00:00hello Rachel you are up next hello Bart
00:02how you doing pretty good pretty good
00:04you got a hand is this Boston Harbor
00:06Encore or it is okay so and is this 25
00:12yep 25 on a Saturday night all right so
00:15two5 actually I haven't been in there on
00:17a Saturday night ever at Boston Harbor
00:20Encore it can get pretty busy in there
00:24the games are okay I I know you play
00:26during the day you know I tend to be
00:28there sometimes on a Wednesday or
00:29Thursday and it's better on the weekend
00:31but you really you have to time the list
00:34just right on a Saturday or you can wait
00:36for a very long time yeah there's
00:38there's I mean obviously they have poker
00:41Atlas but you know there's just a finite
00:44amount of tables for sure and they're
00:46all getting they'll get used up and most
00:48of them they use for small Stakes games
00:50so yeah you can get jammed up there
00:52actually I wanted to go in on a week I
00:55wanted to go in I know you're a
00:56subscriber Rachel I wanted to go in on a
00:58weekend to go play ultimate Texas hold
01:01them because I have this whole thing
01:03which is a table game I think it's a
01:05great way to break even for comps I'm
01:07I'm kind of over video poker but you
01:10don't get an edge in that game unless
01:12it's why unless uh the casino is full
01:16full of drunk people and there's like a
01:18lot of and it's really crowded and
01:20there's a number of reasons why and I
01:22haven't been into that casino when it's
01:24like that like I'm there during the day
01:26so you might see me there one weekend
01:27actually just playing ultimate Texas
01:29hold them as I sus out although I I will
01:32say like I've in any wind property I've
01:34never really seen any weak dealers or
01:37table I mean they usually run their
01:38stuff pretty it's very hard to get any
01:41type of advantage in a in a win property
01:43unlike Caesars and unlike MGM and I will
01:46be going over a small segment I think on
01:48my Flagship podcast about ultimate Texas
01:50holdom ultimate Texas Holdem is just a
01:52table game I mean the way the game set
01:54up is it's negative EV it's just that
01:55the dealers can't read the board because
01:57they're Blackjack dealers and there's
01:59other certain things that you you
02:01basically freeroll the casino on the
02:02mistakes that they make and they will
02:04Short Change you in the opposite
02:06direction but if you're watching you
02:09don't get you don't allow them to make a
02:11mistake against you but you allow them
02:13to make a mistake in your favor it's
02:14basically how it runs okay so 25 Boston
02:17Harbor one Kap and how deep are
02:20you um 1300 effective with this villain
02:26yep all right so I am in the big blind
02:31and look down at Ace of Spades King of
02:35Spades okay all right so uh folds to the
02:39cut off who raises 20 then folds to me
02:4775 so cut off raised to 20 hero three
02:5275 at 1300 effective so just
02:56over uh just under 4X I mean you could
02:59certainly could go a little bit larger
03:02definitely want a three bet though okay
03:04and he calls I yeah he does I usually go
03:06to 4X plus any dead money but since he
03:09was the only player in the pot I wanted
03:11to make sure I got a call there um so
03:13trying to to get something that would
03:15allow him to come in with weaker hands
03:20225 he for bets well that's
03:24interesting that's definitely
03:25interesting because I mean again like
03:27you are in a situ just laugh I'm looking
03:29down here at our one of our content
03:32creators Nate saying just bang slot
03:34spart better return on your money than
03:36table Gams just find 97% return I assume
03:39Nate is trolling me you know you can
03:41play blackjack with all the best rules
03:43like at stand 17 for minus. 2% at MGM I
03:48sorry anyways I digress and ultimate
03:50Tech s them is better than that but
03:51you're in a situation here where you can
03:54call with a lot of medium strings to
03:55hands here right out of the big blind so
03:57you actually are in somewhat of a situ
03:59uation where you can be a little bit
04:00polar three betting here out of the big
04:03blind because you can call with a lot of
04:06medium string stuff so then when
04:07somebody forb bets you when you can do a
04:10lot of calling and you are probably
04:12value skewed it should be fairly strong
04:15like I I don't know why someone would
