It’s always a dream spot when you are facing a 5-bet and have pocket aces! This is exactly the situation that popular poker vlogger Rampage Poker found himself in at the Thunder Valley Casino against his good friend and fellow poker professional Stephen Song. Can Rampage find a way to get maximum value and stack Song? Find out in this video!

Jonathan discusses the differences in your raise sizes preflop depending on your stack depth and position. As Rampage is extremely deep with the button he could have raised even larger to help reduce the stack to pot ratio (SPR) which would make it easier for Rampage to find a way to get all of the money in by the river (or even earlier!)

When Rampage decides to use a small bet size on the turn after the flop has checked through he is essentially saying that he now has the range advantage and can start betting for thin value but also with some bluffs. With Song just calling on the turn his range is looking more like a hand that is pocket kings or ace king. He will also have some slow played traps like pocket queens or pocket jacks but these will make up a smaller part of his range due to there being fewer combinations of these hands compared to kings or ace king.

Jonathan covers an interesting topic on how you should always look to use the largest ‘small size’ when betting for value that your opponent will still call. He thinks that Song would have called $2,000 on the turn rather than just $1,500 so this could have been a spot that Rampage could have earnt himself an extra $500!
