at 30;00 k9 hand u got, what opponent hand is, u won at show down but doesn't showed
Unfortunately WPN doesn't show mucked cards if villain isn't forced to show.
ACR/BCP has this annoying feature where you can't see showdown hands if they lose.
@-16:00 67ss 3b Pot on 365r 2c
Thought this was a pretty interesting spot. Are you usually incorporating only one sizing on this turn? Any sizing larger than 55%-60%+ gives us a really weird SPR on river when called. Usually in this spot, I aim to have just one sizing of 50% on turn, to make splitting my range on the river slightly easier if I want.
With that said, do you think BTN should have a raising range on this flop? I initially thought probably not, but if Btn did have one, it'd probably be quite narrow since the 3b has quite the advantage (assuming you have 74s and some sets too). I decided to pio this spot and was quite surprised by BTN result. BTN does have a raising range, but it includes no combos of sets or straights. It raises a bunch of 77-88 for protection and some 4x as bluffs. this seems slightly strange to me. Why do you think this is?
@~31:00, if you were in zyzz's spot, would you double overbet a mix of 88+/sets? It seems A6 as a candidate to double overbet doesn't often achieve what it intends to with it's fairly negative removal.
16 - Yeah, the approach piosolver takes is typical for a decreasing SPR and a high cbet frequency. It will choose to trap hands that don't need protection when getting all the money in will happen relatively often with a call. 77-88 likes to raise to get protection as you said, and they're not really overplaying against a high cbet freq.
31 - I think his sizing is reasonable with 88 type hands or sets, yeah. It is hard for me to combat these big sizes on a texture like this, and I'm not sure if A6 will like this sizing best. It does seem fine though, in general, to use some freq of this specific 6x as part of a range that sizes big.
Roughly, what kind of a ratio of (Value : Bluffs) should we have for half pot sized turn bets?
This varies based on what you're calling a "bluff". Higher equity bluffs are able to be used at higher frequency when you're looking at ratios before the river. I'd recommend inputting the situation you're imagining into piosolver to see what you should have in theory.
Helllo Kevin big fan of your videos. Really enjoyed this one. Have few pretty basic questions.
The lower sizing we use for cb the higher frequency it will be because even given our smaller sizing we will have less bluffs, we will bet more hands for value and protection. We use smaller sizing to not give a chance oponent realize his equity and protect our hands. If I understand it right we dont cb the same frequency using higher sizing because than our worst made hands like 3rd pair etc. which need most protection, would did not get called by much worse because lots of worse hands would have to fold to bigger sizing.
I am still not sure when to use bigger and when smaller sizing. Which type of boards w e prefer to bet smaller and which bigger? Also what is your strategy on boards where you have a range and/or nut advantage. For example AK3. I have seen and used strategy to bet small on flop and overbet turn. I am not sure if I use it for right reason. On flop we bet small so we can bet for value and/or protection lots of weaker hand like Pps,Kx,3x and on turn ve overb because we have nut advantage (we can have Ak,Aa,KK which our oponent cannot have) so by overbetting we can put more bluffs in our cbetting range.
What is your opinion on more old school strategy where we cb flop (40-50%) and we dont use too much protection bets and we use std. Sizings (60-75% of pot). The doug polk style. Is there some proof that this newer style using higher frequency and lots of smaller bets is better than old school style where you didnt do much protection bets and cb with smaller frequency with higher sizing.
Thanks.
I think the styles you're contrasting are basically one of the best 'human' strategies against the more modern 'machine' strategy. Fewer sizes with logical ranges are going to lead to a strategy that you can understand easily and thus make fewer mistakes.
More sizes that emphasize things like protection are harder to fit to human logic, but can earn you more money in theory. It's how accurately you're able to play the machine strategy that determines if you'll improve your EV.
I do prefer the review style to allow you to pause & discuss
hello, thanks for the video...
what is it your thoughts for using the 1/3 sizing mostly on cbets? is this just to make the strategy easy to employ? doesn't pio prefer bigger sizing and lower frequency on a board like a109ss and checking back a hand like q9s? or am I mistaken
Hi kevin at 17:54, reason for overbetting turn with Q8clubs. Is it because we block his strong draws, but we also block stuff like Q9,89 which are easy fold to tun bets? or is it because the hand performs really well on a variety of rivers which you will be intending to bluff, say clubs, 10, 8, A etc
q
It's a bit of both, but more the first part. I'm more concerned about the impact of my blockers right now, rather than the potential impact of my blockers on x% of rivers.
