check-raise value bet This video provides a systematic approach to playing out of position in poker using a flowchart system based on three key questions. Marc explains how to determine when to check, bet, check-raise, or check-call based on board texture (wet/dry, static/dynamic), opponent tendencies, and your hand strength. He uses multiple hand examples to demonstrate practical application. The video simplifies out-of-position play by teaching players to ask three questions: Is the board likely to get stabbed? Is the SPR greater than 15? What size did the opponent bet? Using these questions creates a systematic approach to complex spots. Strategy Essentials: Check your entire range on wet, dynamic boards where opponents likely stab When opponents bet big, check-raise your strongest hands and combo draws When opponents bet small, check-raise more liberally with strong hands and draws On dry, static boards, size tells you less about opponent's hand strength With high SPR (>15), check strong hands that can play for stacks With lower SPR (<15), bet strong hands yourself to build the pot
