Hey Kevin, nice to see you back and very interesting content. Quick ones:
0:00 (table 3) you cbet Kc3x on QJ2cc. are you checking the other K highs that aren't clubs ?
2:34 (table 2) do you see any practical difference between betting pot and 70% on this river ?
43:58 (table 3) I don't get much the turn sizing. If your range now have less value hands and a percentage of your bluffs will shut down, why did you decide to increase your bet sizing from the flop to the turn ?
0 - I think I'd cbet a lot more than just this king high, it's a good board texture to bluff Kx on.
2:34 - I'd like to value bet a lot thinner than 4x and I think increasing my sizing here will create a bad result for those hands.
43:58 - I was intending to bet a very narrow value range that includes pretty much only hands that beat Jx. I think my sizing given the strategy I was going to use on this board is far too small, actually.
0 - I don't have a large database as yours but what I usually see is that oop has x/c a frequency on QJx/QTx/Q9x that is probably higher than "optimal" since it hits his range so often that he is continuing. this usually makes me check hands as Kd3x for example since my turn giving up frequency would be usually high and on a three street game I rather give up since I guess I am not making money on this spot. if you don't mind looking into your db and just saying if oop x/c frequency on this boards is under or over "optimal" frequency would be great, doesn't need the number.
43:58 using your reasoning I certainly agree. when I decide to bet turns on this type of texture this already leads into a polarized range so I rather go smaller than pot to get a cheaper price on my bluffs. is this ok ?
thank you a lot for answering questions and making videos on such a high frequency.
Interesting way to use a database, I might have to do more of this! I found my flop cbet success was high enough to profit on a bluff but not exorbitantly so, when filtered for unpaired flops that contain two of (Q,J,T) and one of (2,3,4,5).
I think your logic on the board pairing turn is a dangerous one, because your sizing is designed to match what your bluffs want rather than what your value bets want. This is not only a theoretical flaw with the gameplan but also one that's relatively easy to exploit, because you'll be getting called down light while making very little money for your infrequent value hands.
Fantastic, as always. All around great video maker.
such good thought process, seeing everything so clearly and looking at these spots from every aspect, just wow!
5:00, table 3, you said something along the lines that you'd prefer to jam ak and bet smaller with kx!a. I'm assuming when villain doesn't 3bet pre he almost has no ak or at least very few combos-maybe this is a bad assumption to make( I don't play much nl, so I'm not too sure what kinda preflop frequencies good players have)-so, if you have all the nut combos, why not just jam all ak and bet really small with kx!a?
From a practical point of view it's too much effort to try and mix bluffs to different sizings at the appropriate frequency so my intended strategy with the shove is to not bluff without a chop (but chop so often that he still calls all Kx). I was unsure if this board/situation made it best for that strategy over the one I chose.
I really like the way you explained things in this video. I know other video makers have great skill, but I do believe your ability to convey your thought process to the audience is second to none. There seems to be a certain organized way that you present the factors that go into your decisions and you also point out the different "weights" to the importance and/or reliability of the information you have which helps a ton. I wish some others on this site could take notice of the teaching style you have and emulate it.
Thanks, I really appreciate that. Making videos for you guys is a lot of fun for me and it helps me stay focused as a player to be forced to explain myself so clearly.
very good work Kevin , thanks!
