13:06: If this hand were played today, I would definitely either lead or xr
19:10 I think exploitatively I would shut down on a lot of rivers expecting a rec to have very few folds on most rivers. Without a club, I could get behind using a block bet on blanks. Again, this would just be an explo effort to get him to fold out A high FDs. I expect all pairs worse than a J to have folded to the turn OB.
Congrats on the contract man. Look forward to more.
At 4:20 you talk about how your blockers are horrible. Can you explain this concept a bit further to me please? Correct me if I'm wrong.From my understanding the Ac is a bad blocker, because it blocks a portion of villain's f/d semibluffs he could have on turn. Why is the 10 particularly bad though? Because of blocking potential semibluffs like 109,107?
Also in this hand, what would be considered good blockers, and why? How much merit generally should blockers have in factoring my decision?
you're correct about the Ac as it reduces his bluff combos OTR. The T is poor since we don't block any of his value region. Tx with a side card that pairs is no longer a vbet otr for this size. tbh the blocking effects of this hand aren't all that important since this hand class is never calling anyways. We'll be defending mostly with just our pair+ region.
It's difficult to generalize when to consider blockers, but I'd say that they're always relevant to some extent. The most practical situation in which to consider them is when ranges are very narrow, and thus blockers can have significant effects (proportionately) on a player's range. E.g. blocking effects will probably be more important OTR in a 3bp after xr + b + b compared to a srp after cb, xx, x/b/?.

You're a legend shifty thanks heaps for the videos. Best of luck.
P.s will be following your thread on 2+2
Thanks for the kind words. We recently agreed to a new contract, so there'll be more videos coming soon!
Hi Paul! thank you for this final video.
few questions:
13:06 9Jss: What do you think about leading or even check raising the flop with all the backdoors we can get?
19:10 QKo When you barrel the Turn I guess your plan is to barrel most Rivers right?

@3:30 what's the river plan?
A lot of jams on non-K rivers.
Glad to hear you will be making more content.
Thanks for everything Paul! Cheers!
That was a great video I'm new here so I'm definitely going to search out more by you. Thanks
