I have not see the vide but like to comment on the hand.

Why was this so bad?

She has AQ and cbet on the flop to get a hand like AK to fold here or on the next street. She get call by the other player, it could have been AK and call to take it away on the turn. the K come, how is that not a bad card. If it was a J I think I have to agree that it would be a better card. She is rep a AJ or a pair (QQ,TT,99) we can go deeper on to this but I don't see how this is so bad

I would realy like to read why other think this was bad. I am not attack any comment just interested in the hand and like to learn.
thanks

I now seen some of the video, that hand above was one of the better one. So I still like to know what other think was bad with that one. There are other hands that are played bad. I think it come off worse becouse she is nervous and unconfident.

Its not bad. Its a very profitable play. Obv by value checking the tu she gets A6 to check and she can check call his river bluff. she wins the pot = profit!

Obv K is a bad card because the villain is always calling with AK or KQ and never calls with ha hand like 88 or 66 so if she bets she loses. Go Mandy B!

relax no one said allways. Villain could have a K or could have QQ or 88 or a flush draw. So how is the K a good card for her. I think the villain is rep a king more the she is, so why can't that be a bad card. Also why is it "so bad" for her to state that. Talking about the hand not the video.

this is fundamentally wrong. all it takes to realize this is that 1) a continuation bet is more common than a "continuation call" (aka you're expecting villain to float with no pair out of position; this isn't very common), 2) she raised preflop and didn't get 3bet which discounts opponent's ability to have AK (as well as AA/KK) to begin with. as the PFR and c-bettor she can easily have AK, KQ, KJ, AA, KK, which either like the K a lot or are simply not scared of it. it's difficult for the opponent to have any of these hands except for exactly KJ. he'll have a small or medium pair that's afraid of the K very often. a K is basically one of the best double barrel cards possible.

i'm not saying you have to bet it 100% of the time, but for her to say that it is a bad double barrel card and the J would be better is just ill-informed and shows a poor understanding of poker

I would agree that she could be rep a king as much as villain. I also think you would play a good game. Somethings I have to disagree with, how you stated the above sounds to much like a computer play. As in to many absolutes.

1. Not all players will play like you think they will or are bad players also good player will mix up there play. You can't discount AK because it was not 3bet, not all (good or bad) players 3bet AK

With the range you gave her why did you leave out hand like AQ,AJ,QJ, QQ,99,66. Was it because it does not support you point.

I will agree that a continuation bet is more common than a "continuation call"
I disagree on what to float with, I think a strong or week draw or air to float with, not a pair. You could float with a pair but it not realy a flot. Your turnning you pair into a bluff

You also did not note that the king completed the flush draw and why are you so strong to put the villain on a pair.

I bet you if we watch hand that went down the same in 1/2 that more will not be a pair

I give you that you make some good point but you post sound like you think poker is just played one way.

Yeah, it would be nicer if the cash vids would be sessionreviews(with like 4 tables... on 1 table there aren't many action to see) not "live action" (I kinda laughed at cunningham's vid) ... but it's free (sort of) and you know what you get for free :P.

I hope the store prices will be affordable but i think there will be like 10-20 challenges before it opens ..

I started using the academy because I thought it would be a great way to improve my game for free. Wrong. I am a super micro player, and actually suck at that, but I figured out pretty quick some of the info I was getting was bad. Some of the lessons are very vague and some offer blanket advice (i.e. Ferguson's pre-flop play, where he says to open for twice bb early, 2.5 middle, 3 times late regardless of holdings or situation.) I feel kind of cheated and I did lose money trying to complete the challenges.

Once you complete a challenge fully, you can do it again (and get the points again). You can repeat them up to ten times.

Great thanks. I wonder if it's even worth it. I've just been playing my normal ring games while being 'enrolled' in a challenge, and I usually complete one that way.
