Video overview.

You've raised preflop with good position and a pretty hand. The flop comes and you've completely missed it (standard). What do you do? Here are six hand histories and six discussions about it.

You miss the flop all the time, so SplitSuit delves in to all kinds of thought processes to hunt down the most profitable lines moving forward. Topics covered include:

  • Flop lines and flop decisions
  • Double and triple barreling
  • Bluffing without any showdown value.
  • How bet sizes affect ranges.

This is a more theoretical vid than usual, so be prepared. Finish off whatever you're eating and close out those other tabs before you start watching.
