00:00what is up guys it's doo-doo poker here back for another video today we're going to be talking
00:10about the king's power in three bet pots if i asked you a question what do you think is the
00:19highest barreled turn card in a three bet pot what would your answer be let's look at a spot
00:27cut off we're on the button okay doesn't matter what we have we have a range we decide to three
00:33bet we're on the button cut off calls flop comes jack two two okay let's say the cutoff checks we
00:42know this is a range bet right okay let's say we range 50 pot okay solvers mostly going 50 we decide
00:52to go 50 now if i put a turn out what turn card would you say is the highest barreled turn card
01:03well kind of tip my hand a little bit but it is the king the almighty king the king
01:14has special power in the three bet pot okay look how often we are betting the king on the turn
01:24we range flop right so we're basically
01:28for all intents and purposes getting to the river with our whole pre-flop range think about that for
01:37a second we're ranging flop for a bet 50 right on the turn we're betting 89 of our range okay so
01:47the only hands that don't really want to bet are tens and nines okay everything else wants to bet
01:54so what does that mean well
01:58that means we get to the river with our entire three bet pre-flop range okay
02:07so we have to think like a solver here why does a solver bet pocket sevens why does a solver
02:20bet no equity ace five what is the purpose of this well let's look at
02:30let's look at cutoff
02:34and see
02:36what sevens is folding out if i bet sevens on the turn
02:41right
02:42i'm folding out
02:45eights
02:49nines tens
02:50okay
02:51but i'm also
02:53getting called by worst hand
02:55ace queen suited
02:56so
03:00when we think about
03:03what our double barreling
03:07hands are we have to think about all possible rivers
03:11okay
03:12so let's say
03:13i didn't know about these non-intuitive double barrels
03:17i didn't realize that king x
03:19was almost a range bet on the turn
03:24let's just say
03:25i did the intuitive ones
03:26so i
03:27i barrel my ace queen
03:29because i picked up equity
03:30my flush draws
03:31you know my
03:32uh
03:33queen ten
03:34okay
03:34so let's see
03:36what happens here
03:37let's say
03:38i barrel my queen ten
03:40okay
03:41say the river
03:42comes an ace
03:43river comes an ace
03:47now i have no bluffs
03:50now i have no bluffs
03:52if i just bet my
03:54hands that picked up equity
03:55right
03:56because my queen ten got there
03:59my ace ten got there
04:00right
04:00my ace queen got there
04:02okay
04:02so what we do
04:04is we barrel
04:05the low pocket pairs
04:08so we always have bluffs
04:10on any river
04:11okay
04:12because the solver is omniscient
04:14it can see everything
04:15it knows
04:17it barrels sevens and sixes
04:19because it's bluffing
04:21a broadway river
04:22it's bluffing a queen
04:23it's bluffing a ten
04:24it's bluffing an ace
04:26okay
04:26now
04:28if i switch the ace
04:29because remember
04:31we have basically our whole preflop range here on the river
04:34let's say a blank comes
04:36now
04:38what do i
04:41what do i bluff
04:41i check back
04:43my sixes and sevens
04:44because i'm
04:45now i'm ahead
04:45of ace queen
04:47but now
04:49my bluffs
04:50come from
04:51ace queen suited
04:52queen ten suited
04:55ace x suited
04:56so we have to understand
04:58the power of the king
04:59in the three bet pot
05:00because the king
05:01as a good heuristic
05:04for a three bet pot
05:05when the king comes on the turn
05:07it's a very high frequency bet
05:08okay
05:09just so you know
05:10because of the ace king advantage
05:12we have
05:13when the king comes on the turn
05:15very high frequency bet
05:18almost a range bet
05:19okay
05:19but we need to barrel
05:22these low hands
05:24and these ace x hands
05:25these are very important
05:27for the river play
05:28okay
05:28because we're already thinking
05:30to the next street
05:31we need to barrel the ace five
05:33and the ace four
05:34so we can bluff
05:35on a queen
05:35on a ten
05:36okay
05:36we need those bluffs
05:37we also need to barrel
05:40the seven and the sixes
05:41because when an ace comes
05:43we need to barrel
05:44and bluff
05:44okay
05:45so you need bluffs
05:46for every run out
05:47this is why
05:48on the turn
05:49you basically range bet
05:51okay
05:51so
05:53in conclusion
05:55the power of the king
05:56when the king comes on the turn
05:57high frequency bet
06:00we barrel a lot of non-intuitive hands
06:04so that we have bluffs on the river
06:06all right guys
06:07this is a cutoff
06:08first button three bet spot
06:09wanted to show you this
06:10because I thought it was
06:11a good example of
06:13when you barrel non-equity hands
06:15because of potential rivers
06:18right
06:18so we're already thinking
06:20to the river
06:20when we barrel the turn
06:21we're already thinking about
06:22possible rivers
