Hey guys. Note that this video is actually an original "conclusion/wrap-up" video that I made before the release of this series. It's mostly a lighter content video (wrt theory) with more gameplay so don't be concerned when I refer to it in-video as the "conclusion" to the series with your questions (from prior videos) not having been discussed yet. Parts 5 and 6 (the next two videos to be released) will cover the questions generated by members from Series parts 1-3.

very interesting series,especially your take on playing the bb. one question: would it be a proper adjustment for btn to basically never 4b your bb 3b range,as you either have the nuts or hands that flop very poorly? does he have an incentive to 4bet bluff in that situation?

Ziigurdsen 12 years ago

of course when i say never 4b i mean have a small 4b range

Sean Lefort 12 years ago

I mean the idea is to make 4bet-bluffing not very appealing to him but still get away with a polarized range that takes advantage of "3bet-bluffs" with hands that are not strong enough to flat. He definitely can't get very wide for value and thus can't be too wide/crazy overall.

think it would fit in and be interesting to look at how bb strategy changes vs different sb strategies

Sean Lefort 12 years ago

You mean against SB steals or against BTN steals with varying SB opponent strategies? I think in the 2nd case, our adjustments should never be too major given that a good SB simply can't drastically VPIP more than we're roughly assuming he is. That said, it does bring to our attention the situation of BTN steals and SB flats and how we want to play that. Will keep it in mind for future videos.

The very first hand of game play w/ T9o on T8XddX8:

You get to the river and say something along the lines of "we don't have very many bluffs here and if we bet more than 1/2 pot he's likely to fold".... This sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

Considering we're getting 5:1 preflop here we will have almost every possible flush draw and straight draw on the flop and with both those missing by the river, we will have a huge range of missed draws to bluff with.

Sean Lefort 12 years ago

The majority of those hands will have no showdown value without improving, and the flop hits our range pretty well. Thus, we're going to have a pretty healthy flop CRing range and FDs/SDs with no SD value (without improving) will be some of the first candidates. Although upon watching the video again, I do agree that our range is wider than I seemed to imply post-flop and thus we will have some more hands that find ways to get to the river that need to bluff. I still think our range there will be pretty value heavy (due to CRing the flop with most of the bluffy hands/draws).

Good video,

But wonder about the AK vs A2 around the 40th minute, you dont think its a good spot for a valuebet on the river? Hes likely to check back so many hands he can do a crying call with and its so hard for him to try a bluff or even bet for value there???

Sean Lefort 12 years ago

Donking the river in that spot would be a little unorthodox but I don't hate it. I'd have to think about it a bit more from a general strategy standpoint (given that it's an awkward/unique situation) but I think in a vacuum against a lot of players, it could work out really well.

Hi Sean,
I've got a question about AT hand where you raised BTN/called 3bet from BB. Flop was 974r. You mentioned you'd have a raising range on that flop. What value hands are you raising there?

Sean Lefort 12 years ago

The answer is not very many and in retrospect I'd like to take this hand back if I could. I think my heart was in the right place at the time but realistically speaking, we don't have enough value hands to be bluff-raising ATo here. In fact, because not much else other than 99/77 feels great about value-raising, I think it makes sense to not have a raising range at all on this flop. Note that if we did value-raise 99/77, we're left with not many hands we can bluff. And although ATo does have some good attributes as a bluff candidate, it's just simply too many combos. Plus I would think JTs would be the #1 candidate and given those 4 combos (+ our 6 combos of sets), there's not a ton of room for much else.

Soo we should just fold the flop then w ATo ?

I was also wondering about this spot so thx for elaborating, also noticed you raised a big big ? 34 to 130 was there a reason to make it that big ?

Denis Gnidash 12 years ago

I would like a raise with the AT if there is a flush draw present because it gives our range a lot more credibility
