Message: [QUOTE="BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch, post: 6292992, member: 480921"] Day 10 The Key To Playing Draws Emphasis on Semi Bluffs Tidbits "Semi Bluffing-a bet when you have a draw, you have something to fall back on" You have to look at the odds chart in the E Book to understand what Collin is talking about throughout the video lesson unless you know it off the top of your head. "If you think future betting will not improve your odds of winning then you should fold." He gives the low flush draw as an example. Reasons to Play Draws More Passively- Collin doesn't like to play draws passively. Gives some reasons when play draws passively. Showdown value. I can't play hands like this. I'll look at what they're trying to do and what I know from watching them and go from there. This is another example of how math can send you to the rail in a hurry. The other one was using odds to call where folks can give you the right price to give your chips away as they value bet you to death. I DISAGREE WITH THIS KQ EXAMPLE. From what I see playing beginners is that they play the draws way too hard when they don't need to. WAY TOO HARD. And when Collin says you have 16% of improving then you should jam KQ lol I START CRINGING. I'm not a fan of this play but I get his reasoning because you're going to get called if they have the ace and doing that with just the gut shot isn't that great. Collin is putting them to a decision to go all in and if they have it then they will and the best thing is if he loses the pot is he only goes back to the avg amount of the chip stacks at the table but if he takes down the 1580 pot then he to a commanding 3rd place in chips at the table. It seems like something out of his SNG book. So I get it but when they're that short the reason why they call a hand is because they have an ace or a pair so I would go back to what you know about your opponent's playing tendencies. The other part I can see is since you've got KQ then they probably don't have a big ace kicker like a K or Q if they have and ace so they might factor that into their decision of folding an Ace but if they didn't want to play a weak ace kicker and hit the board then they shouldn't have played it in the beginning, lol. Yeah and there are some folks that will slow play AK AQ here and there instead of jamming preflop, go figure, to see if the they hit the flop. So I see Collin's thinking here but I'm not a fan of it. Really like the commentary on the T9s example following the KQ. The later T9s example is ok. Like the showdown value of the J7 example. I don't like the AJ example before the review questions, it makes little sense to me to toss your money in there when you have a lot more poker to play and you're going on a coin toss or less when you don't need too. I don't like math and this type of game doesn't match my style but I need to be aware of it. Another good lesson because it got me to think about hands. [/QUOTE]
