NLTRN video: Decent opponent gets spewy

[Insane_Steve]

Ok, on this hand I kind of wish I'd have paused a bit when villain shoved to explain my reasoning behind the loose preflop call with 76.

Reads: Villain is decent albeit somewhat tight. Villain does not raise preflop all that much and suddenly has 3-bet me two hands in a row, also making a smaller than standard re-raise:

In my mind in this hand, a good part of the reason I called is not due to my hand's strength (although in position my hand gets a lot stronger). This is the second hand I've 3-bet in a row. I'm also not going to wait for strong hands to raise my button, and it seems that folding two hands in a row like this invites villain to 3-bet me rather light preflop, which is also part of what I thought was happening already. Of course, villain had a big hand but I can't know this.

Flop call wasn't that hard for me. The only hands I don't want to see are a set (which is not shoving here), 88 (which might play this hand like this), or two overs + FD (actually probably his most likely holding, although I didn't mention this pf). I can't think of any other hand that I'm in bad shape against that 3-bets preflop. Against two overs + fd (Say AhKh) I'm not a big dog at all here although I am somewhat behind, and against an overpair I have 13 outs and it's basically a race. Of course, a lot of times you see total crap here like AK no draw.

76 call was fine preflop because it seemed like he was just getting frustrated (although he actually had a hand). The post-flop call was standard for this level of opponent. I snap-call a huge overbet shove on the flop like that. It's such a donk move and extremely obvious that they either have bottom pair or two high cards that missed. It's one of those psychological things where your donk-opponent is frustrated that he missed the flop and thinks that if he bets enough you won't call with anything but a monster.

Oh and gulon, I wouldn't focus so much on the math for HU poker. It's much more feel and understanding your opponent. You really only need basic math calcs to be successful, and a ton of experience in understanding the flow of a match and betting tendencies etc...

There's a couple of ways, you can open it in an internet browser with Flash capabilities, or you can download a standalone .swf player. I use Swiff Player as a Flash player.

Just download the file to your desktop and drag it into Internet Explorer or Firefox. It will play there.
