Welcome to Run It Once!

I can't think of any PIO guide videos on runitonce off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's something. I personally learned to use the program by just watching RIO coaches using it. Piosolver has it's own youtube channel, you may want to check it out if you want to start from the bottom up!

Preflop: I squeeze out of the SB with AKs, now I prefer to raise bigger pre, maybe to 19BB as I am OOP against two players. Thoughts?

Yeah I also think that your squeeze sizing is a little bit small, I would personally go a little bit bigger. 18 or 19 big blinds seems pretty good to me.

Flop: I flop the NFD. However not quite sure how to proceed against two players. I think this flop is good for their calling ranges (containing 99, 88, 98s, JTs, QTs, QJs etc.). How would you likley proceed here?
Do you c-bet with that part of your range and for what sizing? Or dont you c-bet, maybe planning on check-raising?

These multiway spots are a little bit tricky because you actually cannot solve multiway spots with PIO. I think the fact that we're 3way and the flop hits both of their ranges fairly well, I would probably just check my entire range and go from there. With our specific hand it's hard to make a huge mistake though.

First glance you have absolutely 0 fold equity vs btn raise and when you jam over it you are pushing out all the hands that CO might call thats behind yours and making btn range even stronger. So I don't think jamming over is the highest ev play.

Putting it in snowie, it prefers to check flop but betting is fine and only slightly lower ev. Once btn raises your jam is -ev, it prefers to call. Once you call your pretty much calling any turn when you only have 1/4 pot stack left.

So why is it calling here better than jamming? Because Snowie likes to donk TONS of turns that complete your draw or gives you combo draws. This is good exploitatively since people are going to be raising way too wide and too much with hands as strong as QQ and forced to call all the turns where you make the nuts and forced to check back when turn completes draws. So you are going to be getting tons of free rivers. If you just jam flop you are always going to be behind, but you can play turns and rivers really easy - so calling the raise is best.

Takeaway here is that people are raising with strong absolute hands much on boards where their hands are relatively weaker, thus they get punished when they can't put any more money on most turns and must give free cards, or they are always forced to call when you make the nuts since their overplayed their hand on previous streets.

Hi everybody,

Thank you for your posts!:-)

Going to check out the youtube channel from piosolver.

Also lately I am thinking more about spots where it seems like a good strategy to bet or check my range. In that hand I thought checking my range could be good, however in game I put the bet in. Now I prefer checking.

Have not looked at pokersnowie in detail, but to be able to analyze multiway pots is a pretty awesome feature. And in my case shows that calling > jamming.

So already plugging leaks :-D.
