Can you play hand 539738622 from master cash table 4 please. I double floated with a hand i felt was going to be good some of the time. I then hit river and im not sure my value bet size on river was fine. I stuck to the size i was going to do as a bluff
I prob wouldnt have isolated pre had i checked the oppoants stack pre properly not much value in raising there really. I woulda been happy just to pick up the dead money
I c bet the flop which is standard and when i get called i can put queens in their range, and random broadway draws and stuff. (obv hard to put limpers on a range)
turn is pure pot control and i should check back river, but it was a thin value bet in case they had just ace high or even a random 5. Defo not a bluff to rep clubs, cos i would bet bigger! looks bluffy imo, so can get called by worse.
fwiw, if evilpingu jams the river in that 56 hand, i snap call. I dont mind my raise size pre cos its consistant with what i would do with strong value hands.
Enjoying the show, but although slightly off topic was just wondering what James,s favourite TV programme was and if he watched The Sopranos.
I,ve just finished watching the final season and wondered what he thought off the last scene in the last episode. There is still a lot of debate on the intrenet about what happened, but its been classed as one of the greatest TV shows of all time and the last scene was genuis imo. Does James agree?

Hi guys. Looking forward to another good show. I emailed in last week and James gave me stick over my use of paternity leave/ well no poker played this week but hoping to play lucky 7s tonight - depends on kids being in bed and getting house jobs done!!
Caption - if I make it 3 cashes in a row then I'll pay someone to do this!
Re: 22 hand - That was just me spewing like the total donk that I am. I don't know what I was thinking in that hand.
Flop was a value bet, think I can get calls from 2 overs, especially from the limper on the button. Was expecting a fold from Greghogg making a standard c-bet.
Turn was where it went wrong, me not knowing whether to value bet, thinking I can get calls from AK, AQ, etc, or whether I was turning my hand into a bluff, didn't have a clue whether 22 was good or not, so just bet and hoped it worked out okay in the end :')
River was me levelling myself into thinking that Greg's river bet was a cheap bluff with 2 picture cards to make me fold the sort of hand that I had.
Basically, I played the hand terribly, lol. 22 are such an awkward hand to play out of position if you don't hit a 2.
I do think it's definitely losing value by checking behind on the river with the weak flush. If it's flush over flush, unlucky, but I think there are plenty of hands you can get value from.

ref 79 hand, its bad in my opinion to isolate people who like to call you down with weak holdings as you generally need to hit to feel comfortable in the hand as they are likely to call a few streets, just isolate these players with premium hands and you should get better results.
I'd just like to interrogate James on that 8c5c hand, if I may: Before he hit the flush on the river, James said he wasn't necessarily giving it up if he missed, therefore suggesting he intended to bluff. Does James think that, after checking back the turn on the King-Jack-high board, it would be a believable bluff to make on the river and does he think, in retrospect, that this would have been the right player to bluff?
Have a good'un. My favourite presenter is on the show tonight. lol
Loving the show, and your expert analysis Richard. I love the way it's being highlighted how easy it is to confuse James! Can you please tell me when you're going to air the show where you interview the chimp you got in to play James?
Noticed that although Cesare is constantly limping, I think your bet sizing has remained the same as against any normal opponent.
In Micro stakes cash, people often have much bigger opening raises to play bigger pots with strong hands in position against weaker players. What are your thoughts on maybe raising to 5x or 6x the big blind once Cesare limped, and betting flop/turn/river bigger than £1.25 and £2.25 on flop and turn as he's probably just going to call anyway?
Also, Jacks full of Aces hand, with any queen giving him a straight, and him possibly being a big enough station to call with a Queen or maybe even just trips, thoughts on a value shove?
