Think and play in range (mtt low, mid limit)

Posted 8 years agoEdited 8 years ago

This one is very hard for me, and I know that it depends on every different situation and which poker players you're playing.

But somehow, I would like to know how, when and what players could have mostly

2 examples:



and this



Like you see, best hand folded...

Is it all about bet to show you're having the best hand?

These guys are just the best in the world and have a lot of experience playing live poker. They will also pick up on live tells and have the courage to make these plays.

It is hard to explain what is going through their heads but a little guess would be

Hand 1) He floats with backdoors and position. He calls one off to see what villain does on the turn or to see if he can turn equity. once he believes villain does not have a nutted hand and will fold he follows threw.

Hand 2) 6 betting is just not often gona be the nuts and these 2 will have had a lot of online history and possibly live. I feel Paul was out his depth here and just played the hand incorrectly.

Hand 1, SB is calling the 4bet, preflop. That means lowpair or 98s?

and 700k in pot of 2,5m is weak, that means lower pair? Or AQ and affraid for A Ko or K 8s ??

Hand 2, I don't get it why he is 6betting and then folding? His 6bet decrease his stack with almost 50%. He should here call the 7bet all in but that's not what I asking.
What do you actually mean 6bettin is not gonna nuts? Beat by any A 7+ ?

Stapleton's analysis in the 2nd hand sums it up: "Good old fashioned stack-swinging contest...good for TV, but bad poker."

As for sizing in 1st hand, usually deep in MTTs, cbet sizes in 3bet pots are smaller than you'd think. Everyone is so shallow by that point, so the math bends a bit. I am not even close to knowing the "solved" math sizes, I just know the theory.
