I don't understand bluff raising strong hands preflop. Seen pros do it.
So about 8 mins into this video :

and Galfond in this one:

They are 3/4bet bluffing hands which won't get better to fold or worse to call. I'm sure I'm wrong here, but I just don't see why that is a good move. I mean surely if the villain has hands that will fold in their range, then we want to be keeping them in because we likely dominate them. The only reason I can see is you have 1 blocker to them hitting a pair on the flop, but this is only 1 out of 6 so hardly a big decrease. Anyway hoping someone can explain this to me, thanks in advance.

It "protects your range" by disguising your hand and increasing your 4-bet range in that first example.
Timestamp for the second one?
I believe both the videos he posted are essential videos, and that's only $10 a month. (so 62 yuan?)，yes，and only 10$=62￥？
can i download and save to computer？
Unfortunately not.
On top of protecting your range, it prevents it from becoming polarized. The wider you range for raises, the harder it is for your opponent to put you on a precise range, and it's therefore harder it becomes to make accurate decisions for a lot of chips.
A polarized range is not necessarily easier to play against, but the range your opponents attribute to you are going to be more accurate in general, making it easier to make clear mathematical decisions.
I just feel the approach he is making is too theory based and not exploitative. The guy has a 5% 3 bet which is too low, we exploit this by becoming exploitable and just chucking the AQs against him. Unless of course we think he will fold AK to a 4 bet, or give up easily postflop.
4:50, why not increase your 4 bet range by adding in weaker suited aces? a2-a8
He never 4 bet at 4:50 only 3 bet.
I know he didn't that's why I said they are 3/4 bet bluffing hands.
it is too expensive about 100$ a month,it is about 620 chinses dollar,if i crush nl100，i will upgrade。
