“ BaoGao picks up a little momentum in this video with a couple big coolers. The discussion continues about taking advantage of many of his tendencies, and he played several hands in ways that highlighted some of the continued themes throughout the series. One was that he doesn't like to value thinly at all on the river, and the other core theme was how to adjust to the fact that he never folds to continuation bets in 3-Bet pots. At this point the match has been going on for a few hours and I screwed up a couple important hands where I let up on the aggression due to fatigue. Its important to not let that happen, but its probably even more important to be able to identify it when this does happen, because then its easier to correct. However one of these hands did bring up a really important concept about why its often so much better to just bet the turn with a marginal hand, than it is to check back the turn and call the river. ”
