Quality series guys. Enjoying the dual commentary approach. Had one specific question to throw out there. At ~ 38:55 Dantes mention's that in the hand just shown(where he was sb w/ KK raising pre against UTG limper on flop on 2c 5d 10d) the nut flush draw won't have alot of fold equity because Dantes will rarely have air on that flop after the previous action. My question is what about the times Dantes has AQ or AK(specifically without diamonds since the question is post flop).. The pre-flop raise should be a similar amount and now assuming AQ or AK overs is the hand making the same C-Bet, Dantes is now facing a call for 71k into a pot of 131k. Maybe this call is easier than I think as Im accustomed to lower stakes where people in my experience will turn set small pocket pairs(often when they should at best be set mining hands) into bluffs on board textures facing a cbet a pretty good amount of the time.

Good question, I think it's a simple pokerstove question.
Once he shoves we need to call ~71k to win 131k, meaning we need about 28% equity to call.
With AK no diamond, I don't think we're going to have odds to call of if he never shoves with worse. (we have 21% equity)
Board: 2c 5d Td
Dead:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 78.871% 78.87% 00.00% 35137 0.00 { TT-22 }
Hand 1: 21.129% 21.13% 00.00% 9413 0.00 { AsKc }
However, since he's jamming some worse hands (FDs, maybe some Ax gutters like A3, A4, it may be very close to a call.
I'll have to have Dantes chime in about both c-betting AK in this spot, and what to do when shoved on.

basically I'm just saying my ISO range out of sb there is really strong. I will prob bet call AK on that flop just because people take that line with hands that AK dominates fairly often and they'll also do it with small PPs that give up when unimproved on that flop that c betting 100% (of my strong ISO range) is probably good.
edit: not saying I expect people to give up all the time with every pair < tens just often enough...

I thought about this hand some more, i'm wondering if c/shoving AK is better on this board than bet/calling.

a5s on the HJ 3M deep is an unexploitably +ev shove, have you read kill everyone? on the chart you require 15 pushing power or better, and a5s is 31
