Yuck. This guy has no business making training videos. First off he doesn't know the difference between a value bet and a
bluff. He raises a C.O. ATS with 55 and calls it a bluff. Of course a bluff is when you have good reason to believe your opponent has a strong hand but you can represent better. So apparently he thinks that a C.O. raise is always 66 or better.
He's heads up on the flop on a K42cc board and he continues. Again he calls this a pure bluff or a semi-bluff 'cause he has "No
equity". Well, which is it? You can't semi-bluff with no equity. That's what a semi-bluff is! Also, why is he so sure he has the worst hand before the caller even acts? Just because there's one overcard on the board?
He spikes a [5] on the turn and bets for value. Well, at least he got that right.
The river is a [3] bringing in the wheel and now he CHECKS! The whole way he was sure the villain had a King
(why I haven't a clue), but NOW he's sure he has an Ace! How did that happen? Ugh.
I don't actually have much of a problem with the way he played the hand up to the river, just his logic. And it bugs the shit out of me that he's pretending to be some kind of pro.
So as I said, go ahead and play the hand as shown right up to the river (with the volume down). But the river is without question a bet/fold, meaning you bet for value but fold to a re-raise. If he has a king or maybe even some other pocket pair he may look you up for cheap but he will only raise if he has an ace.
So your instincts are correct Rick. Checking was a mistake, as is spending any more time watching this goobers videos
