Here are some posts from the video’s thread:
Yeah, can’t stress enough how important it is not to teeter into spewtard territory. There’s a fine line. Show the play to a reg and then give him friendly reminders of it every couple months. And don’t forget to get there every once in a while.
User Comment: If you know your opponent knows you are in a leveling scenario as in this hand, I think 3 betting the top of your range (i.e. Kx or a 7x) on the flop is a pretty good play, in general.
Response: This is definitely something happens. It takes two very strong players for it to even be a possibility worth considering. Once you 3-bet, the would-be thief will usually give up. The few times that you get them to go off for a million bets doesn’t make up for the majority of the time that you scare him off imo.
Question: Great video i had a question about the aq vs 33 hand around 46.00. You valuebet the river, but wont you not only get called by better hands? and wont you take away the oppurtionity for them to bluff there missed draws on the river by betting?
Answer: Thanks for your comment and question. I think that I get called by a lot of worse hands, namely all ace high hands and a king high or 2. When there is a draw on board in a shorthanded LHE game, thinking opponents look for any possible reason not to believe you. It is also very difficult to imagine that my opponent would ever be foolish enough to try to bluff here. Some of them definitely are, but this one wouldn’t be. That play (and the video) is more about exploiting opponents who wouldn’t attempt to bluff there very often.
