Aces and Kings are pretty easy to play preflop... right? Just rip it in and hope villain has something to stack off with. But wait... what does villain do with their bluffs and light 3-bets then? Oh right, they just fold and you never get their stack.Jon's come a long way since pre-COVID and always 5-bet jamming Aces preflop, and he's added some pretty ingenious traps to his arsenal. As we see today, the random degenerate player pool of Ignition is only so happy to oblige.Coach Brad is along for yet another rollercoaster ride where so many more than 100 bigs are going in the middle. Does he approve? Or do we need to reset the "Days Without Incident" counter back to zero?

We've done value betting episodes before, but his one is a bit different. This week we examine the spots where you have thick value on the river, but there's just one problem... the SPR is pretty high and it's difficult to see how you can pile it all in and get called.So what's the best way to get all the money in and get maximum value when you have nutted hands on the river? Spoiler alert: it's not as easy as dialing it up to "all-in".Coach Brad is here to see what poker prodigy Jon Chai decided to do in a few of these spots in his recent poker travels.

The pain train is right on schedule this week, as Jon digs... not very deep in the database to find a few hands that illuminate an important topic in poker: how to bet/fold and raise/fold.It's not a difficult concept to understand... you think you can take down the pot with a bet or a raise, but, if the villain should somehow not fall for our lies and shenanigans, you've got to know the jig is up and not chase good money after bad.But when exactly are these scenarios, and just because villain doesn't kick rocks like we want them to, does that always mean we're checking or folding to further action?Jon's pulled up some of his strongest hands (so naturally one of them is 8 high) to walk us through his thought process on this intriguing topic. Welcome to Tactical Tuesday 138. It's free but tips are welcomed. Not sure where the jar is tho.

One of our more interesting and instructive episodes in recent memory pertained to equity calculation and range construction when facing all-ins. If you're a poker player struggling with the mathematical side of things, this episode is for you! To everyone else, don't worry -- if you're only here for degenerate flush draws and high card floats I'm sure we will be back to normal next week.Join us for Tactical Tuesday 137 and be sure to leave a review to help us fool the algorithms.

Position is everything in Poker, also known by its full, formal name: No Limit Texas Hold Them. But when you're playing the game at a positional disadvantage, it can be hard to extract full value in spots where you have good hands. What hands should you check and trap? What situations call for an overbet to hope to get bluffcaught? These questions and more are explored on Tactical Tuesday 136!Also -- we've received requests in Greatness Village to upload the full hand breakdown, and that request will be honored immediately, starting... in the coming weeks! This and many more improvements are coming to Tactical Tuesday. Stay tuned for the revamp!
