russian
uh
and we have arrived at the aria hotel resort casino one of the finer properties in las vegas
to continue our bank rolex challenge session number five two five no limit texas hold'em i
believe the max buying is one thousand dollars for coming in for one thousand dollars but first let's
talk about what happened the last time i played here three to four years ago my buddy's wife said
hey let's go play some texas hold'em cash games let's go to the aria i said sure no problem let's
do it we get on the list for two five she gets called for the 2-5 game she approaches the table
turns around comes back to me and says you can you can take that seat i don't want it i said
sure no problem don't mind if i do i didn't question why she didn't like the seat very
first hand i'm under the gun dealer says do you want to be dealt in i say do i have to post he
says no i say of course i want a free hand i pick up pocket sixes and like the live cash game pro
that i am not i limp there's one other limp and the button makes it 25. looks like some sort of
cash game reg of course i put in the call and the other player folds the flop comes
jack six deuce bingo bango bongo original razer has about 1500 ships and i'm eyeing
all of them action checks to him where he bets 25 again i figure it's a good time to fast play
my holding just in case he has an over pair i make it the classic 3x to 75. he puts in the
call the turn is a deuce hey boats are good i go ahead and size up to 125 and he quickly makes it
275. what's he rapping queens kings does he put me on a jack aces uh so my decision is to flat call
or shove all in i'm greedy i don't want the river to go check check i want to get it
while the getting's good maybe he has ace deuce i shove all in for one thousand dollars hand number
one off the deck he snap calls the river is a seven i show my boat and he shows pocket jacks
set over set one thousand 000 gone a bunch of backpack ipad hoodie bose headphones guys at
the table start laughing at me and i decide it was just not meant to be and i do not reload
and i leave and do the drive of shane so that's not going to happen today it's all in the past the
future is unwritten let's win thousands of dollars and get closer to that coveted rolex datejust 21.
half hour wait but we get in the 2-5 no limit game buying for one thousand dollars table looks
uh pretty recreational so no reason to request a table change just yet but it's always good to
request a seat change immediately upon unracking my chips i notice a familiar sight on the felt
it looks like a puke but you know that's poker not the most uh hygienic humans but gotta do what you
gotta do to get that money and earn this rolex so far the dealers have been very good and eight max
i really appreciate a little more leg room and a little more action i think older caucasian male
on my right open limps the cut off i raised the button with ace king of hearts 20 to go
asian male who limp jammed for 500 earlier against my three bet ace ten suited nonsense defends the
big blind and limper folds we're heads up to a flop ace king of hearts let's go baby
flop comes queen four three two hearts looks good to me he checks i bet 25 and he puts in the call
the turn is a deuce we now have all the outs hopefully he doesn't have ace five or five six two
overs straight draw and nut flush draw of course we're going to continue to bet to either build
the pot or take it down now i size up to 75 about 80 of the pot and he puts in the call plan is to
shut down on the river unless we improve the river is the ace of diamonds so we now beat all of his
queen x combos but we lose to 5x and his random ace wheel hands so when he checks to us although
we do have top top i think on his board texture it's gonna be tough to be getting value from worse
so we check behind he shows queen 10 off suit and we take down a nice pot i must say i do enjoy
the water temperature of the men's bathroom just the perfect lukewarmness it's the little things
that really count when it comes to a property in las vegas so shout out to the aria and as you can
see the burger lounge has been transformed into a posh burger part of my reason for coming here
today is to try either the uh 24 wagyu special burger or the 100 posh as you can see in the
screenshot i was told it's open till midnight or later but i just walked by it it's 10 o'clock
and it looks like they're closing down i'm pretty bummed you might have to do this at a later date
time to go pick up a mystery guest from the flamingo
who is the d-list artist you ask stay tuned and find out

like hundreds okay we're not naked not yet then you'd really be embarrassed not yet
and we have arrived at a destination i have not been at in many many years a lot of
people say bosekian why do you boycott the venetian well there's many reasons
and i've often said there's only one reason i'd ever come back to the venetian it's for one
restaurant in particular and tonight's the night everything else seems to be closed even
though it's just midnight so we are here with a special guest to eat at the grand lux welcome
every move that i make every promise i break i'll be there for you hi are you camera shy
no i'm not camera shy i just don't understand what am i supposed to introduce myself
third person people hi my name is hi my name is alex that's my real name alex and uh yeah i'm here
getting food with jeff boski what do you do for a living alex i'm a musician musician play the
saxophone trombone play the the the skin flute actually it's just you're just embarrassing me
