Hi Ed,


On the front page you wrote


`There’s a lot of money to be made on the river in the $1-$2 6-max no-limit games on Full Tilt. A lot of the regulars miss value bets a lot, and they fold too many hands to overbet shoves even if you aren’t really representing anything too plausible. So you can get a pretty good edge on them by value betting well and choosing your spots where they have a weak range to shove. To some extent the folding to shoves is an ok adjustment for the games because most of the players aren’t overbet shoving often enough as a bluff.'


and I've been thinking about this for some days now. I'm playing similar games and I almost never do this. Could you give a few examples of spots where it's good? I don't really mind if they are spots where I don't represent anything because, like you said, they don't think about that.

Hi,


I wish Ed or some of the other good players on here would give examples. I was wondering the exact same thing you bring up.


Thanks,

I think we now have to pay a small 'fee' to get our answers…

A good example an overbet shove:


You have top set on a dry board. You shove the river — let's say the pot contains 50 big bets and you have 150 big bets behind and your opponent has you covered. You will often get called by a wide range of second-best hands because your opponent just doesn't believe you.
