- BW seems to really like the idea of 3-betting Ax type hands, probably A7 or A8 and better.
- Don't stop being aggressive until your opponents GIVE you reason to.
- "Cross that bridge when you come to it"
- "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
- So don't stop raising, 3-betting or c-betting until your opponents play back at you by floating, c/r'ing, 4-betting, etc.
- Have a sense of urgency when there is a fish at your table. Imagine him with a timer over his head and every second and hand that goes by where you are not involved, that timer counts down until he loses all his money. With that in mind, it is OK to play more hands than normal and push thinner edges in an attempt to stack him. If he wins, then his timer increases, giving you yet more time to get your money back and some.
- Example from video: Bad Aggressive UTG with ~60bbs raises to $1.75, CO calls, Hero in SB with Ad8s raises to $7.50, Bad UTG raises All-in to $27.65, CO folds, Hero?
- Hero decides to squeeze a Bad Aggressive UTG open and gets 4-bet shoved on. She is getting 2:1 on the call at this point and this is a great spot to push our thin edge. The 3-bet squeeze in and of itself is profitable and getting 2:1 against a player who is capable of playing back with a wide range, a call here is mandatory. Even if she doubles him up, she will have future opportunities to stack him.
- Hero calls and UTG shows Q5o
- Folds to Hero in HJ with 87hh. Hero raise to $1.75, BTN (14/10) calls $1.75. Flop: Hero bets $3, BTN calls $3. Turn: Hero? Board: Flop: Ts5cTc ($4.05) Turn: 7s ($9.75)
- BW explains that by betting the turn we are denying the villain an opportunity to realize his equity which is another way in which we gain value. The villain's range on this flop will consist of a lot of floats, pocket pairs, some draws, and monsters such as Tx and 55. The 7 on the turn improves our hand to beat some pocket pairs, floats, 5x, and draws with high cards. By betting the turn, we deny our opponent odds to realize his equity and the opportunity to play perfectly and for thin value. Overcards have roughly 12% equity and draws have more.
- Calling to keep the fish in vs. immediate value. Unless there is a very compelling reason to keep the fish in or if the situation in which your immediate value is very thin, you should always go for the immediate value.
- Example: 3-betting ATo vs a loose player or calling to keep a loose SB fish in. If you had a hand like JTo, calling would be better since 3-betting would be too thin. ATo is too strong to flat and the immediate value is too great.
- Try things out early in the session to see if it works. c/r someone you think will fold a lot, raise a donk to see if they will fold, 3-bet someone to see how they respond, etc. Finding out early in the session allows you to play better later as you have valuable information on your opponents.
