A detailed analysis of two hands from a $200/400 heads-up match between KayhanMok and Asianflushie. Uri Peleg breaks down the concept of blockers and bluff-catching, explaining how different hands rank as bluff catchers based on their blocking properties. The video includes insights into range construction and bet sizing on different streets.

Uri explains how blocking cards affect bluff-catching decisions and why some seemingly weak hands can be better bluff catchers than stronger ones. He shows how having certain cards in your hand can make it a better or worse bluff catcher.

Power Play Highlights:

  • Blocking opponent's bluffs makes hands better bluff catchers
  • Two-pair hands without blockers are strong bluff catchers
  • Small bet sizes on river need fewer bluffs in range
  • Initiative shifts after flush draws complete
  • Range betting typically uses half pot sizing
  • Different categories of bluff catchers affect decision making
  • Pocket pairs blocking bluffs are premium calling hands
