Hey Jonas, great video as always. I would like to suggest "Playing 3bet pots in position" as future theme for a video. I believe you have not touched on that yet. Thanks.

Great video,as usual.

On the hand where you bluff with J8o you mention that your hand blocks some of villain's bluffcatchers such as JTo but is there an equal or stronger argument that your hand also blocks some of villain's potential missed draws (98,possibly 86s,J9 etc) ?

Gutshots aren't c/calling as often both flop and turn as flushdraws (simply due to lack of equity) so i'll always prefer in this scenario to bluff a hand that doesn't block possible flushdraw hands.

Nice video, I really like it when you break down ranges in terms of value and bluffing combinations. Perhaps you could do a video about constructing balanced 3bet/5bet ranges from different positions?

Jonas Smailys 10 years, 10 months ago

That's a pretty good idea though tbh I'm not sure I'm that capable of it since it might require a lot of math at which I really suck. Also a significant portion of my pre-flop understanding comes from comparing results between different players databases (basically which hands people are profiting with by opening/CCing/3betting in certain scenarios) and even that has mostly come from having database reviews done for me by people who actually have the sample sizes/have done enough database reviews.

Okey, I
understand. Then how about a video where you look at certain boards and runouts
where people in general are over and underbluffing (like double FD boards, and
dry ace high boards) and how to correctly approach those boards being the
aggressor and maybe also how to exploit someone who is over or undebluffing?

~28mins into the video, speaking of the J8o hand, you say that if you are betting 2/3 pot on the river with 64 bluff combinations, then you need 128 value hands. actually, if youre betting 2/3 pot on the river, then the ratio of value hands to bluff hands should be ((2/3)P + P)/P = 2.5/1, and youd need 160 value hands.

.. which is indeed a lot of hands. lol.

thats just nitpicking though. i enjoyed the video and got a lot out of it. thanks for making it.

i like the process of how you approach everything gonna watch all of your video now :-) thanks for the effort i also like the mix between hand history and a little bit of cardrunnersev
