Paul Atwal aka shifftyy is running from the Usain Bolt theme and found a safe hiding place at two regular NL400 tables. He discusses the action noticing the modified dynamic from his regular zoom grind and tries to adapt appropriately against strong competition.

I happened to rewatch this video today and just wanted to point out a few errors:

  • open folded J4s from SB.

  • ~30min table 2 76s hand. I think the flop bet size doesn't make a massive difference in middle card disparity on this texture. I will always have way more 3x than him from these positions. Had this board been A82, it might have made more of a difference. If someone wants to confirm with sims that'd be cool.

Also, PIO wasn't fully in view at the end. The Camtasia window was locked and I forgot to move PIO around. It seems like all the important stuff made it in, though. I also forgot to look at the 3flush turns after seeing how far both players likely deviated from eqm, but it would have been nice to check.

WHat RFI freq do u recommend in the sb? i saw elusive marks databse review and he had 49 UO PFR but said it could be higher. 51-54 more optimal?

That seems really high at eqm if you're opening for 3bb. However, depending on the games you play, there might be many opponents that don't call and/or 3b enough.

Greetings!

25:03 J3s: Did you fold because one of the players had short stack or you fold there in general? Some people believe that suited hands are good enough for a call in spots like this. Do you think these type of hands are kinda too loose?

44:48: How do you scroll through the turn cards like you did there?

Thx.

J3s I think it's a call HU and a fold mw unless the SB is terrible. Over-defending the BB mw is a common leak.

You can scroll through ranks/suits by pressing ctrl and using the arrow keys.

16minute A9(2nd table). So what's our bluffing range will be like? It seems like all Ahigh winning some % of the pot, and when we bluff them we basically saying villain will fold much more than he supposed to. Candidates are Khigh, T high or 9high and worse, and for value we can bet QT+.
After writing this I think we should be betting turn quite frequently...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the sentiment here, but I did bet turn. Our bluff region definitely includes hands of the type that you mentioned, as well as all low card combos that barrelled turn (eg 65, random FDs). A high is generally probably not gonna bluff river.

And another question. Pio hand, do you know why button cbets that board very low freq for that size? (curious about other reasons than nut advantage of CO)

Hey shifty, i had a question about the 45s hand at 33:00, why did you xraise 2.5x instead of 3x OOP in a 3! pot on 4c2s5s?

I think you mentioned earlier in the hand that you will have a lot of pocket pairs in this spot so are you doing a lot of xraising with those hands here? This is really confusing because the SPR is quite large so i thought it doesn't make sense to do this type of strat, do u mind explaining why this is optimal or better then just calling with range and xraising 3x?

Also i'm guessing another reason is that he might be 3!ing all his overpairs+ OTF vs a 2.5x so raising might become better, seeing how his play might look on future streets OTT...

Would appreciate a response cheers :)

I use %pot, not multipliers against the last bet. I think I xr'd 40% here. The spr is already low and I don't need to xr huge to apply pressure to my opponent's range. The theoretical argument would be that the EV is simply higher (though the differences are likely small). The practical argument is that a smaller sizing results in my opponent continuing with more combinations. This forces him to play a complicated strategy that is difficult to execute. Of course there is a threshold where our sizing is too small and we allow him to realize too much equity with his range.

I think you mentioned earlier in the hand that you will have a lot of pocket pairs in this spot so are you doing a lot of xraising with those hands here?

I'll mostly be trying to replicate the PIO strategy shown at the end. I'll adjust it accordingly with reads.
