Hi Iain,

23:30 J6s: what are your reasons for choosing a small sizing on 872ss btn v bb? i'm somewhat struggling with the idea of range betting on low boards where we don't have a significant range advantage so any insight into how you approach these kinds of boards would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hey, the logic is based on a few reasons: We still have an equity advantage and the 2 is very different from a card like a T. Protection is very important on this board. Finally population does not check raise enough to discourage me from betting very often here.

Hi Iain
12:02 - Why do You CBet with AK? You will get called by pocket pairs and he will fold weaker hands like AQ
23:40 - you want to put pressure on A2 or 55. Why don't we bet half pot against those hands? Will be cheaper for us if he has 9x and big enough to make him fold those weak pairs

AK hand I am betting full range here as I will have a big range advantage. BTN will often shove preflop with QQ+, AK so we are doing very well on this board. 23:40 hand, difference between 50% and 66% pot isn't really that important

Hey Ian, thank you very much for that great video, I should say those great videos!
Do you have some advice and good sources for improving our theoretical and strategic understanding?
For example some books or articles? What do you think is the most effective way to do that?

Hi Iain,

33:30 Reviewing the JTs hand - on the J68dd board you mention that against an opponent with a tight preflop calling range and the nature in which the board texture can change that our value hands become devalued. My question here is which hands would you be leading on this board (I am assuming you will be going with a bigger sizing and polarized range here) - would you be betting your overpairs with diamonds, AdJx, and your set and 2 pair combos or would you go even narrower. Also what hands would go into your c-bet bluffing range (9Ts, Qts, 79s seems like too few combos). Finally would you use your overpairs you aren't c-betting as x/r here, or do you think opponent flop bet here vs our check is so narrow that they play better as a call. Sorry for the long question.

28:11 on AQJ9 board, what does your c/r bluff range include here on the turn. I'm assuming Kxcc and some Tx hands but was curious as to which hands you'd be inclined to bluff here and what your c/r value range would look like(I feel we have the equity advantage here but opponent has nut advantage)

Great video Thanks!
