Theory Implementation?
Hello all,
I am a new member on RIO and have a question about how to implement the theory videos on the site. I'm really not sure how best to word this but I will give it a shot. The question is how do these top players keep track of the percentages that they are making certain plays? For example on many of these theory videos there is a lot of talk about how you need to bluff here X % of the time, or have 1 bluff for every 2 value hands etc. Basically my question is how are we supposed to keep track of X% so that we remain balanced in our strategy? I remember in one of Dan Harrington's books he used his watch as a way to randomize. Is that what these top players are doing?

You only refer to river play I guess, because you either have 100% or 0% so nothing in between.
GOT wise you should have a 2to1 vlaue to bluff ratio, if you bet full pot.
Look at the board and imagine all the possible hand combos you would valuebet close to everytime (top (2)pair , sets, straight, flushes, etc.). The more handcombos you represent as valuebet, the more often you can/ should bluff. You can calculate the exact numbers of bluffcombos using some free equity tools.
This Q2775 non flush board should not be bluffed often because you "only" rep full houses, quads and KQ+.
8972A with 3 hearts offers you more possible valuebet scenarios with added flushes and straights, so you theoretically can bluff more. However your opponent is likely to have a strong holding himself.
AKQJ5 -non flush. Worst board to bluff, you wouldnt bet less than a 10, maybe top set? Practically a bluff should go through sometimes, because you would be very sick to bluff here, wouldnt you?
It`s about constructing/knowing your ranges perfectly.
If you wanna know how to always perform certain action for x% of the time (i.e you open ATs utg and 4b/f 20% of the times as your default strategy vs 3b), you can use rng.
Just click on generate, and if the number for the example above comes between 0-20 you 4b, if not you fold.
