Video Notes: Cardrunners: Replayer how to part 1 by grindmentality

First hand:

We flop top pair top kicker with the nut blocker (Ac9h on 2c 9d 5c) . Hero bets 33%, villain check raises. Jam or call?

• look at flop check raise stat (should be on right click pop-up menu of pt4)
• grindermentality says he dislikes putting in another bet here that isn't a jam because it allows villain to play perfectly against us and a jam would look weaker than a re-raise. 

New concept: allowing villain to play perfectly against us. Inquire more into this concept, as I don't understand it fully. However, I believe it means that you give villain more information so he can play his range more effectively - eg. re-raising his check-raise instead of jamming so he'll fold out his bad hands and shove his good hands.

New concept:  Having the nut blocker. I don't include this in my thoughts at the poker table enough. For example, if you have the nut blocker on a flush draw board, jamming might not be the best idea because you block a lot of his  flush draw hands. Also in second hand, he has KdQd on 8h 2h Jd - he blocks straights, he also blocks two combinations of jacks that people would play in this spot (QJ, KJ).




Second hand:

New concept: Donk betting. It is becoming more common even among regs.

New concept: Capped range. Villain donk bet on 82Jtt, bet suited 6 turn and grindermentality says villain has a capped range.