04:17choose to forbat a really strong range
04:19with something like say seven six s
04:21suited 78 suited something like that
04:23with that being said I think probably
04:25the play here is to call I mean the
04:27theory goes you're supposed to like put
04:29in the all always the extra bet with Ace
04:30a and Ace King suited as a balance but
04:34it's hard to really have a five bet
04:36range in live poker cuz we've talked
04:38about this many many times cuz the podt
04:40is already going to get bloated so if
04:41you want to play call everything once a
04:43forb comes in I think that that's
04:45fine you could also Jam I mean you could
04:48Jam if you thought if you thought that
04:50there was fold Equity against like
04:51queens and Jacks if you ever forbat
04:56Jam yeah I certainly thought about
04:59jamming um or I thought about you know
05:02raising and and what H would happen next
05:04I think the problem there is we're just
05:06so deep if we had been more like 800 900
05:08effective I probably would have just
05:10jammed because there's in this stack
05:12size I felt like there was a little bit
05:14of room to play post flop so I I'll just
05:17bring up here um my husband thinks that
05:19quote I should have considered a fold
05:21and I think that's crazy so I just
05:23wanted to say that yeah thank you what
05:25is your husband is he playing the micros
05:27like one two or something
05:30yeah uh he mostly plays PLO but I mean
05:33he you know had a lot of oh
05:35fold what I'm not holding these things
05:39suited no no no no yeah I I disagree
05:43with that uh I mean sometimes you might
05:45find a fold in an extreme scenario with
05:47like an Ace King offit but not C no no
05:51no no all right so you make the call and
05:53uh the pot is 450 bucks right yep yeah
05:58so flap is Jack Jack of clubs 10 of
06:01Spades six of Hearts so Jack of clubs 10
06:05of Spades six of Hearts okay so I check
06:10uhhuh and the villain checks behind
06:17weird that is weird because he's
06:19supposed to be he's supposed to be he's
06:23betting pretty much everything here I
06:26mean I I suppose maybe he thinks that
06:28you have enough Jackson TS here but at
06:30this stack depth like again it's
06:32supposed to be one of these like rangy
06:33types of bets like get a four bet pot so
06:36it is a little bit strange right off the
06:37bat now maybe he is petrified that you
06:39have jacks or 10 but you know and also
06:42too like if he you know if he bets like
06:45less than say half the size of the pot
06:47you Pro you have to continue I mean the
06:49only time you're not going to continue
06:51is some ridiculously large bet so but it
06:53is very I think it is somewhat strange
06:55that he checks it back so it goes check
06:56check okay so turn is the eight of clubs
07:00okay I decide to lead here um because
07:04like you said I do have Jack in my range
07:06maybe I have pens in my range maybe I
07:08have Queens in my range maybe he has
07:11queens and he's scared of me and can
07:13full I mean I think that you I think
07:15yeah I mean I think you could I don't
07:17even know people in live chat saying
07:19that like he could be sandbagging Jack
07:21Jack I don't know if he has Jack Jack or
07:2310 I think he's legitimately you guys
07:25have either the same hand or or he you
07:30might be able to get him off of like
07:31queen queen or something like that and
07:33it and it is a uh a pro it's probably a
07:37better board for you now that I think of
07:40it than the four better if the four
07:42better is not it certainly is a better
07:44board then if four better is not you
07:46know for betting jacks or 10s I don't
07:48know if that necessarily means the for
07:49better is supposed to be checking though
07:51cuz you know again you guys have like
07:53about two and a half potsize bets left
07:55but one thing I would say of note here
07:58though too is is that if he does have
08:00queens that eight brings in obviously a
08:03gutshot here to a nine with Queens so if
08:08you bet and he calls you're probably
08:11going to have to go for it I would think
08:13and you just hope that he doesn't have
08:14Aces or kings that he's checking back
08:16and make some sort of hero call of
08:17course you block that so I ended up
08:19betting 200 on the turn which in
08:22retrospect I think is a little bit small
08:24but what I was trying to go for was I'm
08:28repping Jacks I'm repping something
08:30that's just such a monster I don't want
