In this video Eric reviews some of the more interesting hands he has played recently at $2,000 NL 6-Max. Eric discusses his lines, opponents hand ranges, board textures and how he plays vs. fish and regs.
I have memberships to Leggo, BF, DC, and CR. This was the best video I've seen in awhile. Super interesting spots. Keep this format and the highstakes coming please.
-one side note, thought the bet on the river in the first hand was pretty bad. You only get value from KT/AT, every other T is two pair. He has tonnes of 2 pair, straights and flushes in his range. Versus his range, I think the bet is poor.

Dogg--very nice video. In the HU hand with KJ when you bet turn and get check raised I am wondering why you oppose jamming right then and there? If you plan to call turn and fold some rivers you run a huge risk of folding the best hand. If you do not plan to fold river I can't see how jamming is not superior considering he almost always has good equity but may not continue bluffing on some rivers.
The river bet in the first hand is likely too thin as many people have mentioned. I suppose it was kind of an in the moment/strange fish dynamic which made me feel confident at the time that I could actually get called by worse. Definitely not a standard bet. My intentions with that hand was to open up viewers minds a little bit, although in retrospect and even while I was making the video I felt the bet was too thin.
Apprciate the kind words fellas, glad the video has been well received.

Good points you have made. My intention with playing the hand as I did was to play bluff catcher. Given the nature of the board and a vey good/creative opponent, I felt that the majority of his hands were draws, although often quite strong draws. The turn card brought two possible flush draws in addtion to the straight draws. If I jam the turn, he will fold a bunch of his weaker draws, such as the hand he had, call with a bunch of his big combo draws, and call of course with all hands better than mine. Shoving the turn may also result in him folding some of his strong combo draws because we were deeper than 100bbs and shoving might price him out. My decision to call the turn check raise and call a good number of river cards was very player dependent and due to the nature of the board. Against lots of players I would be taking different lines, ie. not betting the turn and hoping to pick off bluffs on the iver however I felt that the turn bet could induce some bluffs/get value. One of those times where I made good decisions against what I felt was his range and of course his actual hand.
Thx for responding. I am still uneasy with the call a good number of river cards part because it obviously implies we are folding to a fair # of cards and I can think of quite a few that might make us fold. As such I still prefer the jam and getting him to fold his equity in a pot that is rather large. Thanks for taking some time to respond to the comments, very much appreciated.