i'm gonna be berated for this like consistently in my in my poker future you know because everyone

just a russian dallas mr russian mail age ages 20 to 30. don't be thrown off by the face tax
with blinds at two dollars five dollars we've chipped up from one thousand to twelve hundred
feeling good table pretty soft a lot of limping lemonade easy but it sure is fun folds to me the
hijack i looked down at ace jack offsuit aka alan jackson raise it up to 15. my left folds and a
guy in a ponytail three bets me from the button to 45 he's got about fifteen hundred dollars in front
of him deep sack poker what do you do with ace jack out of position i'll tell you what we do we
show them who's boss 3x his [ __ ] 135 dollars to go he doesn't think long and he puts in the call
this is bad news he's going to have a stronger range than us considering we have ace jack he's
probably not calling with ace 10 or king queen let's see a flop let's see if we can rap aces
the flop comes queen 4-3 rainbow we could have pocket queens might even have ace queen
here kings or aces all possible let's wrap it slight down bet out of position to 125
trying to brute force that fold make him question his pocket jacks pocket tens get him to fold out
ace king he calls my heart's beating i'm thinking about why didn't i just fold pre-flop the turn
brings it off suit eight now what do we just give up or do we continue our story and barrel all of
our hard-earned money away just like my man andy dufresne said we get busy living or we get busy
dying 300 is the bet i place in the middle he goes deep into the tank i try to look as confident as
possible i have about 600 behind setting up that river jam this is the inflection point does he
want to play for stacks we do have range advantage even though our hand sucks and he eventually folds
i contemplate showing the bluff because people usually don't put in these big bluffs and cash
games but i don't want to hurt his feelings i'm a man of the people i'm just here to take your money
and we take down a nice pot through the baby i had a lot of questions about this ace jack off
suit hand so i hit up my man ben cb owner of razor edge.com he provided me with an in-depth review of
this ace jack aggressive line that i took so we do fire the last barrel for three hundred dollars
okay how often is villain supposed to continue with nines jack's facing a bet on the turn
um i'm gonna go 20 wrong fifty percent of time wow sticky show explanation i love these explanations
thank you ben cb for do it taking the time to run these piyo solves and educate us listen up
guys there's a lot of information we see that for villain of course he continues all the queen eggs
he calls a continuous with ace four h3 but nines two jags are really bad um it wants to continue
some of the times simply because otherwise he would be massively overfolding and we would be
printing with our bluffs i would advise you against population just to fold on the turn
a it's very marginal and b people are not so creative having so many forbid bluffs and also
as you can see you might need some very unnatural double barrels on the turn like ace jack and ace
king where a lot of people when they don't turn a draw are usually slowing a little bit down
so it's much better to continue with a hand like ace four ace three you block ace queen um you
block aces which is quite good and you have also more equity against the hand like kings or ace
queen right you you can make um you i mean maybe not ace queen but like king queen or pocket kings
you have an initial overcard you can make trips so you have five outs instead of two outs so
this really helps when you see if you look at the view of ace four suited we have between seven and
fourteen point six tens is pretty much break even even ace five even though it's a gut shot right is
is so much better i mean i would probably fold the gut shot hand here as well the the eevee of ace
five this is something you need to be aware of is when your opponent checks on the river let's say
call the river is a nine and then your opponent gives up his ace jack his ace 10 or uh checks
ace nine or whatever he might have double barrel with that you bluff your ace five we can see that
here so you have to pull the trigger every single time and this is where i'm always teaching people
to connect the dots so if you feel like you wanna call the ace five then you need to be aware of the
fact because your opponent is mostly bluffing a size right ace jack ace 10 ace king ace four maybe
for protection right that you have to really pull the trigger with ace five once it's checked to you
if you check behind because you think you have shot on that you lose against ace jack that's then
this seven point let's say the ace five and heart seven point eight six will turn minus cv because
you're not winning the pod often enough so this is of course where the solver understands that even
though we don't improve we're going to be winning often enough and also if your opponent is tight
and he's not gonna have these a-side blasts and you can bluff them off on from these hands on the
river then it's also really bad to call here so keep that in mind and don't over call on the churn
and i would advise you to slightly overfold and play these spots a little bit more yeah careful
either in cash game but especially in tournaments where you want to be really aware of protecting
your tournament life and not engage in these very minor sports check out the razor edge
