21:21 if u think about it .....AQo, folding might be the best play.

Last minute I'm thinking how to find those A6-A8 raises on the river. Well for sure I can't know that villain is somewhat capped for 1/2 size, he might be just using small size with way too many strong hands(unbalanced strategy). If he does it will be bigger mistake to raise it(A6-A8) than call, right?

Thanks for video, nice pio analyses!

Hey Ben. At 6:00 you turn 2 pair in multiway pot, and choose half pot size, saying you could even bet smaller. You say "the idea here is basically to..." but never finish the sentence. I was hoping you could finish the sentence here.

Why is betting bigger not a thing here? My thinking is everyone has checked and is capped, our betting range is going to be polar, thus a big bet makes all the sense. Why is that wrong?

How do you approach studying multiway pots? Do you believe Monkersolver multiway outputs are solid? What other study tools would you recommend if someone was willing to try anything?

Thanks for the video. You mention duplicating parts of your opponents range with the 7d at 15:28. I understand what you mean, but I’m not quite getting the application of that idea here. Can you elaborate at all? Is it another way of framing removal?

Thanks.

QQ bluff dont you think that people is overfolding in the turn so that villain range in river is very strong (not so much fe) I think villains range river is going to be AJ+ and AJ is only suited, cannot see villain folding AK+, so i dont think the bluff is very profitable in spite of the blockers

what hands do you think villain is calling on that turn that folds in the riv?

Thank you very much for making these

hello. About QQ hand. I was pretty surprised when in your sim checking flop almost not allowed for OOP. Not so long time ago Daniel Dvoress made a simular sim (board AK6r but with lower SPR): https://www.runitonce.com/poker-training/videos/3bet-pots-part-2/ (brief results at 10:00) and in his sims OOP checking 80%. I understand that board a bit different, SPR lower, but still surprised that it changes checking OOP from 80% to <1%.

mako27: While I generally love Daniel Dvoress' videos and found also this one very helpful, his assumptions about preflop play in that sim were quite sketchy. He assumed that co would flat all of AA, all of KK, all of AKs and even 25% of AKo vs the bb 3bet, which, at 50bb deep seems way off, esp that AK portion (compared to what the population does in mtts). What he did was really almost not allow co to 4bet, which then resulted in his range being almost as strong as the 3bettors

Another factor is that the 3betting range Daniel gave, which he apparantly took from pio preflop, at 50 bb is a lot more polarized then the onne Ben is using for deeper stacked play, so Daniels range has a fair number of non BW/nonpair/ nonA/nonK hands that completely whiff, and those hands are almost absent from the callers range, (other then some SCs)

Hi Ben.

How much mistake (or ev lose) do you think would be to simplify frequencies of 25% to 75% on a 50% freq and keep a simplify strategy of only 50% and 100% freqs?

Hey ben,
Great vid as always.
You talked about rake simulations.
I would love to know in what ways you do this simulations. thanks

Hi Ben, nice video! What are some of the bluff-raises for IP otr? I can see 82 is bluff-raising but what are other combos? Is it centered around having 9,T,5?

Ben Sulsky What do you mean by OOP is using a ton of potshare? Thanks.

Hi, Ben Sulsky - I noticed that when you did the videos with Patrick Sekinger you had mentioned to him that he might consider sizing down his 3-bets. I also notice that you use relatively large 3-bet sizings, which I like, but I'm curious about whether your thoughts changed regarding the advice you gave to Patrick or if you are simply implementing a different 3-betting strategy. Thanks.

hey,Ben,is qq always a bet on this qkj flop?what do we really acomplish here by betting? Protection? value?semibluff?
