nice to see the late stage, I would be interesting to know how you get there, I mean did you have:
- tough spots, tough decision where you got your stack involved? Strong holding folds? took coin flip or not? would be great to select 10-20 hands from the early-middle stage.
great video. Lot of things to ask about actually, lots of cool spots.
-at 8min with 54s on 64438, dont you expect most of his range to be ace high and therefore have a very low bet/chk/bet frequency on river?
-Also, you discuss your raise/calls on that board if it were versus button. You raise call some 6x/4x and some 75, but do you also have raise/folds and what hands do you choose? And do u have calling range versus button on this board since most ace highs jam pre and some 6x+ raise/gii? I guess if we dont he shud just min bet range.
-at 39min, with 55 on a95hh, you say you'd raise KhQx, but if he call and the turn is a heart, you will have 1.2 million behind and 1.1 million in pot. How do you approach this? Would you shove or bet smaller (im assuming you raise some FD's right, tho u prob dont have that many)? Would u be betting A9/55/99 type hands? He likely bet/calls AQ/AK/99/55/A5/A9 (some AJ) and some FD's like JThh QJhh 87hh so ranges are fairly tight.
-About your overall strategy, you tend to cbet very wide and small (like a9 on k64r co v bb u bet 66k into 209k). What makes you choose this strategy rather than devising a checkback range and a more polar betting range? When we have strong range advantage, like ep v bb, I see the merit more but in cutoff, our ranges are more similar.
8:00 I don't think most of his river range will be ace high. I think he will have a lot of other unpaired hands, some 8x, some overpairs that check back ott.
I would have a calling range on this board, but i'd be raising with a higher frequency because i'd rejam a lot of my pocketpairs and good high card hands and 6x is a much stronger hand vs. a btn opening range than an utg rage.
39:00 it depends on the exact heart and what he does OTT. Bottom set is a much stronger hand to bet ott than top two since it doesn't block top pair and it has better equity vs. flushes.
I think cbetting wide here is a good play, I have a large range advantage (probably around 60% and most opponents have very low x/r frequencies)
high-quality content, loved it. to my questions: * 8:00 On the 4d 4c 6s 3c, if we XC all our continuing range on this flop, I believe we need to develop a leading range OTT, especially on the 3c is great card for us giving us a strong range advantage for BB 54% vs 46% and where we expect villain to check back most of his range and likely have 2 live cards vs our 6x. Putting into PIO Solver, if we XC this flop with all 6x, 4x (PIO actually tells us to still raise them on flop vs UTG <20% range...), we need to lead them on the turn together with some OESD/GS/turned FD. The way we play makes it to easy for villain to play his A high & check back & catchup with his overcards OTR. Also interested to hear your thoughts like FiveBetBluff on your raise/folds on this flop
* 37:00 BU is opening from 20bb for 2.2bb, what made you decide to seize up your 3-bet so high to 6.8bb? if he goes all-in, we have 388k+614k=1000k pot and have to call 450k needing 31% equity which can be quite close with some of our 3-bet-bluff. It seems he has no fold equity with so big sizing and we get too good odds when he 4-bet-GII, I think we can 3-bet 200k here for these reasons..
* 45:30 Interesting thoughts about XR hands that block villain's continuing range vs XR. So on this particular board 3-way 773hh, aside from XR our 7x and strong draws like 6h5h/5h4h, you would also XR AhXx, 65s, 98s, 86s as a bluff as they block villain 76s/87s and nut FD that would continue? as there is already 7s 7h on board that means we would XR hands like 8d6d that have almost no equity when called?
8:00 I agree with what you said about leading the turn.
37:00 I think I should size it a little smaller he opened to a weird size and in game I was more concerned with acting in rhythm than getting the perfect bet size.
45:30 8d6d does have almost no equity when continuing, which is probably why i'd rather raise like Ah6d or Ah8d. 8d6d does have good blocker value vs. 7x, but blocking A7 and the NFD are probably better play. 86s would probably be a very loose x/r on this board.
19,00 what do you think about limp/3bfold?
39.00 55 what you do if european squeeze?
24.30 you said that ireadbooks make a really small 3bet and for that european decide to flat, is not 2.64x ip enough to have a good fold equity and make fold a hand like 7Ts? witch size of 3bet you prefer? 3x ip is not too much with 40bb ?
I'd probably rather shove A2o than 3b/fold it vs. that opponent and vs. almost any opponent I think call > shove > 3b/fold.
39:00 It depends a lot on his sizing and what the other opponent did in the hand. I can't really comment without specifics.
24:30
I think T7s is a close call to a 2.64 but is close to the bottom of european's opening range. So I don't think ireadbooks bluffs are working all that well if european is making a potentially good call with the bottom of his oepning range.
I'd 3b closer to what I do in these vids in the 2.9x range.
Sam,
I'm not running any competition for the "like ranking" but I'm very happy with my 8 likes on my first comment above, obviously, you should take it into consideration for a HH review and/or answers to the questions above as it looks like this is interesting not only for me but for many people. thanks.
I really hate 55 raising on A95ss, cant imagine how could u be balanced since I dont think you would bluff there a lot. I think you have AQ-AT a alot there and calling for sure with those.

Also interested about the last point of Fbb about small cbets at high fcy vs lower cbet fcy/checkback range
Great questions.
-at 39min, with 55 on a95hh - are you really balanced in this spot in this tournament w 24 ppl left to be able to raise the flop?

Thanks so much for replying in-video about my comment for note-taking, it really made my day :)