08:32you to fold well if you bet 200 and he
08:34calls the pot's going to be 850 and you
08:37guys are going to have 900
08:39left yep so I would prefer probably to
08:45maybe 250 to 300 so that I can actually
08:49set up a shove at the end because I
08:51don't know I mean again if you
08:53call also too like sometimes if you go
09:00Ace King's going to fold here at 200 I
09:04think sometimes you're going to find
09:05yourself in a guessing game on the river
09:06and again any Queen is going to call
09:09here too as well and you might get some
09:11ACE Kings and stuff to fold out too so I
09:14would probably go a little bit larger
09:17here to set up a larger River b i
09:19assuming he calls he does all right all
09:23right so we're 850 yeah you're 850 850
09:27with more than a potsize bet left right
09:29yep river is the three of Spades well
09:32this is what I'm talking about because
09:34now you're left with a potsize bet bet
09:36you you're left with a potsize BET right
09:38I would like to see a larger bet on the
09:39turn so that he would fold off some of
09:42Kings and now he might still have some
09:47Kings I just don't see how you're ever
09:49good here literally ever unless he
09:51somehow forbet Ace Queen and then he
09:54forb Ace queen as a bluff and then check
09:56back the Flop and then called the turn
09:57with a double gutter on the
10:03suppose see here's the thing this is
10:05such an extreme ex there are situations
10:08where we want guys to fold and I see it
10:10all the time right we talk about this on
10:11the show a lot where sometimes betting
10:14less and making it look more
10:23valueee but here I think especially if
10:26you're a woman and you bet like
10:30it's pretty strong because you got to be
10:32capable of bluffing in order to do that
10:34I mean I would still mostly Bluff here
10:37maybe for a guy like me it's 2/3 maybe
10:39for somebody like you it's more credible
10:41to to bet pod or it looks sort of
10:44stronger but it's quite a little
10:46situation I think I would definitely bet
10:50and I would go at least 600 no that's
10:53help I mean it's good feedback like one
10:55thing I'm still working on like in my
10:57game is structuring you turn size
11:00correctly to get the right River size
11:02and so this was definitely a hand where
11:04I I didn't do that so it's good feedback
11:06there so I went 500 on the river I mean
11:09which is more than half pot so what do
11:11you think what do you think he's gonna
11:13fold what do you think he's going to
11:14fold out here I think he's going to fold
11:16his King I think maybe there's a chance
11:20that he folds Queens I still think that
11:22some people are going to convince
11:25themselves just to call like if they
11:26check back any overpair they're going to
11:30to to call um after checking back so I
11:33think that's why you need to put a
11:34little bit more money in and again an
11:36alternative play here is to just upfront
11:40Jam get it in you know pre flop what
11:44happening so he tanked
11:47forever and ended up making the call
11:50uhhuh um you want me to reveal sure yep
11:54uh Ace King off he tanked and called
11:56with Ace King off yeah so you ch stopped
12:00yep wow that's crazy that's a terrible
12:08call that is a terrible terrible call
12:12wow because like what does he beat he
12:14blocks a king right yeah so I asked him
12:19I was like why did you call me there um
12:22and he says well I just didn't think
12:23that your hand looked like value which
12:26kind of surprised me I mean I I know I
12:30my bets could have been bigger but to me
12:32the small turn bet you know looked a lot
12:34I was trying to make it look a lot like
12:36value sure so I I don't know where I
12:39could have played it differently to
12:41better make my hand look strong um to
12:46fold I mean yeah I mean I guess my
12:48question to you is like would you play
12:50queens and kings here the same Queens
12:52Kings and Aces you'd probably play the
12:55right I think ases I might just ship
12:57free okay but yeah I think I would play
13:00queens and kings exactly the same
13:04way yeah that's so if that's the case
13:07and I do believe that Rebecca um the
13:10fact that he holds Ace King in his hand
13:12is just that's ter I mean I don't know
13:14what he's hoping for that you have Ace
13:17Queen that's amazing yes poker is
13:20alive um but thanks for calling in I
13:23really appreciate it
