maybe 1 in 100 times.
Re river decision.
This caller is thinking way too much. Instant call.
Villian would never do that with AA..
Ot the nut flush so tou could rule them out ..
Yep - KISS IT.
If he 3 bet this flop, the villain is insta mucking, so....

It does make it somewhat hard for the thinking player who can’t put themselves into these player’s minds.
Think it’s a snap when the ace of spades comes you’ve got house outs to a flush and flush outs to a set of aces
If the “rec tourists” are straddling, you straddle. End of story.
Was looking for this. And try to convince the table to do the same.
I get the AK, maybe, but the no spade is the absolute crazy spot because with any set or flush you have ZERO equity
Bart, you play at encore Boston, but you have never seen a rec player go bananas and donk it off with AK off on an ace high board when the front door flush hits and just bangs it in without even a spade to back it up... this is such a quintessential Encore Boston story it makes me laugh that it's in Vegas..
I think it was the flop X-R that surprised him.

I cant see anyone advocating calling a 3bet and flat of that size Out of position. Terrible play rewarded. How does Bart even entertaining this caller?
Lol at this hand.... Even if behind on turn, you're getting great odds and have outs
The turn jam is really weird. Even AA would have to think twice about jamming right? Hero can easily have flushes here.
I think you have to call with 66. Especially with the spade.
I wouldn't have even made it to the flop. Am I a huge nit or something?
No. This was a partial on the original flat. It should be folded most of the time after the squeeze.
So what are the hero’s hands that 3! Bluff the flop?
T9ss, T9hh(?), 97ss,97hh, 54ss, 54hh, 65ss, 76ss….what else?
You don’t need too many as long as you balance it out with value. Most of the ones you listed are enough. Some he shouldn’t be showing up with as played preflop
@@supersmoo7377yeah it’s not like hero should have a huge value range here so he doesn’t need a ton of bluffs.
So they were very wrong. If they make a play like this with AKo, they certainly can have KQ, KJ, KT, QJ of spades.
What an odd line for AKo. Villain really thinks that he's representing spades on that board? There's just no way with that line he took, like mentioned he basically never even has KQ spades.

Villain played the whole hand terribly to be honest
This was clearly just pot entitlement by villain. 3-bet preflop with AK, goes 3 ways and whiffed the flop but instead of just check-folding decides he’s owed the pot because he had a strong hand preflop.
Worst case scenario we have 10 outs. You can't fold.

Even against AA you have 6 of spades
